smoggies v Spurs anyone going to this? I will be there in the away end - COME ON YOU SPURS Should be a decent game as we are scoring and letting loads in.
i have to say that is a load twaddle mate. Believe me we are NOT loved by the media NOT AT ALL. We are victimised, ridiculed and laughed at by the media who love to hate us. They constantly remind us that we are not a big club anymore and jump at any chance to have a snipe at us. Not just journos but bitter ex-players and rejects alike. But the fact is, if we weren't a big club anymore then why do they need to bang on about the fact? Losers, the lot of em. The same bunch who built up Beckham and knocked him down I don't think our fans are arrogant either. How many do you actually know? I don't think we have a god-given right to finish in the top 3 every year or whatever. All I want (and most Spurs fans want) is to be competitive and play good football on the floor like it should be. A star signing every now and then doesn't go amiss either. If you want to talk arrogance then I know many geordies (too many) who talk out of their arse about how big their club is, what they have done and what they are going to do. Well lets look at the facts...you are a decent premiership team, nothing more, nothing less. At the moment you are top of the shite league. You have not won anything worthwhile since 1969 so lets cut the crap about you being some sort of footballing superpower That is all
Have you got a radio? If so listen to Radio 5 or Talksport & you will hear arrogant Spurs fans. Lets look @ the facts: we are 4th in league, we have lost the same amount of games as Chelsea & ManUre, our defensive record is the 4th best in the league going off goals against, full houses for every home premiership game. Also look @ http://www.deloitte.com/dtt/press_release/0,2309,sid%3D2834%26cid%3D40394,00.html
as usual i'm going expecting a sellout for the first time since the geordies came to visit. should be a hell of an atmosphere beforehand. think we've got a good chance against spurs, we always seem to play well against them + their defence is shite.
And from your very own link: Tottenham Hotspur in 15th. The only team in the top 20 who have not had a sniff of Champions League football since it was formed. Fact. If we can manage 15th without such riches I look forward to the day when we do have Champs Lge football as will we be a lot further up that list believe me. Everything is in place to that end. Oh and you can twist facts every which way, we are the highest scorers in the league outside the top 3. Doesn't mean anything though does it Your facts would mean something if you were within touching distance of the top 3. But you're not.
I aint twisting them, they are what they are. You must be sick that a "decent premiership team, nothing more, nothing less" team like us are above you.
lies, damned lies and statistics. why would i be sick? I am only interested in Spurs and our own progress which at the end of the day is all that matters.
your statistics mean nothing! Do you go into a season with the aim of having the "4th best defensive record going off goals against"? I think not! The aims are in the following order for everyone: avoid relegation qualify for Europe win a cup win the league If you're happy with having the 4th best defensive record in the league at the end of the season then I'm delighted for you. We have the 4th best scoring record, a slightly more exciting statistic since it means we will more than likely be entertained at games rather than come away delighted at how our back 4 kept things nice and tight
True... I dislike Spurs and would love to see them go down with Leeds, although that is unlikely now. Pleat is one of the most obnoxios and arrogant people I have ever seen... I hope we stick another handfull past them
grr :evil: wot have we ever done to you lot? Noone likes Pleat at Spurs either and we are looking forward to him being moved back upstairs at the end of the season.
The stats prove we are bit better than "decent premiership team" the most important stat is we are 4th. I didn't think we would finish above Chelsea,ManUre or the Arsenal. As for aims we will get 2 of them, your lot will get 1
A sides stature is judged on it's performances against European opposition in the two competitions. You have to be in Europe first to qualify to be tested at this level. It's simple.
