Man United smashed transfer records for years and the current top 3 most expensive Prem players are Pogba, Lukaku and Di Maria. That ain't the fault of the oil men. Would you rather we all just left Man United to rule the roost Yes but United generate their own cash. Can't knock them for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smokie36 Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 What you are not grasping is that a premium has to be paid on membership fee to be on the list for a season ticket. 40000 are happy to wait what might be a very long turn. Hardly a crisis here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's make one thing absolutely clear though, I don't care one jot if Spurs go down the pan or your owners carry on ripping you off and pricing people out on ticket prices and yet not delivering silverware, you carry on . How was any of the above answering my questions, anyway i'll ask them again : Who was talking about it ? Levy, Joe Lewis ? no neither of them because Spurs don't talk about things do they ? and anyway why are you talking about seaon ticket prices in past tense when the prices have been out for months ?

Further to this many of us do not go to every game and that is true of season ticket holders too who sell them on to us. Everyone wins so I don't know why they are moaning.

Bredbury Blue Posted May 5, 2018 Share Posted May 5, 2018 Seriously though, at times like this you've just got to love football. WBA barely win all season, paint themselves in to a corner and then take 7 out of 9 points against the 2nd to 4th teams to give themselves half a chance of getting out of the corner. Love it!

carmine Posted May 6, 2018 Share Posted May 6, 2018 (edited) If we miss Dembele in his absence this much then we should just give him the contract he wants! This needed a deep lying playmaker to try to dictate the pace of the game because the West Brom defense was too compact and well organized to succumb to our slowish build ups. Admittedly they got lucky when Foster inadvertently saved with his head an attempt by Kane but generally they looked very controlled. Our stats looked overwhelmingly in favor of us but that would be unfair to the Baggies. This was an example of much of our undoing this season and one for Pochettino to address over the summer. I still feel many of his substitutions come too late to make the impact required and last night was a prime example with Lucas Moura. He immediately made inroads into the heart of the West From defense, raised the tempo we needed but it was too late in the game. I also felt Son should have been on much earlier to replace Lamela. I believe that Son and Lucas on for the full second half would have injected the pace and extra tempo needed to have gotten in behind their defense but keeping to the original game plan too long left too little time. It would be an astonishing tale if West Brom survived but fully deserved if they do. Edited May 6, 2018 by carmine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swansea host Southampton on Tuesday if either of them win then WBA get relegated. A draw would keep their hopes alive but Southampton have a better goal difference and Swansea's last game is at home to Stoke, whereas WBA play away to Palace. Still can't see them staying up even if they manage to beat Palace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lamela is one of the most frustrating players to watch in the team. After 4 seasons at Spurs, i still don't see what he offers the team? If he's not giving away silly fouls, he's running with the ball until dispossessed and falls over hoping for a free kick. When he gets into a scoring position 9/10 he messes it up, if he wasn't Poch's love child he wouldn't even get to start a game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does amuse me when i hear he's good in the press being hailed as his best attribute because that side of the game is a fundamental basic to any Pochettino side. But, when you consider he's fighting for his starting place directly against the likes of Son and Lucas it begs the question as to what he really offers that they don't. Quite how he merits a start over Son defies belief. And he doesn't seem to have the dynamic impact that Lucas can bring to a game. Jack of all trades, master of none?
