Tottenham Thread

[smokie36]

Yes Jol is an excellent manager....should be an interesting tussle!

On our game tomorrow we should dominate the game and with them at home there should be plenty of gaps to exploit.

COYS.

I don't think you will find any thing that would suggest I'm confident against Fulham. I haven't exactly been full of praise at their recent performances.

As far as Fulham and their fans are concerned its their biggest game of the season and Chelsea always have to dig in for this one.

I doubt Mourinho or the team will be complacent with this fixture. Lets hope he hasn't shattered the confidence of any more players other than Mata. Quite why he's discussing his players perceived shortcomings with the press is beyond me.

It's the new management style; evidently he is best mates with Di Caneo. JT will already be plotting for early expulsion. As for the Russian, time to walk away and go to pastures new me thinks. Could start up a book to predict the Nationality of the new lot?

My money is on the Chinese!

Levy will walk before Roman.

Levy will walk before Roman.

I wasn't talking about chairmen employees, I was talking about owners. No sign of Joe Lewis going anywhere; he has too much to look forwards too. Especially with a stadium that is set to be the best in the Premiership with NO debt.

They started work the day after planning was finally granted. It is a huge undertaking with significant additions and improvements to infrastructure and communication links in and around the Tottenham area. See if you can get tickets for your away game and come and have a looksie.

And where are the signs that Roman is going? I'm sure you know Roman is also looking to extend of build a new stadium. As for debt. 55555555 Roman owes himself!!

Levy works for the club, his uncle Joe Lewis owns us. How long Levy stays depends partially on the health of his wife and secondly if and when Lewis wants to sell.

Won't happen before the stadium is built so a minimum of five years. that is unless the correct sum of arab russian or chinese money is on the table

The only way he'll go is if he gets bored or wants to buy a big club

You have about five years more bragging rights is the answer i think you are looking for.

A certain Mr Rijit is conspicuous by his absence! Anyone know where he is?

[iancnx]

Carms, my point is just that.... He will get bored of the current round of failures together with the dressing room antics. Now he see's AVB in a totally different light and realises what a Roman Dick he has been. After the Rafa debacle he has become the laughing stock. The Special One has but a couple of months to get to the top of the table, or it's p45 time.

I have not seen since the Arsenal game...... Maybe he still in shock..... Cannot blame him for that, but I hope he has seen the vast improvements since

Interesting this because a Chelsea mate of mine says he's heard that Abramovich was livid with Terry for the way he undermined AVB and feels Terry was responsible for making a mockery of AVB's appointment. Who knows if its true but if i were the owner i certainly would.

You just have to see the way Terry used the hostility of the home crowd to play up throughout Benitez's tenure.

He really is a horrid character. He'll soon be gone, as will Cole and Chelsea might well be a stronger unit without them

[SinglePot]

Abramovich is going nowhere.

Mourhino. Up to him to create football excellence. (As he has said he wants to. BBC sport today).

Ian. With respect, your tribal passion is stopping you seeing the wood for the trees on occasion.

Yeah I know, I love the banter though.... But just imagine, !ourinho fails, you end up winning nothing and the perhaps not so loyal Chelsea faithful all gang up against the Russian...... It no longer becomes fun for the playboy anymore..... And the Chinese are coming!

Sort out the China Southern Stadium at the Lane, and stop talking ballacks (or idle conjecture) about The Bridge Ian.

Cheers.

But they dont have their own Tube station like Arsenal do do they and White Hart Lane Station is not up to the job, I know they have smartened it up but how are they going to get crowds in and out of the the new stadium? Its the patch next door from what I have heard to the current stadium. How big will it be and how will people get there and away apart from by car?

[nong38]

Spurs have spent a lot of money this window and if reports are to be believed will have the cheque book out again in January so how much do they need to spend to get above the Gunners? That is the prioity right, the top of the league would be a bonus. So how much is it now and how muc does it need to be?

I doubt they've put any thought at all into how fans will get there!

Its five years away and is a work in progress within a regeneration or a very poor run down and neglected area of London. The agreement to stay in the area was taken with a proviso that there would be substantial finance put towards public transport.

Anyway. I' m in Hugh Grant territory... Notting Hill...with sons 4 and 5.

Feeling Lucky Mr Jol?

You seem to forget you are just one of the other clubs trying to make top four. If you see it as us challenging your goodselves fine but to us you are merely one of the others.

Add to that, your clubs early incompetance in transfer dealings, culminating in paying over the odds for Ozil is nought to do with us. We came through the window 3m in profit, you came out a fair few million out of profit.

Whilst you talk about "how much we need to spend" could i remind you you finished , what was it now, one whole point ahead of us last season!

A post on the area around WHL to follow...I'm probably the only poor bugger to have lived there in recent years...

A little hammering for the stoke and cardiff boys.

Moyes will settle for a draw I guess.

[casinonick]

More like ten year ago (2003) judging from my time in Fulham in the early 90's (20 years ago)

Casino, enlighten me on the Russian prostitute thing.

BBC sport.... Chelsea rebounded from their worst start to a league season in 10 years by grinding out a victory over Fulham. Following successive defeats by Everton and Basel, manager Jose Mourinho said he wanted to improve Chelsea's style of play but there was little sign of a dramatic change in an unconvincing performance from the hosts.

Sometimes it doesn't matter how much money a Russian thief pumps into a football team.......
