Tottenham Hotspur

[Fredo]

Did someone from Spurs shag your missus or something? You've been slating them for ages. They're a quality side with excellent players and a manager with a clear vision how to play.

Off the pitch, they're a year into their new training ground and sorting out their plans for a new stadium.

I think we'll run them close this year, but to say they'll be a sinking ship really has no foundation given how they've done since Redknapp came in.

I just think they've reached a plateau and will not kick on from there. The last 2 years have proved that. They got in a CL position two years ago and have been stagnating since then. Okay, Villas Boas does seem to know what he's doing but he's still unproven to this level. Much like Rodgers you would say but Spurs is Spurs, so they'll always be punching above their weight a little bit. They've got a bit of the delusions of grandeur syndrome.

[RedReet]

Haha they're better than us. Are they ****. Spurs will be a sinking ship this season.

Plateau is a lot different to a sinking ship. They've flirted between 5th and 4th for a number of years, and all it could take is a major run and a bit of luck to have an exciting season. The inclusions of Soldado and Paulinho are important for that push. They're not exactly sitting back and hoping for 5th and a lucky break for 4th.

We'll see. Sinking ship was hyperbolic, I agree, but not sure they are that good without Bale's goals/efficiency from midfield.

To paraphrase:

"£81m for Bale is incredible... Spurs should accept as he could break his leg tomorrow and his career would be over, I know as it's happened to me."

So even though they've finished above us the last 4 seasons in a row, by 11 points & 17 points in the last 2 seasons... you still think they are not a better side than us? Probably the same way you think Bale is average. There's one thing sticking to your guns... and other thing just ignoring the blatantly obvious for the sake of not changing your opinion.

I don't know what fantasy barometer are you using to come to this complete and utter delusion. The results and standings are there for all to see for the last 4 years, they have clearly been the better side for the last 4 years and they deserve credit for that.

Will they be a bette side than us this season.. i hope not, but sure we'll see come the end of the campaign.

this must be true.... only explanation.

[Shaggy]

My Spurs mate reckons Soldado has failed his medical?!

[Gibbo]

Words starting to spread around then now.

[danperkins]

My Spurs mate reckons Soldado has failed his medical?!

seriously???

That would be absolutely hilarious

[Gazzla]

My Spurs mate reckons Soldado has failed his medical?!

That would be hilarious if true, he'd pass our medical though Aqua was clinically dead and managed to sail through

[danperkins]

what a ****ing joke of a signing

[Bender]

more so with Soldado slagging of his own chairman

I'm not sure where the funny bit of that is.
