Cool.

2 or 3-0 loss for us. Can't see anything else with that team.

Sounds like he's dissing Owen lol.

Dreadful team.

Chelsea fans everywhere have just started weeping in unison. Bramblinho played a blinder at our place last week. Rooney always tears him to pieces.

True, but I think when a player is deciding on a club they take many things into account and league position is definately one of them. Also if representatives are trying to sell a club to a potential target dont tell me beating Chelsea in the final of a cup wouldnt be somewhat impressive. Bottom line they have finished above us for the past four seasons. I know what your saying about the two fifths being a blip but they clearly have a good team and dont belong in the bottom half of the table. We dont either truthfully but if I am really honest I think they are clearly the more likely to do something in the next few seasons. Also when you hear some of the stuff KK comes out with in interviews it cant help either imo. If you look at their squad they only have maybe 2 or 3 top quality players: Woodgate, King and Berbatov. The rest of their players are either good mid table players, young players or complete shit (Jenas, Kaboul etc.) I think one thing they've managed to do well is create this facade that they are a step above the other teams chasing 5th place when in reality as Everton and Villa have shown this season, Spurs aren't really that good. Anyone can beat Chelsea on their day...heck we've done it 4 out of the last 6 times at home and once in the FA Cup. I honestly don't think players will be impressed by a league cup win at all.

Only 4 and 5 are big reasons really. No-one abroad will probably even be aware that they won the League Cup as it's fairly meaningless. Their 2 fifth place finishes are more like the blip than their current form given their overall performance since the Premiership began.

This. By the way: best avatar ever.

I thought that earlier when I saw his team but didn't wanna be an arsehole. His back up team is far better than his first team.

Ta, if villa end up ahead of everton, have everton entered for the Intertoto? I don't know. We can't get it though as we haven't finished in the top half. I wasnt thinking for one minute we would be going to Europe, I was more thinking who would be able to offer UEFA to their new signings if we are in competition to sign a player. Everyone bar Blackburn and West Ham.

And on the down side every one of them now has European football to offer potential signings whilst we don't.

Yeah, read that this morning. Here's some links http://www.glory-glory.co.uk/forums/thread/361426.aspx http://www.planetspurs.com/fullnews/201/Ramos-Swoops-for-15m-Rated-Bentley.php

But that's just it isn't it. Without even trying Luque contributed more. Smith is an abomination. I personally hold a grudge against Luque. I honestly feel he was the most careless squad player we had. He said it himself. He came to Newcastle for the money. Blame Shepherd *puts tin hat on and flees before the inevitable war*

it's also in portugal's biggest sports daily (their equiv of marca or el mundo deportivo) http://www.record.pt/noticia.asp?id=786062&idCanal=24 So basically we've bid for him but he's going to Chelsea to replace Makelele. They are stuffed with central midfielders. Mikel Ballack Essien Lampard Sidwell all after two places. We have to be in with a chance. Also says that Arsenal want him to replace Flamini and Man Utd want him (because they're cunts like that.) Spurs are mentioned though. Let's see if they can go for the hattrick eh?

performance-wise, i'd say it was Albert Luque as the worst signing. Albert Luque scored against the Mackems. Smith can't even do that. Smith did not play as a striker for much of the season. He was used in midfield. I think Smith has a lot more potential, though I agree his stats are appalling. We should be seeing Smith used in a Striker role, upfront with Owen/Martins. Seriously?
