Jol Was The Significant Factor In Davids Joining

By Damo
For THBN

Edgar Davids is finally a Spurs player! How happy that made us all feel. I am sure the business markets suffered from the lack of Spurs fans at work. Or if they were at work, they were glued to the screen waiting for those special words; "Edgar Davids Signs".

Now that he has signed, we will get to see the real Davids. Lets not judge him by what many media mediums have stated in the past week.

At the press unveiling of our Dutch maestro, Davids was in buoyant mood and when asked if this was the first time on the White Hart Lane pitch, he said the following;

"It won't be the first time, but it will be the first as a Spurs player.

"I am delighted about it all, it is a beautiful place and I hope to have a wonderful journey.

"I was really delighted to finally write my signature and I am looking forward to training and playing with the guys."

When asked about Tottenham head coach Martin Jol, Davids stated that Jol was the 'significant factor' in him joining the club. Davids went on to say;

"It was an influence because I want to enjoy the game again. I know how Martin trains and I know how he gets his teams to play. This is very important.

"It is also a challenge here because for every game you have to be prepared and there is no such thing as a small club.

Edgar also knows what his main job will be in this young Spurs squad. He went on to say;

"They are very talented and I hope I can help them bring it out on the pitch - then we will be alright.

"I think I can help lift them but I think they will have to help me out as well because that is how it goes. We are fortunate to have a very talented team so I am confident we can have a good time.

"It is going to be hard because it is one of the best leagues in the world. I am just delighted to be here."

So we have our engine room sorted out. But who would you like Davids to play alongside in the centre of the midfield? My choice is Carrick, but many disagree and would prefer Tainio.

Who do you prefer, and why?

  1. why don't you play davids on the left and then have tainio and carrick in the middle - i thought those two played well together in the peace cup
  2. Tainio looks really good but haven't seen enough of him yet. Carrick has great vision and passing ability and with Edgar in the engine room, he should get time to do what he does best - control the game with his passing. Would be very interested to see Davids and Tainio together though....
  3. a pint of sucess please snap
  4. has to be carrick,davids[cant believe hes sighned]will be the driving force who can score and kick arse,i think carricks best pos is sitting back dictating the game
  5. carrick all day long for me. does get lost in games sometimes but his range of passing does remind me of glimpses of hoddle. tainio is very good cover for both carrick and davids.
  6. eddie has to play centre, you cant play him out wide, his game has always been in the middle, y would we change that?
  7. just having can of stella
  8. Hi guys.

    It hasn't always been in the centre, he has played as a left sided midfielder.

    THBN Team
  9. Anyone see Mendes playing a part?
  10. hopefully we now have the players to take the pressure off robo as the defence went to peices, cos no support in midfield now belive we have the team to keep clean sheets against chel but also beat them

    the yids are going to.......(where ever its now)
  11. My choice would be Carrick, but there is also form at the time to consider.
    Another way would be to shake it up a little and play all 3.
    e.g
    Robbo
    Stalteri King Dawson
    Routledge(wb) Zeigler(wb)
    Carrick Davids

    Tainio
    Defoe/Keane Kanoute/mido
  12. i would resign dozzel all day long
  13. edgar edgar he loves his poo
    theres only one edgar davids
    one edgar davids
  14. At last, someone who can grab hold of a game and make it his own. Look forward to watching ED run the midfield. The Carrick/Tainio debate is interesting, but not much doubt about what MJ thinks of Carrick. IMO, the centre mids will play back a bit, allowing them to distribute passes to the wingers, who in turn will get in the crosses that will be nodded/poked home by the strikers. This is how it's supposed to work, no?

    WM
  15. carrick was the one who was most talked about after englands tour. him alongside davids is an devastating partnership and i think best in prem!
  16. are they thinking of moding WHL?
    if so dont get them builders doing wembly would like to see it b4 i die. how slow?
  17. Like Brazil, Jol likes to play with two deep lying central midfielders, so I suspect he will opt for Carrick to play with Davids. Brazil however play with 3 at the back. I wonder if Jol will go along that route as we have sufficient CBs and MFs to cope, therefore he could play with Teemu as the playmaker in front of a Carrick, Davids combo.

    HotspurSam
  18. What about a back three of Dawson, Leds and Huddlestone? A bit inexpeienced, but formidable on paper. Big lads each of em.

    WM
  19. Henry is no doubt already trembling at the thought of trying to go through the giant Hud!
  20. respectfully disagree with you big dog on the Naybet placement. think he'll be cover this year, with his main worth realised on the training pitch where he can help Davids instill in the young 'uns a winning attitude!


    WM
  21. Doubt we will ever be short of strikers with five at the mo.I would play Davids and Carrick a lethal partnership, with Tainio behind the front two maybe.I think Routledge will have an excellent season,he looks ten times the player he was at Palace as he is playing with far better players.
  22. IMO big dog, the on-field experience at the back will come from stalteri, which is precisely why MJ got him
  23. watched newcastle game this evening checking out how they play, we wont have trouble beating them just got to watch for there dirty rotten cheating it was me fouls. and they still lost jokers..
  24. what about Brown, he really improved last season. Carrick doesn't put enough effort in for me.
  25. do you think jol should ring souness and offer to loan all our b team? that way they might get 5th just behind us again....

  27. jol like me like to watch any football, who cares why he there, maybe they have good hot dogs?
  28. perhaps thats the delay we been paying the wrong club again, think this last happened with rebrov asked for good striker and they sent the ball-boy...
  29. any one here??? its gone a little quiet
  30. is this the tottenham non debate site
  31. has edgar become captain??
  32. ok, a bit old news, News of the world [wankers] claimed on sunday that spurs would finish eight in the league. I DISAGREE.
    Here is my opinion on how we rank in each position;
    GK. 2nd behind chelsea.
    def. 5th behind che,man,liv,arse.
    mid. 6th behind che,man,liv,arse, new.
    att. joint 3rd with liv, behind man,arse.

    Now, if you average out these 4 positional rankings, we become 4th. Add to that the size of our squad, plus funds to add more quality in january and i think i can safely say the news of the world are talking shite.

    Do you guys agree?
  33. what a shame Viera has left

    would have loved to have seen Davids nobble him

    We dont need any more players!!

    Gelvis
  34. Hi guysh. So you are happy with our latest shigning, yesh?

    I am happy too, for sure. I am having a shtella to chelebrate.

    I think we will have a terrific sheason, at the end of it I am going to have the big party, you are all invited, but you may need to bring some suppliesh, yesh?

  36. chel keeper not better than robbo only one keeper i feel better than robbo is casis the guy at madrid but robbo hot on heels
  37. liverpool 9ft broken!!! reject with a ban at start of season carried over from last year i belive
  38. What all you guys are illustrating is our strength in depth. We also have the option to switch formations permanently or for key games.

    Although Huddlestone, Lennon and Co. may not get a lot of first team football, it will be important to keep them around players like Davids and Naybet rather than sending them to Stockport for the season. They get first team football but I think they would learn more in the reserves and at the training ground compared to the Championship or League 1.

    For the sake of it, IMO I would go for the Tainio/Davids pairing and see how much of a challenge Carrick puts up to winning his place back.
  39. Tainio and Davids... guess other teams mf won't even know what hit 'em !
  40. if we loan players it needs to be shit prem team that way they get top flight game against top 8 as well as try a little less against us we do hold the purse afterall
  41. sol was good, rio was good, but king is really good..

    you know why?

    money dont drive him football does and thats why he will be around for ever.

    COYS, 4TH PLACE BECKONS!!!!
  43. Kanoute, haven't seen him in any formation you guys have put up.. i agree with you all... he'll get a hard time if Mido keep doing what he's doing !
  44. will jol do lotto with team on fri night, lucky dip, cos everybody is good enough to be in.
  45. "has to carrick one of the best midfielders this country will see once he even starts to show even part of his extrodinary ability "


    say what ?
  46. Davids a good signing, but where are the goals going to come from in midfield if Carrick plays as well? We rely on the strikers too much.. All top teams have goals scorers in midfield as well !!
  47. edgar edgar he loves his poo
    theres only 1 edgar davids
    only 1 edgar davids
  48. this is so good dont think ive read so many happy thoughts on a spurs site in years

    long may it contiue

    goat boy
  49. where did u get that from??
  50. Robbo

    Stalteri King Dawson Edman

    Routledge Carrick Davids Zeigler

    Keane Mido

    Mido - Does anyone not remeber when he first played with Ajax in the CL? He was like the best thing in that team and looked wicked against our French neighbours. He could be the player of our season as he is top class.

    Then again, so could Davids or an improved Routledge.

    We don't need a goalscoring midfileder iof we have wingers and wingbacks that can get forward and run with the ball, cut in as well as play wide. Our players are developing into this.

    Remember Brazil?
    A solid core of four and 6 attacking players...

    We cna use this template... obviously I am not making any direct comparisons with our players here.

    3-5-2 or 4-5-1 (attacking style like Chelsea rather than dry and defensive like liverpool) will be tried this season too I think. We have ther players...
  51. who has spotted MJ there any way??
  52. Following on from my 'Brazil' formation.. Edgar Davids has a lethal shot on him (power). I expect him to get forward on occasion and contribute a couple this season. Tainio will be great for us too...

    Mendes should stay. I would rather see Brown go. Lots of effort, but not really the technical quality we require now...
  53. we dont need any new strikers! MJ has made that clear enough for all of us - why still even speculate about it!
  54. Supposedly Kuyt had a stinker tonight and missed an open goal.

    I don't think he's worth 10+ million.
  55. he's 25 - i didnt say we wernt going to sign anyone, just not a striker. Mj is very impressed with our strikers and they won us the peace cup - if we were going to sign another player it would be a defender
  56. We know what we've got with Robbo, King, Davids and Defo - a TOP CLASS spine to the team, better than the filth's, for example.

    From what I've seen Routledge looks the real deal.

    Also looking for a big season from Mido, who looks lean and hungry. Mido/Defoe my favoured pairing, with Keane off the bench to mix it up if needed.

    With a lack of goals from the central midfielders, Reid is our option on the left, like it or not. Jury may be out, but there's more to come from him.

    I like Ziegler too, but if you think back Reid delivers more in the final third, even playing below par.

    Dawson and Huddlestone, both class acts.

    Apart from hoping Davids reproduces his best form for us, I hope Stalteri turns out to be a solid right back, has anyone seen him play?

    All in all, we can look forward to the season with justified confidence. It has the makings of a real corker!
  57. viera whooooooooooooooo
    viera whooooooooooooooo
  58. Sorry, Carrick's a fcuking cockbag and a goat. Davids+Mendes feeding the flanks.

  62. awesome
  63. sorry but i still think davids is a waste of money.

    ditry monkey
  64. no-one, sorry it's been a long day. was celebrating
  65. COYS!!!! 31
  66. It is nice to see that some of the new players are on the spurs website banners. I remember seeing Santini come up a couple of months ago. Such a shock.

    Now we have Routledge, Huddlestone plus MJ and CH kinda hugging each other. Aaaaahh.
  67. i hate arsenal
  68. have vented anger at arsescum on arsescum blog. made me feel great and the first worthwhile thing i've done in weeks. looks like i've found a nu way to spend my days. anyone know how to get hold of edgar, i'm out of skunk and clucking. COYS
  69. why do you publish information that you get on sites like gg-net and topspurs???

    every artcile you have published saying that it was your source, have appeared (suspiciously i might add) just after an ITK source on these sites has given out info.

    if you are gonna use the info at least credit the person on the site and stop pretending you get the info from the club
  70. Funny that Arsenal fans have to post on our site, maybe because they are too fucking stupid to have their own. And if they do the conversation is obviously not that intellectual. The fact some gooner scum has taken the time to browse and hi-jack the blog means that he is very worried about the threat of the mighty Spurs next season. Encouraging.
    No news but bad news coming from scumbury.

    Long Live the King
    Long Live the SPURS
  71. Any idea what the script is with our team numbers this year? Everyone is reporting that Davids is five but what about the rest of the team? Usually they are released by now, no?

    LB-Edman
    CD-King
    CD-Dawson
    RB-Salteri
    LW-Reid

    CF-Mido
    CF-Defoe

    Subs
    Cerny
    Keane
    Taino
    Kelly
    Naybet

    Of course its a long season and other player will come into it later on but it just looks like a good team that will have a good season.
  73. Squad Numbers:
    1 Paul Robinson GK
    2 Noureddine Naybet
    3 Stephen Kelly

  74. I've enjoyed reading and occassionally contributing tot the discussions on this site over the last week, but I won't be coming back if it continues to deteriorate into unecessary abuse, comments about Arsenal and long messages containing chants.
    We can sing at the match. We are all spurs fans so its not acceptable to slag each other off, not our players.
    And there should be no Arsenal fans on here, so don't discuss them or their team and if any appear, ignore them.

    sorry to get on my high-horse, but I really wouldn't like to see these things degrade the quality of an otherwise enjoyable and lively discussion forum

    ROUT CARRICK DAVIDS REID


    DEFOE MIDO


    However one thing which I don't think we do enough of is when we get to half time or maybe 55 minutes and our opposition has worked out how we are playing and how to stop us playing, I think we should swap formation, make a couple of subs and send the other side into a period of confusion about who is picking up who etc. During this time we may then be able to exploit them. For example - whilst I would start with the team above, you could transfor the team into this with ONE substitution

    ROBBO

    STALTERI KING DAWSON


    CARRICK DAVIDS
    ROUT EDMAN

    TANIO/KEANE

    DEFOE MIDO

    Edman may be a risk as a left wingback, so perhaps the second sub (the first being Reid for Keane or Tanio) could be Edman for Ziegler. That still leave another sub left for the last 20 mins which would either be Mido for …
  76. everton want kanoute...

    ======================

    4 August 2005
    FOOTBALL SPY: MOYES IS READY FOR FREDI AND NEV
    By Neil Mcleman
    EVERTON manager David Moyes is planning a double swoop for Spurs striker Fredi Kanoute and Manchester United misfit Phil Neville.

    But Everton could face opposition for Kanoute (above) from Manchester City, as Spurs have told both clubs they can sign him for £5million.

    Both clubs have contacted White Hart Lane about signing the former Lyon and West Ham striker.

    David Moyes wants to reinforce his attack for any Champions League challenge. And Stuart Pearce, who has the Shaun Wright-Phillips money to spend, sees the frontman as the foil for new boy Andy Cole.
  77. Guys,

    We're now 6/4 with Ladbrokes for a top six finish!!!

    It was 8/1 this time last year.

    Anyone know a bookie who ever lost money?

    Get your passports ready, we're gonna need em next year.
  78. Davids will always start with carrick in th middle of the park.
    He did play on the left but Jol will not play him there as he doesn't have the pace of Routledge and AVM (he will be coning).

    But with a long season ahead and a expected long run in the cup, Tanino and Mendes as back up is great, in fact a reserve central midfiled players are proberley the best in the Prem.

    Look at our 2nd choice 11.
    CERNEY
    KELLY/NAYBET/HUDDLESTONE/???????
    LENNON/MENDES/TANINO/ZIEGLER
    KEANE/KANOUTE.

    Better than most prem teams
  79. He's our 3rd choice 11

    FULOP
    PAMAROT/DAVENPORT/GARDNER/BUNJ
    MARNEY/BROWN/DAVIS/HALFREDSSON
    HAMDAOUI/BARNARD


    We must have the biggest squard in the prem.
  80. MJ looked a big lump yesterday, who would win in a fight, MJ or Big Sam Alardice?
  81. MJ looks like he could take the north bank......... Stand, who ever runs will get one from me!

    His Jaw looks like it was made specially for chewing big lumps of grissle
  82. The Jenas rumour merits a quarter page in the Mirror today - apparently we're in negotiations with Big Fat Freddie Shepherd as we speak. Jenas wants to go too. Well that's what the paper says - as well as repeating the Kanoute/Brown/Davis rumours too.

    Whether it's true or not, don't think we've seen the last of the activity yet...

    Thoughts?
  83. Morning

    Im in the house,Bit hungover nice to see Edgar at the lane on TV or what.

    Whilst watching SSN yday afternoon waiting for the press con the headline was

    "Zidane and Makelele come out"

    New those two were dodge.
  84. Fed up with the Jenas rumours. He's a lanky streek of piss who will offer nothing extra to current midfield. If we want him for the future, dont buy him now as he wont get regulat football adn his value will decrease.
    I think the only reason we would buy him is to wind up the scum down the road.

    Kanoute is going, we are going to get kuit. trust me.

    as for Brown/Davis.
    Sell them. Fifth and sixth choice midfielders.Unless we want to win the reserve league as well.

    AVM will be the next signing. Its going to happen.
  85. All
    need a couple of line liners for best man speech.
    anything more than 3 lines I appriciate it but dont bother.

    ie my wife has everything a man could want, Big arms and a hairy chest!
  86. Morning people, i dont rate Jenas myself would rather keep what we've got. Would be a waste of money if we were to buy him. Anyone know if the rumours about Davis, Brown and Kanoute are true? Would be glad to see the back of Kanoute!!
  87. Sorry One Liners not line liners
  88. Kuyt is next

    Guarantee IT
  89. Edgar, when will it happen? Do you have any indication?
  90. Oh and dont all thank me for being correct about the press con yday

    THBN your Apology is accepted
  91. Didn't doubt ya mate, i believe i said, let edgar have the benefit of the doubt!!
  92. Kuyt

    I heard from the same source that tipped me off re the Press Conf that Jol is massive massive fan of Kuyt and is going all out to get him - I think it will happen this transfer window to be honest.

    If it does its bye bye freddie.
  93. Cheers Daveyboy

    Im still in shock and a bit stellered but how great was it seeing Davids at the lane yday.

    I bored my mates to bits last night poor fukkers.
  94. Morning all

    Never doubted you EdgarDavids.

    I can't wait for the Boro game now
  95. I know its been hammered to death on here but does anyone think Owen might join us?
    Man Ure - possibly
    Arse - said no
    Liverpool - said no
    Newcastle - why would he join them over us, especially after last nights defeat.
    At us he would be playing with a number of English players and stars like Davids.
    Would people want himt o join us or do we want a bigger target man?
  96. Agrre with big J andwhoever it was that said Dutch league is like EPL

    That why (i think) that all the dutch players that come here walk straight in to there prospective teams and do well straight off.

    Ie Robben,RVN etc

    Who was the last dutch player we had ?? was it Korsten ?
  97. This has nothing to do with spurs, but Glenn McGrath has injured himself in the warm up and might miss the cricket - i am V happy!!
  98. Ed, it was great seeing him last night. And as you said talked about all night with the lads down the pub, and wound up some gooners in the process!! Great fun!
  99. I'm going on Saturday!

    Starting XI
    Robinson
    Kelly
    King
    Dawson
    Edman
    Routledge
    Carrick
    Davids
    Reid
    Mido
    Defore

    Subs
    Cerny
    Naybet
    Ziegler
    Tainio
    Keane
  100. Lets cut the crap.

    We know Mido can supply a good ball from the left for the 2 dwarfs. We all saw it in the peace cup.

    so against the relegation hopefuls Portsmouth, West ham, Wigan (how did they get here) I would like us to go three at the back and 3 up front. Bag all the 3 points from the no hope sides + a hat full of goals. these teams know they are inferior to us and i know each one wants to donate 3 points.

    Against the likes of Man u Scum and the Vodka drinkers we need to change how we play in order to help them understand the real truth that they are now inferior to the super Spurs.

    Lets dish out some large portions of humble pie to them and each slice will be as cold as ice.

    Soft top
  101. Daveyboy

    At one point last night the waiter was clearing the glasses away I said "do you know who edgar davids is" Non - was the reply ( he was french) cue after that all of us nicknamed him arsene and gave him shit for the rest of the night.Poor sod.If hes reading this now,Im sorry mate.
  102. Disagree with the statement about the dutch league, look at Rommendahl for charlton and the missing link for chelscum. They did nothing, if a player is quality then he will do well!
  103. Yeah but rommedahl is shit.
  104. But he played well in the dutch league, thats why charlton bought him
  105. What is it with you and Reidy?

    THBN Team
  106. So what was there excuse with Francis jeffers then ?

    Who before any genius points out to me isnt Dutch.
  107. PISHSPUR

    What is it with you and not saying sorry to me for EVER doubting me

    ???
  108. Re "Lemon - "Not saying that he's tight but he dropped a pound in the pub and bent down to pick it up so quickly it landed on the back of his head!"

    All thanks for the gags

    Big D
    This has to be the funnist fucking joke I've heard in donkeys, and he is as tight as a ducks arse, do you know him??

    Ledley
    It saus in the current bun its for 2 years
  109. No idea, momentary madness perhaps?
  110. I believe Edgar has signed a 2 year contract.

    We dont need Owen. I think defoe and Keane will be fine for the next two years.

    kuit if the only striker who will help improve our strike force, at the exspense of Kanoute.

    Jenas is crap, dont need him.

    Brown is going, proberly Wigan.

    I dont think Davis will go to the Spurs reject team (Everton).
    He may go on a season loan to a small club (Portsmouth/Sunderland/Villa/Arsenal).

    Still need a proven International winger to finish the sqaud.

    AVM or Snijder will do.
  111. Boyz Boyz Boyz.... We dont need another left winger Ziegler is your man, remember him skining the ManUSA scum! The boy will come good! And Fatboy has the sweetest left foot in the Prem between them our L'Wing is sorted!
    I agree we should offload Carthorse does he ever look like he wants to play for us... No.. The overpaid twat should realise that its a privilege to put that shirt on and run out at the hallowed lane and not a paycheck! Its all about pride!
    If singing when your winning is anything to go by my throat is going to be raw!!!! COME ON YOU SPURS!!
  112. Daveyboy

    Who said that Jeffers was a "fox in the box"

    What a waste of money that was.

    Still happpily it wasnt our money

    That makes a change!!
  114. Anyone think we can actually win the title this season? We have strength and depth.

    We sould have won at old trafford last time we were there only a blind lines man and a week ref let us down. if we can do it at old trafford surly we can at WHL.

    Or does anyone think that even if we do challenge that the FA and officials will gang up on us to stop it (turning a blind eye to good goals at old traffors for example.
  115. Daveyboy

    Too right.lets think er Acimovic,bunjecevic,postiga,Richards

    jesus the list is endless,funny also that the 4 here and im sure theres more were all signed by Hoddle?

    Not coincedence me thinks
  116. Shorty whats your prob with Fatboy?? Get behind our players...encourage not belittle!

    How many assists will he get this season! He'll come good....
  117. There were some truely horific buys in hoddles era, shocking really, but as they say "Onwards and Upwards"!!

    Didn't brown have 11 last year?
  118. Browns squad number last year was No11. He will soon be off and Kuit will be given No.11.

    Im only guessing though
  119. Figlio, It was the chunks first season in the top flight, someone that large needs time to adjust... Watched him at Reading & Peace Cup, he's been playing ok, set Mido off twice to play Keano in in Lyon.... He's alright mate... Him Mido and Keano will get a good relationship built up this season.. you just wait
  120. Reidy is allright.leave him alone

    I was gonna say something about he will make you "eatyour words this season" butyoud just take the piss wouldnt you ?

    So I wont.
  121. Gardener is a big boy.

    Association of centre backs.
  122. Morning All.

    Happy days at the Lane...

    Phew! Neville P has signed the the scousers Mk 2 for £3.5m...
  123. Figlio, I do understand your frustration, if you watch Ginster play he doesnt enjoy tracking a player but can then play a great killer ball... he could be great just think he needs a bit more of an aggresive attitude, mabybe the pitball will bring it out of him by picking on him in the changing rooms... "Hurry up Cadbury!"
  124. Your telling me that Reidy is worse than Freddie ?

    At least Reidy tries running,

    Freddo just stands there dreaming of being in a Mali shirt.

    Andy Reid this year will be a legend.

    Davids will be a great influence on these guys,They will want to work harder to impress him also.
  125. I dont think we can take the top prize this year but in the next 2 years who knows.

    I dont think officials are gona try and stop us. Of couse they are not infuenced by Red face fergy or the point face french git. second thoughts maybe they are.

  127. Couldn't of said it better myself Edgar!!

    I've got a a weird feeling that Gerard is going to get an injury early in the season so the Scouse twats will be proper fooked!!
    Spankings at the Lane again then!!
  128. All I can say is how wonderful it is that we can talk ourselves blue (and white) in the face talking about the endless potential of this new look team. We have quality in every position (andy reid included) with 2 great players vying for every spot. Do we really need any new signings? The only one i'd be interested in would be Owen or Kuyt for Freddie.

    DG
  129. THBN are sorry for doubting you EdgarDavids.

    THBN Team
  130. Well said DG,

    Left Wing = Piemaster & Ziegler Nuff Said!

    Who's going to be Player of the Season???

    I'm going for either Routlege or Defoe.... although I do think Jermain needs to step his game up, havnt been that impressed in pre-season... What do you think??
  131. At last a bit of support for Riedy.

    Give the boy a chance, I think he'll come good.

    If he doesn't, then he can fuck off next season. In the meantime get behind him.
  132. you there ed?
  133. yep
  134. Andy reids fave film

    Jaws

    We will be testing the site on another location. We will let you know what that location is so that you can take a look for yourselves. We hope to have the testing server ready by the end of the month.

    On the new THBN site, we will be giving away prizes such as 2 tickets per month to a home game, great THBN T-Shirts, caps, shorts, etc, signed autographs, and we hope to have highlights of every game available by the following Monday after a game has been played (we are still waiting on Spurs to give us the ok on that one).

    Everton line up Tottenham striker
    By D Ferguson
    4 August 2005


    David Moyes is preparing a move for Tottenham Hotspur and Mali striker Fredi Kanoute.



    According to the Daily Mirror, the Everton manager is ready to get out his chequebook and sign the striker who they say is valued at £5m by the upwardly mobile North London club.



    Manchester City are also reportedly interested in signing Kanoute and they have money to burn following the sale of Shaun Wright-Phillips to Chelsea.



    Everton want to strengthen their squad ahead of their forthcoming Champions League campaign.
  162. The Neville Bros, were brought into the world by by Sven Goran Frankenstein, so he feels he has to play with them, oop's imean play them.
  163. Sven is also nob.Hes taking us backwards

    HOW THE FUKK is peter crouch and international player ????

    Wonder if we had a sign on clause when he left us ?

    Re anon -long old larry mate.

    Tho if you had 50k aweek you could do much better that Aunt Bessie
  164. Aunt Bessie does a mean Yorkshire Pudding, speaking of which where is David Batty nowadays?
  165. How is the penalty striker an internation player!
  166. Loyalyiddo, why did you have to get the subject onto Homosexuality? is there something you wish to share with us?
  167. God - Andy Johnson

    I HAVE NO IDEA

    Think they kept Gardner for moral.Just to make everyone else look good
  168. who cares as long has he's a bender like Beckham!
  169. I have nightmares at times re gardner

    I see him strolling out of defnece thinking hes fukking cruyff - BANG what happens next - he loses the ball we either concede or force EN1 into a save.

    He was ok at Port Vale.
  170. They kept gardner to put the nets up, he can reach the bar easier than anyone else!
  171. "Edgar, Edgar, Bit his legs
    Edgar, Bit his legs"

    To the tune of
    "Campbell, Campbell, your a Cu@t"

    Or
    You Mad bastard!

    Edgars Dreads are better than Marley's

    Or
    Oh Edgar Oh O
    Oh Edgar oh O O O
    He wear's a pair of bins
    And he will bite your shins.

    Or
    Tell me mum me mum
    That Edgars hair looks nice
    I hope he's checked for lice
    Tell me mum me mum

    Or (pitbull related)
    If I had a bone with some marrow
    And my dog owned a axe that would glow
    he'd chop wengers Dick off tommorrow
    And give it to cambell to blow to blow and give it to campbell to blow

  178. good shout on Ginola....

    Nearly fell off my chair when i saw atouba's name!!
  179. Anyone got any other news or transfer goss?
  180. Before the wife and kids spent all my cash, I was a season ticket holder in the paxton end. And it was always singing and at a decent level of sound. But I could rarely hear the Park Lane stand. I used to wonder why they are so quite. Then I went to a few games over at Park Lane and couldn't here the Paxton end. So everybody needs to up the volume. It's not that they aren't singing it's that it's hard to here them accross the pitch
  181. Dave

    We signed Edgar Davids

    FYI
  182. did we? Thanks ed!!
