    Stadium New Stadium

    Thanks for the replies. I'm probably just worrying too much. I really do like the plans and was delighted when the single tiered end was unveiled. Juventus, Bayern, Dortmund and others have shown what is possible with modern stadiums, ie, they don't have to be soulless, corporate cash machines...

    Stadium New Stadium

    Nothing confirmed though? They say the big terraced section is designed to generate atmosphere, which is great in theory, but it will still need the right types of fans there, who will need to be policed a bit more.... diplomatically shall we say. I just worry that deep down Levy and the suits...

    Stadium New Stadium

    Hey folks, haven't been here in ages so apologies if this has been discussed many times before... I'm wondering what the plans for the new stadium are in terms of distribution of tickets/fans. It's obvious that West Ham have completely fucked this up, families with kids are in with the hardcore...

    "Yid" chanting...

    It's a racial term, just like Jew/Jewish. The question is whether it's an offensive term no matter the context. Yid/Yiddish is used to describe the European Jews and their language and culture, ie European Jews didn't speak Hebrew in everyday conversation they spoke Yiddish. Much of American...

    "Yid" chanting...

    Could someone explain to me why the word Yid or Yiddish is deemed offensive at all? It's a term that's been around for a very long time, used amongst Jewish people. Yiddish was the international language of the Jews in Europe, much of American Jewish culture derives from Yiddish culture rather...

    History Alf Ramsey

    great stuff, thanks, I love these trips down memory lane have you (or anyone else for that matter) got anything on Arthur Rowe? would love to read more about him, especially about his time in Hungary. seemed to be a very important but rarely mentioned (except by Spurs fans) figure in the...

    5 Reasons Tottenham Are The Most Progressive Club In The League

    You've got to love Laudrup really, one of the very few players to remain a legend at both Barca and Real. Beautiful player who always kinda reminded me of Hoddle actually, so stylish, seemingly effortless at times. And to top it all off he seems like a genuinely nice guy, no great ego or...

    5 Reasons Tottenham Are The Most Progressive Club In The League

    Haha, was just about to post about that too, what a load of bollocks! Cause Wenger said so, it must be true! There is nothing socialist about paying millions to young blokes kicking a football about no matter how good at it they are, nor is there anything socialist about paying the manager over...

    Ridiculous goal, it's getting silly now.

    Article Is Gareth Bale World Class?

    Yes, Bale is world class. I don't think comparisons with Ronaldo are way off. I mean Bale's still a way off where Ronaldo is at now, but compare him to Ronaldo when he was 23 and there isn't much difference, in fact Bale probably has better end product than Ronaldo did at that stage...

    Transfers January 2013 Transfer Window DISCUSSION Thread

    Maradona played for Spurs (once), check my avatar! Apparently we did look into getting him when we bought Ardiles and Villa, but the Argentine govt weren't willing to let him leave the country at that stage, he was still a teenager at the time, but already a star. Another story says that...

    Colin Murray No More

    another thing that fucks me off is pundits and commentators not knowing/understanding the current laws of the game, mostly due to willful ignorance about a game they stopped playing years ago here in Ireland the analysis is much better, I remember during the recent Euros there was an incident...

    Colin Murray No More

    yeah, it depends on the guests really, but it at least avoids that all pervading stench of stale old man by switching it up regularly

    Colin Murray No More

    Another thing, MOTD2 had been better than Saturday's MOTD for the past 4 years or so. But recently Hansen et all have started regularly appearing on MOTD2 cause most of the big games are on Sundays these days, now both versions are as bad as each other really.

    Colin Murray No More

    I definitely think there's a place for analysis of the games alongside highlights, the problem is that MOTD doesn't offer any analysis at all, just cliches and bullshit. I don't have much time for Murray, found him annoying, but Shearer, Hansen and Lawro are infuriating, they're an insult to...

    Women's football

    she was put on a pedestal by those morons at Sky, remember? after that she was under intense and unfair scrutiny way above what any other lino would be, it must have been difficult for her, she never asked for and probably never wanted the attention. luckily she is very good at her job, but in...
