Good evening.
I don’t know about you, but frankly I’ve had enough. Who are Reading? This season is a write off and certain individuals need to take a long hard look at themselves.
The hair sprayed syrup of Glenda Hoddle had it right before a ball was kicked. Many, many Spurs fans are genuinely concerned about this …er possible … er maybe probable thing that hasn’t …actually happened. And didn’t, but let’s not deflect attention from what might well have been.
A win against Reading is nothing in real terms; the mistakes have been already been made. We need a proper footballing man in charge of this once great club.
Rodgers is a man with a proper footballing CV, not some one hit wonder Powerpoint merchant. In his whole year at Watford took them into the relegation zone and like Bruce Willis type act of insane bravery he carried the club out of that burning building and into 13th.
Brendan’s next achievement was a spell at Reading running from June to December of 2009.
The next two years were landmarks. Taking over Roberto Martinez’ Swansea City side he won promotion from the Championship and Swansea’s first season in the Premier League saw them finish 11th.
At Liverpool his first initiative was to wait for the transfer window to close before formally announcing that he didn’t actually really want any of Kenny Dalglish’s £100m+ gang of signings but Didier Drogba might be nice.
This season the Reds supremo has already secured 2 points from a possible 12 and one of those was courtesy of an audacious draw against current Champions Manchester City!
Roberto Martinez is another standout top notch manger. In his first job at Swansea he laid solid foundations for the future. Brendan Rodgers made about seven changes, but that’s not the point. This is clearly a man with an ethos.
Since 2009, Bob has courted relegation and bested it repeatedly. If you analyze the number of clubs that sit more or less permanently in the lower echelons of the Premier League all season, you’ll discover that routinely three of those sides tend to get relegated. Has Bob been relegated? No he has not. That’s his legacy.
His record as a man who simply refuses to be relegated has been an attractive facet to a number of dynamic, forward thinking sides. Both Aston Villa and Liverpool tried to poach the Spanish maestro but he has resolutely refused to be tempted away from Dave Whelan’s wallet.
This season Martinez has already set his stall out securing 4 points with ease.
Levy & Co. have clear all the decision making skills of The Three Stooges. The dark days of Santini, as predicted by so very many true supporters of this once great club have returned. The new training ground looks more like a some country club for fat American ladies. Anyone who remotely understands football knows all you need is a pair of high-waisted tracksuit bottoms, some cones and a ball.
The idea you bring in some Johnny foreigner who’s never played the game is laughable. Apparently in the game since 1998, allegedly having worked with Sir Bobby Robson and Joe Mourinho or something I’m actually bored discussing him. No wonder Burnley saw him for what he was. They know how to dodge a bullet in Burnley.

Fans at The Lane need take note. Fervent support of our football team is demonstrated on a routine basis by those that make the decision to engage and pursue away games either in the flesh or on TV. Always outnumbered, never outgunned, our away support simply reflects all the brilliant millions of boys and girls overseas that believe and will on Spurs every single game.
Too many turn up at The Lane as if they’re ‘something special’, they’re not. Stop wasting a seat. Stop booing. Hey, get the message? just stop.
Hotspurs Half Hour – Show 5 The Cincinatti Yid by hotspurshalfhour
Henry Hotspot, why have you all of a sudden started singing the praises of us that go away? We have been doing it long time!!
…Oh, and what a difference having some good vocal support made. Well done the travelling Spurs fans :daumen: Great support and a credit to the club. Maybe the Home contingent can try a bit of the same on Thursday?
Haaaaaaaaaaas Thats just me laughing at the sartirical righting of H.H. Now things are getting better because i watched 89 mins then turned it of. f so we won 3-0. This could have bean another 1-1 but we managed another two goals. This means we have to score two to win and that is why i am happy to sign another cheque for AVB but after QPR the adminastators could arrive. This is what he will need to do scrap Naughton and play any one of these three Walker Dawson Vertonghan Gallas at the back play Loris for his speed off the line install this attack and we will kick on Lennon Hudds Dembelle Siggy Bale Dempsey Defoe Ady 3.5.3 then we can deal with godd god jumping frog AVB sort is throat out stop him punching fresh air and install Harry has is P.R COYS
As someone who’s always backed AVB to succeed, I feel rather smug this morning…
Oh wait hang on, I wasn’t one of those. I thought there were some good signs yesterday, but let’s give it a while longer before making a judgement.
Sod it, I love a snap judgement, top four defo.
Loved the high pressing, which nearly paid off with Defoe and Lennon.
Siggy and Dembele looked v good, Naughton grew into it, if we can keep the bench happy we could be heading in the right direction. I also see Walker likes the new methods…
Will Parker get back in?
Positive Monday, now let’s get at least four points from next two games to cement the confidence in the new ways.
I see Modric is dragging Real to their knees…!
Glory glory.
I do wonder if AVB will use the goal that Friedel let in as an excuse to play Loris, but Old Trafford may not be the best place have your first premier league bow?
Our subs bench looked the dogs, if we can ship out the last of the deadwood and rotate with those who did not start (who were on the bench) then happy days.
My apologies, I was given incorrect info! Next Premier league match is QPR home, I would still keep Friedel though.
Loris against Lazio would be my reckoning.
