What's your thoughts on Lennon threatening Bangura not to play in tonight's game MM?

Spurs letting Caulker go...selling club :-)


Ha ha. It's a bit of a pity that. I liked him. Home grown. He's a good very good prospect, reads the game well for a 21-year-old, good anticipation, good in the air, brings the ball out of the back well. Doesn't get a headache when he goes past the halfway line. Scored on his England debut. Didn't get so many games towards the end of last season though he did have a couple of poor games prior to that. He'll do well at Cardiff and good luck to the lad. Plenty of sell on value too. Hopefully, we'll get a percentage of that if he does well and moves on later in his career for a huge fee.

Anyway, the Romanian centre-half we have apparently lined up to replace him is already in a different class. COYS!

I think I,ve said it before but I am quite excited about the Premiership title race this year. I foresee teething issues at Man U. Arsenal , spurs and Chelsea all look competitive but I just edge Man City with their squad and I rate the manager. man city or a London club I predict.....er, not the Irons!

yep, it's been said before but no less true - and as we hit August I can smell the football in the air again


Chelsea will be a story either way - either the return leads to Glory, or there is a tragedy to be played out


Agree re: City manager too but I think there are issues beyond a managers control which will possibly be detrimental. Either the players (prone to prima-donnaish behaviour) or the owners could put a spoke in Pelligrini's wheels.

City or a London club? That covers 4 of last season's top 5!

I dunno, I blame Betfair...careful you don't get too many splinters sitting on that fence hedge ;-)


I agree it should be more competitive this year. I think the difference could be a transfer or two, so I'm holding fire until the big business (if any) is done...

I'm excited for the new season too. I've already got my list of which Premiership home games I'll be attending with the match against the Gooners first. I've great confidence in our manager, we've already made a couple of good signings. Looks like Soldaldo is on his way too. I believe Bale will stay with us for one more season at least and if that happens I really think we can push on from last season and be right up there with the challengers. I really feel we can win a trophy, finish above Le Arse and qualify for the Champions League. COYS!
There's been a rumour consistently doing the rounds for the best part of 6 months or so that Ronaldo 'would be back at Utd in early August'. I never gave it any credence, but with it increasingly looking like Bale will end up at Madrid very soon, maybe, just maybe...

I'm going to go out on a limb. I think Bale will go, and should go. Spurs paid ?7m for him. Theyre now likely to sell for ?80m+. With that miney they could vastly imprive their squad with 3 or 4 quality players.


He is one player, if he gets injured for a month or so the impact in Spurs would be significant. If he stays another year his form could drop and you may never get the same sort of money for him again.


Cash in, let the diver go and play with Ronaldo, and add more quality to a squad which would have struggled to finish above Liverpool last year without his goals.


For the record I feel the same about Liverpool and Suarez.

We should be building team around Bale. Not selling him as soon as a good offer comes in. We've made some good signings already breaking our transfer record into the bargain. Caving into Madrid's bullying tactics is out of the question as far as I'm concerned. If Bale goes it sends out the wrong signals and we'll remain a selling club. You don't win things by constantly selling your best players.

It's understandable to be frustrated or even downright angry if your top player is going elsewhere. I don't think Tottenham wanted to sell but players are changeable, even fragile and if you can sell at top dollar when the player is hot, then most businessman will probably do that.


For Bale himself, he may not have wanted away, but if he had defiantly said he was not interested it would never have happened. Its a great opportunity for him, although very sad for Spurs.

    • 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
