Wotcha.
I keep reading comments from awfully well meaning types this morning saying that at the beginning of the season they would have taken fourth.
Wow. How noble. But more to the point, what a really odd thing to say.
In isolation, finishing fourth is a good thing – no; an excellent thing. Champions League football and peck on the cheek from the Prom Queen. So what if another team outside the top four wins the Champions League and nudges us out? What are the odds?! You can’t legislate for crazy, madcap things like that happening. Can you?
Well you can.
Because this finish wasn’t in isolation to anything. To assert otherwise is insane. Not optimistic, not naive but just common or garden bonkers.
Given that Spurs weren’t struck down with any season wrecking injuries or suddenly faced teams that revolutionised football the flushing of the 10+ point advantage is why we’re all now nervously making pro Bayern noises.
Some of you can’t cope with the reality of the situation. You’re the same lemmings that haven’t noticed that since he’s run out of exit doors that Arry has started calling us, ‘us’ again and not referring to us in the third person.
What happened to this Club this season is nothing shy of scandalous.
And now we have the rogue playing the health card as many do when they’ve run of legitimate reasons why people should bother paying them any attention. He’s saying he might not got to the Euros with the BBC because of his trials and tribulations. Ooh my heart, ooh me tax case. Ooh naff off you chancer.
“I want Bayern to beat Chelsea, whether Frank plays or not.
“He knows there’s no love lost. My allegiance is Tottenham only. I want Tottenham in the Champions League next year.
Err…
“I’ll be rooting for Chelsea I want to see an English team win it anyway and I think they can do it.”

“If people get carried away with what Tottenham should achieve, they need a reality check.”
Arry, the only reality check people want is the THFC Board to replace you with one of those orange Keepon things off the EDF advert …or something equally competent.
These seem to be selling quite quickly:

Bloody hell Unk, I thought my fakinel tee was a short term wonder! I hope they are printing them off one by one :freu
I’m going to buy one of those Fakinel tee shirts. I’m just saving for one.
I would like, Redknapp to tell us BEFORE the season starts, what would be denoted as a, ‘fantastic,’ season. Not at the end of the season, indulging in self preservation, of his job, and reputation.Harry doesn’t care about the club and will ‘jump-ship,’ as soon as a another offer comes in. I don’t want to hear that: ‘that’s as far as they can go,’ or, ‘they are stupid to expect more.’ I want Harry Redknapp, to go forth and multiply; but not in the biblical sense.
But don’t you recall he actually does that several times during a season? Earlier in the season he was talking up the title. Then that went and he said we were going to finish 3rd. Then that’s gone and 4th is fantastic. He did more or less the same thing last season and then said 5th was as good as it gets. The one thing about Harry is that he’s consistently talking inconsistent bollocks, whatever the weather.
OK I agree we should be doing better than 4th.
So the plan is to take the £30m from last CL and add it to the £30m for next season and add £40m we have not spent so that is £100m budget for a new manager to spend on a title challenge.
Are you with me?
Or did you just want to slate Redknapp with no plan of how to do better?
Redknapp is NOT a Spurs man and i’m pretty certain he doesn’t actually like the football club. I would like you to go Harry. Please.
No beating about the bush there then.
As has been mentioned, it seems that Villa are targeting Paul Lambert to replace McLeish.
So come on Levy, stop dithering, sack Harry for failing and get Lambert for us. ;-)
Ha ha we’ll get the wrong one…ie McLeish
the man from wigan for me.
lambert has the qualities i am sure, but we need that tactical savvy that we have lacked for a while – and he conducts himself with grace and class.
