I dun mean to blame Bale, but I am highlighting a fact that when he play for Spurs in a Premiership match, Spurs seldom win. It is just his luck that he does not feature in winning games. Moreover, he came in after half time and he looked lost defensively, sad to say but it's the truth. Bassong is also lost during this game because both goals came on his side of centreback.:( COMON YOU SPURS!!! |
Re: Tottenham Hotspur - the Pride of London
The latest news regarding Luka Modric from Spurs:
Tottenhamhotspur.com - News Articles - Luka's back! Great News!!! With Man City and Blackburn games next week, we really need him to be back at full fitness to cause problem to opposing defence. Lennon, Kranjcar and Modric. What a combination!!! COMON YOU LUKA!!!:D COMON YOU SPURS!!!:D |

Hope you understand the situation of a football manager: 1) Spurs is building a new stadium, which means Harry has not much $$$; 2) He has to buy quality and cheap players, and with his current squad he has talent and he must know how to make full use of it; 3) With the World Cup coming up in 2010, he needs to make sure those going to the World Cup Finals are playing regularly so that the player/s get/s the chance to be picked for the World Cup. And if they played well enough in WC2010, he can fetch a better price for them when the time is up; 4) Defoe shouldn't missed, but it is all over and done with, it is important that he pick it up from there and move on. Afterall, he is the top scorer in the Premiership now; 5) Crouch did very well in the Everton game, except scoring, which he needs a lot of shooting practise. Moreover, he isn't the only one who is wasteful, Defoe wasted a couple of chances too besides the penalty. In the Everton game, Crouchie was directing his header down for Defoe and the wings, which is what I have been highlighting since we bought him. Harry is trying to make Crouch the Heskey type of player, but I think Crouch has to be more deadly and productive than Heskey. He is moving in the right direction at the moment except for his pairs of scoring boots; and 6) Keane is also quite wasteful in terms of scoring deadliness. If I am Harry, I would like to put him up for FA Cup as we are effectively a 3 strikers team, given Pavy's impatience on the bench. However, Pavy forgets that he has to improve to fight against Crouch instead of crouching and whining against Harry. I hope Pavy can improve on his directing of headers, he is great with his feet but not too much to say about his head. Crouch has his weakness too, he is not stout enough as Pavy, which Pavy did not let it play to his advantage. I do not wish to see him go, but he has WC2010 on his mind only, which also means $$$.:( I still think we have too many unfit defenders. Sol Campbell can be a very cheap choice for Harry as Woody and King is very unstable in terms of fitness and with the season going into oven stage during this festive period, we seriously needed backup.

ok its easy 3 pts with the boys who are still crying wolf coming up at the lane tonight at 11pm ch22 while the RVD saga continues... http://172.31.254.244/soccernet-asse...r/ruudvn_g.jpg Harry Redknapp insists he has no plans to bring Ruud van Nistelrooy to Tottenham - and believes the Real Madrid striker could still join Arsenal. Van Nistelrooy, 33, has proved a success in Madrid since joining from Manchester United in 2006, but he appears to have fallen down the pecking order at the club and could be set to move on in January in search of first-team football. Redknapp says he will not sign Van Nistelrooy as, with Peter Crouch, Robbie Keane, Jermain Defoe and Roman Pavlyuchenko already in the squad, he does not need an additional forward. Nonetheless, many believe Van Nistelrooy could return to the Premier League and, although Arsene Wenger has said he does not intend to sign him, Redknapp feels it would not be a surprise to see him at Emirates Stadium. "He's a top player," he said. "If he's anywhere near fit, I'm sure he can still play for a while, but I've never enquired for him. He would come over here and score - he always has done. "I can see him going somewhere like Arsenal. Tottenham is a big club. We shouldn't be afraid to compete with these clubs in the transfer market, but what would I do? I have Crouch, Keane and Defoe and Pav. If I got Van Nistelrooy, I give myself another problem." |

Re: Tottenham Hotspur - the Pride of London
Hi SPURS BROs,
Do U think we should SELL KEANE ???....There's some reported interest in him !!!.... If HARRY need to SELL,he definitely should sell BENTLEY & PAYLACHENKO....and maybe BALE too !!! ( sorry but i really think BALE maybe JINX to our SPURS !!!...Every time he play,we lose !!! :( ).... It's a tough call but we may need to also "retired" both WOODGATE & KING due to their injuries !!!... Hope to hear your comments soon !!! Come On U SPURS !!! Andyk |
Re: Tottenham Hotspur - the Pride of London
If I am Harry, I would do the following:
Confirm Sell List 1) Bentley (it is time for him to move on, maybe a swap for Jonás Gutiérrez makes the move looked even more impressive); 2) Pavlyuchenko (a swap for Aruna Dindane or Marlon Harewood is possible); Maybe Sell List 3) Bale (Wayne Bridge is a good left sided player); 4) Keane (Keane is out of form after coming back from Liverpool and if all Bros remembered, it's Keane who wanted to be at Liverpool. Maybe sell him to Liverpool again or swap for Bellamy is a possibility or Sylvan Ebanks-Blake from Wolves is good); 5) Alan Hutton (Sell Hutton and buy Micah Richards, versatile in many positions especially with so many of our centrebacks prone to injury) Bring back Jamie O' Hara. We need left-sided players. COMON YOU SPURS!!! |
Re: Tottenham Hotspur - the Pride of London
0 - 0 in fortress fulham
robbie keane really cho bo lan, nothing has gone right for him ever since he answered benitez's phone call... :( http://172.31.254.241/soccernet-asse...26_500x281.jpg Aaron Hughes, John Pantsil and Peter Crouch battle for possession at Craven Cottage. Tottenham escaped Craven Cottage with a 0-0 draw after Fulham failed to capitalise on their superiority in their Premier League clash. Spurs had Heurelho Gomes to thank for keeping them in contention with the Brazilian keeper making a string of fine saves. In the second half alone, he kept out goalbound efforts from Clint Dempsey and Bobby Zamora, while Damien Duff and Zoltan Gera also went close. Spurs manager Harry Redknapp opted to start club captain Robbie Keane - who has recently been playing second fiddle to Jermain Defoe - alongside Crouch in attack. The move backfired as Keane was totally ineffective, though he was hardly helped by the mediocrity around him as Spurs - who host West Ham on Monday - struggled to make any impression. |
Re: Tottenham Hotspur - the Pride of London
Bros,
We managed to keep our 4th clean sheet with 3 Wins and 1 Draw (10 points out of possible 12). Great effort and result!!! 3 more points and we are at the safety 40 points mark with 18 games to go. Here's the match report for Spurs 2 West Ham 0: Report: Tottenham Hotspur vs West Ham United - English Premier League - ESPN Soccernet Let's concentrate on the Pros and Cons of the West Ham match. For me: Pros 1) We played with authority and confidence; 2) Lennon looked like a dynamite ready to explode anytime; 3) Modric looked very at ease with his first full game and his contribution, to me, is almost what Fabregas did for Arsenal in the Villa game; 4) Huddlestone is on fire; 5) Palacios is sharp and very dynamic; 6) Dawson + King masterfully stopped West Ham to a couple of shots on target; 7) Corluka + Assou-Ekotto were everywhere and anywhere when you needed them; 8) Crouch was hardworking and Defoe was equally hardworking (on and off) too; and 9) Gomes has matured and grown in confidence. He make comfortable saves and cut-off crosses effectively; 10) Overall, a great team effort!!! Cons 1) Still there are signs of lapses as usual with any Spurs side. This is one department where it is hard to change; 2) We are wasteful in front of goal, sharper shooting should make the win more impressive as Robert Green looked to have a off-day. Of course we must still remember that yesterday's West Ham side was depleted with injuries and we should have a more comfortable win. However, given the great team effort to cover one another, I guess we can take this win happily. Just hope that we can play like that against any other side in the Premiership, be it Man U, Chelsea, Arsenal, Liverpool or anyone else. Congrats to Harry for getting right again.;) COMON YOU SPURS!!!:D |
Re: Tottenham Hotspur - the Pride of London
This Saturday, we will face Peterborough United in the FA Cup.
I hope we can win the FA Cup this year. This is one Cup which we used to dominate until the lost against Coventry. Our success rate for FA Cup Final, to me, is the most impressive. I hope the players win the FA Cup for the fans after so many years of being trophyless. COMON YOU SPURS!!! |
Re: Tottenham Hotspur - the Pride of London
Back to the Premiership on 10 Jan 10 with a match at Anfield with Liverpool.
Liverpool will be looking to revenge against us for the defeat of the first game. On the other hand, we need to make a statement by winning this game to underline our ability to claim top 4. Liverpool, is the only "Top 4" team that we have defeated so far. In order to stake a claim of our ability and intention as well as boosting the players belief, we must do well in this game. Then, in our future games with Chelsea, Man U, Arsenal, Liverpool, Man City, Aston Villa and Everton, we do not play for draw. We will then have the confidence to play for win against these contenders. Hope that Harry and the players can come up with something. Statistically, basing on 2005/06 season, we are 5th with 65 points. In 2005/06, Arsenal finished 4th with 67 point. We are, presently, 37 points from 20 games, which is 30 points short of 2005/06 Arsenal team with only 18 games to be played. To secure 4th position, we need 30 points in 18 games means 1.67 points per game, which turn out to be either: a) at least 10 wins, no draws and 8 losses from the remaining 18 games; b) at least 6 wins, 12 draws and no loss from the remaining 18 games; and/or c) at least 7 wins and 9 draws and 2 losses from the remaining 18 games. I will try to put up my prediction for the remaining 18 games in the next post. Hopefully, other Bros can contribute too.:o COMON YOU SPURS!!!:D |
Re: Tottenham Hotspur - the Pride of London
Hi all Bros,
Here's my 2 cents worth of prediction (in Brackets): 1) 10 Jan - Away - Liverpool (Draw) 2) 16 Jan - Home - Hull (Win) 3) 26 Jan - Home - Fulham (Draw) 4) 30 Jan - Away - Birmingham (Draw) 5) 06 Feb - Home - Aston Villa (Win) 6) 10 Feb - Away - Wolves (Win) 7) 21 Feb - Away - Wigan (Draw) 8) 27 Feb - Home - Everton (Win) 9) 07 Mar - Away - Man City (Draw) 10) 13 Mar - Home - Blackburn (Draw) 11) 20 Mar - Away - Stoke (Draw) 12) 27 Mar - Home - Portsmouth (Draw) 13) 03 Apr - Away - Sunderland (Draw) 14) 10 Apr - Home - Arsenal (Loss) 15) 17 Apr - Home - Chelsea (Draw) 16) 24 Apr - Away - Man U (Loss) 17) 01 May - Home - Bolton (Win) 18) 09 May - Away - Burnley (Win) Overall, 28 points (6 Wins, 10 Draws and 2 Losses), which may not be enough. You may realised that some games I have marked the opponents with Bold and Underline. That is because I feel these games are exceptionally crucial and if Spurs at least better than or equal the result I predicted, Spurs will be in a position to claim 4th position. Just my 2 cents worth. Hope other Spurs supporters can contribute as well.:D COMON YOU SPURS!!!:D |
Re: Tottenham Hotspur - the Pride of London
Hi SPURSLOVER !
I vote U the No.1 SPURS FAN for 2009 for your solid postings here !!!....:D Last nite i was really happy when DEFOE scored the 2nd goal because WEST HAM almost equalised in the last 10mins...We may have a set of Top Strikers but they really not sharp enough vs those from MAN U & CHELSEA !!!.... But yesterday's game was at WHL so our SPURS players was really full of confidence in their passing game !!!...And we were also lucky that WEST HAM was a "weakened" team !!!.... Personally i felt HARRY lack good tactics especially team selection & timing for substitution...he could have replaced MODRIC earlier with KRANJAR...as he's playing very well recently !.... Anyway i'm most happy whenever we play well & win our games !!!...But i'll eagerly waiting for HARRY's wheeling & dealing next month... Come ON U SPURS !!! Andyk :) |

Re: Tottenham Hotspur - the Pride of London
Below is the Aston Villa vs Liverpool report:
Report: Aston Villa vs Liverpool - English Premier League - ESPN Soccernet I was really hoping for a draw because as in the match report, it is clearly stated that Liverpool is now within 3 points of Spurs. A draw between Villa and Liverpool would be the best result for Spurs as it will reduce the pressure on the Spurs players next week when facing Liverpool, with Man City and Villa also breathing down our neck. However, this is the Premiership Man!!! No match is easy and every match played by every team will have an effect on other teams. Hence, it is the most important that Spurs' players must be able to conquer themselves and play above themselves whenever needed. COMON YOU SPURS!!!:D |

James has been linked with a possible move to White Hart Lane to reunite with his former manager at Portsmouth, Harry Redknapp, even though Heurelho Gomes has impressed for the London club of late. Recent weeks have been frustrating for James as he has struggled with fitness problems and seen Portsmouth remain at the bottom of the Premier League table. And with his status as England's number one under threat, James would clearly relish the chance to join Tottenham as they push for a European place. Quote:

Re: Tottenham Hotspur - the Pride of London
There is far too much FA Cup tradition at White Hart Lane for anyone to take the old competition anything but seriously, and Tottenham manager Harry Redknapp got the club's 2010 challenge rolling when he sent out his strongest possible side to steamroller Championship strugglers Peterborough.
Two goals from Niko Kranjcar, the inevitable strike from Jermain Defoe and a late, late penalty from Robbie Keane were the vital statistics in a one-sided cup tie. But it was the businesslike way Spurs went about their work that suggested that a ninth FA cup triumph is in their sights this season, even if they do also have the little matter of trying to finish in the top four in the Premier League. They say sport is all about what is in the mind and the man in charge of the White Hart Lane big screen did his bit for the cause when he played the video of Tottenham's recent 9-1 victory against Wigan as the Peterborough players ran out for their warm-up. Psychological blows do not come much heavier than that. http://172.31.254.244/soccernet-asse...02_500x281.jpg Niko Kranjcar grabbed two goals as Tottenham cruised to a 4-0 win over Peterborough. |

Re: Tottenham Hotspur - the Pride of London
No prize for those who guessed who is our FA Cup next round opponents. Below are the 4th round FA Cup Draw:
Fourth round draw in full... Southampton v Ipswich Reading/Liverpool v Burnley Millwall/Derby v Brentford/Doncaster Bristol City/Cardiff v Leicester Stoke v Arsenal Notts County/Forest Green v Wigan Scunthorpe v Manchester City West Brom v Plymouth/Newcastle Everton v Forest/Birmingham Accrington Stanley/Gillingham v Fulham Bolton v Sheffield United/QPR Pompey/Coventry v Sunderland Preston v Chelsea Villa v Brighton Tranmere/Wolves v Palace TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR v Leeds United WA!!! If Leeds did not defeat Man U, we will face Man U again. Thank you Leeds. However, we must take this game seriously as anyone who can defeat Man U is not easy meat. With Arsenal, Chelsea, Man City, Everton, Villa confirmed in the 4th round. Spurs has to prove their worth in this competition again with work cut out for them. Btw, side-track abit. Bro Andyk, As you are asking about January transfer move by Spurs, I think Leeds striker Beckford is a gem in making with his productivity, attitude and sharpness. He is definitely a good replacement for Pavy. Moreover, if we bought him over in January, Leeds will be without him already when they played against us in the FA Cup 4th round tie. Just my 2 cents worth.:D With Posh out of our FA Cup way, Let us concentrate on the important Anfield game this weekend. Liverpool got more to worry than when they started the season, I hope Harry noticed and able to take advantage of this. We have good recent record against them, hopefully, we can do more this time. Remember Man City, Villa and Liverpool are breathing down our necks, beating Liverpool will help to ease pressure on ourselves as well as making a statement on our determination to finish top 4 this season. It will also boost the confidence level by another notch. Harry, I hope you can your magic again like last season by elevating the players towards another level in important games like this.;) COMON YOU SPURS!!! |
Re: Tottenham Hotspur - the Pride of London
Something from Spurs' official website regarding this weekend's match against Liverpool.
Tottenhamhotspur.com - News Articles - Seb set for Torres test Hopefully, we are well prepared as we travel to an injured (mentally) Liverpool. "An injured animal is at it's most dangerous". Liverpool is at the most promising position to claim back the top 4 position with this game. It is our most important game as it is: 1) A testimony to the ability of our state to a claim of challenging the top 4; and 2) A test to our recent form and improvement in terms of the unity, character and mental strength of the team. Hopefully, we can pass this test. COMON YOU SPURS!!! |
Re: Tottenham Hotspur - the Pride of London
