The funny thing is, you go on about KDB getting injures yet your back up is so strong you don't even need him at times. A prime example being when you played Spurs in London. We were third and you might have thought such a big game warranted your strongest side.....but no, you left Sane and KDB on the frigging bench. Thats an example of absurd depth and makes City fans' moans extremely lightweight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well it is R2D2 you are listening to!! He's clearly back from his dogging weekend???? He has his opinion and he's welcome to it. However, the so called experts consider it a major achievement for us to qualify in the top four. Perhaps they know a bit more. Why do you bother reading what he says anyway? He's only trying to antagonize. And its not like he knows jack sh1t anyway. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, we are extremely lucky to have depth to cover the likes of KdB when he's injured. However, he is a key player and when he does get injured (or any other player) we are allowed to mention it without getting jumped on (we didn't moan, unless moan has a different meaning down south).

Thats an example of absurd depth and makes City fans' moans extremely lightweight. “The funny thing is, you go on about KDB getting injures yet your back up is so strong you don't even need him at times.” KDB has been out for most of the season, agreed. Last season he was our best player and arguably the best player in the Premier along with Salah. Take out each team’s KDB – Salah or VVD, Kane, Hazard, Arsenal’s (I have no idea) and DeGea – it would have an effect on that team’s performance, agreed. We have coped without KDB, but with him we’d have been better off in the 1st half of the season he missed (Bernardo is good but he ain’t no KDB), agreed. Missing his input over the season could end up being the difference between US winning the Premier and not winning it. So you have no point. “when you played Spurs in London. We were third and you might have thought such a big game warranted your strongest side.....but no, you left Sane and KDB on the frigging bench.” We wouldn’t risk them on that bog of an American football field of yours! Seriously, KDB had just returned in the previous game and had only played the last 32 minutes, after being our injured for months. Sane if I remember correctly was either out-of-form or out-of-favour with Pep. Why criticize my club because they invest (as do the other major teams – but I never see you criticizing them!) in top players because we want to compete with the ManU’s and Chelsea’s (and this season Liverpool) every season for ‘titles’ (to use johnny foreigner’s term)? Your club could invest in players, you’re a rich club [THE 10TH RICHEST IN THE WORLD], but you don’t because you can’t, because currently you don’t have money to invest in top players because your money is tied up in your stadium build! Spurs have to decide do you want to be a team competing for titles or do you want to just be competing for a place in Europe as your ultimate goal every season; Poch wants to compete, your owners seem content just to trundle along, while you lot just whinge its not fair. *00:01, 24 JAN 2019 [TODAY] Tottenham Hotspur have edged ahead of Juventus to become the world's 10th richest football club, a new report has revealed. Spurs earned £379.4million in 2017/18 according to the latest Deloitte Football Money League. That's up from £305.6million the season before - an increase of £73.8million. It makes Tottenham the sixth highest earners in English football and the 10th highest worldwide. Spurs are ahead sides such as Italian giants Juventus who are in 11th place with revenues of £348.6m, Borussia Dortmund who are in 12th (£285.8million) and Atlético Madrid who are in 13th (£234.2million). Spurs' increase was driven mostly by matchday revenues which went up by two thirds to £75.5million. Commercial revenues went up by £31.1million to £103.2million and broadcast revenues went up by £12.5million to £200.7million. The Deloitte Football Money League is calculated every year and reveals the top 20 highest earning football clubs in the previous season. https://www.football.london/tottenham-hotspur-fc/tottenham-hotspur-rank-among-worlds-15724099 Edited January 24, 2019 by Bredbury Blue 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its obvious even to your gimp masked marauder that we are in the midst of an injury crisis right now. One or two out proved to have little impact on our performances and results which is testimony to the excellent squad work done by the management team. At bare bones now we are going to need a bucketload of luck beginning with the chavs tonight with little let up. As a side issue why am I reading muppet reports about Sanchez performance v Fulham? Some pundits really are clueless aren't they!! Adrien Rabiot my arzzz if he ends up at the Lane. The rumour mill gone crazy and I see us maybe 20m sold and 0m in. Standard procedure nowadays at the Lane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3 minus 2 Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 (edited) As per i thought startin with lorrente upfront another start WILL not do him any harm.. after only 3rdish start in a year ish it'll take anyone let alone a 30 plus yr old time to kick bac in, personally i'm optimistic get him the ball at his feet or on his head IN THE BOX and i reckon he'll finish, to long in top teams to lose that abilty, speed yes but skill no.. more worried bout our bacs leavin verity and co exposed . but we'll c Edited January 24, 2019 by 3 minus 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, since this injury crisis is going to effectively capsize our season i think we have every right to moan. Davies and Sissoko limped off last night but i do wonder if the latter was recalled too early out of desperation. Neither Sissoko or Dier looked anywhere near sharp to me.

Thats right. They dug deep second half. Anyone with the remotest football brain knew the odds were stacked against us and i'm not really expecting anyone other than bradbury Blue to make as bigger fool of himself and suggest otherwise. I doubt he'll disappoint! What was slightly irritating or amusing pending on your mood was the fact that this was the first year that away goals haven't counted double but we were aware of that, its just slightly ironic.
