I find it amusing that people accuse the likes of Benitez as lacking class in comparison to old purple hooter, given his track record. Foul and abusive language towards officials and his own players, caught on camera if I remember rightly berating and swearing at an official, is just one example of conduct hardly befitting a so called knight of the realm. In the past its been said, mostly by the media, that this demonstrates his passion and a will to win, yet if another managers dares to do the same, he is castigated. To quote the man himself talking to a Sky presenter who had the nerve to ask him a straight question, "that's bollocks that" http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=DPxujb54vVM

Benitez like every manager is trying to do the best for his club.......whichever that might be at the time. Most of them have a very short lifespan in that role.If you expect a manager to have manners like the Queen then you are simply being biased against Fergie because you support another club. You would think differently if he had been Arsenal's manager for 26 years and brought you 13 titles. You won't admit this of course.

Are you for real?? The guy has acted like a prick on numerous occasions and you want me to admire him? I have more admiration for Benitez than purple hooter. You asked me why I don't like the guy there's two shining examples, acting like some jumped up dictator trying get someone from the press banned because he didn't like the question. Classy right?

I've copied this from a Spurs forum on FB and it sums up pretty much how I feel.


"I've heard an awful lot of bollocks talked today about "winning psychology" and the idea that there is something essential or definitive that meant Arsenal were always going to qualify ahead of Spurs. Of course it's frustrating to have it happen again, but, over a whole season, when the difference at the end is a single point, and when you consider the million little events that have won and lost points here and there, the idea that the final positions somehow proved that Arsenal had an indefinable winner-ness that Spurs didn't is, well, not supportable. For one thing, they haven't won a trophy for ages, which is not the behaviour of winners. Of course I'm gutted, but I'm not embarrassed or ashamed on behalf of Spurs. It was a very close thing, and, over the course of the season, we were a couple of points off qualifying. Not bad for a team that hasn't been collecting Champions' League money for nearly two decades or recently been bought by a bored billionaire. At the beginning of this season, we'd just got a new manager and lost three of our best players, and we ended up with more points than the previous season. Not bad, I'd say. Ultimately disappointing, but then we didn't necessarily expect to be this close to the Champions' League places so soon into AVB's period as manager and with a record points total in the PL.


On the other hand, how much longer can Arsenal maintain their record of just scraping into the Champions' League every season without winning anything? How exciting it must be for their fans at the end of every campaign, wondering whether they can avoid sliding out of the top four. It's a bit like being one of those teams that regularly struggles with relegation but always just manages to stay up, I suppose."


I would like to add that I'm so happy with AVB and what he's achieved, he's tactically brave and takes risks. I love the way he colludes and consolidates with Stefan on the touchline and is not not afraid to make 2 or even 3 substitutions in order to correct wrongs. Please don't forget that in previous seasons, when Spurs go behind we would generally lose the match, not so with AVB. I'm amazed at the number of times this season we've gone behind and won, this was unheard of in the Spurs of old.


So fuck Ar$enal, they'll get knocked out of the CL again and be battling for 4th place along with us. But if we can keep Bale, ditch the dead wood and buy a striker or two, next season we'll definitely be up there again. Man U, Chelsea and Man City will all have new managers and we'll have the stability. COYS!!"

If you can keep Bale is the key thing. Lets be honest, without him, you'd have been well below 5th this season. I do think you're a team on the up though, and a couple of good signings could make all the difference next year.


Also agree that Arsenal seem to be a team in a very odd kind of limbo.

What Spurs need is a new left back (I can only wish for Leighton Baines who'll probably go to Man Utd if he leaves Everton), a new creative midfielder (Moutinho's been on our radar an while now) and two top class forwards, at least one of which we should have bought in January.

How sour are those grapes? Sums up why I hate that club. I wasn't going to put a comment on here about coming fourth as I don't believe, like many Gooners, contrary to popular misconception, that it equates to a trophy. But you know what, Spuds got their highest ever total in the PL and came 5th, and think they've had a decent season. Their best squad for many seasons, and still 5th, our worst season and squad for a long time and STILL above them. And the wanker that wrote that piece says we haven't won a trophy in years, yet the choking cockerels last won the title in 1961. In conclusion, Fcuk off totteringham, you'll always be in our shadow. Doubtless I'll get some stick for this but I don't give a Bale, sorry, Monkeys.

    • That's actually why the Sherlock Holmes stories were so popular. There was so little crime people found it exciting to imagine robberies and murders happening in London.
    • Yes, because of course there were no violent robberies in the olden days. Pretty much no crime happened at all I believe through the entire Victorian era.
    • Hi all, Im a Southwark council leaseholder and live downstairs in a ground floor flat, there is one flat above me, it's a house with individual front doors leading from the street into the shared pathway. My neighbour told me he has had a ring doorbell installed, no discussion as to how I would feel being on camera everytime I go in and out or in my front garden. I was told it's only for deliveries and doesn't record and only activates when pressed, however I don't know this and I feel really uncomfortable everytime I'm out in garden or on doorstep talking to people. Everytime I walk in/out, it lights up and in the eve it has a  infra red  light. Now I've read up that as he said its only for deliveries, he could set it so it only activates when pressed, however it activates with its motion sensor. Had he said to me about getting it installed, I could have had the opportunity to ask about it recording etc but nothing except it's being installed and when I arrived home it was there. I don't like being horrible to people however I feel I have not been considered in his decision and I feel very uncomfortable as, some times I have to stand on doorstep to get signal for my mobile and I really don't like the idea of being watched and listened to. Has anyone got any advice as I'm beginning to get angry as I've asked about it once and was told it only activates when pressed. I believe this is not true. I know southwark council say you need to ask permission to make sure the neighbours are OK with it, I don't really want to go down that road but I don't know how to approach the subject again. They also put a shed approx 3 foot from my back room window, these places are built so my window faces their rear garden and there upstairs window  faces mine. They said it's there temporarily, that was over a year ago and it does affect the light, plus I'm hoping to sell up soon and the view from window is mainly a dark brown shed. When I've mentioned this, I was told they have no where else to put it, whereas originally they said its only temporary, Also the floorboards above are bare and I get woke early morning and at night, the thudding is so bad my light shakes and window rattles, so I mentioned this and asked if they have rugs, I was told when they get the boards re sanded they will get rugs, I should have asked if they could get rugs and just take them up when boards being done, which I would have done had it been me living above someone, their attitude was I can just put up with it until they are ready. so they had the floor boards done, and the workmen was hammering screws, yes screws, in the floorboards, I spoke to workmen to ask how much longer and they said yes, are using screws to make less noise! I could hear the cordless screwdriver, not an issue but for every screw there were at least 8 whacks, the owners had gone out to avoid the noise  so I  spoke to workmen as the noise was unbearable, the sanding, not an issue at all, people need to get things done to their home and I'm fine that on occasions there will be temporary noise. now I have a nice crack on my bedroom ceiling, I mentioned this to owner but no response, he said there were alot of loose floorboards and it will be much better now, not so noisy, as though I don't know the difference between squeaking floor boards and thudding, and nothing was mentioned re the crack or that they now have rugs, which if it were me, I'd be trying to resolve the issue so we can get on with feeling happy in our homes. so I'm feeling it's a total lack of consideration. these places are old and Edwardian and I've lived here over 40 years, had 4 different neighbours and it's only now the noise of thudding is really bad and the people before had floorboards but nothing like this. As you can probably tell I'm really wound up and I don't want to end up exploding at them, I've always got on with neighbours and always said if there's a problem with my dog, pls let me know, always tell me, however I feel it's got to the point where I say something and I'm fobbed off. I know I should tell them but I'm angry, perhaps I should write them a letter. Any suggestions greatly appreciated and thank you for reading my rant.
