Massive shame we didnt get Raheem Sterling, the boy looks absoloute class. Levy needs to pull something out of the bag on 31st of August.

Hearts here.

Just a quick one - but thought you might be interested in the fact that a lot of Hearts fans are remembering how good the Spurs fans were this time last year, given the disappointment of Liverpool's support at Tynecastle.

They only sung once they'd got their goal deep into the second half, and the songs they did sing were all Celtic-like.

There was a lot of healthy banter between Hearts and Spurs fans, no trouble and actually a lot of respect particularly with the Dave Mackay link.

I think we were all looking forward to the visit of Liverpool's self-appointed 'best fans in the World'. I gave them 3/10, and that was just for turning up. I appreciate Hearts isn't exactly a glamour tie for the big clubs in the Premiership so maybe doesn't hold that much appeal. But it didn't stop Spurs fans getting into it. The Liverpool fans looked like they were waiting on a bus.

Anyway - just in case your interested. That's the chat up here.

Good luck for the season, to AVB and to Assou-Ekotto who I've got in my dream team.

Hearts.

Typical cooking levy, 8 mill bid for isco an 9mill bid for Willian! We all want a bargain but seriously!!! Not only is he makin himself look a cock but he's giving the club a bad name! Have stuck up 4 him many times but if he doesn't get the players in and quick I will have lost my faith in him.

Ok so show us the official link to where the club has made such bids.

Dearest Oracle -

So here we are in the 6 days of the transfer window. Still no Damiao. Using the power of your all seeing eye, please tell me on which day should I be celebrating his arrivial (and in which window) ??

Believable6 Unbelievable0

The only way you will celebrate his arrival is by signing him on Football Manager

Why are people getting on AVB's back already? We are 2 games into his tenure, lets give the guy a chance, its a marathon not a sprint, things take time! If at Christmas things are not looking too good then have a moan. Real supporters will back him all the way, me being one of them!

To be honest after watching the highlights last night I cant understand why we play Gallas ahead of Dawson? Gallas was found wanting several times. Walker,Dawson,Vertonghen,BAE as the back line, rotating Dawson when YK is back fit and available...

Believable4 Unbelievable1

Yeah because highlights always tell the full story don't they

Agree3 Disagree1

I was at the game yesterday and actually thought Gallas played reasonably well. Got a little bullied by Lukaku towards the end, but who wouldn't (the guy is massive!) Vertonghen was brilliant, he is going to be class. IMO the weakest link was BAE, who gave the ball away for fun and was constantly out of position. Livermore played well as did Sandro, and this is a little contoversial, but I think Sig is a better fit in the line up than VDV. If we sign Willian or Isco (or both, which I doubt) then I think we can do very well this year. I do however feel it looks like a consolidation season (5-8th in the league, with a cup run) and next season may well see all the hard work blossom.

Don't shoot me, this is just my opinion!

Agree5 Disagree1

I thought Gallas did well specially being what 34 ? He is losing his pace a rapidly though ... And agree he was being bossed by lukaku ..
I am very happy with how vertonghen looks
Only cringed when he went in for a sliding tackle and failed leaving us open ....
Disagree entirely with bae being a weak link ... I'm sorry but I love benny ....
The back 4 should be
Walker ... Kaboom ... Vert ... Bae
Back up
Naughton ... Caulker (3rd choice) Dawson 4th and naughton to cover lb as well ... Or rose

Agree1 Disagree0

Bae has to go. He can not defend, caught out of position regularly and gives away silly penalties. When under pressure, he looses the head. Who will forget his clearance to RVP last year when RVP scored the second (crucial) goal. Some of his clearances are suicidal. Yes he looks good going forward but a defenders first job is to defend. Why is it no club has ever tried to buy him?

Some positives from our games this season.
I think we have played well in our first 2 games, just, as usual, the end finish is not there. It will come.
By the way, vertonghen is a monster. He will become a spurs legend (if he stays lol). One of the best debuts I have ever soon. Comfortable on th ball in attack or defence and he knows where to put the boot in.

Still really confused that we are no going to bring in another striker!!what happerns if we have injurys?/ and AVB needs 2 change tactics and play defoe and adebayor together you could see that we need that against wba..and the need 2 strikers on the bench..also get the willian deal done asap to give us some hope....IN LEVY WE (STILL)TRUST

I support AVB and I think he can do a job if he's given some time. But does any one think, if what he's said about transfers is true (he's not planning to add much, in particular no strikers) he's trying to play the wrong system?

In my opinion neither Ade or Defoe are capable of playing the loan role. Defoe is obviously too small and plays best as a poacher in the box. Ade thrives by playing in synergy with a supporting striker, knocking down crosses and using his presence to make space. Despite liking the idea of an attacking 4-5-1 or 4-3-3, surely our current squad is built for playing 4-4-2? We have wide players, solid central midfielders, and now a target man in Ade who could work in synchrony with Defoe.

With the 4-5-1 system we rely on skill alone. Without a visionary playmaker like Modric who can pick the passes and through balls, a man in the whole is less effective. Thus, with our main assets - in my opinion probably the best combo of wide players in the league in Bale, Lennon, BAE and Walker - we should be playing wide and stretching teams, with a solid defensive line and two distributing, (very) central midfielders.

I don't think there is a need for us to play so defensively but with Sandro and Livermore blocking the middle and distributing, we can just let our wide players do all the work, as long as they have a striker in the box to aim for (Ade) and a supporting striker (Defoe) to poach on loose balls.

Just my thoughts.

Well said.

A well written and sensible post from Pinky - about time !

Flippit

Agree0 Disagree0

Thats the first intelligent thing you have said Pinky. Yes, the average Y*d is fickle, its just how it is. Im astounded tbh, the bottlers, hand wringers and moaners are starting to make themselves heard and the season is only two games old FFS! By my reckoning, if they really think that its all gone Pete Tong already, maybe they will be putting their houses on Swansea for the title, what with them sitting so high up the table at the mo its giving them a nosebleed. Maybe they will go for Everton instead ( OMG they beat Man U!) so, it obviously follows that they will finish ABOVE Man U at the end of the season, right? Utter w*nkers!!!
Super Y*d

Agree0 Disagree1

Pinky, superb comment.
Hit the nail on the head.
If levy doesn't buy anyone then AVB will prob struggle.
Don't forget, not a single AVB player has been bought yet.
Pinky, the frustrating thing about spurs is, we have been playing well for a couple years now. If levy would of replaced Berba then we would of been getting better results.
Appreciate your comments tho mate, you are right tho, we gave started the season well, in the way we have been playing I mean, just need to transfer that too results.

Agree0 Disagree0

Bloody hell Pinky , is that a vote of confidence in our ex Chelsea manager ? Can understand what you are saying mate , but thats easy when you have brought who you need and are sitting pretty at the top of the table !
Thanks though ,
Davo

Avb will come good he didnt work for us cos of that stupidly high line he want to play! u cant do that with terry! when terry sprints he looks like he pulling a caravan behind him and then u had luiz who can be clown at times! but with u u got that pace at the back it will come good but more pressure fans put on him the more he feels it and that transfers to the dressing room! ur just one world class striker away from a very decent team who could fight for the tittle

Watching motd, dembele looked awesome. Made himself a cuppa while drifting past the Man Utd midfield. Rat boy take note, the wrong 1'ns going to real. Get him or Wiesel of benfica. Alarm bells are ringing after today.

Some more great Saturday reading on this site - fans slating their manager and chairman - you should be ashamed of yourselves, though it makes me laugh.

Expect the same on your site when 2mp (2 metre Peter to you) gets on the end of the bombardment into your box this afternoon.

None of us are slating AVB he has done everything right apart from get a bit of luck like other teams do. Yes we are slating Levy a bit but you have got to understand, he doesn't spend until the last min and it cost us the first two games every year.

Spurs Lad

Agree0 Disagree0

One good thing that your team proved last year is that a slow start is not the end of the world,.. The other thing we proved last year is that being top at Christmas does not win you the league!

Long way to go, and its far to early to conclude anything if you've learnt anything from last season??

Agree0 Disagree1

In AVB we trust .............................................haha always said you spuds were comics then two games in you start booing him and your team thought your were signing three or four big big names like hulk and falcao ...go back to dream land where you all belong you should be ashamed thought you were real fans at the lane that stuck with your team lmfao

Just like you dreamed who you was signing , and look who you ended up with , poldolski and girioud ! Shame about Vert though , how much you all wanted him !!

Y r u supposed fans getting on avb back, he has only had two gsmesin charge, hardly a penny to spend, remember keith burkinshasw, took us down in his first season in charge, yet turned out to be our best manager sice sir bill nick, if u are true fans get behind the team and the manasgerr stop the bopoing we are the the gooners
