Tottenham thread

Thank god...we're off the mark in 08-09

when does Pavlyuchenko start playing??

I'm sure he's available for the next game, which is the weekend after this one (international games this weekend). We're home to Villa on Tuesday morning 16th...will be on Sky no doubt.

I return from the wops and we get a point against Chelski and sell a player for �30million plus. Clearly the first of this two is the more surprising although I wonder if the slightly inflated figure for Berbatoff left both clubs happy to avoid further litigation?

I think the inflated figure has more to do with Citeh's late bid than anything else.

Not super happy about picking up Frazier Campbell for a season's loan. I mean what happens if he has a blinder, he then goes back to Man Yoo with a season's experience under his belt.

Can see why we let Thomas Peckhart go to Saints for a season long loan, i'd rather he played and gained experience than develop Man Yoo youth...

I'm assuming an " 't" dropped off that one. Peckhart banged in the goals for the reserves...what of Campbell? I know nothing of him. HarryHotspur2008-09-04 21:57:29

Campbell went on loan to Hull last season and by all accounts had a blinding season as they gained promotion (they put in a 7m pound bid for him during the recent transfer window to try and secure him permantly), he's 20 yrs old..

Is he a poacher a la Bent or someone who can act as a foil to Bent?

I don't know to be honest, i don;t know that he;ll get too much game time, he will be the 3rd choice striker at best, so may get the odd cameo appearance and perhaps a full game in the Carling Cup etc...

Although in saying that now that teams are allowed 7 on the bench he might find himself on the bench than he might of previously. And if we're in the sh*t and need attacking players he may get on...

It really depends on what formation Ramos wants to play. He tends to like the 4-5-1 (or more specifically 4-2-3-1) which has seen Bent as the lone striker so far, but i guess they have bought Pavlyuchenko to play, so may revert to 4-4-2, or if they stay at 4-5-1, then it will be interesting to see who they favour.

4-4-2 would favour Campbell, as he would then be the sole striker on the bench, and subsequently more likely to play.

Will be fascinating to see the game against Villa next Tuesday to see who plays up front, and whether Corluka takes the field. He has been playing centre or right back for Man Citeh but there is some talk he might fill the defensive midfielder spot. My guess is he has been bought to cover for the King/Woodgate (injury-prone) partnership.

You're quite right, Tuesday will be fascinating. The competition for Midfield places must be intense, but I really hope that a 4-4-2 becomes the norm as i really don't remember THFC prospering too often with a lone striker (exacerbated if it is Bent!). Zakora must be a fall guy as I doubt he will retain RB once Hutton is fit..but who would have thought lennon being a fringe player based on his form of a couple of years ago? The combination of a poor shot and defences doubling up on him may have seen him 'peak' as it were?

campbell has pace, is good with the ball at his feet and a decent finisher

Cheers, Tigers. A bit of rocketing speed is good as often our forwards can't eep up with Lennon!

ROFLham LOLspurs

I really cant be bothered with a  mean comment. I just cant bring myself to kicking a man when he is down.

Nor even a Tottenham supporter...

Don't worry my dears, torment from Arsenal fans has absolutely no register...the self loathing however.....

It is hard work being a Spurs and Phoenix fan at the moment, thank god for the Warriors...

Stay off this thread you Gooner twat...when was the last time you lot won a trophy...???

You still ignored answering my question...

<!-- THE POST 174895 -->

and you...

you're not answering my question either.

Didn't realise it was a question...

3 years ago is the answer to my question by the way...2004/05 FA Cup

When's the last time Tottenham won a proper trophy Dougie. Tinpot Cup doesn't count.

A trophy is a trophy, they all count

I wonder how many Arsenal fans on this site have even been to the UK, let alone Highbury/Ashburton Grove. Bound to be a few I know, but the majority of you I assume have just jumped on the Big 4 bandwagon.

Chins up yids, things will improve. Be thankful you're not in the relegation spots of League One...sigh.

Jeez a bit of banter and all of a sudden....

Apologies Buffon II, I have a soft spot for Spurs due to one of their firms pretty much saving my life from a bunch of Chelsea c**ts a couple of years back at Seven Sisters.

Carry on your banter.

Football is nothing with out the banter...

You should have armed yourself with one of the several excellent kebabs available in the seven sisters vicinity DKP22. That would have sent Chelski idiots packing

And it gets worse...

Bloody f**k...

Tottenham can't actually get relegated can they?

Here's hopeing

My gut instinct would always say no, but this year we are without the strikers responsible for 75% of our goals in the last two seasons (in which last season was a very mediocre - yet generally normal mid table - placing).

We've never had box to box, ball winning, high scoring midfielders in my living memory and I don't see this season being any different.

Oh, and as usual, we'll rarely keep a clean sheet.

It is looking grim at this stage. Oh well, it'll make a change to have something to fight for after Christmas HarryHotspur2008-10-07 21:55:11
