    Match OMT: Tottenham Hotspur v Crystal Palace

    :smesh: Proper. Pulis throwing his 'Murican hat all around like he wants to kill someone with it. Which is not unheard of (in 'Murica).

    It's Hoddle

    If you're right I wonder will the disabled boycott the club. The man is a legend but absolutely nutso.

    England Squad vs Chile and Germany

    There's a reason Townsend has impressed for England a bit more than for Spurs (arguably): the pitch at Wembley is massive. If our new stadiums isn't at least as big as the scums I'll be livid.

    World Cup Qualifiers

    Been messing around with this: http://ultra-zone.net/2014-FIFA-World-Cup-Group-Stage-Draws Some of the scenarios have as many as three or four of what could usually be called "groups of death." I know they always say this, but this could be a fascinating tournament. Here's the first simmed...

    Match Man City (A) - The Adebayor Derby

    With Eriksen out I wouldn't mind seeing a midfield trio of Sandro, Paulinho, and Dembele or perhaps Holtby in place of either of the latter two. Lamela, Soldado, and Lennon up top. Free reign for all three. Won't happen though. This international break has been thoroughly depressing. A loss...

    Adebayor

    Very strange that many (myself included) are more critical of AVB for freezing a former Woolwich player than for his tactics. Not to say I don't think we're a bit slow off the mark this year but when Ade was on song at the end of last season we looked much much better and that was AVB in...

    Article AVB’s Identity Crisis

    As nice as it is to have Townsend in the squad, he needs to be rotated with Lamela in the PL. If you have teams coming to the Lane not knowing which to expect they might not set up to deal with just one of them. I have a feeling because of his ball control, double-marking Lamela will be far...

    We need to talk about BVB

    Yep, Klopp is probably more overrated than AVB was coming out of Porto. Not to say either of them are bad managers but they have a lot to learn if they ever want to be half as good as SAF or (painfully) Wenger. I hope all the "Arsene, we want you to stay" people feel stupid. Their best ever...

    Atmosphere (again)

    Yeah that's what I meant. Also the unique case of Red Star Belgrade's firm as front line soldiers in the Yugoslavian conflict, though that was less like NF or any left wing groups in mainland Europe, but still anti-state (or against the state that existed at the time). It doesn't always, but...

    Current Valuations of Historical Players

    What year was this? Also I was talking hypothetically about a completely injury-free Ledley, just on talent and mentality alone.

    Atmosphere (again)

    The difference is that pub fights or even gang violence is often localized and containable, whereas football violence is very threatening to the establishment because it happens anywhere and involves a very large number of people. I think part of the reason the government in the UK took such a...

    Current Valuations of Historical Players

    If Ledley had an injury free career he'd still be playing today. At United. Take nothing away from his loyalty to Spurs but he was the most gifted English defender of the Premier League era thus far. They'd have come for him eventually. If Luka went for just under £35m, John White would be...

    Match Everton Away

    Whoever you are and wherever you're from, please fuck off back there to whatever sad existence you live.

    Match Everton Away

    Perhaps an unpopular opinion, but Lamela has to start over Townsend, Eriksen over Holtby, and Sigurdsson over Lennon vs Newcastle. Sadly, those three will probably start on Thursday.

    I see the media have turned on us

    Respect Hugo for wanting to continue. It's that mentality that makes him such a good keeper. No fear at all. No way it should've been allowed to happen. We're talking about a game of football vs a young man's future quality of life. One serious concussion not taken seriously can have a...

    Surfer flag

    Even I, a dumb Yank, know that Cyril fucking Knowles should be on the thing. Thats really my only qualm. Its a fucking flag not a letter asking to change our colors to red or move to Stratford. Will it change the atmosphere? No. Will it look cool? Possibly. Its not really that big of an issue...

    Match Tottenham Hotspur - Hull Tigers (Capital One Cup) - Block J 1945KO

    This on TV in the UK or am I going to have to listen to the fucking thing on BBC Online?

    Vlad Chiricheș

    I echo the sentiments of those who said he's very Spursy. I like him, despite him getting bossed by Sagbo on at least one occasion yesterday. (SAGBO!) I must have an affinity for flawed individuals/causes. That explains a lot actually. Anyway think he'll end up a cult figure for us & I'm not...

    Burnley Mascot, Berie Bee gets red card and "jail time"

    If they get promoted can we bring evil Chirpy out of retirement for a face-off?
