Unfortunatley you see that so often with those sorts of players

[Turbo Yannis]

Champions League Team ? Everton . Okay they deserve it but 7-0 to Arsenal has proved they cant cut it against that quality .

We still beat them both times including knocking 5 past them for fun. It's a move backwards as far as I can see. Not that their are many places domestically he can move up to.

[Turbo Yannis]

I still fail to see how moving from a team that finished 8th to a team that finished 4th is a step back.

[lazy_arse]

Shhh... Nobody tell him we finished 9th

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

Now that Southampton have gone down, next season I believe we'll be one of only about 7 teams that have played in the Premiership every season...

The teams I'm certain of are:

Spurs

Man United

Everton

Aston Villa

Arsenal

Liverpool

Chelsea

Not certain about Newcastle...

If Everton finish in the top half next season the club will see it as a great sign of consolidation.

If Spurs finish below 7th we'll see the season as a faliure.

That's the difference.

I listen to Talk Sport a lot and when they're speaking to football pundits they often talk about how Chelsea joining the big two are great, and now are tlaking about how Manchester United will need to battle to stay ahead of clubs like Liverpool, Tottenham and Middlesbrough.

Everton aren't mentioned as an up and coming team.

They had a great season but I'd put money on them not repeating it.

Keano has feuled transfer rumors again so it seems . Keano to Celtic apparently

Sky Sports News right now! Spurs suspend Frank Arnesen after approach from Chelsea! Wtf!!!

Nooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!

[Chris2K]

Spurs have suspended sporting director Frank Arnesen after they revealed Chelsea made an approach to the Dane without their permission.

Arnesen says he wants to move to Chelsea, and Spurs have confirmed they are taking legal advice on the matter.

Spurs said on the club's website www.spurs.co.uk that the approach was made "in direct breach of FAPL rules.

"This approach was made both prior to requesting permission and without permission from the club."

The row over Arnesen comes only days after Chelsea were fined £300,000 and handed a suspended three-point deduction by Premier League officials for their role in an illegal meeting with Arsenal full-back Ashley Cole.

Arnesen arrived at Spurs at the start of last season and was instrumental in appointing Jacques Santini, then his successor Martin Jol.

He is also responsible for masterminding the club's transfer policy.

The Spurs statement added: "Notwithstanding that he is subject to contract and holds wide-ranging responsibilities and commitments to all parties at Tottenham Hotspur Football Club, Frank has indicated that he wishes to move to Chelsea Football Club.

"Accordingly, the board of Tottenham Hotspur plc has suspended Frank Arnesen with immediate effect.

"The club is currently in discussions with its legal advisors and a further announcement will be made in due course."

The Premier League, however, are yet to receive a complaint from Spurs officials about the alleged approach to Arnesen.

"We have not received an official complaint," said Premier League spokesman Dan Johnson. "We await to see the action Tottenham wish to pursue."

Sure came out of nowhere...

[therockbox]

So, if this goes the same way as Colegate will Chelsea then be docked three points?

[lazy_arse]

I've heard that they wont because it is not the same rule that got them in trouble over Ashley Cole. The points would only be taken away if they disobeyed the same rule again, but there is a different rule for members of staff.

[lanky316]

It's still tapping up though surely?

The problem with Chelsea is they're run by the mob, they'll always get there own way

[The Slickman]

Start to get things sorted out and then these cunts come along and ruin it . Typical !

[marksbros6]

Same old Chelsea...Always Cheating...

Same old Chelsea...Always Cheating...

But disappointed with Arnesen. The guys been doing a great job for Spurs. A lot of the good signings we've made have been attributed to him, and the 'European' style of organising the club (Footballing Director, 1st Team Manager, Assistant) paid dividends when Santini bailed on us. Tottenham have the potential to go places FINALLY IMO, and now he wants to leave.

Bugger!

[FLiam]

People said that Chelsea having this money is good for football.

Fuck off is it, they just run around like they own fucking everything.

They need to dock them points and ban them from transfers for at least 6 months imo.

Adding to that, Chelsea charging fans up to £30 to have their picture taken with the Premiership trophy. I got mine with the Premiership, Charity Shiled and season unbeaten trohpy for free.

Gah Arnesen...That's a minor disaster.

And I'm no longer so friendly towards Chelsea....

And glancing over some burley guy's shoulder at The Sun today I see "Robinson off to United for £10million".

That had better be pure speculation cos United have no decent keepers...
