I doubt it. He wants to stay and manage in England and if Fulham continue their poor start to the season it's quite probable that he could be in line to replace Lawrie Sanchez. (You heard it here first).

I'm going to White Hart Lane tomorrow night for the Carling Cup match against the might of Blackpool. I should think Spurs will win that one. I think we've been humiliated enough for one season but then I blame the board of directors for that. C**ts!

Best of luck to Jaunde Ramos although he will have to get used to the same transfer policy that so frustrated Martin Jol. The King is dead. Long live the King. Come on you Spurs!

I think the case for Alan Smith is that Leeds were in desperate need of cash by that stage. Smith knew this and agreed to be sold, Man Utd offered a reasonable sum and we had to take it. I don't think Smudger betrayed us (although kissing the ManU badge was a bit much) but didn't really have much choice. Kewell on the other hand...


As for Wise and Poyet - They didn't exactly set the world on fire last season but there was a hell of a lot going on behind the scenes that I don't think anyone would believe. When your own captain gives the opposition your tactics you're in trouble. We were the target of much speculation of takeovers and I think a new owner would have got rid of Wise. As it is he's stayed and now looks to be doing a good job so all credit to him. I think Poyet will be a big loss and needs replacing pronto with someone decent, Ray Wilkins has been talked up but personally I'm not keen.


One day we'll be back up there....MOT

Just thank your lucky stars you've not had a mega ego like Anelka in your side!!! OH...... sorry you have!!!

Fair play, but we should have learnt our lesson after the Reyes episode. Didn't he moan about the weather, missed his mums cooking, wanted to play for Real (look were that got him, the ungrateful git!!)

Well you already mentioned Anelka.


I still rate Kewell, but the guy can't stay fit, so good or not, he's useless. Maybe he can get fit and give us one really good season... Maybe not.


Cisse.


Robbie Fowler's return quite literally was the second coming of christ if you listen to Liverpol supporters. Unfortunately the injuries and the years meant it couldn't be the dream we all hoped for. Was good to see him in red again though, and get a proper goodbye! Still think he has something to offer at Cardiff.


I wonder is Charlton fans might say Danny Murphy... He had them top of the league, everyone was talking about an England recall, it didn't happen then it all went completely pete tong! Still think he would have been better off staying there than going to sit on Spurs' bench.

I remember seeing him play and he did look a bit useful, but regretabbly that lasted about as long as a soap bubble!! Come on Jah, you've had a few stinkers play for your lot. Name & shame them.

Are you talking about his move to spurs or fulham >:D<

I saw Murphy a couple of times at Charlton, and he looked like he thought he was too big for the club "I used to play for liverpool you know" attitude was reflected in a very poor work rate.

I was under the impression he eventually pulled his socks up a bit though.

Good old 'arry. Everyone forgets some of the duds he's bought over the years!!

Indeed, after his departure someone did a run down of money in, money out and wages and worked out that for all his much reknowned shrewd wheeler-dealing, he'd actually lost the club a fortune and all his quality signings had a catalogue of horrors to his name too.


Still, we had some great times as well as terrible times under him and he's definitely a character.

    • But it was under our electoral system in 2019! This must be part of the right-wing media conspiracy that did for Corbyn....;-) Corbyn was very closely allied to Unite and Len....

    • Eh? That wasn't "my quote"! If you look at your post above,it is clearly a quote by Rockets! None of us have any  idea what a Corbyn led government during Covid would have been like. But do you seriously think it would have been worse than Johnson's self-serving performance? What you say about the swing of seats away from Labour in 2019 is true. But you have missed my point completely. The fact that Labour under Corbyn got more than ten million votes does not mean that Corbyn was "unelectable", does it? The present electoral system is bonkers, which is why a change is apparently on the cards. Anyway, it is pointless discussing this, because we are going round in circles. As for McCluskey, whatever the truth of that report, I can't see what it has to do with Corbyn?
    • Exactly what I said, that Corbyn's group of univeristy politics far-left back benchers would have been a disaster during Covid if they had won the election. Here you go:  BBC News - Ex-union boss McCluskey took private jet flights arranged by building firm, report finds https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cp3kgg55410o The 2019 result was considered one of the worst in living memory for Labour, not only for big swing of seats away from them but because they lost a large number of the Red-wall seats- generational Labour seats. Why? Because as Alan Johnson put it so succinctly: "Corbyn couldn't lead the working class out of a paper bag"! https://youtu.be/JikhuJjM1VM?si=oHhP6rTq4hqvYyBC
