Predikshun: 1-1, dire performance from England, insufferable Yanks chanting U-S-A, half empty Wembley and bad tabloid headlines that could have been avoided had they not played a pointless friendly and stuck to a training session.

A medical for an unnamed player has been booked on Friday at the private clinic Spurs use. It wouldn't be the first time though that a medical was booked and no one turned up.
Nicely covered.
Indeed. Second hand source, not falsifiable....textbook ITK bollocks. Well played sir.

I'm slightly worried about our transfer policy and whether or not we'll have the funds to be competitive in getting key players. Only slightly, though.
How can you judge our transfer policy until we actually sign players and the window is closed?
It'll be a bit late to worry about it when the window is closed tbf.
And a bit early before it opens.

So basically "other clubs' summer transfers" are Spurs rumours then?
Nobody is doing any business (except the Modric deal) but people are pissing themselves over our inactivity?
-
I still don't understand the controversy.
If there are disagreements within the club (and I don't doubt that there are) then is there any chance that Keegan, Wise, Ashley, Vetere, Jimenez etc. could do what the rest of us do with the colleagues we have occasional disagreements with and compromise? Or is that a stupid suggestion?
This all just seems like a collective hysteria to do with losing out on Modric and failing to sign this Turkish player before the transfer window even opens. And if it's this bad now then I dread to think what it's going to be like if we haven't signed anyone by - shock and horror - mid June. Relax FFS.

Marcelino in, King Kev out?
May 25 2008 by Neil Farrington, Sunday Sun
NEWCASTLE are again considering replacing Kevin Keegan with top Spanish coach Marcelino, according to sources in Spain.
And he and Newcastle are directly linked through scout Pablo Longoria.
Having identified several new signings for Marcelino at Racing last summer and during his time at previous club Recreativo de Huelva, the Sunday Sun can reveal that Longoria — thought to be just 21 — is now talent-spotting in Europe on behalf of Newcastle.
And with the two men remaining close, it is little wonder that talk is rife in Spain of a United approach for Marcelino.
Longoria is liaising with Newcastle’s technical co-ordinator Jeff Vetere in scouring Europe for bright young talent.
But the young Spaniard has no professional background in football, with his apparently encyclopaedic knowledge of players across the Continent said to be gained from the Internet.
So some 21 year old FM geek from Spain is doing our continental scouting?

Well done Doncaster. Played well and thoroughly deserved it.

Well said. In fact, didn't Emre & Parker sign for us instead of Everton in the summer they finished 4th? I seem to recall remember Moyes complaining about it at the time.
Mid table is mid table when it comes to signing foreign players, and money will be the decider 9 times out of 10 not whether you finished 6th or 12th. It doesn't mean that all players are necessarily greedy, but that is simply how it works when you are making a career decision. Having said that, a healthy dose of realism (not pessimism) is a good thing so people don't get carried away. As in 25 pages of nail biting over some Turk that nobody has heard of for example. Or pissing ourselves because we haven't signed anyone on the 22 May.

Amazing.
Redcafe has some of the funniest fans on the net for any site.
Their Arsenal celebration thread is pure gold.
They seem to get more satisfaction out of taking the piss out of Terry & Grant than they do winning the Champions League.

Last summer, Custis says we are flogging Owen. This summer, Martins. I will never understand how sport journalists in the UK get away with this stuff, even if it is The Sun. You can lie through your teeth, never cite a source (ever) and not only get it past an editor and printed but earn a fortune in the process. Great work I suppose.

Ashton looks a bit like Shearer therefore he must be good.
-
Why are people worried? I don't get it. Too many pessimistic people following this club.
20 pages on some Teamtalk bullshit about a player 98% of us had never heard of until his name was linked. While it does look like Spurs transfer policy this summer is "buy all the players our rivals are interested in" I can't say I can't understand all this worry about one player. Be cool. I'm waiting until at least July 1 to hit the panic button.

I would bet on Torres, Ronaldo or Frei.

Farewell Mort. Job well done for the most part.

Check out the MLS kits for 08-09 season.
Bought the Toronto top a few weeks ago with Robert 32 on the back.
It's a shame the Chicago one looks like a Boro kit.
-
Would earn a load of money and considering their current top scorer is Danny Dichio I think he would do fairly well.
Go for it Shola!

What a good idea. Signed.
-
Terry should take one. Can't see him missing.
-
I hate Manchester United with a fury that will never, ever die.
-
GETINNNNNNNN HAHAHAHAHAHA RONALDO YOU CUNT
-
My summer is made if Ronaldo misses. Bonus if he cries.
-
Terry should take one. Can't see him missing.

Pens in the pouring rain will be fun.

Brilliant end to an average game.

This friendly might actually be worth watching because the "first teamers" like Lampard, Terry, Rooney, Cashley, Joe Cole etc. won't be playing. Gives the likes of Bentley, Young, Walcott a chance to do something.
