Davo,

you are right,there were some people calling for Wengers head,and calling him retarded,senile or a mental patient.
these vile individuals should be dismissed as Arsenal fans as they are simply a minority of angry people shouting on a forum who are unknowledgable about how football works.
They are nowhere to be seen now anyway.
Of all the different people I speak to at the Emirates not ONE has said get Wenger out.
I hope this clears this up for you.

Anyway,
MIND THE GAP!
COUGH*1 POINT*COUGH

I dont get how the spurs having 3 strikers, supposedly the best midfield in the epl, cant score goals?

You guys put down on about the 1 we have and hes banged in 33 goals...Messi and ronaldo maybe better after that theres not doubt its RVP.

I am a spurs fan and saw swansea city last night. I think swansea are where they are because of a well trained team supported by a smart formation that would suit our style of play.
People have raised eyebrows over kings defending recently but certainl they should look at kaboul who definately might be a rock at the back but makes an error , like being caught ball watching every single game and now it is costing us. Caulker looks great in swansea colours and surely when he returns he could start. I would also like to see jan verthongen to join and play alongside him as then we wont have reckless kaboul or slow king. Caulker sure knows how to pass the ball out of defence and has kept more cleansheets than us . Verthongen i believe would be his perfect partner just like an ashley williams. I think caulker will help get the ball out of defence faster. He unlike kaboul doesnt concede cheap free kicks and doesnt make tiny errors.
The biggest problem however in defence is really the lack of width provided by forward players. People are quick to criticise Benny and Walker but its hardly their fault as they have to provide width as most recently we are playing with one winger who wants to go infield and thus cant come back to defend. It doesnt surprise me that most of the goals we concede come from the side bale last attacked from as once we lose posession he is infield and has to make a longer run backward than he wuld have had he been if he was out wide. As a result our fullbacks have to mark two men which is too tough for them and king hasnt the pace in him to cover up for them anymore.
I say we switch to a 433, 4411,451 that swansea barcelona and arsenal use next season.
442 doesnt work for us as that leaves parker and modric' with even more running to do as we dont have as much posession so even if van der vaart is out of form we must still play him as then parker cant cover for the full backs or kaboul.
Am I the first one to realise that ade is destroying our team? His touch is woeful and he can bearly pass the ball. He is seeming extra slow and lazy suddenly and a lot like crouch. We certainly do not need a 188 cm + striker as they cant even shoot from far and given how frequently bal comes in and azza's injuries it is pointless playing ade. At the moment we should play saha and next season we should extend saha's deal and also sign klass jan huntelaar who is a tall finisher , a threat in the air and quite fast. JD cannot play in a formation other than 442 and I would thus bench him.
The major attacking problem is in the wings.We do not get enough shots from the wing. Shooting after cutting in tends to confuse the goalkeeper and when shot with great power they can be fumbled onto the striker and I am confident huntellar and saha would welcome that. For a player to shoot from wide they most be left on right or right on left. Bale will definately occupy our left so I think we should look at podolski , marin , ben arfa , hazard (rigthy but still ). When you look at utd play young keeps shooting from the left causing the keeper to fumble and is usually a source of lots of goals for them . Similarly for real Ronaldo, Barca Villa , City silva and balotelli , chelsea sturridge, liverpool downing, bayern robben ,swansea sinclair.
If none of them join I say we send townsend on the right . He can use both feet , shoot hard , cross well and get past his man.

Next season I hope to see us play
Friedel
Walker Caulker Verthongen Assou Ekotto

Parker Modric'
VDV
Podolski Bale
Huntelaar
Trust me it will work. Swansea are a good team who lackthe cutting edge which we have so why not try this I am positive it could see us come first next term.
This is how it shall work
Caulker and verthongen release the ball fast into midfield to parker or modric' who get it wide fast or to VDV who is our sigurdson with parker being britton and modric allen.
Then our sinclair , podolski starts out wide and comes inside and either shoots , passes it infield to vdv, Huntelaar , crosses or plys it wide to walker who starts his overlap as soon as podoldski gets the ball. The same on the other side with bale and Ekotto bale being our dyer and ekotto our taylor. We then have class in the final third to score goals. This way we play our best players in their best positions with azza jd and sahas being options from the bench. Trust me even barca play the same way. Hopefully Podolski can help us get over with our set piece woes.
When the ball is played into the box I would like to see the opposite winger , huntellar , vdv in the box with modric' making a late run allen ,xavi stlye and vdv could also do the same like iniesta/fabregas. If the full back crosses then the winger too can run into the box. However the opposite full back must stay wide incase if the cross is too high .
Thus my summer signings would be
A winger prefrably left legged who plays right and shoots and crosses well like podolski (15m)
other options would be hazard , marin and maybe ben arfa. Hazard and podolski would be great as it would show that they snubbed a good london club for a better one:)
Podolski is my personal choice as he is more experience can shoot well has an aerial presence will be a help in set plays and would cost half the price of hazard
Also
Verthongen (10 m)
and huntelaar(15-20m)
or any other striker who is good on the ball, great finisher ,poacher , available , less than 20 m internationally experienced tall good touch and good attitude
Keep me posted if you know of anyone else but personally think huntelaar would be great what do you guys think
P.s great site ed what do you think about my post {Ed001's Note - Spurs certainly do need a top striker, Huntelaar looks unlikely to me, he is doing well and I doubt they would want to sell him. Munain is available for the right price, would he not be a better option?}

Believable2 Unbelievable1

Doumbia seydou.... Granted under 6 ft I think maybe 5 11 or something
Where as klass is what ? 6 2 - 6 - 3 ?
I shoulda looked it up before writing but and it may be a worse Leuage but hea a goal scoring machine ... Has tons of pace... Looks strong enough for the EPL
Is also Like 4 years younger than klass so would have good resale value
Although i think he was quoted at needing 30 m to prise Him away from Moscow
Although even watching the England freindly a few weeks ago klass Defintley has presence enough to face EPL standard of defence so would possibly be less of a risk if could be obtained for a decent price which I don't think will be possible : (
But otherwise what a great essay

Agree2 Disagree1

Podolski LOL going to North london but not to the Down and out SPUDS LOL.

Agree2 Disagree0

As far as I'm aware spurs were never after Podolski! So what are you bragging about?

Podolski hasn't been the same since the world cup anyway. Just another clumsy German who probably won't score many goals anyway

Agree0 Disagree0

Clumsy German? you clearly dont know what germans are all about.

Agree1 Disagree0

Thanks for commenting . Yes I am original poster and definatly think hazard would do the trick. I would welcome doumbia at the club but think KJH would be better. Don't know why harry plays bale out of position. You dont see messi playing at right back because he gets marked out of the game. If bale is marked by two and stays wide then vaart and Modders get that little bit of extra space as usually the defensive mid doubles up on bale. Anyways lets be honest I think bale can easily beat two men. Get pasty one and they cant come back really then its a one v one.
COYS
p.s think saha should play not ade
when lennon injured think niko should relace him stick to 4411 unless if JD doesnt mind playing wide right and shooting constantly as my earlier post suggested
Personally think harry chose that team cos if you remember against stoke every aerial duel in midfield was one by them overruning us. Thus harry wanted to play sandro . Parker seemed like a must play for him cos a similar shape dominated utd even with modders out wide diff was that leenon was a betteroutlet than bale and livermorre a better passer than parker.
Still harry's fault should have played niko and a 4411 442 is a risky formation that onlly works if ade plays well
COYS Again

Agree0 Disagree0

Nice original post, I fully agree with many of the tactics and points (apart from Saha getting an extension) He was/is good but we need to buy, and not someone who is 35 this year.

Gomes from Bayern is amazing. I rate him as one of the best strikers in the world. He's relatively fast, very strong, great finisher and always in the right place, most of his goals are either heads or tap ins from rebounds. He is the better version of Huntalaar. It maybe a longshot for him to come but I really do think he could make a big difference in the team.

You lot don't half come out with some rubbish on here.
Last week I thought I would share my good news about having a little win at the bookies after the mancs beat you,and I was called a liar! (and other things)
Now the fool bear yod says Arsenal fans don't have jobs!
You all come across as being bitter for some reason,and it isn't a good look as this reflects badly on the real tottenham fans out there.
Deluded is the trait that suits you the most. First good season (first 3/4 of it anyway) in living memory and suddenly you think you are the kings of London and everyone else is in your shadow.
Here is my prediction for the top six:
1-man utd
2-man city
3-Arsenal
4-chelsea
5-newcastle utd
6-spuds

I won't tell you if I have had a bet on it or not because I will be called a liar again.
But maybe you should secretly be cheering us on tonight,because we can do you a favour by beating newcastle,as we all know that it is inevitable we will finish above you again,whatever happens tonight.
Funny how one of the little catchphrases you were slinging at us have now turned round to bite you on the ass,isn't it.

mind the gap!

a very happy gooner

Believable6 Unbelievable1

Our worst ever run under redknapp, and you still haven't cought up with us? And if you can't handle bear yod dishing out the banter, then don't post it yourself you cretin

Agree3 Disagree4

Thank you to the first replier...
And yet again I will say I said the majority ... And as above put its all bs at the end of the day ... Just stop coming on here if you can't handle the bs back
Bear yid

Agree1 Disagree1

I agree to a point but i would swap spurs and newcastle around. despite spurs bad form i cant see newcastle beating arsenal tonight and that will end there hopes of placing higher then spurs. i see spurs losing to chelsea arsenal going third then a battle for 4th between chelsea and spurs with chelsea stealing it last 2 games of the season

Agree0 Disagree0

If you have a little look at the last few results,you will see that we are catching you all the time and soon will be back above you as normal service is resumed. Don't be bitter,it's just the way things are meant to be,as they have been for decades,with the exception of a hiccup SIXTEEN years ago.
What bear yod said does not fall into the banter category,it falls in the 'ridiculous statement' category. I like a bit of banter,both dishing it out and taking it,but that was just a childish thing to say,this is why I asked 'how old are you?' and was answered with 'how old are you' ..self explanatory,really.

On a lighter note,I have been listening to talksport in the car,and to my delight it was full of bitter spuds jamming the phonelines calling for harrys head...what a difference a few bad results make,I hope he doesn't get the England job and stays with you....after all,that's what you were all shouting for a few weeks ago!

Happy Go0oner , it wasnt that long ago you lot was calling for Ar**s head , that happens . What you need to remember is , at present we are third , you are fourth , just , that makes us the best team in London so far this season . Maybe it will change , maybe it wont . You still have your PARENT CLUB , and RVP's new club , Man city to play , as well as chelsea , so dont count your chickens yet !!

Spurs to go after Adam from liverpool as a replacement for Modric who still has his heart set on a move regardless if spurs make the CL or not
they are also looking to offer Saha a new 2 year deal so they dont have to worry about replacing Ade when he goes back to Man City

Clearly a bitter arse or pool fan

Following my last post which alot of you agreed. FFs Harry ! I'd like to add to it we have alot of players like do santos,and the rest he let out on loan and sold i e robbie.he dnt use them or want then.we have not spent heavy in the last 3 yrs we have got loan players trimmed out squad now it's time 4 a 4 year plan on the field as well as the new stadium. Would it be really bad having a settled manager and selling the likes of modric vdv and getting some fresh talent for the future. Just a thought. Vdv no pace and modric plz tell me his roll as not enough goals from midfield

I think most people forget that Levy has made no secret of the fact that he prefers a Director of Football style set up with a coach working team matters.

This will rule out Benetiz and Mourinho, who will demand complete control over spending.

I think the stories linking Capello with Spurs have a lot of substance in them.

BLOODY HOPE NOT , WE WOULD DESPERATE FOR THAT TO HAPPEN !!!! GOD HELP US .
