The Man’s Clearly A Fool…

Hello.

I used to work in the rag trade about 100 years ago. We used to get these occasional calls from Gerry. The head honcho. Le Grande Fromage.  ‘You know Harry, it gives me no pleasure to make these calls.’

You know the drill…  your heart sank as you knew he had taken seriously some idiot so empowered by their own sense of self importance that they had punctured the cognisance of a man who was simply, probably – naively-  trying to do the right thing.

That’s how I’ve felt for some time now. I’m Gerry making one of those calls. The difference being that this call isn’t representing a complaint from some random mardy arse. I’ve watched the same games as have you. I know that the complaint is valid. And that something urgently needs to be done.

Jol was lovable but a bit naive. This guy Arry is an unlovable tactical car crash on roller skates.

Or are you down wid a Norwich win at The Lane, bruv…

Our  squad is essentially fab, I genuinely believe that. It simply needs the right guidance. Or managing, as we called it in the old money  :daumen:

Ooh my days…

    St Totteringhams Day is on the way, in about a fortnight I think.
    At this rate you won’t even have to retune your tellys for Channel 5.
    Every year we hear the same old story. When will you learn. There’s 38 games in a season.

      Looks like out trophy cabinet will be as empty as yours. Unless we win the FA cup. Whereas you will be winning just FA.

    • onedavemackay says:

      You are entirely right but we’ll never learn as we are dreamy optimists

    • F*ckedOff.com says:

      The gooner is right, we have fucked ourselves up our own arses. 12 points clear and now potentially finishing 6th. Embarrassing isn’t the word.
      Fuck off Harry and fuck the players who have picked up their wages for nothing once again. Modric can lesbian-off the so called ‘World Class’ rat faced useless weak prick.
      I hate everyone

      • ped says:

        boy!!! you are pissed…
        don’t worry ‘cos there’s a few more games to go & i still have a funny feeling that we might just be celebrating yet… don’t write us off just yet.

      • goonerdave says:

        Unfortunately, you need to forget about trying to become as big as arsenal, ur too far behind….in our worst season for years, you still cant catch us, be content in being a small club that spends a lot of money, and look forward to winning things within your reach, like the FA Cup, if you win that, you would have won more than we have in the last 7 years, thats a result for the spuds

        • F*ckedOff.com says:

          We’ve already won more than you in the last 7 years silly bolocks. Thanks to the mighty Birmingham City.
          Big Club though Arsenal…really want to be that great….massive

        • LLL says:

          What is all this crap about this being Arsenal’s ‘worst ever season’? Forgive me for asking, but haven’t Arsenal finished top 4 and won fook all for a generation now? So what makes this season any different?

          If you’re going to come here gloating and trolling, at least put a bit of thought into it. As for winning more in 7 years, as has been pointed, that’s mission already accomplished.

          Better drugs

    • ped says:

      your time is coming gooner….
      VP off in the summer & your arrogant tosser of a frog manager will go even greyer as yet again you’ll win nothing next season..

      • goonerdave says:

        hahahahaha, vp is going nowhere, he’s at the 5th biggest club in the world, you are such a toby……..just accept you will never catch us and are just a small london club, no bigger really that ctystal palce and fulham. It sooooo frustrating being a spud

    • F. lampost says:

      Your season suddenly started when the fucker Kronke arrived from America with a shed full of tempo from his other franchise.

  • onedavemackay says:

    The one sentence I hate most in the world is : “OK Hotspur, looks like you were right.” But he is

    I now feel I have been misled by my natural optimism. We have been unlucky in some games but sooner or later the truth will out and today’s match demonstrated the plain fact that the real luck has up until recently been all Harry’s. I defy anyone to prove to me any of these three statements are wrong.

    1. We are at our best playing 4-5-1 with Bale and Lennon wide

    2. We are half a team without the boy Parker

    3. We seldom win when JD starts

    Yet Harry ignored all three today.

    However, I can’t see Danny boy sacking the new England supremo so we could have a miserable few weeks.

    Unless of course we win the cup and with Harry’s luck that still remains a distinct possibility

    • Jim says:

      1. Exactly, so why 4-4-2? Wembley’s in H’s focus, not CL cos’ Harry knows he’ll not be at Spurs next year. He wants to go out with a bang. He does not care for the club, never has. All the talk about the good old days, loyalty etc etc, and he shows none of it: total self-interest, total hypocrite.

      2. Exactly, so where’s Sandro today? You can’t swap out four key defensive hard-workers (Sandro, Parker, Gallas, Kaboul)and expect to beat a running passing team of hungry young-‘uns like Norwich. Was Sandro even on the bench? Was Gallas? Parker wasn’t.

      3. Exactly, so if VDV and Ade are tired, play them only for the first half, get the lead and then bring on Azza and Defoe when Norwich tire in the second. Lots of speed, get in behind Norwich chasing the game and run out 4-1 winners.

      If we see this, why doesn’t Harry? Simples: he’s not looking ‘cos he doesn’t care. Spurs have got him where he wants to go, a multi-million pound sinecure with Engerland to see him into retirement with the dogs and the missus on the beach at Bournemouth.

      • onedavemackay says:

        I think he does care but he’s just not as clever as some of us thought and we do not have a great squad we have a great first 11

    • Harry Hotspur says:

      I hope we win the Cup. At this rate we’ll lose 4-0 to Cheatski.

    • Eyeball Paul says:

      ODM, there is no point is sacking the gom now, the horse has bolted, its game over. Let the FA do what they want in the summer, coz Harry should have his P45 handed to him on the last day of the season after the Fulham match.

      His faith in Modric is stinking – the bloke can pass a ball, has he ever grabbed a game by the scruff and dragged us through to a win – he is another prima donna. Levy, take 40 mil on offer next year for him, and be done with him.

      Only Bale today bursted a gut, and only he seems to care.

      Defoe had one chance and scored. He is a class player, Harry never gave him a fair crack of the whip. VDV did F*cK all again – he is simply a dutch Robbie Keane. Why Sandro didn’t play is beyond me.

      The performance today stank to high heaven – the Spurs lads thought they only had to show up today for a cake walk. That was obviously instilled in the players before the game – and only a clown could treat such an important game with such contempt.

      Harry Out.

    • Chrispurs says:

      If we had just, stuck to the basics. Clear the f***ing ball, when it’s in the area, don’t try a short pass. Then the first goal, would’ve been avoided, stay in your positions Bale left, Lennon right, and put crosses in early; we would’ve got a couple of goals at least. Last a message for the boy Bale; Spurs are not here for your ‘development,’you are here to win games for Spurs!

  • Frontwheel 2 says:

    I think today’s performance was the final straw,most of the people who still had faith in Arry have jumped ship and that says a lot as they were strong in their views.
    A calm sense of no expectation has settled in my nut,its easier than feeling shafted week in week out.
    Even if we manage to get 4th it will be despite Arry.What a waste.Some serious decisions have to be made,the great King needs to be retired and all of Arry’s ego buys need to be shown the door,money has to be spent wisely instead of players at the end of their careers looking for a final big payday

    • F. lampost says:

      Frontwheel City spent 300 million Fergie newt who is going to pick up the league. They have done this with 38 eight year olds and bad back Ferdinand. Two things are wrong with Football refs and assistants are not paid enough and and both captains should ave two referrals and the ref one to stop corruption and fear of Ferguson and the Russian Money. Secondly teams should be tested before and after game s till work rate drugs are stopped like Stokes Pulis complained his team and not City when they won the cup. Then i could join in and say he was crap Harry got it wrong 4411 is better 442 is to open instead i say how come some teams still win with smaller squads at grounds we can win and we have players loaned out to them. Everton 1-0 Caulker 1-1 Norwich 2-1 its we are all bloody hurting but if you could see what i can see you wouldn’t pay to watch another game till ist cleaned up like athletics its dirtier than Rugby League Union Athletics and Cycling because Contrador would be let of in Football for contaminated food like the five under 20 Mexicans where for the same drug he has got a 2 year ban for. Lets look at Footballs bans two under 18 players named 3 and 5 months for a drug Rugby league player got 2 year ban aged 21 named and shamed. Hamilton player got of reason internet said there was no banned substance in it three south African Rugby players let of same drug contaminated food. Cadamateri ex Everton Ephedrine six months Paddy Kenny Ephedrine 8 months two Russian players in the champs league beating Utd at home 3-1 ended 3-3 work rate was staggering both Ephedrine blamed colds sudafed banned two games champs league and fined 6,000 with the draw Utd finished top group Mutu banned twice Ephedrine reason weight problem Italy also banned at Chelsea Barnet player slimming drug don’t no ban Toure 8 months missed five games the 25 who failed for Cocaine are kept secret. So this is on top of me discovering a whole team using supplements thst increase work rate towforld but can kill and make you gaunt looking next time you see a team running after the ball take a good look at there sunken faces and you will be amazed who they are and there teams are flying in front and behind us. Just another spin why we cant win.

    Sorry to cut and paste but a rant on the end of what turned out to be a previous comments page just didn’t cut it. I thought I was too long in the tooth to get properly peedoff at Tottenham flatface Hotspuds. Turns out I’m not.

    I’m so sick of camouflaging disappointment with irony, it’s our fcuking default position. I’m sick to the back teeth with conjuring up a carefree shrug of the sodding shoulders when meeting goons at work and affecting a totally disingenuous ‘oh well that’s Tottenham’ attitude when I really want to throw a cup through a window.

    We dominated swansea by getting at them the whole match. Why can’t these players do it week after week? What is actually stopping them? What do the manure players have that ours don’t We looked at times as if some of our players weren’t even trying; they weren’t tracking back or closing down, why not? Were they told not to? Are they tired? Did they forget?

    Maybe norwich are tactical geniuses but I can’t see it.

    Calm……………calm…………..

    • daytripper11 says:

      We got at Swansea the whole match? Seriously?

      Perhaps you are talking about the match Everton played against them the previous week and not our match? After watching Everton work relentlessly to smother Swansea, I was extremely disappointed with our work ethic against them. It was a night and day difference in effort from Everton to us.

      Which is evidenced by the 59-41 possession advantage for Swansea.

      At the end of the previous thread, I railed at how our tactics are not any part of our problem. The lack of confidence is only a small portion. 99% of the problem is the complete lack of work ethic, desire and heart by this squad.

      …which is something a lame duck manager has no ability to sway and is why Harry MUST resign.

      • F. lampost says:

        You have the work rate right mate but the wrong words i will spell it out and this comes from Ukad. There is ephedrine present in samples and its rife we cant catch them because they are under the radar and running the drugs off . This was told to me by a tester four seasons ago. I cant tell you how i found out a top four team one of the cartel used this to increase there work rate because someone i no used it to help is Rugby team and watching them turn from a joke to a finely tuned unit tackling machine shocked me because i had never heard of it before. When he told me where he had got them from it staggered me especially when my daughter told me they use to be slimmers and are now banned, So for the next few seasons i watched this team and studied how they played and what tell tale signs appeared during there season. I also studied what it can do Heart attacks strokes with blood overheating through running beyond there endurance massive weight loss and in some cases illness and whole organs failing this is why some teams can rotate and not miss stars. This is not somthing made up i could have made money by telling who was dishing this out who the team was but i would not because we all love our teams and the manager of this club had no idea like a lot of them. I have been asked if Tottenham have used it well if we have we don’t play like the teams i no are using what i call Tut to up tempo and if we did then our defense would be outstanding from one to eleven. Also its not Harry and you have to have the medical staff who don’t give a fuck about health but keeping there jobs by staying in the premiership . Remeber this Pienaar was not the player when he left Evertonhe is now Everton are flying Palacios was 12 million when he left Wigan he is now on Stokes benchi forcast both players would slow at Spurs i was right. You dont have to believe me but don’t let Arsoles rib you because there fortunes have changed since one of these players i no was taking tut starred against us in a position he had never played before. This is why i said shit when we went 2-0 up i knew what was coming after half time even booed Wallcot shone. So be proud because if i though class had wiped our ten point lead out i would be calling Harry a dozy bastard too. But all he is guilty of is saying the wrong things.

          over-long paragraphs = hard to read = probably not read by many = why not break into a number of smaller paragraphs that folk will read, and which will make your undoubted composition worth the effort? Just saying…

  • david says:

    Just remembered TMWNN said he was at the game today. It’s all his fault!

    • DAVSPURS says:

      I may not have your intellect and its easy to dismiss my claims but there’s never a truer word said. This is the evidence Paddy Kenny goalkeeper Epherdine Kolo Toure waistline and masking agents. All since i started my rant players ill looking and gaunt. The last evidence is a secret because some of my family support them and we could be playing them at Wembley
