Are Tottingham Hotspurs currently bottom of the PL?

JAMMY FUCKING BASTARDS.

Good teams make their own luck, though. How many times have Man U, Liverpool and Chelsea scored vital injury time goals over the years? I'll tell you. One GAJILLION.

Jammy again, no doubt. Clearly outside the box according to the radio. At least Man Utd are winning. Not according to my eyes which saw it. Game over. 1-2.

Fucking hell, some half this is.

Milner equalises with what looked like a handball to me, but would have been a penalty otherwise in any case

Spunking 12m plus just to get a player 5 months early is madness. I know football long ago lost any attachment to reality, but it is a bit galling to read about this kind of thing when every time we turn the telly on it is x hundred jobs lost, and credit crunch all over the shop.

Rewind to last summer. OMG!!! Spurz have buyed Modric and Bentley!!!" They iz going to be champonsh league!!11!!

No wonder he had all that trouble with his ticker. Every time I read about Kinnear, he is getting arsey with someone or in a strop about something. He really needs to calm the fuck down.

If this transfer goes through, then it really will be the end of football.

The Chinese have a saying ; 'It is better to keep one's mouth closed and be thought a fool, than to open it and prove the point beyond all doubt'..... I reckon you have just verified the truth of their saying...... Wasn't that Mark Twain?

He's like a taller Nigel Reo Coker.

Interesting site, that. The reason the tabloids are all down the bottom of that transfer accuracy league is because they have a market that demands to read that kind of stuff every single day, so they're more likely to run stories on the flimsiest of evidence. Personally, I read the Guardian, and only turn to the sports pages after I've finished reading the fascinating Society G2 supplement. *knits yoghurt*

The bad news. Shorey is f***ing gash. He's absolutely no physical presence, no pace *whatsoever* and no idea what to do when he does get forward. Put it like this. MON prefers to play Luke Young on the wrong side of the pitch, and NRC or Cuellar at RB to avoid playing Shorey. When Freddie Bouma comes back, he'll have even less of a prayer Please, please, please take him. Actually, if he did go to you, it would make much more sense of the N'Zogbia rumours. He knew enough at Reading to make him have pretty impressive assists stats for a fullback Assists 07/08 Fabregas 17 Young 14 Barry 10 Kalou 10 Rooney 10 Shorey 9 Bentley 9 Berbatov 9 Elano 9 Nani 9 Wow no Ronaldo on that list but Nani?! No Duff or Milner?! Milner as in the lad who couldn't cross to save his life? I think Milner has 5 assists already this season, and 3 goals. I've not been too convinced since his return, but the statistics look decent.

Rumours (skimpy ones, mind) that Villa have signed Fabian Delph from Leeds for 6m. I know nish about him and it probably isn't true.

I can't go on what he did at Reading, I didn't pay much attention to him there. But I've seen him here, and the general impression has been very, very poor indeed. And it isn't just me, ask any Villa fan.

I'm just going on what I've seen. Also: Gavin McCann played for England. MON bought Marlon Harewood.

The bad news. Shorey is fucking gash. He's absolutely no physical presence, no pace *whatsoever* and no idea what to do when he does get forward. Put it like this.

We'd never accept a 65% loss on him tbf. This and the supposed value City place on Shay show how the other clubs view our situation though. They think we're desperate. Aye £2mill and £3mill are just insults, we paid £5.8mill for Joey and he is woh about £4mill even with his past history, as for the £3mill offer for Shay one of the best keepers in the league City should be told to fk off no matter what they offer now. Players are worth what people are prepared to pay for them, and nobody is going to pay near what you paid for Barton, given events since you signed him, regardless of how good a player he potentially is.

This was reported today, fucking hell, how does he get away with it? He also said Villa had made the biggest offer for Defoe, but MON swore blind last week (in response) that we hadn't offered anything for him, and he wasn't interested. Clearly his game was "look, ours is the only offer, after all". He was doing the same thing with Downing. Why even speak to the media about the fact you're interested in a player?

Has surely to be Harry Redknapp. Not only do we get him conducting practically all of his transfer dealings through the media (too many examples to cite, here), but check out this little beauty. I honestly think he's having some sort of nervous breakdown. Regardless of whether he is or is not a better coach than either of those mangers, or the best coach in the world, what is wrong with the man? Is he incapable of keeping his jowelly gob shut for more than ten minutes? http://www.tribalfootball.com/tottenham-boss-redknapp-im-better-coach-oneill-ferguson-221474

I know what you mean. The weaknesses in the squad are evident, ie everyone knows where they are, he just needs to sort them out this month. The squad is a lot deeper than it was last season, but as you say, the UEFA cup complicates things for us. Having said that, he's not really too worried about the competition so far (as seen by his selections in the group phase - do as much as we need to, no more). I think the longer we linger in the echelons of the top four, the less he'll worry about the UEFA.

Fucking hell, look at the state of his hair.

I'd rather they won it than Liverpool. People talk about our luck, but fuck me, we've played better than Liverpool for most of this season, and they've been incredibly flukey.
