Guest gggg Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 Why would anyone be jealous of Spurs? this is the first time they've been at the top even at this stage in my lifetime, there's enough successful clubs to be jealous of. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiresias Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 I'd be pretty happy to see them challenge for the title with anyone but media darling 'arry in charge. Now just dread all the sycophantic drivel about him. The team is good though, nothing complex just lightning speed and direct, controlled by Modric in the middle. Still not a great fan of Redknapp even looking beyond his tapping up etc he isn't a great tactician, just seems to have a pretty great batch of players at the moment, and a simple but effective plan. Having said that if he does win the title have to give him his due. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martin Lol Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 I'm sure one of the Spurs lads can fill in the details, but I'm hugely impressed by how Levy is running the club. Consistently getting excellent prices for departing players I assume means Spurs are in a position to splash out where necessary. They've certainly had plenty of money to invest and move forward but a lot of it - or at least that's the impression I'm given - is down to how well the club is run, not that Levy himself has a massive fortune to pump into the club. Funny enough, there's a fair few fans who would like ENIC to sell up, I'm not one. Levy has kept a tight rein on the finances which has at times been frustrating, but Levy won't pay what he perceives to be over the odds and would rather keep a player than sell him on the cheap. He can't get it right every time, no one does that, but the fans know that if the right players become available at the right price, the money is there, in spite of having bought up half the property in Tottenham over the past few years in readiness for building a new stadium.

Guest Haris Vuckic Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 Levy likes a bevvie. Concerning rumour about a chairmans alcoholism or convenient rhyme? Only the true ITK can decipher it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The College Dropout Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 Neither Manchester side are that good. Aye, City are only on course to finish with over 90 points. Also comfortably out the CL in the group stages. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 A lot of people on here seem to hate them out of jealousy. Bit bizarre really. They play good football, they don't spend like f*** and it's not like they're a local rival. No reason to hate them. Yep. We swapped positions with Spurs when SBR was sacked and we've been jelly ever since. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interpolic Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 I think they did fine considering it was their first year in it and the quality of their group. League was always going to be more important for them this year. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neil Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 Typical Spurs. Which is why they AREN'T title contenders. Depends how strictly you want to define the term. Will they win it this season? No. But they're not going to be a million points away. They're essentially as close as you can come to without being serious contenders. There are only 2 teams who can win it this year, but Spurs are staking a very credible claim to the 3rd position. They're both firmly ahead of Chelsea and Arsenal as it stands (could easily see both Spurs and Arsenal in the top 4 this year). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 They were a goal against Napoli away from going through, man. Don't talk such rubbish. They were delaying the inevitable the whole way through. Lucky last minute goal at home to Villarreal, even the last group game win was a against a Bayern reserve side. At no point did they look at home in the CL. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 They finished on 10 points. We finished on less and went through. They didn't do particularly well, but they didn't comfortably exit the competition, either. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnypd Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 Would love spurs to pip the Manchester clubs to the title. don't think they've quite got enough to do it this season, but if they hang on to Bale, Modric and a couple of other key players (or replace Adebayor with someone just as good or better) and probably upgrade Lennon they could do it. unfortunately this year is probably their best chance as Man Utd's young players will be a year more experienced next season and Man City will inevitably go out and replace their couple of weak positions with superior players. So with that in mind they should be looking for someone who can create out of nothing this Jan to match the likes of Nani, Rooney, Aguero and Silva.
