knowing Hughes he'll probably use it as a springboard to manage a bigger club.


Exactly, he'll go there with promises from the owners that he'll have money to spend. He'll spend a load of their money, do okay, get a "bigger" job, get found out, get sacked, and then it'll start again.

All this clarifies is that you are a typically blinkered football fan who turns to abuse like it's a god damned right, Atila.

Mancini doesn't seem to think so Blue! As for Spurs not having Ade available to play I think is a fault of the loan system. I think loans should only be allowed from the PL to a lower division or abroad. It may discourage clubs from paying overinflated wages to attract players only to ditch them when a better one comes along.

I meant win the Premiership Jah in case that was not clear. you have been very good so far in talking of staying ahead of the teams below rather than catching the teams above. Suspect Harry is beginning to look up.....

I knew what you meant Mac. Something will happen to fcuk things up. Harry could end up in jail for starters. Spurs will drop points at some stage and so will City and Utd. The form guide for the last 18 games does make nice reading though...Spurs 45 points, City 42 points, Man Utd 39 points. Not sure what Arsenal's stats are for the same period but I reckon they'd be pretty impressive too as they've had a good run since losing to Spurs.

Blinkered you say? Ok lets examine just how blinkered I am. Lets start with Rooneys loyalty. This is the guy that once paraded a T shirt adorned with the words "once a blue always a blue" and moved on to Man U. This is the guy that kisses the club badge then holds the club to ransom after claiming that he has fears over the clubs competitiveness. This is the same guy that has a track record when it comes to using the services of prostitutes. And I'm blinkered. Ironic or what.

Robbie Keane signs on loan to Aston Villa


That must be a first - Robbie Keane does an interview on joining Villa and omitted to mention that it was his boyhood favourite club and has always had a lifelong ambition to play for them! Must be having a senior moment.

Spurs are in unknown territory, no one knows how they will react to the added pressure of being title contenders.

I think the last unfancied winners of the League were Leeds, and that was in the last season of the old 1st Division.

Still, not being in Europe might work in their favour. I'm happy for them to be in the mix, puts added pressure on Citeh...last nights performance looked very flat.

I think they were both sending off offences...lunging in with both feet off the ground is dangerous intent, regardless whether it results in a clean tackle or ripping the other blokes leg off.

For all you conspiracy theorists out there, Nani was sent off in a match at the Villa a couple of seasons ago for a similar two footed 'tackle' that cleanly won the ball. All we want is consistency, one way or the other.


Mancini was also hypocritical about Rooney's alledged 'waving a card' gesture after the Kompany lunge...in the league game against Liverpool he made a very clear 'waving a card' gesture himself...but that's managers for you :)

I agree it's unknown territory for us. If and I say if we beat City and maybe go top of the league at some point that is when the real pressure starts but we're not there yet. We still have to beat Wolves at home at the weekend and that won't be an easy game. At the moment I'm really enjoying watching my team play some fantastic football and winning games.

Also, Man Utd are usually even better in the second half of the season. They have a few problems at the moment - same as us - but I'm sure they'll be there challenging for the title until the last kick of the season. They have the benefit of experience in doing it many times before. I just hope Spurs can keep up the good work they have started.


Got to add this quote from the late great Bill Nicholson.


?It is better to fail aiming high than to succeed aiming low. And we of Spurs have set our sights very high... so high, in fact, that even failure will have in it an echo of glory!? - Bill Nicholson OBE.

    • Apologies on the tardy reply, but thank you everyone for your responses and suggestions! Unfortunately I couldn't attend the recent EDF drinks because of work (I know right). But will absolutely keep eyes peeled for the next one and try and come down! 
    • Because of the weather which delayed completion with roofer only being able to work certain days, it was up from November - end of January. Went slightly higher than gutters (we also had guttering replaced).
    • It's tough being a courier and the pay which is largely based on the number they deliver is miserable. Hence the staff turnover is high. EFRI was previously branded as HERMES but they had to create a new brand name because of poor performance. We get regular courier deliveries and EVRI are by far the worst. They just drop the parcel at the front door - often without ringing the bell. But worst is when they deliver to the equivalent door number on LL instead of ours on EDG. Best are ParcelForce, DHL and DPD by a wide margin.
    • I know the couple you mean, and she has always been friendly and smiley when delivering to me, but obviously in a hurry, for all the reasons outlined in the thread. My gate is always open, however (unless someone coming to the house closes it when they leave). I can't see the point of gates that have to be opened and shut again every time someone comes to the house. It just seems a waste of time, and it's annoying if you are carrying stuff. And a closed gate  conveys a sort of "my house is my fortress" feel. To me, anyway.
