    Summer 2015 Transfer Window DISCUSSION Thread

    Hi Simmo, excellent comments on Benji. I wouldn't concern yourself about my disagrees. Most/the vast majority of them are a childish waste of cyberspace from various members of my 'fan club'. Clearly, there was some sort of problem with who/why signed Stambouli. Fact is, he is a decent...

    Your Worst Nightmare

    We mess up our move and end up homeless. More realistically, with the fantastic deal that West Ham have got over the OS, they begin to challenge us in a serious fashion.

    Summer 2015 Transfer Window DISCUSSION Thread

    I see instead of apologising for his mistake, one of the more ardent members of my fan club resorts to a stupid GIF. Again, why am I not surprised :thumbup:

    Article The Tottenham two percent

    I've no idea if we're playing Moneyball, 2%, or lucky dip. What I do know is we have our worst trophy haul since the 1930s under ENIC, so clearly whatever we're playing ain't working. We're certainly not a selling club, as I've been saying for many a year we're a trading club. The Stambouli...

    Summer 2015 Transfer Window DISCUSSION Thread

    Just for the record, I asked for Benji to play time and again last season, and complained many a time about Poch not using him. To say otherwise is either careless, a lack of paying attention, or a loaded agenda. No surprise if any or all of the above are correct in some cases:thumbup: So often...

    Article The curious case of Benjamin Stambouli

    Good article, poor management by Poch and while we made a bit of money on Benji, the Stambouli saga doesn't reflect well on the club.

    Summer 2015 Transfer Window DISCUSSION Thread

    Good move for a good player. Frustratingly under-used and undervalued by Poch, still it's worked out well for Benji. He's moved on up in the world to a CL club with realistic title ambitions in their own league. I'll be looking out for their results now and cheering them on (except in the...

    The Olympic Stadium thread

    I see plenty of people continue to be in denial over the OS. Obviously if the degrogatory things many Spurs fans have said about the OS and West Ham's inability to fill it/make a sizeable amount out of it are true, then West Ham are not getting an excellent deal. But in actuality they are...

    Stadium New Stadium

    Well clearly many Spurs fans don't think West Ham are getting a great deal, because on this forum and others I have read many comments such as 'it will be flop', 'they won't get any significant added revenue', 'it will be half-empty', the 'seats are like deckchairs', 'they used to own their...

    Hi DG, AFAIK, West Ham can only block us in their first year at the OS, but we would need it in their 2nd and perhaps 3rd year there, so they cannot block our sharing the stadium. Of course they can oppose it, and probably would. There are various problems, and they have been discussed many...

    Fair enough, each to their own etc. You are wrong that I totally dislike/distrust ENIC, I have praised them on many occasions. Indeed on this particular issue I am not criticising them at all, though certain people, including perhaps you, are misreading what I say. I am simply saying that ENIC...

    Summer 2015 Transfer Window DISCUSSION Thread

    Been worried about this all summer, and have posted my concerns on a number of occasions. We should have got in a new striker in January, to fail to do so before we travel out to Germany for the Audi Cup will be poor, verging on scandalous neglect of our key area that needs strengthening.

    The Prem aren't trying to block our move to MK. They are saying we can't play Prem games there and at Wembley in the same season. Incidentally we might be able to play Prem games at MK Dons and European/domestic Cup games at Wembley, as non-Prem games presumably fall under 'non-Prem'...

    Hi Dixie, I have already explained what would constitute 'it all going wrong'. I'm surprised at you not reading my posts before being critical of me. I'm used to it from many others hence no need to reply to them. But for you I'll make an exception at explain again. It could all go wrong if we...

    AFAIK, Milton Keynes would be acceptable to the Prem, and I guess this is where we are likely to end up, despite it not being to the liking of many Spurs fans. The problem isn't Milton Keynes per se, the major worry for me is if it all goes wrong for some reason, and we then end up effectively...

    As I have said many a time I'm very worried about our 'temporary move'. Leaving our fate in the hands of another club, Wembley, whatever, is something that makes me very nervous. We stand the risk of becoming hostages to fortune, or more precisely, ill-fortune. What happens if the building...

    Summer 2015 Transfer Window DISCUSSION Thread

    I don't know. But he looked sharp v Southend, and with enough physical strength, power and pace to hold his own in the Prem. I guess he'll get loaned out, but unless we've got in a couple of strikers/forwards it might be better to keep him. I hope he gets a chance in the Audi cup.
