Good morning.
Paternity leave eh? I noted that on this blog that responses of outrage toward my tongue in cheek ‘I’m Surprised He Didn’t Consider Adoption Given The Importance Of The Game’ piece were all from men. On Twitter the biggest moans and groans of disbelief that Bale bailed on the Chelsea game were from women. Underlining what we all knew already: some girls are bigger than others.
“It is an indisputable fact that Tottenham are the favourites, but Maribor will be a difficult opponent,” said the 24-year-old. “We are highly motivated and ready for this big match. We want to show the real ‘European’ Maribor.
The fans will be our 12th man and this will be an additional motivation. We want to get as many points as possible in the Europa League and our aim is to finish first or second in the group.”
Maribor coach Darko Milani
Spurs need to seriously step it up tonight. For a tournament that we’re supposed to be taking seriously we could do with performances to reflect it. I was furious after the last debacle. It’s not arrogance, I do not expect us to beat everyone 5-0, but I do expect us to at least have a proper go. Get stuck in and not look like a bunch of pansies killing time, waiting for the coach to the airport.
For those wanting a game with a bit of an edge to it, this could be just the ticket. The images here are what their lot get up to. Prediction? If we win by a goal I’ll be very happy. If the game is marred by Huddlestone prancing around like some wistful schoolgirl I’ll be very unhappy. What we need here is some steel.
Selling Rafa was a mistake what he’d do in 70 mins Siggy or Dempsey couldn’t do in 12 games.
He’s gone.
6 league starts, 1 goal so far for his new club.
Dempsey hasn’t even had that many starts, in fact your “12 games” comment is redundant in that it’s inaccurate for both.
Dempsey did score against Man United in a winning performance, something VdV never did.
You could give them a chance to bed into a new team. Or you could knee jerk like a knee jerker.
Selling Rafa was smart.
I think it was the right sale at the right time, but I wouldn’t go as far as to say we reinvested the money wisely. Not yet anyway.
Maybe I like jerking my knee, being a knee jerkers where it’s at I’m afraid.. I enjoy knee jerking ????????
not much fun since bennys been out :cool:
Miss Benny,Dawson,Parker.
Here’s a positive for you to digest.
Today was the 17th time Spurs were behind at Half Time in a European away fixture. In those instances, Spurs went on to lose all 16 previous matches.
:daumen:
WE WAS PURE S**T :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry:
Still finding our feet and desperate for a top goalscorer but we didn’t lose….one positive which I’ve noticed across CL and Europa games this week, referees are now booking players for going down too easy…..long may it continue, thank god the boy Bale didn’t play
Anyone starting to think we bought Adebayor for 5m, just so we could sell him for more in the next window? :)
Back injury? Is that football-speak for ‘got the arse’…
wouldn’t that break the 3 clubs one season rule?
After June then.
