I don't rate Les Dawson tbh.

Seems like the prawns in his gob make his tongue work funny.

I liked the look of Southampton. Good game. Shame they couldn't of held the scousers to a point.

[iancnx]

So, Hart to concede a Geordie brace.... I wish.

[P45Mustang]

Yeah. Ain't that the truth.

Any Spurs bars around Pattaya?

Depends what kind of Spurs you are talking about.

Quite busy on Thursday nights I would have thought.

Maybe a rubbish player but he is good at FPL (obviously his inside info on Dier helped!) #WorldNumberOne

I've heard about the Booze lounge in soi khou talo on the Darkside but was looking for a place in town

Better check with wilai. I'm not an expert on Pattaya.

i know its only the mirror but i've had an inkling that he'd be the surplus 'wide man' saying that out of them all i thought he looked the sharpest

and certainly most effective against the spammers

I reckon the club would take 15 mil whether he'd go, is another matter, rightly or wrongly it aint easy to get in the England squad at Southampton..

I can't understand Spurs being happy to let Townsend go.

[smokie36]

That's BS.

I reckon Spurs would let him go if it meant getting Schneiderlin !

Then replace him with someone like Depay !

I am told Schneiderlin (number 1 son contact at the Lane) is all but a done deal. Likely to be a late Levy last day job though.

Fortunately your understanding is completely irrelevant and is just background noise (thanks chic).

As a spurs fan I have trust in what our new manager is trying to do. If Townsend exits as part if the bigger long term picture, then so be it. If Schneiderlin comes I will be chuffed to fluk

Already excited for tomorrow night. Would love to see Harry in behind Adebayor. Lamela to stay glued to the right wing. Holtby on the left with instruction to track back and cover for Danny Rose with his inevitable thrusting runs down the left. COYS

I think there need's to be a lot of comings and goings to get to what Poch want's, hence another transitional season ! I'm not sure even Eriksen fit's in with him.

I would have thought last season was a total Coq up rather than a transition

Well I'm hardly saying because we lost am I, anyway, whats the amount of games got to do with it ? new manager, new players, is always going to be a transitional period just like you had under Brendon !

[iancnx]

A Transition is exactly what we need. All other lurking supporters can trot off back to their own threads and sort out their own teams. The future looks bright for Spurs. To make the top 4 will be very very tough. Likewise each of the top 4 will find it very very tough to maintain their performances of last year. For example, across at the Emirates it seems their support is dwindling. I understand from a reliable source that are having a hell of a time filling their hospitality suites.....

[smokie36]

There is no expectation on Pochettino to get a top four spot amongst the fans this year.....however there is to play quality attacking football.

If he gets that right we will all be happy.

Most of these players have been playing together for more than 12 months now, you've only bought Davies, Dier and a back up keeper.

Bought a ton of players last summer and one of the excuses then was time to adjust, now the excuse is a new manager with 37 games to go. Sorry but I just don't see how all this talent brought in will now take a season to adjust to playing for a brilliant manager, unless they are completely thick.

Brendan polished an average side in 4 months. Poch took 5 minutes at Saints.

My point was that i think you'll do well, but I think it got lost in winding Alfie up

[uptheos]

I read somewhere that they are interested in Chicharito and Fellaini.

I do love the early season optimism.

Funny, you were all bright eyed and bushy tailed exactly a year ago as well.

It was only a question of time for the media to catch up with what I was saying 4 weeks ago. Spurs to win the Premiership.

Lordy, lordy. What a broad. Can't say more or Jellydog will be on my case for hypocrisy. Thanks for the post Ian - have you got her phone number?
