Fair enough. Of course I've seen plenty of Carroll this season, I watch pretty much all spurs games, unless it's cup tie that's not streamed. Killer passes are all well and good but only if you have an assassin on the end of them. Personally I would have brought Lennon on instead of Carroll, and that's what AVB did.
Dempsey is creative, so you're definitely wrong there. He's provided some lovely assists and passes this season. He probably isn't as creative as Holtby, but I'm pretty sure he has more assists than Lewis.
If anyone shouldn't have played it was Hudd. We needed Lennon. Attacking Parker i can't agree with at all.
Mind you, you wanted to start Carroll, Hudd, Holtby and Siggy mmmmm
Whoever you are, I actually make you right on this. I really honestly try to convince myself otherwise, but I`m afraid I genuinely believe would rather us finish 5th than inside the top 4. He`s a businessman, first and foremost. The footballing side will allways come second. A run in the champions league could bring in around £30 million, but also an increase in demand among the fans to strengthen the squad with marquee signings to compete with the elite. It also means he could in no way justify the sale of Gareth Bale, our one world class player.
Finish 5th, however, means keeping the excitement going `till the end of the season. Allways on the periphery but not quite making it. But, all the justification needs for selling Bale for, say , £60million. At least double what any CL exposure would bring. Plus the added excuse of not attracting world class players and paying top end wages to players who want Cl football. I`ve followed this club passionatel for many years, and I`ve never felt more convinced about anything in my life. I`d so much love to be proved wrong, but sadly, I dont think I will be. :avbpray:
This is the single most ridiculous thing I've read on this thread, and I've read all PhillyHotspur posts
Why on earth would he purposely hold us back in order to sell one asset for 60 million?
Making champions league increases the marketability and value of the club massively. What happens when bale leaves in your amazing conspiracy theory? Does he find another once-in-a-generation player to sell for 60 million I'm a couple of years' time?
If we don't qualify this year, do you think the fans won't demand investment in the squad? If anything we'd want it more, but be less able to provide it due to lack of champions league income (and draw for the players in question)
Two games running that a straight red offence is committed and we don't even get a free kick. Meanwhile the goons get penalties for losing tickling contests, offside goals and 75 minutes against 10 men.
Seriously? Again? That was clearly offside on Walcott, clearly, yet they get away with it AGAIN.
United had better fucking sort themselves out here
You're just not that sharp sometimes, are you? :adelol:Huh ? That wasn't me bro.
But you do love a neg rep. Only having a laugh, calm the fuck down and stop being such a pussy mate.You're just not that sharp sometimes, are you? :adelol:

Wasn't insulting your point of view. I was making the point that you thought you'd been dug out for a post you didn't make, thus completely missing the joke jimmyriggle made.Whatever bro. Most of my posts are spot on. Yeah, a few might turn out to be wrong. Again, that's why we call them POVs. Do you see me calling them facts ? Either way, I can admit when I'm wrong.
At least I'm not insulting other Forum members b/c they have a POV

Read the last page back. And then feel free to remove yourself from your high horse.I'm the pussy ?
Again, you see me taking personal digs at Forum members b/c they have a different POV from mine ?
You take personal digs. I click the dislike button
Read the last page back. And then feel free to remove yourself from your high horse.
I read it. Again. He is implying all of my posts are moronic
You piggy backing it by implying I'm not smart enough to understand his personal dig at me.
Trust me, I'm not on a high horse on any level. And not calling other forum members "pussies"
No offence Intended matey. Was just Alluding to the fact that most on here disagree with quite a bit of your tactical opinions and the. Suggesting that the guy i quoted was even less agreeable.
You're welcome to your POV but if you didn't feel comfortable with pushing opinions that may be unpopular then you wouldn't do it in the first place.
Amiright?
