gallas was redknapps signing and a good one.
sandro was not harrys signing though. he even said he hadnt seen him play
Suffering :
I am not a true Y-i-d in that like Spurcat etc, am at WHL thick and thin etc. But I am truly Spurs in that I expect, and demand, that whatever adventures the club goes on, that they PLAY the Spurs "way" .
To me, that means I am happy for the club to give me the years of 81-87, 89-90 etc, even though I have never seen the heights of 60-61 (and perhaps never will) .
I respected the Liverpool of then for the empire they built, but nowhere near as much as I LOVED my Spurs for the joy of watching those teams silky smoothness with the odd trophy to boot.
That is the Spurs I want the board, the manager, and the players who come, to buy into.

I know that is not entirely Harry's fault but......
What manager would allow a player to be signed without actually seeing him, Thankfully it worked out (or so seems to) but this is another reason I am so p1ssed off with football these days. Managers manage (unless your 'Arry in which case you just talk to the press and then hope for the best on the pitch) and chairmen hand over the moolah if it is available.
suffering. you are being way to hard on harry. i personally dont think he is a top manager.. hes a good manager.. but tactically he isnt quite there. i cant see him taking us much further than where we are but then there are very few that can. i am not his biggest fan but honestly i think you are way off the mark on this.
Spurcat :
Wasn't Bale moments away from being chucked overboard on loan to somewhere, before he got his run and purple patch in the team ??
That aside, that is why we need you here.
Mob rule will break out otherwise.

finish all of our chances *
Bring in Gus Poyet
Such a great job at Brighton, promotion, sitting pretty unbeaten at the top of the Championship and they play great football on a shoestring budget due the Amex.
Spurs connections, great personality, bring the best ot of the players and play the spurs way.
POYET!!!
No matter how many times you write it, you are still a PRAT.
"Citeh did well to convert nearly all their chances"
Come back to me boy, when you can read basic English.
Point was, 6 or 7 wouldnt have flattered us.
man citizens it may be true but we are not going to start kissing your bottoms are we.
Lennon improved?!?!?!
Gomes - at least temporarily but back to his default settings
Bale - Yes but soon found out.
BAE - Always was good but never had the outlet that he has now.
Huddlestone - Getting slower and lazier with every passsing game!
Rose - Can't judge as have no reference point.
Look..... I'm not saying we should have beaten either of the Manchester teams but the manor in which we lost both games, the sloppiness of our pre-season, the open mouth policy of Redknapp, the ineffectual transfer windows, the same old tactical weaknesses that inflict us...... I can't forgive that. I don't expect us to get 4th this season but what I do want to see is a general forward movement and improvement (however slight) from the manager. I have seen no evidence of that form Redkanpp.

the sloppiness of our pre-season
------------------------------------------------------
Please explain.
Harry or the coaches?
------------------------------------------------------------------
You tell me. You seem to know it all.
didnt harry come out and say this is the worst pre season he has ever had? i am sure one of my mates mentioned that on the way home today.

I probably am..... but I'm a romantic. Football is a simple game ruined by money. I'm not going to throw accusations at City or Cheslki as they have done exactly what we would have done in the same position. But at the end of the day the premiership has turned into Formula 1. How are you supposed to be competitive against someone with a faster car than you?
But Redknapp and his staff have failed to capitalise on the great opportunity we had last season. We saw how this team could perorm against the best. We saw how they could fight when the chips were down. Sure it's the players fault as well, a very large part but ultimately 'Arry screwed up. Not once but twice. I'm used to Spurs being a mid-table also-ran (in the same way Chelsea are without the money) so this isn't some delusions of grandeur, But these players are capable of so much more, have achieved so much more. So excuse me for hating them for two abject performances they have given for wages I can only dream of.
Suffering :
Not a good analogy (faster cars often come thru better R+D, not necessarily money - let Ferrari tell you this in the days when they outspent yet were floor wipes for Maclaren and Williams etc) .
The best analogy ever given on Spurs 606 was the poker player who cannot compete because he does not have the biggest pot - his superior skill at the game re his opponents counts for nothing.
The RDBD (5 days until #freeluka- ) (U1062)
But the more money the better the R+D (hang on......am I turning into a Communist?!?!)
Success breeds success, as it should do or what's the point of striving to be the best. (e.g. Liverpool in the 80's). But the problem with football is that the gulf between success and failure is so vast that it has distorted the competition. Again, no clubs fault but UEFA's instead. Then that has bred this situation where some gormless, layabout playboy can buy a club as a way of trying to compensate for the fact he has a very small John Thomas.
(And Ferguson spent a lot before he got it right a la Ferrari...... just one goal away, allegedly, from getting the boot.......... there might have been a point to that but no idea what it was....... ok ignore it).
So we had success..... relative and pointless in my book (I can't celebrate finishing 4th)..... like others before us. Yet they capitalised and we didn't. A hard pill to swallow.
Suffering :
No empire lasts forever.
I never believed Liverpool would fall.
After 1990 if you told me they would never have won the title again I would have had you sectioned.
A Spurs climbing to the heights again prudently (youth development, good mixture of squad/star players, managing NET spend - for all the muppets who don't understand this concept and how Spurs excel at it etc) , is something I can wait for.
