Good morning.
Match of the day? Well we can live in hope.
The Saints sit a point ahead of QPR having won just one game for far this term and that was at home against Villa who they managed to beat 4-1. Now what Southampton have managed to do is score. They’ve won naff all but they have scored against everyone. Arsenal, Everton, Manchester United…So we need a defense
Based upon his last two games alone (for England and us) Walker needs ‘a rest’. To regroup and refocus himself before it all goes horribly wrong for all of us. So I’ve brought in Naughton. To be blunt, at this stage a ‘caution wet floor’ sign would present more of an obstacle defensively than he’s been of late.
Billy was a close second in recent hate fests and I can’t take any of that seriously. Dawson for all his fan boy support is a hoofing heart-breaker we have to move away from this. All you do when you punt the ball away is turn possession into a 50/50 ball. I know it’s boring, but that’s predominantly what the bloke does.
First things second and I’ve put in Lloris but I think the boss will stick with Brad. i don’t know why, no sun up in the sky, stormy weather. Well I don’t think it will actually make things stormy but I just don’t see the good in it.
So where next? Barring a bout of post natal depression the Boy Bale ought to be back but I am unconvinced Moussa will be right. So at the risk of sending you my dear reader into spasm of wtf’ing I’ve gone for Thud. Why? Well I don’t need to watch Livermore again this season if I can help it, I don’t see Gylfi as a DM and despite the thinking of more charitable souls than mine none of the kids are ready yet.
Thud could make something happen and that leads me neatly on to playing a 442 with both of our brave strikers starting. I see little point in keeping either of them ‘up our sleeve’ against Southampton. This lot leak goals like nobody’s business and we need to make sure therefore we really focus on supply and therefore hopefully scoring.
Prediction? I’m sticking with us giving them a hiding. There’s no earthly reason why we should be the side that turns their abysmal form around. None whatsoever. We must show resolve – we must show steel.
They don’t like it up ’em, you know, The cold hard steel.

Sorry, I’ll go away in a minute, but first, Quote of the day re Sandros awesome 90th minutes head block
‘Knocked him out? Pretty sure he got right back up with a roar that deafened half the population of Southampton. It would take a dozen freight trains to knock motherfucking Sandro Ranieri out’
EPIC
I’d like think that the Southampton Yiddo who’s fighting cancer and posted pre season at his wish to see Tottenham play again,made it to the game today.Here’s hoping anyway.
:daumen:
Well said Frontwheel, fingers crossed for the guy.
wELL SAID
Great call Frontwheel – the Eyeballer salutes you!
Harry Hotspur re. your most recent blog on which comments are closed. Your absolutely right you have never supported Spurs, you never go to games, so your support consists of you making money out of Spurs fans via adverts from your website, unlike the person writing this currently travelling back from Southampton. Please tell us how many Spurs matches you have attended this season?
Dean,
I actually loathe sub human scum (not like you, but specifically you) and I love making money. How do you pay for your bill at the till at Waitrose when the girl says. ‘That’s £172,43p please.’
Do you actually say, ‘I have kudos amongst Spurs fans, love.’
Errrr… no you don’t.
What I find rather ‘needy’ for a more damning word or phrase, is you traveling merely a paltry few hundred miles to watch a game and coming on here needing praise.
Can I ask Dean, is it a Jim’ll Fix It Badge that is missing from your value system?
If so dear, the moment may have passed.
:-|
I’m sure this has come up in the past. What is the qualification to be a a proper Spurs fan. The last time I saw us play at Southampton’s ground it was called the Dell and it was 1978. Does that make me proper Spurs fan or not?
Do you ever attend Spurs? Or do you just make money out of Spurs fans? Two simple questions, as you claim to “support” Spurs. Just wondering what you support consists of.
He aint ever made any money out of me that’s for sure.
He cost me a tenner today…..5-1 he said!
dean austin you’re a cock and im glad i didnt have you near me today all we did was drink and cheer and cunts -sorry h – like you are so fucking poisonous what is the point?
I for one can claim to be a “true fan” coz I go to shitloads of games, I’ve even been to Southampton but I’ve never been to Scunthorpe……in fact Jimmy Saville once asked me if he could take me up the Ar5ena1, at least I think thats what he said, I was only 9 at the time……
Amen to last two posts…..
OK, need to ask the congregation….
Based on a total organizational attitude that tolerates a whole host of crimes from tapping up to tolerance of racism by both players and fans, am I comitting sacrilege by hating the blue racists more than the red scum?????
It just seems that the attitude emminating from West London is so much worse than anything I’ve seen.
The blue Mancs are nuveau riche but know where they come from. The red Mancs are just fair weather fans. Our neighbors have been knocked down a peg or three due to lack of trophies and lack of indiscrimate spending. And the scousers have a lot more problems than any of us….
Maybe its the four Hoegaardens but would love to hear others thoughts….
COYS
In the scared drunken hymn of my father: I beg your pardon, I think you’ll find I never ordered a Hoegaarden :silly:
No, i’m in the same boat as you. I hate losing to both but hate the blue racists way more than the scum.
Scums arrogance was created by winning things off their own back. That other mob paid for theirs.
I always have good football banter with the goons. It just turns vicious and offensive when the blue racists are around.
I’ve never ordered Hoegaarden either! :-D
