Tottenham Thread

[P45Mustang]

My club is represented by Jose Mourinho football manager.

And a picture paints a thousand words!

You are intellectually and emotionally limited sotsira.

So don't go fishing for pics that suit your net.

Emotions are what your showing Sally, after your team blew a 1-0 lead against

bottom of the table Sunderland in your own back yard

Where did it all go so wrong oh Special One!

Dunno. You tell me.

77 never beaten at The Bridge.

Thucking mystery as far as I'm concerned.

I'd play Eriksson as a 10 and I wouldn't care if he ever tracked back.

Going on adeboys last penalty , yeah for sure , you'd make erikson frst choice, but it's a difficult one to take away from your striker if he's wanting to take them after all he's 100 % judged on his goal return , ad as for not tracking bac,, thats a luxury we cant afford and actually, ericksons general play was quite and that penalty!!!!!!, but he's a game changer, with assists ect ect

Sorry for the late reply. I don't necessarily agree with you rij, there are goalscorers and dead ball specialists. I can think of quite a few teams where the (supposed) primary goal scorer is not the penalty taker, Baines, Gerrard, spring to mind for example. They don't fart around with little shimmies before rolling it to the keeper, they are usually no nonsense affairs. Soldado takes a sweet penalty with no messing. I think Erikson would be in the no nonsense category, hard into the top corner R or L.

Yep no doubts there's an argument for dead ball specialist taking pens and some teams do but,as a rule of thumb a manager would want the primary striker to be taking the penalty, goals bring goals, confidence ect ect and if he wants to, WANTS is the key word here, unless he continually f's up, you wouldn't want to b taking it away from them, but as U/I said there's an argument against them taking them..

A striker who is clinical in front of goal then yes for pens, but Ade is hardly clinical !

11 out of 20 of the teams in Premier League have their penalty taker as someone other than their 'primary' goalscorer.

[P45Mustang]

Yep. Just Ask Lisa Braun.

Adolf was shit hot when it came to penalties.

But since we are on the totts thread...ask Levy.

Thankyou for your humanity!

Theres a very chill wind blowing around WHL with the expected news from Manchester.

[Chicog]

So assuming the moaners take the easy way out and go for Van Gaal, who would be next on your list?

Right now I'd fancy Klopp or Pochettino if Wenger decides to hang up his sleeping bag coat.

Klopp won't leave Dortmund. I'd go for the argentine.

Bit of bias there perhaps.

, could be a lot of competition 4 managers, barca could well sack theres , traditionally no champions lge win or la liga win and madrid do the same, though that may not happen. Utd are looking, so who knows who we could end up with , the worlds against sherwood , and he needs to get his act in certain respects,interviews, he needs some training and all over be a touch more corporate, remember he represents a multi million pound corporation. But on the park 4 me with a poorly balanced squad he aint done such a terrible job . at least i want to watch his teams play, which under vb i was beginning not to want to. We will c.. as 4 the argie, tbh I'm not convinced, he inherited a bloody good squad and the prev manage was beginning to get it together b4 he turned up. anyway we will c, as i' said b4 i'm not oppossed to someone with spurs in the hearts as opposed to some forgiener who will undoubtable be gone in 2 years and really don't give a f bout the club.

and harking back i know people sneered when i said bout kane being like sherringham earlier in the season, but i tell ya, the boys got it, future England c/f there, proper old school one, big strong, got a bit of pace about him good touch and excellent positional sense, watch him, he can play and more 2 the point he can finish.And whats even better 4 us,,,, he's Tottenham.

I really hope he doesn't come to us, it'll be another mismatch.He just doesn't play 'spurs' style football, as he didn't play utd style football.

Is that Spurs style under AVB or Sherwood?

I do agree that he would be an odd choice though.

u knows spurs tradition as well as me o's, pacy wide wing men, classy inside forwards, and the odd world quality middie, its the spurs way as it was the utd way but it just aint the moyes way, he's best of somewhere like blackburn or bolton where they'll give him a few quid and time to build a pragmatic work men like team, that through not losing stands a chance of winning, not utds way as it aint the spurs way, west ham might be api with that attidude, but at the lane more is demanded.style and quality being at the top of the list.

I think Moyes is holding out for the Barcelona job incase Martino gets sacked.

[alfieconn]

^^errrr you?

No, not me but your sort of getting there !!!! iv'e actually got less hair than him Wils

[wilai]

^ Bet he's always had more hair than you

^ Bet he's always had more hair than you

Going off topic a bit Wils but I will throw a few things at you about hair etc, if more hair is meaning longer hair then yes he has always had more hair than me although I did partake in the fashion of the late 1970's of having permed and long hair at the back !!! now if having more hair means having thicker hair then perhaps he hasn't always had more hair than me, I will let you decide as you come across as being more of an hairdresser then me

[alfieconn]

Alfie Conn Jr.

Correct ups and you've won a weekend away with carmine

Footnote ; not sure about the Jr bit though.
