Spurs fan on radio 5 says defoe scores nearly all his goals against lesser teams and he does not perform against the big boys so doubts he can do it in world cup. Any truth in that?

[jimmy two times]

Seems like a really picky Spurs fan who can come on after he's scored a hat-trick in the cup and criticize him. His scoring record is good and I reckon he could score against anyone. He's a natural predator.

[Jah Lush]

Most people on radio phone-ins talk bollocks.

Defoe is a natural born goalscorer.

[Mick Mac]

looked that way to me too but some others have texted in in agreement. Id say his greatest asset is he shoots on sight bit like ian wright - but then ian wright did not quite achieve his potential for england so who knows. We will find out in the summer.

Wow that is some impressive (if a little sad) detective work you did there Mick Mac. It's amazing how easy it is to twist the way someone posts it into a way it wasn't meant to be read.

I don't think it is a secret that I am a Rangers fan, never hidden it, never will.

You can interpret what I write in any way you want. You and your buddy ???? have it wrong though.... just like a conspiracy theory.... it is very hard to disprove though.

Anyway.

10 clear.

Oooh another new owner!

[kpc]

Although it does seem almost unintentional.

SCSB79 - I look forward to a better relationship on this thread. There are a few very nice Rangers fans on the forum already so you are not alone.

Now as the SPL is practically over -

Anyone think Arsenal can up their game on Sunday and make it close at the top. I think the Ancelotti effect is finally being felt in SW London and any remnants of the Hiddink effect has finally dissapated. Gunners to edge it 1-2.

[ratty]

It certainly is..... he will flip it on to someone else no doubt.....

Let this be a warning to other clubs financed by debt. This has all come about due to one bank withdrawing an overdraft facility and a whole load of assett strippers getting involved. Imagine it could happen to any club in debt!

Troubled Portsmouth have been hit with more bad news as it was revealed that their manager, Avram Grant, was the Premier League manager seen visiting a massage parlour in December.

[Mick Mac]

"massage parlour"? hmmm....

That was months ago!! Story broke in the sun in December at least. Good on him I say!

[kpc]

C'mon - the guy's under a lot of stress....

[Mick Mac]

Don't Pompey have an in house physio?

[Rhinestone Cowboy]

Sorry did not see the report back in December you would think that these guys would know better someone always looking for a story.

[kpc]

Glad to see that there was at least one happy ending at Pompey.

[ratty]

Typical Pompey - when the sh1t hits the fan, go for a shag and a pint!

PUP!

[kpc]

Sounds like a thoroughly reasonable plan to me.

Redknapp in the Sun

Normal Harry rent a quotes but takes you back to when the players went for a beer with the fans after the game! Black Lion is still a decent pub too.

[Ted Max]

"I was sitting in the lounge talking to a friend and he says to me, "There's something in it for you as well, Harry," and he was only talking about having put a nip in me coffee, but someone sitting at the next table heard him, and the next thing you know I'm having the SFO lifting me mattresses and arsking Sandra how come she can afford the new extension all of a sudden..."

[Jah Lush]

I'm off to White Hart Lane tomorrow for the Spurs v Aston Villa match. A possible six-pointer for fourth place. Should be a very tight game.

[titch juicy]

are you a season ticket holder jah?

[Jah Lush]

I wish. I've a mate who I've been going to White Hart Lane with since we were kids and he has two season tickets so I usually go with him when I can.

Terry loses captaincy

[SeanMacGabhann]

Now what do we think the real reason is for the Terry demotion - is it the other potential stories which are likely to come out?
