Europe!!! Here We Come Again!!!

Cheers!!!

Re: Tottenham Hotspur - the Pride of London
 

congratulations on being the most exciting and most attack-minded team in the epl...(just my own personal view) almost always a delight to watch spurs play...;)

congratulations on having unearthed a big shiny diamond in berbatov!!!

by the way, the way robbie keane has been playing this season, why on earth jol is not playing him every single game???:confused:

Re: Tottenham Hotspur - the Pride of London
 

"most exciting and most attack minded team" - that, my friend, is the only and best way to describe tottenham hotspur. nothing's changed since the days of archibald and crooks. ok, maybe just the time during george graham when spurs played with 8 defenders.

keane has been 1st choice striker since the middle part of the season, but sometimes he was rested for difficult games. he will win the EPL league title and FA/UEFA cup trophies for spurs next season. :D

Re: Tottenham Hotspur - the Pride of London
 

but my favourite is still ossie ardilles time as manager... that was attacking with reckless abandon at its best!!!

as for the team now, check the table and see the number under goals against and u will see spurs' problem...:D will expect much more for spurs next season...

huh??? he joining another team meh???:rolleyes:

Re: Tottenham Hotspur - the Pride of London
 

Ossie was good but to regularly lose games 3-2, 4-3 was frustrating to say the least. Shld have kept carrick and i have strong doubts if spurs can refuse a great offer for berbatov. Being a jewish club, profits are usually high on their agenda which is sad.

Re: Tottenham Hotspur - the Pride of London
 

but for the neutral fan, 4-4 was a damn good match to watch... but also remembered them losing 4-0 when they failed to score... which was why during ossie's time, the back 4 of spurs was termed the 4 queens, which i suspect did include sol campbell...:D

hope they keep on to berbatov and not think of profits so much cos spurs can really give the big 4 a run of their money... cheers;)

Re: Tottenham Hotspur - the Pride of London
 

Don't think judas was first choice defender then during Ossie's time, maybe subs only. At that time the defence was marshall by our fa cup winner captain Gary Mabbutt.

Re: Tottenham Hotspur - the Pride of London
 

Spurs retain their traditional style of football despite having a foreign coach in Jol. Great to see your club didnt sell its soul.

Bro, you have forgotten to add the Carling Cup or left it out intentionally for the other clubs to fight it out? :D

Re: Tottenham Hotspur - the Pride of London
 

no worry, next season robbie keane will score 50 goals in the EPL alone. he's hot! :D

Re: Tottenham Hotspur - the Pride of London
 

carling cup is not easy to win becos of chelski... :D

Re: Tottenham Hotspur - the Pride of London
 

Dude..you're not gay are you? :D

During Ossie's tenure, the first choice CBs were Collin Calderwood, Ciga Popescu and Mabbut (although Ciga was prefered as a holding midfilder). Mabbut retired in 1997/98. But during 94/95 season, was his last season as a regular. During that season, we also had the likes of Sol, Kerslake, Nethercortt (the latter two proved to be utter crap! LOL) as our substitute CB. Injuries played a part in his retirement in 97/98 aged 36. Historically, Sol was a striker before Ossie transformed him into a CB.

And what about our new kit. Next season, we will wear all white to mark our 125th year as a club. Its a one season thing, just like when ARSEnal wore that dreaded marroon last season. We also have the half white/ half sky blue. This is the special edition kit to comemerate the anniversary. We wore this kit in 1884-87. Look forward to next season!

Re: Tottenham Hotspur - the Pride of London
 

only happens on the XBOX lah, bro... u r like me leh... like to mix fantasy with reality...:D

nope, he is not gay... he is bi!;)

better luck next season, ya? but why is jol still looking at attacking players when it is the defence that needs looking at??? ledley king is too injury proned to be relied on to last the season... just my personal opinion. cheers.

Re: Tottenham Hotspur - the Pride of London
 

They have not found a suitable replacement for carrick which is not easy as they got him cheap from a lower league and was a real 'find' that dont come often. Personally, i feel they need to replace lee who is too lightweight, a holding midfielder and a striker with better finishing ratio.

Re: Tottenham Hotspur - the Pride of London
 

i am not sure anymore... :D

Re: Tottenham Hotspur - the Pride of London
 

when can pride of london team finish top 3 spot leh..........:rolleyes: maybe dun talk abt top 3 , how abt finish above gunners....haiz....pride of london

125 Years of Tottenham Hotspur

Re: Tottenham Hotspur - the Pride of London
 

True enuff man. But if u ask me, I think Jol wants depth in all departments. Yes, King is injury prone, but we have able squad players to replace him. Rocha is good, just need time to adept, while Gardner is doing well of late. If we were to sign a centre half, I reckon we should sign a seasoned campaigner...someone who could marshall and have loads of experience. We used to have Mabbut who guided Sol, we had Naybet who mend and moulded Ledley King. So we need some who could do that job for Dawson.

Plus I dun think the defence is at fault most of the time. I reckon Jol should work on the link between the defenders and Midfielders as most of our fault comes from there...just look at how many goals we let in from outside the box...

I think we dont need a replacement for Carrick. We have too many defenssive minded midfielders...Tainio has done a decent job, Zokora is reliable as ever, and Hudds have brilliant vision and passing ability, despite his lack of pace. As for Lee, I think he is a good player. He has showed the desire this season and is very good getting forward. But he needs to work on his defending. And I think if Jol wants to sign a LB (Baines/Bridge/Bale), Lee should be pushing for a regular spot. He would make a good squad player. We need depth rather than getting a few million pounds.

Haha..at least u mentioned Keane is hot rather than "Crouch is Hot"..I would label u as bad taste then liao...hehe

Re: Tottenham Hotspur - the Pride of London
 

superb! ricardo villa, gazza, hoddle, archibald... you were all there! :D

Re: Tottenham Hotspur - the Pride of London
 

wayne bridge is the best left back in EPL this season if i may say so. totally under-rated and should have a better career with spurs if he joins. cashley cole is always falling down or whining to the referee. :D

Re: Tottenham Hotspur - the Pride of London
 

Ya all the past great players and see my nick you will know how i started to love Tottenham. :D

Here's our future legend.

Re: Tottenham Hotspur - the Pride of London
 

awesome!!! thanks, although i m not strictly a spurs fan... just a fan of attacking football...:D

someone with experience to guide the young defenders? sol is available!!! hahaha... just kidding... no offence.

spurs have quite a few young players who r very good, particularly king and huddlestone. think the problem here is for spurs to stop selling!!! give them some time to play together, get a couple of good players per season and voila, a team certainly capable of challenging for honours.;)

i totally agree that bridge is a much better choice than cashley cole cos cole has developed weak legs and a CB mouth to boot. is he always like that or just that fake marriage has made him so??? always see him complaining to the ref like a whore would to her OKT... really wished to tell him, "shut the f**k up and get on with the game already!!!"

Re: Tottenham Hotspur - the Pride of London
 

We are perhaps not a big 4 club yet, but in terms of financial stability, we ARE in the top 3! Thats why we had Juventus' 25million bid for Berbatov rejected. And Jol has said that, "...we are a rich club, and rich clubs don't sell their players...unless if he wants to..." So thats assuarance for u. In Carrick's case, he wanted to leave. So be it. We fared ok this season. Look out for us in 2007/08!

Re: Tottenham Hotspur - the Pride of London
 

berbatov for 25mil pounds??? even i wouldnt sell!!! take it 1 step at a time... u guys r consistent enough to beat the lower teams on a regular basis, in fact, more regular than the team i support...:( but to climb up, spurs need to start beating the bigger teams, which i feel i have seen it this season. so, all the best for next season. cheers...;)

Re: Tottenham Hotspur - the Pride of London
 

wow even mighty juve want something from spurs. can they sell del piero, c.zanetti, nedved and buffon to spurs too?

berbatov is earning 45k a week now, doubled recently so used to be 20+k only. those on 120k 0r 130k ought to be hanged if they have to be injured every now and then. :D

Re: Tottenham Hotspur - the Pride of London
 

sorry, i meant yet to have seen spurs beating the bigger teams on a regular basis...:o

u sure u want spurs to have those juve players??? hmm... well, with the exception of buffon...

berbatov was previously on 22k/week... but i m sure he would get much more if he does something about his hairstyle!!!:D

Re: Tottenham Hotspur - the Pride of London
 

spurs held their own against arsenal in recent years, then beat chelsea 2-1 in WHL this season (after donkey years of getting thrashed by them). now they have to try to do well against man utd and liverpool next, in order to be up there with the big boys.

those juve players are still good and full of experience, havent seen them play for the entire season due to serie B, not that we get to watch serie A a lot though, thanks to our starhub scv.

i think berbatov should dye his hair white to commemorate 125 years of tottenham. :D
