Someone earlier mentioned that words were exchanged when Faye was taken off at half time in the Everton game. Ok, I agree that some of us (myself included) may be over estimating Faye, but given the club's inability to sign even half-decent defenders I think frustration is an appropriate response. Kind of the way Boumsong was overrated by fans during his first half-season with the team. We wanted to believe....

Danish sides seem to be doing really well. Isn't Aalborg in the Champions League? beat kaunas last night 2-0 (i think) Ok, so they've got one foot in. Bronby, Copenhagen, and Midtjylland in the uefa cup. Edit: And Nordsjaelland. All winning. Not bad.

Really angry.

He's not Juventus' Alan Smith equivalent is he? Link is to a Torino FC site--Juve's arch rivals.

Oh dear. Amady Faye will do well for them.

And the funny thing is that Aston Villa scored more goals than Spurs did last season.

James, Sorry, but where did you get those numbers? Really a bit silly giving a player like Modric who has done nothing 4 points and a proven player like Arteta 1 point. Really, you'd rate Carew, Viduka, and Crouch ahead of Yakubu? Based on what? Surely not goals scored.

It's far too early to hand the trophy to Spurs. That's for sure. They had the best squad outside the top four at the start of last season and look what it got them. Silverware? Portsmouth? Carling Cup? FA Cup?

Signing another player on the way down with their best years behind them, just like the bad old days I don't think there is any doubt at all that if the old regime had signed a 26 year old central defender for 11m quid they would be labelling him as you say, along with the old "trophy player" bollocks what on earth is the point in this post? Self parody?

Yeah, I do. It's a house of cards... Johnson to Fulham, Smith to Everton, X to Newcastle. With Rangers out of Europe, maybe Cuellar is coming in. Faye going out.

Spurs have great players... up top and in the midfield. But their defence stinks and they haven't accomplished anything. They finished 3 points in front of us last season ffs. They'll be fifth best when they prove it. Everton on the other hand aren't all that impressive on paper, but they're a tough team to beat. Their backline trumps Spurs, Portsmouth, and Villa.

Villa? Really? No, really? And Spurs new midfield looks solid, but I'm not convinced. Cahill has made a believer of me.

But then what would we have to measure crapdom by ? "Is player xyz worse than Smith ?" David Healy.

A prediction. Not a wish. Given Beye Taylor Faye / Cacapa Enrique Butt /Guthrie Geremi Duff Gutierrez Martins Milner Don't think Coloccini will start.

It just occurred to me that Smith could be a good buy for Everton. Than again, I thought he'd be a good buy for us too.

Yeah!

No, really. Did he say that? Smith? Coloccini?

Who are (is) playing up top? Milner? Gutierrez?

Only reason people are reading anything into it is because he is our only striker and we are playing we none instead of him and would have expected him to be on the bench that and wishful thinking.

4-3-3 or 4-4-2?
