I just reminisced back to the original Jah Lush OP on the FF thread from 2007

That's quite funny, Jah's opening lines read like a ''Dear Santa'' letter, ever the optimist!... :)

I'm a lot more excited about this season than I have been for a few years, what with the arrival of Torres at Liverpool!

However, I suspect after a couple of matches I'll be writing off another title charge! We just seem to be incapable of consistency!

Always feel quite confident about getting somewhere in the cups though, I do think we're one of the better cup sides."

Well Torres didn't disappoint (for a couple of seasons at least). And I think we got to the CL Final that year.

[Jah Lush]

Good grief! Mick, How'd you find that?

Dear Santa,

I'll tell you what I want what I really really want - I want Tottenham Hotspur to win the treble this season. Premiership, FA Cup and Champions League.

Not much to ask I know but would be much appreciated.

All my lunch,

Jah. x

I thought I'd save you the effort Ots... ;-)

I was impressed with Mocker's first post, straight in with a big-up for the Hamlet way before it was Hip(ster) to do so...

Irish fans win award.

That's great. I'd be proud as punch if English fans could win something like that.

Over the page - because I have just watched Euro 1996 and Jahs OP about McLaren perhaps puts 2016 in perspective

New Celtic signing Moussa Dembele tells it how it is.... :)

Ironically, Dembele could have been hearing the Champions League anthem at White Hart Lane. Tottenham Hotspur wanted the striker last January. ?It was between the clubs to get an agreement and they didn?t,? said Dembele. ?At the time, it was disappointing, now, I have to say ?thanks? because this is a better opportunity for me. First, Celtic is a bigger club in Europe than Tottenham.

?I know I could earn more somewhere else, but I wouldn?t have the opportunity to play. A club like Celtic does not come along often in your life.?

Glen Hoddle

Oh heck help us!

[Jah Lush]

I don't think that's such a bad thing. He knows the job and if it wasn't for Beckham getting sent off in '98 we could have quite possibly gone a lot further in that competition. I know he wasn't known for his man management skills but I'd hope that he has learnt from that. Glenn's a very talented coach and the players will have respect for him. I'd have liked to have seen Southgate given the job but he doesn't want it.

And that's it in a nutshell. He'd only be a bit part player at Spurs.

I'm a fan of Hoddle the manager. its hard to put his very weird views to one side, but I'd have him before many of the other candidates.

Jurgen the German seems to be favourite now anyway.

[Alan Medic]

Sam's the Man.........has a ring about it. On the change in fortunes with the rugby team that MM referred to, a lot has got to be down to Eddie Jones not taking any s**t. You're either on form for your club or you're not selected. I wish the same approach was applied to football where it just seems that the manager is 'friends' with the players and shows them 'loyalty'. Well eff that. You want to play for your country then earn it. There shouldn't be any brownie points earned to be used when you are semi recovered from an injury or a bit off form. England needs someone with a mouth to manage the team. Maybe even Sam.

[Mick Mac]

True. But not Sam. England don't want to score goals from throw-ins, they're too posh.

[????]

Klinsman is my bet (not choice)

[Mick Mac]

Well he is favourite....

8/1 yesterday :)

I particularly love the idea of a European manager for the England job right now.

[Jah Lush]

I don't want us going down that route again. I want an English manager. The Germans and the Dutch don't have foreign managers and I don't see why we should either. I'd really like to see Glenn back in charge. His talent has been wasted for far too long.

[????]

if it means we don't have to hera him commentate anymore - I'm in

Boris?

Yep, especially a German, just to hack off the Ingerlanders...

Yep, that was my line of thinking
