Ramos: "I speak to the chairman when he permits us to speak - he's a very busy person and i dont know when it will be possible to speak".

 

I suppose it's better than a vote of confidence

Of course the chairman's busy - he's looking for Terry Venables' phone number.

People keep saying "Spurs have the players, they're just not performing".
I don't think they have the players.
Back 4 is fine.
They have a worse keeper than last season and spent a load of money getting him.
Modric is shocking. Might be good in a good team but he's not one for a battle. Should have bought Kranjcar instead.
Zokora is poor, Lennon is quick but can't do alot with the ball. Bentley will be good but people is getting played all over the place.
Jenas looks like he knows how bad everyone is and wants to do it all on his own.
Bent and Pavlyuchenko (googled spelling) can't play together? 1. they should be able to 2. why buy him if he's too similar, Kevin Doyle would have been a better bet.
I think they're going down but at best they'll survive and lose all the money made from Berbatov and Keane in January.

Exactly.  The back four are fine, yet they're still conceding goals like they're doing it for fun.

Last year they defended as a team, this year they're playing as individuals ( badly ).

Last year they were fit enough to take teams out in the last 5-10 minutes.

Training wise something must be different.  Ramos is still around, so what has changed ?

Government to bail out Tottenham Hotspur with emergency injection of 50 points


After continuing falls in the league position of Tottenham Hotspur, the government has announced that it is stepping in to prop up the ailing North London club with an emergency injection of fifty league points.

The club’s stock has fallen sharply since August with a negative goal difference increasing week on week. A number of competitors such as Hull City took points away from them, causing commentators to speculate that the club was wildly over-valued before the current crisis. BBC’s John Motson described the move as ‘perhaps the most extraordinary day in British football’ and an ‘absolute humiliation for Spurs, as if any more were possible.’

The injection of fifty points takes Tottenham Hotspur from the very bottom of the Premier League to the very top, where they are now 32 points clear of Chelsea on 52 points with only 7 games played. They are now well poised to become this year’s premiership winners gaining automatic qualification for the Champions League. Other clubs have complained against what they claim is unfair treatment for one particular club and say the junior minister of sport who announced the injection of points is a well known Spurs supporter who has acted without any authority of consultation with government colleagues. The Junior Minister would not discuss this accusation at a press conference saying only ‘Shut it Gooner! We would have nationalized the North Bank if they hadn’t already flogged it off!’

What about the game tomorrow?  Top versus bottom - but are Spurs on the ascendency with the 'Arry factor, or did their comeback and Arsenal's collapse just hide their defensive problems?

The missus will be at White Hart Lane tomorrow as she's a fully-fledged member of the prawn-sandwich brigade and has a ticket in a box through corporate sponsorship.  Unfortunately, she can't get me a ticket... so I'll have to make do with setanta

I think it'll be a tough game irrespective of positions.  Think both teams will be tired, I wouldnt expect a full blonw game, think Rafa will set them up as per away games V Chelsea, Everton, Villa, point wouldnt be awful and i'd have bitten your hand off for 7/9 at the start of the week...

If Hutton and Gomez play you will easily win.

The RSPCA have acted very quickly after last nights incident.

If you see an Arsenal fan with a dog, please ask them to call 0800 4-2 4-3 4-4 for free advice on how to hold onto a lead.

I have a sickening feeling Spurs will win on the weekend.

Bottom vs top, Harry's honeymoon, Liverpool looking very good and hard to beat - it just has a romantiscism about it that makes me think we'll lose.

Blatant "reverse bok" attempt post imo.

If Spurs win and Newcastle win does that mean Spurs are the bigger club again or is it a tie?

LOL I was just kidding mate the whole debate is pretty pointless tbh i wouldn't say we were right now a couple of points doesn't settle much i would say spurs were in a better position than we are at the moment as i don't see them being at the bottom for very long.
