Over my dead body. That wanker lost every last remaining piece of respect i had for him the day he decided to shit on us five days before the start of the season, because he'd decided he didn't fancy risking Brand O'Neill by moving a few players on. What's more, his short sighted, lazy transfer policy of last minute overpriced UK based players is now biting us in the arse. Heskey, another year to go, aged 33, on 60k a week, Beye, 33, two years to go, 40k a week, Curtis Davies, 9.5m, sold for 3.5m ... I could go on all night.

No, not really. There's nothing wrong with most of the squad. The major problem is that we've forgotten how to defend. We have two utter fucking jokers in Dunne and Collins, who have been dreadful all season (and were, apparently, out on the piss till 4am the morning of the West Brom game), who the manager won't drop, while Carlos Cuellar sits on the bench. Kyle Walker is going to be a great midfielder, but he is never in a million years a full back. Luke Young has steadied the ship since coming in at left back. Ashley Young will go, and to be honest, that's a good thing, he's been poor for almost two years now, and both he and the club could benefit from a change. At the start of the season, I thought it would be hard to make the top six again. Looking at the way the season has panned out, I now think it would not have been impossible. Having said that, for this squad to have spent most of the season in the BOTTOM six is absolutely unacceptable, and that is down to the manager, I am afraid. Entirely agree about Young. He just isn't playing well enough but you could still get a decent fee from someone. What's happened to Albrighton? Albrighton been out of it for a while, injured for a bit, came back as a sub ysterday, had a bit of a mare, but had fucking morons who should know better, like Collins and Petrov, screaming abuse at him every time he misplaced a pass.

Even our players never gave a flying one about the Europea League. Think about it, you're 21, 22 years old, you're picking up 30k a week, you're happy as a pig in shit, you get your afternoons off to swan about town buying clothes and acting Charlie Big Bollocks, so how does it feel having to fly out to Latvia to play FC Cocksocket on a Thursday night, to appear in front of a Channel Five audience which will be dwarfed by repeats of Escape to the Country on BBC2? The competition is an absolute joke. and I find it impossible to believe that any player anywhere would factor in playing in the EL as a swinging factor in signing for a club. Unfortunately the competition is a fucking joke. Still love to see us back in it like. UEFA once again they don't have a fucking clue. If only it wasn't for money, top 2 Champs League, rest in the Waffa and bring back the Cup Winners Cup, winner of the Waffa goes in the CL. Bingo. Nah, fuck that. Let's go back to year zero and do it properly. European Cup for Champions, and champions only ("Champions" League with teams which finished fourth? Liverpool haven't been champions for twenty years now). UEFA Cup Cup Winners Cup (revitalises the FAC too). Fuck modern television oriented football. I for one am sick to the tits of every single thing about the Champions League. Everything from the faux excitement of watching, say, Man U play Chelsea in it YEAR AFTER FUCKING YEAR, to the obligatory slow mo shots of moments of no import because UEFA thinks it looks good on the telly, to the shitty rebranding of the host stadia, to the fact that whenever we watch the games, the horrible fat apparatchiks of UEFA are lining their pockets even more. The whole thing makes me want to vomit.

I actually think the opposite. His comments recently indicate that he's well and truely fed up with a few players so hopefully it's the return of the cut throat, no nonsence Redknapp and not this 'nice guy' imposter we've had this season. He said we need to bring in "class players" too. All sounds promising. Out of interest, what's the general attitude of Spurs fans to Harry? I always get the impression that the rough, diamond geezer thing wouldnt naturally go down too well at Tottenham, but then he produces results, which can't be sniffed at. Majority don't like him and never have done tbh. What dont they like about him in particular? You can't argue with his results, surely?

What you need is for Martin O'Neill to get a job, thus securing you a buyer for Keane.

I don't think the Europe thing comes into it much, to be honest. Were they even playing in the Europa League when they signed Modric, for example? The thing with their good signings is not that they've attracted them on the basis of the fact they're Tottenham - in that respect, they're going to struggle, as they don't offer mega wages and they're not one of the largest clubs - the key point is that they identified them and went out and got them. They've signed some decent players. Their problem, I think, will be that their players have now tasted the CL - a decent chunk of it, too - and that is something of a double edge sword, as the players will want more, and anything that happens next season is going to be a bit of a let down by comparison. As for the Europa League, I honestly think most players would prefer not to be involved in that at all. My prediction of doom for Spurs next season, though, is based as much on "because that's exactly the sort of thing that happens to Spurs" as it is on rational evidence, mind.

Said last night that he was lucky not to get a red. To have that much of a go at a ref to the extent that he's in his face shouting plus it went on for ages is the worst example of dissent I've seen for a long time. Bang out of order. And what's worse is that any "manager" with half a brain would have subbed him there and then. In fact, they wouldn't have had him on the pitch in the first place, but that's by the bye. Gary McAllister is a horrible shit house. Sorry. Just wanted to say that.

heskey is a fucking idiot. That clip doesnt convey just how embarassing his rant was, and how long it went on for.

Come home, Tommy, come home.

Oh, and re Stoke, their display against us the other week was the most primitive, horrible, cynical display of gamesmanship and anti-football I've ever seen. I never thought anything could make me want those vile lottery winning tossbuckets to win silverware but I fucking hope they murder Stoke. Even if Pullis does have his dead mother there (dreadful, cloying line of questioning from the MOTD gimp there)

Harry not laying into Charlie Adam = Harry wants to sign Charlie Adam in the summer.

I predict right now that Tottenham will have a terrible season next year, and Redknapp will be gone at the end of the season. You can just see it happening.

Wolves fans: "The Black Country's ours, the Black Country's ours, fuck off to Birmingham, the Black Country's ours" That Wolves - Albion ones is the most complex "derby" of all of them. Half the Ollbeeyun support hate us most, and don't give a shit about Wolves, and the other half are the other way around.

I think he'd definitely fit in with the way you play, and I can see that you might be that place he's been looking for where he'll get the arm around the shoulder he needs to rediscover his best form. You should definitely make the deal permanent.

I do n all but if I was a Villa fan I wouldn't. It's not our shirt, anyway. http://www.birminghammail.net/news/top-stories/2011/05/05/revealed-full-story-behind-aston-villa-kit-astrophe-97319-28638135/

Apparently, the Villa one up there is not the final shirt. the club have said it is just a prototype and not the final version.

It's nowhere near as bad as this season's monstrosity, but why the checks? Why not just solid fucking colour? Nike's kits in the four years we've had them - first two years, brilliant, second two years, gash.

Call me a traditionalist, but Newcastle are supposed to play in black and white stripes, and that doesn't look like black and white stripes to me. I hate all these new wanky fucking kits. It's like our new one with fucking checks in it. What's wrong with the actual, proper colours?

Although he did manage to spell "have" incorrectly. Young people today. Honestly, at least fucking try

Whichever media it is in - printed press, television, radio, Twitter, take your pick - one thing is consistent, and that is that Piers Morgan is an oily, talentless, repulsive waste of fucking skin.

Don't forget, this is Stephen Ireland, he'll get "injured" or ill at the drop of a hat. Whilst with us he ruled himself out on more than one occasion with "a virus", and on the second occasion, was seen out on the piss that very same evening.

I bet "Wazza"'s lawyer is well impressed by him announcing it on the Twittertron.
