I think GG's 1989 championship winning team was good to watch. Rocastle on one wing, Brian Marwood on the other. Michael Thomas and Paul Davis were a relatively cultured midfield. Merson up front - some good footballers and a strong defence.



Then you had Perry Groves.....

Don't forget Anders Limpar and Ian Wright. Oh, but then there was John Jensen.


Plus, the longer he's out of the game, the less chance of him being offered a contract.


Football has moved on a lot since 2001 and at 65 he's the wrong age for a club looking for a long term appointment.

Not to mention the fact that he liked a bung. I really can't see the clamour to have him back in the game. Call yourself a Spurs fan.

I disagree with that man management style being obsolete - I think now more than ever you need to rule with an iron fist rather than expect players to motivate themselves at the idea of a 50p win bonus.

Winning in style The Tottenham way? Maybe at one time Jah but not for yonks. Having a soft underbelly is the style I most associate with my beloved Spurs. Most of the players we've had in recent years haven't been fit to wear the shirt. We're playing well at present but the results against Wolves and Stoke worried me, as well as losing at home to 10 man united when we were 1 up. That's been the Tottenham way for quite a while now.
We've been won the title three times in better style than most teams manage in a lifetime from 1998 to now, whilst Tottenham have won precisely no, none, zilch, zip, nada, zero, titles in the same period. A Spuds fan preaching style to the present Arsenal side is laughable.
Despite Arsenal's superior short passing game they can be quite predictable. They lack any real quality on the wings and everything is played in front of the opposing defence. A savvy defence would simply stay compact an invite Arsenal to try to use the flanks as even if they do get crosses in they lack the aerial ability to convert crosses into goals, despite Eduardo's rare headed goal on sunday.
Looks like Beckford might be off to Newcastle for ?3million though. Personally, if we get that much, I'd bite Mike Ashley's hand off. He's worth nowhere near that.


It would seem he's put in a transfer request. Scores a goal against the champs, and starts believing his own hype.

    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
