Official Tottenham Hotspur Thread

Although obviously not a Spurs fan, I know what Bill Nicholson did back in the 60's/70's with Spurs and for English football in general I guess with his Tottenham being the first English team to win a major European trophy.

R.I.P.

Bloody hell! On a day when our most successful ever manager passed away, you would have thought the modern day team would be up for this game and try to win it for him. From what I've heard the team was pathetic and if Bill Nicholson was alive he would have been embarassed.

Talking of embarrassment, our defence is abysmal right now. Conceded five in seven, now we've conceded seven in the last three?

What the hell's going wrong?

All i can say about Spurs at the moment is we are in desperate need of another center back to play with Ledley And another left winger because Atouba is one of the worst players to ever where that lily white shirt . Santini shouldnt be in charge if he continues to play poor football . our full backs dont get forwards , edman has got one of the best crosses in the team (the cross to Larsson for sweden @ the euro was by this man)

Our captain isnt inspirational , hes a tart who dont run . We dont play to our strengths , which is playing football and not whacking the ball up the field which is what i have seen since santinis taken over . I Feel cheated to pay over £200 for a season ticket and we play awful football which is one reason we shouldve kept hoddle .

Saturday we will most likely get a draw and god bless us when we face Arsenal next week

Let's not be silly - Hoddle was a fucking prick. At least George Graham had Spurs drilled, abeit took bribes and sweeteners. I totally agree with the Atouba thing - he is fucking awful, I'd give Gardner a run at centre back and I'd make Ledley King captain. How aren't we winning games with a team like:

GK: Robinson

DR: Paramot (Who has been magic)

DL: Edman

DC: King

DC: Gardner/Naybet

MR: Davies

ML: I'd take Johnnie Jackson

MC: Carrick/Davis

MC: Redknapp

FC: Defoe

FC: Keane

That, on paper, is a good team - nice mix of youth and experience and fairly talented with players like King, Paramot and Sean Davis who will run their hearts out.

Did anyone see the keeper in the U16 Game today ? Hes was a young Spurs keeper that goes to my school and he look really solid today . Possible one for the future , or hell be on the bench all season and get forgotten like the legend rob burch

Santini has just quit Spurs due to 'personal reasons'. Shock return for Hoddle in the works?

[Rage]

I'd say he didn't settle in England. If they bring back Hoddle, that's it, I'm finished with them.

Sir Bobby's name will be mentioned as per usual. The likes of Strachan and Houllier as well. Or how about Pleat?

[The Slickman]

Sir Bobby / Megson/Strachan but please , please dont bring back pleat

[G-O-D]

I'm surprised Santini quit. He's been at the helm for like, only 5 months? Tottenham fans can only pray that his successor will be someone as good, if not better, than him.

[Rage]

I wouldn't mind Frank Arnesen. He might do something good.

[King Ellis]

Channel 4 news just said that a coach is in charge of the team for tommorows game. I think she said Martin something, I didn't catch the surname.

[fineintent]

Martin Jol.

Supposed to be a solid coach.

[The Slickman]

Martin Jol , Assistant Manager

Im really happy with Santini leaving . I Wouldnt mind getting anyone in who will play good football
