  1. I don't think anyone is particularly excited about finishing 4th, it's the opportunities that will then create for the club. Being in the Champions League would attract better players, which would help us compete better in the Premier League. With a stronger squad we would also be able to put out a stronger team in the cups. Our second choice team at the moment probably features Kelvin, Yoshi, Jos, Fox, Guly, Cork, Gaston and Lambert. They were probably in our first choice 11 last seasons, so it's hardly giving up on a game playing them.
  2. I'm willing to bet "Premiership" was the bit that p*ssed you off most
  3. Spurs will be the first of 4 games in 14 days. 6 games in 21 days would be pushing it with our squad and 3 key players already injured.
  4. To become a coach.
  5. I don't see any reason he would go back to the bench when Boruc is fit. Let them fight it out for the #1 spot. Davis can retire, Gazza can go on loan to some Championship club.
  6. We have, Gazzaniga. However he isn't ready for Premier League football yet so we need someone else.
  7. I just wish they would go back to the good looking, pre 2009 cars but with DRS and unlimited KERS. I quite like the idea of drivers having their own number, if it makes them more recognisable. Stuff like Giles Villeneuve as 27 and Nigel Mansell having red 5 stick in my mind. It's not like we're really losing anything by changing them as the numbers are pretty meaningless anyway. You can't even see them.
  8. Tahar vs Dyer was pretty brutal. Had echos of Massing vs Cannigia about it. Didn't really cost us the game though so not too bad from a Saints POV. I'm sure Dyer disagrees.
  9. The brace he scored at Highbury was pretty handy at the time.
  10. Hoddle's last game as Spurs manager was against us. We got him sacked after winning 3-1 at the lane, Beattie scored a belter of a free kick.
  11. That would be 5... 2 goals and 2 assists from my dream team captain
  12. 4-0 down in their own back yard. 6-0 at Man City. When they don't turn up Spurs, they REALLY don't turn up.
  13. Straight red for Paulinho!
  14. Put this Spurs defence under a bit of pressure and large cracks start to appear. JRod and Lallana should have fun running at this lot.
  15. Misses the West Ham game midweek I think. Sandro injured now, would be helpful if he missed the game. I remember Morgan nearly knocking his head off in this fixture last year.
  16. Lighthouse

    Jay Rod

    I thought that too. Seems to have found the net recently but yet to properly impose himself on a game with more than one goal. Definitely improving as a player and u hope Roy doesn't give up on him because of one poor performance against an excellent Chile team. Has a lot to offer England but I fear the much less consistent Welbeck will be chosen ahead if him.
  17. Obemwinge and Lukaku were always going to be hard to replace so their relatively poor form isn't too surprising. Agree though it's harsh on Clarke.
  18. Surely Davis is undroppable the way he's been playing. I'd have him in the 3 behind Osvaldo along with JRod and Lallana, the latter 2 being in excellent form themselves.
  19. I think the mistake was keeping Davis personally. Fair enough if he wants to be a coach here eventually but I don't see why we kept him on as one of our keepers. Gazza at least is young and has the potential to improve, although I have seen little so far to suggest he is Prem quality.
  20. Sunday afternoon for this one, early 1330 kick off. Spurs did the double over us last year with a Bale wonder strike earning them an undeserved win at the Lane last time out. He also scored the opener at St Mary's last October. Jay Rodriguez scored his first ever Premier League goal in this fixture I believe. For me Lallana, Fonte and Morgan should be back in the starting 11. A winnable game for sure but I wouldn't be too upset with a draw.
  21. 2 points from 5 isn't it? Or 5 points from 6 if you like. Villa was the only really poor result in that lot. Some of the best teams in Europe will lose to Chelsea and Arsenal.
  22. Closing the gap to the top of the table. Down to 11 points now, come on Saints.
