I think we discussed that a while back, for the Madrid game, a Man U fan got a membership and a ticket on the same day. Disgraceful. Loyalty point system will need revising for the home Champions League games (if we make it) next season.

ThisGuy said:I posted this on the NYSpurs board:
There's a rumor going around that a certain prolific Dutch striker for a North London club has put in a transfer request after a defeat to a Manchester club on Sunday.
The rumor is unsubstantiated, and probably false.
However, let's say that it is true (and that Spurs could meet any wage/fee demands made) -- would you take him?
Discuss, especially in light of the impact Ade and Gallas have made (or not) since they came aboard.
Jose's teams are more often than not, dirty cheating fucking cunts, loads of gamesmanship and it's generally a circus. Also, his teams are largely dull. The Chelsea team wasn't dull, granted. But if he manages Spurs, he won't be playing the Spurs way but we'd win stuff.Dru said:So Chelsea werent winning things with style when they had Robben and Duff as 'wing forwards' winning the league?
Also, its Ancelotti's team that have the record for longest without conceding a goal too, not Jose. I think the critism of his teams is a bit of a false one becuase its literally the ONLY thing anyone can think of to beat him with so its overhyped.

"Bill Nick always wanted us to win with style and entertain the fans. If we won a game and had played badly, he was disappointed." - Cliff Jones, 2001.
Dru said:Which is why we get Jose for 3 seasons, win everything then get Ginola as manager, play breathtaking football but get relegated then Martin Jol comes back, wins everything.....cycle complete. Ecstasy then Agony, followed by ecstasy. Lovely jubbly.
Dru said:Calm down Seto, only having a chuckle.
One of the reasons I dont want to lose Redknapp as he knows our history and the importnace of our legendary players.

I'm not getting uptight fella - truly not.
Do you really think Redknapp gives a shit abou tour history and legendary players??? I don't think he gives a shit about anything but himself.

I'm sure he gives a shit in terms of how football used to be.
I just mean at least he knows who Blanchflower and Mackay are/were to this club. I doubt Jose/Hiddink and the like would do.
Yidden Agenda said:Might be a bit late to pick up for your podcast tonight, but I'd love to know TFC's opinions (and other Yids obviously) about a change of mentality at the club.
Mainly concerning all the decisions that go against us. I'm sure there's more but... Stoke, City, Adebayors 3 onside goals being flagged offside.
I love Tottenham, but I also consider myself a realist and like to think my bias can still admit when we're shite or lucky.
Everybody says decisions even themselves out over the course of a season, but, where the fuck is our karmic balance?
My query about a change in mentality is this. Every time a crap decision goes against us we seem to whine for a few seconds then shrug our shoulders. Ah well. That's sad but...
If any of the above decisions went against Ferguson, Wenger, Mancini, Villa Boas or Dalglish they'd be crying for weeks to anybody that'd listen. Putting out statements, pressuring the officials in their next games, etc.
Maybe wrongly, but I'd prefer Harry to come out and take an FA sanction (maybe not him this week. He has enough issues/worries) for slagging the ref. Slag anybody. But make them think that the next dubious decision won't be as easily forgotten. Rant. Moan. Bitch
Be a cunt. Fight for us.
Sorry if this rambled on a bit. Hope you get my drift.
