Tottenham Thread

[rijit]

glad that so far.our manager has kept his mouth shut.and managed to refrain from shooting himself in the foot. a trait far to common at the lane in recent seasons. lets hope he keeps on managing that side of things effectively.

[P45Mustang]

AVB was stunning.

Didn't know where to put his foot.

So Sherwood says, 'This is how you do it."

Net result for Levy...total cock up.

Indeed. General Dim as an example, holding forth in detail about why he turned down the West Brom position. Not a smart move as management ordinarily don't take kindly to a job candidate spewing details involved in negotiations. Other clubs take notice of that sort of behavior.

[P45Mustang]

Anyway. Sherwood is history.

Up to Pochetino now.

To be totally honest, I find Sherwood an irritating little jumped up twa-t.

I thought he did an excellent job under the circumstances. His heart was in the right place, he produced good results, and his main failing was not to bench Soldadud from the onset. Against all the odds he very nearly pulled it off. Give him a break and give him the credit he deserves as after all, he was a second tier trainer without portfolio who presumed nothing and tried his best given his woeful lack of experience. Had he pulled it off and we finished fourth, you would all be readily humming hurrah

Not many spuds in the World Cup, but they're making their mark! Nice one Verts

yep sherwood on the pitc h given the curcumstances did a decent enuf job, just needed to keep his gob shut during interviews. personally I blame spurs 4 that as much as i blame sherwood, pay managers mega bucks and dont seem to prepare them for what is growing to be ,next to results, the most important part of a managers job, dealing with the media. As for him turning down the wb job, good decision by him you dont want to be going into a new club without any back up tbh, imo its a penny pinching short sighted decision by wb. oh veritys just got himself in apoor defensive position and given a penalty away in the wc , now there's a surprise!!!!

Fellaini's losses might have just recouped a little bit

[wilai]

To be fair, Belgium look a lot better now they are (virtually) spudless.

yeah, playing more in the position that he made a name for himself at Everton, but in fairness, given the competition 4 that spot he was never gonna get a look in at utd.

[rijit]

Thought 2 day we saw why murrey at the chav's doesn't want lukaku, plays well in a pair and running from deeper but he really aint very good solo ish upfront and running ax the line . IMO really Needs that in his locker b4 he will be able to take the next step on and establish himself in champ's league team .

Don't really understand this. Poor attempt to troll?

I think this is very fair comment. He made some horrendous team selections which can be forgiven with his inexperience but to be fair he got the results and i still think that (baring in mind the upheavals of changing managers and introducing seven new player and selling our best player) we did well to finish within a few points of fourth.

Tim Sherwood's biggest problem is he's too cocky by half and almost juvenile in his approach to speaking with the press

Yep. That was what I was trying to say. But you say it much better carmine.

I think this is exactly right.

But I'm biased of course.

I know. and Lloris plays for France, Paulinho for Brazil. Add those to the 4 on the pitch in the Belgium game and that makes 6 in total (+BAE). 2nd line was in response to Rijit re no of Spuds players in World Cup. Should have made it a separate post. Sorry

16 Aug. West Ham. Home. Can't wait. COYS

[P45Mustang]

Pochettino will be a lot better than AVB and Sherwood.

Mark my words.

( Sorry if this sounds a bit cocky.)

[Chicog]

A chance to avenge the treble defeat eh?

Or a chance for them to knock up a "Four in a row" shirt.

[P45Mustang]

And while West Ham, Spurs and Arsenal are fighting in a North London pub, what are Chelsea doing?

16 Aug. West Ham. Home. Can't wait. COYS

errr Away aren't you?

Judging by Paulinhos displays, looks like we'd only get 20m for him now

Maybe he just doesn't realise it, hence the head butting of his team mate.

[alfieconn]

Fair amount of talk about Moreno coming

[rijit]

Surprised our new manager didn't even want to have a look at livermore b4 he was outed, but there you go

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/27957557
