  1. Seeing as we live in a capitalist society, and most pride themselves on this fact, what Mike Ashley is doing is fair game. He's taking full advantage of this "opportunity". It's just our bad luck that it's happening to our beloved club.

     

    From his perspective, he's doing nothing wrong, unless of course he's caught doing something illegal.

  2. He's scored 3 times for us in 20 games with one of those goals a finish into an empty net and another a big deflection. Doesn't really bode well.

     

    I like him because of his pace, tenacity and directness but he can't really be depended on to start. He creates nowt either.

     

    That's the nagging doubt in my mind, he hasn't really scored a convincing goal yet which makes you think he's a natural born striker. Usually they will have a good shot on them or show a poacher's finish. Bellamy for example could belt a cracking shot with his left foot even if he wasn't getting on the end of many chances. I'd love to see Gouffran score a quality goal just to see what he's got in his locker.

     

    The two finishes vs Citeh and Morecambe ruled out for offside were cracking like.

  3. Wasn't he hauled off marra by Keegan iirc? First half he appeared to let out some expletives towards the touchline and was removed sharpish. Can't remember who it was against.

    was against Villa at SJP in the 95/96 season. Was Live on Sky too. .com had a link to an interview they did with Bez about that incident yesterday but can't find that link today.

     

    Was that the day both Townsend and Venison scored a couple of absolute screamers?

  4. Gouffran is the very definition of a cult hero IMO. Not very good but will leave lasting positive memories. He's already scored the goal that kept us up last season, and I'll be putting good money on him scoring past the mackems.

  5.  

    It's another story I like the sound of, so I am going to cling to it for dear life.

     

    Basically this. If we were sold and a new manager/coaching team was employed I'd be more inclined to not give a f*** about this window

     

    Moneybags Ukrainian swoops in to buy Ashley out, and installs Hiddink as manager. Now why is that so fucking hard? Do we really not deserve something like this?

  6. Spurs' final ball has been woeful.

     

    They don't have a final ball, for the past year their final ball has been Bale shooting.

     

    That's true but I think that's because they haven't had a proper in-form striker (or set of strikers) to build their attacking play around. Now with Soldado on board, they will need to play differently if they're going to get anything out of him .
