Hopefully, for your sake, you'll lose tonight. At least then you can leave with realistic memories of the place. ;-)

Have you ever got your oven cleaned by professionals?
titch juicy replied to Nate's topic in The Lounge
Why not just ask your cleaners to do it? If being a cleaner of ovens is a viable enough business proposition that there are at least 3 firms on here recommended, I am going into the over cleaning business. A bit of Mr Muscle, half an hour and some elbow grease and it's not difficult to get an oven looking like new. -
Haha! I suspect you're right. But it'd be some story if it happened. Especially if a second match ban for Vardy became a deciding factor.

But hey, why just single out the forwards. This just gets more incredible the more I read it. In the premier league this season, the following stats are for least fouls conceded by centre-halves. Alderweireld hasn't conceded a foul in the last 600 PL minutes. What's even more incredible is how he wasn't nominated for POTY. Fouls conceded this season Toby Alderweireld: 9 Laurent Koscielny: 25 Nicolas Otamendi: 26 Wes Morgan: 27 Robert Huth: 31 Chris Smalling: 42

It's not something I like to talk about, but while we're on the subject of Tottenham. Harry Kane has more league goals this season than Neymar, Messi, Benzema or Aubemayang. And only two behind Suarez.

Well that was fun. Didn't get home til 3am though.

On my way up to Stoke for the game. Chilly week night at the Britannia. Can't wait for this.

Last season we conceded 53 goals in 38 games, so far this year we've conceded 25. Alderweireld and to a degree Eric Dier & Lloris have easily been as important as Kane and Alli.

What a game! I wonder if Origi fancies joining his Belgian pals in the Champions league at Tottenham next season. Poch's kind of player

Almost exactly 6 years to the day that Danny Rose did this to them. On his premier league debut no less. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/eng_prem/8616181.stm

Sue If you find yourself in the west end, give Selfridges a visit. They have a chocolate library. A large wall full of wonderful chocolate bars from all over the world, there must be 200+ bars of varying prices. I'm a bit of a chocolate fiend and some of the stuff i've had from there is far and away the best i've ever had. Most of the bars have eco policies and fair trade policies too. https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=selfridges+chocolate+library&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjt-vT3go7MAhWH2hoKHdx1Cd8QsAQILA&biw=1278&bih=665#imgrc=BVHV0oW7n-DL2M%3A

Arnesen, Baldini etc. Pretty sure Levy was heavily involved though. Pochettino and Mitchell seem to have more control over that side of things now.

???? Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > his record on transfers in general and > specifically with the Bale money? Ok, well let's start with Bale. Cost us ?5m - had two good and one world class season out of him and sold him - no choice but to- for ?90m. He bought 7 players with the proceeds; Lamela, Eriksen and Chadli are all very important parts of the squad. Soldado just didn't fit. He didn't stop trying and didn't become a bad striker overnight as his record since back in Spain testifies. The other 3 were bad purchases yes. You have to consider other bits of business too- for every shit signing there's been more good ones. Both of our full backs were bought for a pittance and are now some peoples picks to start in the Euros. Also- Dier (?4m), Alli (?5m), Lloris (?10m), Alderweireld (?12m), Vertonghen (?12m) Would anyone seriously call those bad signings?

I've always backed Levy, I believe he's always had the club at heart. He's a big Spurs fan after all. He's made a couple of bad managerial appointments for sure, but if the stories are to be believed, he came out of a meeting with Van Gaal and said, "That man will never manage my football club". If that's true, I can forgive him everything. Plus, he's taken us from a perennial mid-table team to regular top 4/5/6 on a lower wage bill, less revenue and much lower net spend than many of our more illustrious opponents. We've overachieved and continue to overachieve under Levy. On the article- i completely agree with you about Ibrahimovic. There's no doubting his class, but even if he was the kind of personality we wanted in the changing room (although he does work hard), we'd never get near his wage demands. Word around the campfire is, he's desperate for United as long as Van Gaal isn't there.

Man City fan in talking bucketfuls of sense shocker! http://www.thefightingcock.co.uk/2016/04/a-man-city-fans-view-on-spurs/? "We at The Fighting Cock love our forum. It?s like a little dog, loyal, faithful and funny. Occasionally it may chew our favourite shoe, or make a mess but we always forgive it, even when it attracts trolls from other teams, but something happened this weekend, something quite strange, a Man City fan came in peace and dropped something we felt was worth sharing. Thank you for your words Aron Manc: ?Leicester City have likely secured the title this season, and good luck to them for fulfilling that fairy tale; they?ve proved that good old fashioned pragmatism and playing to your strengths rather than the obligatory ?good? football can neutralise financial supremacy, but ultimately they?ve overachieved and Spurs? continued progress under Pocchettino will gradually peak and sustain, finally filling void left by the Ferguson-era United as English football?s next great dynasty. The parallels between United in the early 90?s and the current Tottenham team are startling; intense, principled managers who?ve paid their dues and worked their way up the ladder, who?ve weaned the negative influences out of the club and established a young British core of the team who?re developing in sync, ala the class of ?92, alongside some shrewdly acquired foreign talent. Both are built on solid defensive foundations and play with width and dynamism, constantly switching the play and firing crosses into the box until the opposition succumb to the pressure. Another common element is the adulation they receive from Sky; Chelsea, Woolwich and City have all managed to attain a degree of success during the Sky Sports era, but they?ve never really been as emphatically embraced by them in the way United were, and in my opinion the reason are obvious and fully justified. Those clubs have all had an overly-cosmopolitan aura, and in the case of City and Chelsea a vulgar approach to buying the success with their benefactor?s wealth with little regard to the overall benefit to the English game; this Spurs team, like that United one, has an authentic Anglo-identity that is greatly benefiting the English game and providing opportunity to young domestic talent, while gradually establishing success built on solid foundations via hard work, shrewd transfer strategy and impeccable standards imposed by the managers. United?s demise means Sky need new poster boys to project, and humble starlets like Kane, Alli and Dier are the ideal candidates. As a City fan back when we prided ourselves on being a ?proper? club, as well as an advocate of fundamental opportunity for English talent, it?s been hard to watch the transition into an embodiment of everything that?s wrong with modern football, and I?ve spent the past few years being told by the hypocritical morons that most of our fans have become that selling ourselves to an Arab was ?the only way? we could compete with the established top 4. We?ve also been constantly fed the nonsense argument that English players aren?t good enough in failed justification for the Anglo-apartheid at the club since the Hispanic colonisation in 2013, so I?ve been buzzing with what this Spurs team has been doing to disprove that idiotic misconception, even to the extent where I actually enjoyed you lot taking 6 points of us this season. Moving forward, with the new stadium in the pipeline and the Nike investment in addition to the Champions League revenue, there is absolutely no reason for Pocchettino or any of the aforementioned uber-talents to leave; constant exposure to elite level football via International and European competition is going to facilitate their development into top-level footballers, and as a result see the club become a dominant force in English and even European football. The similarities in style and standards between former Argentina teammates Pocchettino and Diego Simeone are glaringly obvious, and Spurs can easily embrace and emulate Atletico?s impact in the Champions League next season. Guardiola is put on a pedestal for his achievements at Barca, but he?s only ever inherited great players at clubs with a culture of winning; Pocchettino is Pep without the privileges. Would Guardiola have matched Pocchettino?s achievements with Espanyol, Southampton and the shambles of a Spurs squad he took over? Success is relative, and the Argentinian?s work so far has been as good as anybody else?s in the same timescale. From what little I?ve seen of Winks, Pritchard and Edwards, they have the talent to be integrated into the squad within the next few seasons and Pocchettino will inevitably do so, further strengthening that success-defining identity in the process; the key to completing the transition from very good team to winning team will be the quality and compatibility of the signings. United needed a catalyst for their own transition in the early 90?s, a talisman to inspire and implement a winning mentality into a talented young team and they found it in Cantona; Ibrahimovic could be that player here. He?s a perennial winner, who sets and demands from others the highest standards; Kane could attain career-defining advice and experience alongside such a player, taking his own career beyond even its current stratospheric potential. He?s got a few years left in him, wants a move to England and would destroy most Premier League defences. PSG want Lloris and this summer would likely see his value peak given his age and the fact he?ll be a key figure for a France team that I expect to make a big impact at Euro 2016, so it?d be a good time to sell; Jack Butland?s career trajectory will see him as England?s number one by the 2018 World Cup, and he has all the credentials to be a Spurs player (i.e. young, English and superbly talented) as well as the physical stature to dominate the box better than Hugo. He?d realistically be available for half of what PSG would pay for Lloris as well. When Bale was sold in 2013, I imagine the first option clause was nothing more than Levy being awkward and Real obliging to be polite, but given the bizarre change in the footballing landscape in England since then, and especially Spurs currently being the best placed team to dominate domestically as well as become perennial participants in the Champions League, the possibility of a Bale return is a valid one. Regardless of what actually happens in the summer transfer-wise, you club is on the cusp of greatness and is without question the pride of English football.?

Have BUPA through work, including GP services and it's proved very useful on several occasions. BUPA seem good, but i've nothing to compare them against.

All that money hasn't done them any good this season though (City, United, Chelsea). I might've said further up that this season has shown the value of hungry, loyal and hard working players with managers that know how to get the best out of them. That goes for Leicester, Spurs and West Ham. You can spend all the money in the world and pay the highest wages, but if the player doesn't care about the club and he's still gonna pick up his ?200k per week pay cheque regardless, why go the extra yard? And academies are where that passion for the club is nurtured. Tottenham have the second best academy facilities in the world. It was the best until City unveiled their behemoth recently. It's already beginning to bear fruit. Depending on who's in charge at Old Trafford next season, I can see them doing well. They have some very promising youngsters coming through. Not so sure about City other than Iheanachi (spelling?), who looks top class. Now, obviously that doesn't mean money won't have an effect but it's how it's spent that matters. And all premier league clubs are getting a massive windfall from TV money next season. ?91m per club, I read. That levels the playing field somewhat.
