Spurs Do Us Proud
By Molly
Oh that badge is looking mighty big right now....Against players supposedly on the way to the armpits of this world, I thought we were outstanding.
All we have to do is get behind the boys now. That's all we have to do. We slagged Gardner off all last season and now he's fitter he's looking like the player who made the England squad season before last.
If we can think about that for a minute and realise just how important our support really is to this young team, we will truly be going places.
Martin Jol is simply the dogs nuts! Is it me or does he seem even more composed and relaxed since "Stank Frank" has gone. He's the man in control and he knows it and it shows up big time!
Wingers, one touch, one of the best striker combinations in Prem League, cover in almost all positions and just handed to me, custard with me apple crumble.......Now all I need is Sol Campbell transfered to West Ham and my year would be complete.
Gown ya Lillywhites!

Do you reckon we have enough cover on the left? Tainio and Edman dont look too good after today.
we were promised a big signing this summer
any ideas who it could be?
We looked very good and a lot more skillfull, i liked routledge on the right a lot and mido was top class, all we need now is a top class midfielder like GUTI , D'ELLASNDRO OR JOE COLE... a bit of flair...
And then on to Europe!!!
but i wudnt complain if we got a big name attacking midfielder to add extra goals to the team.
Realistically Baptista won't come but D'Allesandro or Rosicky for £6-7mil would be gr8 for the team and bring 4th place that much closer. what do u guys think
we seem 2 hav loadz of money spare and i agree Rosicky or D'allesandro would add flare and goals!!!
wat do u lot think?
6m is worth a gamble but 7/8 is probably too much?
Rosicky would bring goals and carrick could sit back and cover for him.
also tainio looks gr8. hope his injury isnt too bad.
hu do u lot want to see at the lane 4 the start of the season.
i think martin jol got someone good lined up and i not gona argue
A flair player sometimes needs to have other players do the defensive work. Unless he's willing to track back and keep the shape of the team. Anyway, I guess I'd be happy to have either Rosicky or D'allessandro in the team.
Is he going to be sold or unfit to play?
id love to see a new big name at the club but duno hu u gona kik out cos they all earnt their place.
Keane was gr8 2day and i wasnt a big fan b4 but he has proved his worth.
id still lik to see mido and defoe starting come the middlesborough game
Just imagine what they'd be like without him?
I think the way Carrick plays, there is less chance of him picking up an injury, he doesnt get tackled too often.
tainio is class the perfect player to play alongside carrick he can create and also defend very well. box to box just what we needed
maybe a goalscorin AM and left winger 2 chaleng Reid 4 a place or extra cover at the back but that wudnt have to be big name.
hu du think we shud get?
wish we could contact MJ and tell him to get them!
im sure he knows what he's doin.
i'd like a dutch player.
Wesley Sneijder springs to mind (snap him up b4 chelscum do)
exactly what i bin hopin 4.
these too will be as gd as baptista and wont b interested in the arsenal
Or i reckon we should bid for Sjnieder.
What happened to Wilhelmsson.
hes gr8 and young and MJ knows him
you kids talk drivel,im ashamed you are spurs fans,although most of you have never even set foot in N17,let alone WHL
THE TEAM IS FINE,YOU ARE ALL OBSSESED WITH BIG NAME SIGNINGS...THINK
REBROV,THINK DISASTER,THNINK WHAT A WASTE OF MONEY...LET THE BOYS SETTLE FOR ANOTHER SEASON,IF A BIG NAME LANDS IN OUR LAP,AND FITS OUR TEAM STRUCTURE BRING HIM ON,,IF NOT,,,FUCK HIM OFF
Whatever is left from this year can be added to next year's budget.
with this team we will make Uefa no probs, but with 1 extra player...D'allessandro,Sneijder,Rosicky we will be pushin all the way for champions league
i can feel silverware this season
Reading match could decide where Marney's gonna be playing this season, team-wise.
we shudnt let Rebrov put us off from buyin decent players for evermore.
Rosicky would be gr8 1st teamer and we'd have top class cover then aswell.
we have the money and we shud use it to make us back into the great team we no and love
We would like to congratulate all of you for your fine and interesting comments over this weekend.
Our moderators are only on part-time duty at the moment, so it's good that many of you have and are being very responsible with your commenting.
Keep up the good work.
Best Regards
THBN Team
he knows what we need to get better and Levy will help him with the money.
we cant say no more players cos an xtra gr8 player would make all the difrence
i trust MJ and i fink we shud all get behind the players next year wiv no more slagin off and help dem on der way to 4th spot
dey wud hav told him about transfer targets in contract negotiations surely?
And we should all get behind the players and be more patient and not slag them off as soon as they make mistakes.

We will get better and better as time goes on.

ne ideas on hu we gona get.
ne1 heard new rumours from friends with contacts etc?
COYS
Hahahahah
WE THRIVE ON THEM EVEN IF WE DONT BELIEVE THEM!

But it's in our nature as we view our great club in such high esteem but have had too many years of dross, so we take it out on the manager and the players and the chairman and sometimes the tea-lady.
Our mentality has to change, and it will when we start reaching new boundaries.
With each season that passes, we will get better and better.
Players will want to play for us once more as the club will join the greats again and the crowds at the Lane will make the players feel like gods.
We have been known to have the best atmostphere in London when things are going for us, and we only have a 36,000 capacity. Imagine what it would be like if we ever had 50+,000 down at the Lane and things were going great!
COYS!
I have said it since I watched him play in the reserves 2 seasons ago....Marney will become to us what Gerrard is to Liverpool.
Many of you will think I have completely lost the plot, but mark my words. If he can continue to progress, then he will become a true Spurs legend.
What are his main attributes at the moment?
Good passer
Get's stuck in
The lad can run
Has a thunderous shot
Is good at dead-ball situations
Doesn't that remind you of what Stevie Gerrard is doing at the moment?
As long as he keeps his head on the ground and make new goals in training every week, then he will become what I am sure he is destined to become.....A Legend.
Handling, shot stopping, bearing down on attackers.
Me is quite a happy white bunny!
Err sorry cockerel.
I remember blowing my top off when Edman gave away that pen against Man U at WHL. I think I should suppress that kind of feelings a bit more in the future.
Keeping Radek happy might be difficult though. Arsenal might be sniffing around. They cant be happy with the 2 interchangeable clowns they have at the mo.
Has the man lost it? Everyone can see that they are both a pair of Y-Fronts between the sticks.
We bought Cerny for £300,000. He will have a sell-on value of minimum £4 million.
Arsenal can't afford that.
By leaving any purchases till the final hour, we can normally get them at the right price.
But then again, our targets may have been sold by then.
Levy is very astute and shrewd. He'll get what he wants.
Expect the rumours to have more credibility a week before the deadline. It's all media crap for now.
I am sure for every player we signed, there could be 2-3 that we'd lost to other teams which are bigger and play regularly in europe.
I hope we'll have this positive mood until the end of the World Cup!
I take it back
The boy is wasted at chelsea
WE PLAYED A GREAT GAME 2DAY AND BELIEVE WE CAN ONLY GET BETTER.
WOULDNT MIND A FEW SIGNINGS IN MIDFIELD TO HELP US BECOME MORE STRONGER AND HARDER TO BEAT.
WE HAVENT BEEN LINKED WITH "DENILSON" BUT I THINK HE WOULD DO GREAT ON ARE LEFT. STILL THINK WE NEED A BETTER BALL WINNER. DAVIDS WOULD BE GREAT AND HAS PLETY OF EXPERIANCE. THE LIKES OF ARE CURRENT MIDFIELD COULD LEARN ALOT OF HIM. I THINK OUR WEAKEST SPOT WOULD BE AN ATACKING MIDFIELDER. TAINIO HAS DONE GOOD SO FAR, BUT STILL THINK WE CAN GET SOMEONE BETTER TO SUPPORT THE STRIKERS. EMRE WOULD HAVE BEEN THE PERFECT MAN AT A GREAT PRICE, BUT NOTHINK WE CAN DO NOW. I THINK D'ALESANDRO OR ROSICKY WOULD FIT BEST FOR THIS POSITION.
DENILSON WOULD COST ALOT BUT WOULD BE WORTH IT.HAS BEEN LINKED WITH A MOVE AWAY FROM BETIS.
DAVIDS, I THINK IS A FREE AGENT.SO HE WOULDNT COST TO MUCH.
D'ALESANDRO WOULD MOST PROBALY BE MORE AVAILABLE THAN ROSICKY AND AT A REASONALBLE PRICE.
DEFINATLY THINK WE SHOULD SIGN MIDO ON A PERMANEN…
What with that guy who want denilson in our left wing?..ok we know he is dazzling in the mid nighties but that is 10 years ago.
But there is a question on his consistency though...
However when we do bid for some more "exotic" players such as Baptista, it seems strength and pace are requirements we look for. I think thats sensible.
Therefore the options discuss in this blog, D' alessandro, rosicky....I have my opinions... their undoubted talents would not contribute consistently to spurs cause.
He is quality and is exactly what we need... at least 8 goals in a season from midfield and would cost us max 7mil...and I think thats a price we should pay.Rather than the more exotic unproven option like Rosicky, which will costs at least 6mil.
COYS!!!
BTW, 2 great players in the same generation and league = Gerrard and Lampard.
That is why we should sign him for 3-4 more years. Getting into Europe is crucial, as well as cup runs. We will have more games to keep both Robbo and Cerny happy. I hope he doesnt mind doing a Cudicini.
Has anybody noticed that Ladbrokes have got us at 7-4 for a top six finish!!! We would have been about 10-1 last year.
... and is it just me or could Mido be converted to an amazing left winger. Pace, crossing and plenty of goals.
Not unlike Postiga's situation. 1.5m is a good bet, definitely better than writing off 11m.
cerny is ours on a loan deal.
mido is on loan also, should buy him now.
riquelme, villareal have him now so he's gone.
rosicksy, very good player but very small, could he cut it in the prem.
guti, star man at real 2 seasons ago as an AM, been played out of positition ever since to make room for raul. a true star with great gool scoring ability & has the added bite needed for the prem.
heskey, pffffffffffff he could only but dream.
baptista, very stylish but his agents are trying to get a move to barca.
saviola. a very good player on his day, maybe to technical for the prem but could play in the hole behind the front 2.
k.richardson, the player for the left hand side which most of you all think we need. my views are if we could get him sweet but if not reid is gonna be the man with ziegler as back up as he ca…
And please, no more short people.
Fucking dwarfs.
He'll always be competent, but never 'the man' dumbass
Honestly, Marney, El Hamdoui and Mark Yeates are probably the best set of midfield options with brown davis mendes carrick and tainio all fighting for the same 2 slots.
and if the signing comes it does, otherwise, molly's call to back the team when mido keano reid tainio and routledge all seem to be playing great football seems to be the wiser option as compared to moaning and pining for a "Big Name" signing.
Cant wait for 31 August.
COYS!
Can't see him going to Arsenal, they really don't need him. Hleb played so well for them. The scum are starting to piss me off, just as you think they've lost a massive part of their team they replace him with someone else talented. Davids would be a great addition to Spurs, we only need him for two seasons to lead the midfield, until our young midfield are capable of doing it themselves, he'll do the same job that Naybet did in the defence!
Too many people on this site just say no to people cause of their age and wages.
He would massively raise the profile of the team and be a rock for the midfield to rely on, and an obviousley talented player.
We get to assess him in Europe and another half a season of premiership. See if he can better his 11 goals last season.
Just heard that the scum are close to signing Baptista... Don't know how close tho', and that is according to the Sevilla president...
Another chance (albeit a long shot), goes begging...
LT
However, I AM looking forward to a decent FA cup run and a top 6 placing this season.
COYS.

Hmm.. What do you think lads?
Tubzter
what the website??? i wana look
davids wud b good 4 cupl of seasons
what website was it
prove yourself!!
Benjani (that's what everyone calls the lad) plays for French side Auxerre but is desperate to leave the club.
According to the Daily Mirror, he could be on his way to North London.
Everton and Lyon are also being linked with a move for the 26-year-old.
wud b gd tho..
dubl deal wid Richardson
Someone wrote to the site and said that Roy Keane should leave ManUSA and go to Spurs. There was a link to the letter that said otherwise earlier, but it seems gone and the letter is now buried within a lot of other emails about him.
My mistake...
Tubzter
i fink Sneijder or Roscicky wud b gr8 4 us.
ne ova proposals or rumours, whateva sourc u mit get dem from???
Tottenham savour title glory
On July 24th, a team went unbeaten in the Piss Cup. That team is Spurs
Jermaine Defoe.
Victory parade in pictures
Millions of Tottenham fans took to the streets of London as the team paraded the Piss Cup trophy.
North London was a sea of white and blue and Tesco's £4 jeans, as fans cheered manager Martin Jol and his players in their soft top Bedford Rascal van.
Big fat Dutchman Jol, and a host of others took to the town hall balcony to make speeches and savour becoming the first team since 2004 to win the trophy.
"I feel privileged to share a historical moment in the life of Spurs with you," said Jol.
Goalscorer Robbie Keane who was in floods of tears of joy, added: "It has been a fantastic week, we achieved something unbelievable but we couldn't have done it without the fans."
Jermaine Defoe said: "It's a truly monumental day, wh…
he sed experienced but other clubs want him...
ne ideas.
hu got nemore rumours dey got from different sources i keen 2 hear dem
my source (who gave me the arnesen/chelsea mumble two days before it came out) said that baptista is all but done.
should be unveiled any day now
does anybody have any worthwile rumours that they have heard from friends or websites etc.?
COYS
Too right mate!
What's good for me this time, is that we have some decent players here and just need a few more to finish the puzzle - Turning up another 'Robben-type' signing before the window closes would be pure class. Someone to attack defenders (not in the Toon style!) cause havoc (again, not in the Toon style), win some free kicks and provide some defence splitting passes...
Tubzter
what do you want rumours for? i can make some up if you want. thats all they are anyway - made up.
"Tottenham Hotspur won the peace cup yesterday, there first bit of silverware since 1999. Spurs' young midfielder Andy Reid said "we were fantastic this tournament, Arsenal watch out, we are gonna break you next season, and that skinny wretch manager of yours" Spurs easily defeated french side lyon 3 - 1. Tottenham Midfielder Dean Marney said "we came, we saw, we nailed these stupis french twats, now for the other french twats back in london, then the russians down south of the river, were gonna rain on evryboday ass, and thats the bottom line bitch"
Strong words, but tottenham do look very strong for next season, and are strongly tipped to qualify for europe. They might need a bit more height though, Chairman Daniel Levy said "I love our new signings, we picked the best dwarfs we could find, they are little so we pay them little. They dont even question me because t…
DO U BELIEVE YOUR MATE AND IS IT WORTH GETTING OUR HOPES UP?
And before the 'don't you dare put your club down gang' come after me, I'm being realstic not pecimistic
i presume he thinks Baptista is coming to us not the scum?
I think it might have been worldfootball.com... not %100
SJW
My mate is going out with his sister.
Kevin phillips is also looking to get out of Aston Villa, he says Birmingham is a crap hole so he'd rather move to the exclusive suburbs around N17
but if he was right about Arnescum then there is hope!
if Arnesen is doing this deal he would almost redeem himself.
we would only need to break one of his legs!
Eric's right though, he did do all that stuff, still think, he's lazy though, but that show's his talent, he plays well when we've got the ball, don't write him off just yet though!
i think he was great yesterday and i think he could be great all season.
lets get Becks and Victoria while we're at it
Reid is a decent player and will be good for us when he fully adapts to the EPL..
1 more great player and 4th spot could be ours
COYS
i would laff somuch if the £1.4 mil from the 'piss' cup helps us beat the Scum to the signing of the Beast.
hahaha i can imagin it now!
sorry i am anon but i am also spurs through and through and not like that other twat
YOU WILL NO IT'S ME COS I'M NOT TALKING SHIT!
he may look chubby but he got one of the best results in pre-season fitness training
who do you think MJ is in talks with.
someone said Baptista is close to coming but i find it hard to believe.
any other stories?
jol explained 'we are looking for a player to lift us, a big player with experience to help the youngsters. but those players are not easy to find either for the big clubs or for us, but we are ambitious.
sounds good. who do you reckon he has in mind.
i'd like to see a younger midfielder aswell like Rosicky or Sneijder.
your views?
COYS
Welcome to the community. Sorry some of the fans are fond of abusing each other, they are complete idiots who enjoy slagging fellow Spurs fans rather than talk about Spurs. A shame really, as ideally everybody should get behind the team and motivate the players rather than calling them tossers, fat etc.
i trust MJ and DL and they will get us someone great you'll see
it won't be Davids because MJ wants someone for the youngens to look up to. he wouldnt want 11 mini Davids complaining all the time. it will be a good roll-model and also a great player
who do you think the experienced player will be eric?
if we forced him into midfield like in 2003 he'll go somewhere else and no one wants that.
use our money to get someone else for the midfield role
he was great when we did then went off the boil when we stopped.
show faith and the players will reward us
the beast is def the 1
Jesus christ, you make me want to bang my head aginst a fucking wall
The Dence Dwarfs, thats your new name
SHORTY
Sevilla want to sell if we offer him big enough wages he'll come.
who do you think we should get then Shorty if you know it all?
MJ is obviously keen and we will get someone so do you have any ideas who it could be?
'i never asked what anonymous menas' I SAID SHUT IT GIMP BOY
SHORTY - OR 'THE GREAT'
I dont think we should or could buy any of the players we've been linked to,most importantly we need to keep the players we've got which i think we will. Dont panic buy and spend ten mill on some moaning shit who will just slate us off when he leaves and make us look like even more of a joke. I honestly think weve got the squad for uefa next year, then we can attract a better class of player, then go for champions league - three year plan baby, thats what Levy said from the start.
SHORTY - OR KING SHORTY, OR PRINCE KING VALIANT OF SHORTNESS,OR LITTLE FUCKHEAD
If you want someone like that in midfield then we have Huddlestone, who has a better touch a better pass and better vision. Ledley should stay as a rock, the amount of times he has put in a last min tackle that WOULD have been a goal otherwise could have earned us points last season, he reads the game so well from the back and leads the others.
I thought you wanted an attacking box-to-box midfielder, you can't seriously think that Ledley would be the man? he play more like Carrick!
re: reid v routledge
oppsite wings.
Reid v Ziegler
Lennon v Routledge
Is that right?
SHORTY
SHORTY
How do you know they bid 14 mill for the beast?
SHORTY
SHORTY
Have you WATCHED beto play?
Tell me the truth now, come on, tell the truth and shame the devil.
You lying sack of shit
SHORTY
Saleman are not to be trusted, remember that dumbass
And Reid aint to be trusted in Mcdonalds warehouse
SHORTY
and who do you think we are most likely to get?

Tubzter
where hav you heard it from?
i'm def not complaining i would just like to know
COYS
DO YOU KNOW OF ANYONE ELSE WE ARE GETTING
just a suggestion (which I stand by), looking for opinions.
Box-to-box midfielder - Dean Marney!
I think this bloke is gonna be the bolox!
How soon do you think Davids will be anounced as ours IF he is coming.
He was only on for a bit in the peace cup final, he took charge straight away, had a couple of shots on goal, created so much in the 7-8 mins he was on!
LT
anyone else heard anything worth hearing in terms of transfer targets
