Tottenham Hotspur

Great players he said.

I'd say Modric is very good indeed, Bale is pretty good, and I have no idea about Kaboul as he's never made an impression on me.

Splitting hairs

How many great players do we have? I'd say 2, maybe 3 at a push.

Modric and Bale are great players imo.

Not a great but Assou-Ekotto has 7 clean sheets this year and had none for the same amount of game time last year.

They are on a roll and look very strong.

Yes - they look good. I don't mind them and am surrounded by their fans in work. I know it won't last though so why not let them enjoy it? They have a very good first 11, play good football and have waited long enough so why begrudge them?

I don't begrudge them one bit. I'm from a family + group of mates who are all gooners so I have a soft spot for them but I don't dislike Spurs and I think they deserve to be where they are. If it is either of the Mancs or Spurs for the title then I wouldn't even have to think about it.

Pure hyperbole.

We have one, maybe two great players. Gerrard and maybe Reina. Suarez is not there yet.

Does Assou-Ekotto play in goal or something? Or are the clean sheets more down to the fact they have got rid of Gomez?

Sorry, not durected at you

Spot on. Harry Redknapp is a genius. He's brought in top class players on a shoestring budget.

Really? The Spurs squad cost 156 million pounds, after adjusting some of the players' transfer fees for today's money it becomes 230 million pounds. Eg. Luka Modric cost Spurs 28 million pounds in today's money, not 16.5 million.
Also we need to take into consideration the HUGE losses made on players like Robbie Keane & David Bentley!
Our squad cost 170 million which in today's money only becomes 192 million and we've made HUGE profits on players like Alonso & Torres as well as some small losses like Robbie Keane going back to Spurs, however the profits FAR outweigh the losses...
Make no mistake Harry is a wheeler dealer - he's spent big at all the clubs he's been at...

Woosh! I was of course portraying that nauseating stereotypical opinion lots of "neutrals" seem to have that Liverpool have spent billions and Harry has "done it on a shoestring"

Sorry, my fault - u should've added the sarcastic smiley so I would understand!

[Fivex]

errr.. he's banned? i thought he just changed his nickname

Changed his name from Joe to Bon.

Eg. Luka Modric cost Spurs 28 million pounds in today's money, not 16.5 million.

Is that a fact? He signed in 2008. You're trying to say that £16m in 2008 translates to almost double just three and a half years later?

That is in no way a fact.

I'm here, bitches.

Cocky fans? All the yids I've been speaking to would be delighted if we finish where we currently are.

The fact we're starting to be considered as title contenders worries me. If we're still amongst it around easter time, I MAY start to believe that we can do this. The same sentiments are followed in the Spurs forum I frequent.

So not really sure where you're getting this Spurs are cocky cunts lark from.

Fair point. Just cunts then

[dom9]

So that's a friendly Stoke and a friendly Spurs fan you've insulted his week then.
