Al Pacino Team Talks Tottenham

Saturday, 25 October 08, 12:21 PM · Comments (46)

Scouring like that little Scottish lady who used to do the old adverts for Flash floor cleaner I finally came up with the above. It was always a close run thing with Kipling's IF, but I felt I had to keep a clip of an incompetant English manager delivering an impassioned piece of nonsense up my sleeve for our next incumbent.

Impasse [noun] a predicament affording no obvious escape.

We've reached something alright. Maybe it's an inpasse. Who knows.

The task then is straightforward enough. Put to one side all the hurt and confusion and go out there and play push and run and score one more than the other lot.

Talking to fans and looking around at the boards over the last week I am in no doubt whatsoever that our support will be there.

For every pessimist there are three or four that believe we can salvage this mess. For every mute there are three or four prepared to sing louder and harder to compensate. For every fan leaving the stadium early there are three or four who will not quit until the final whistle goes.

These are the odds in our favour.

BIOYC.

The country is full of good coaches. What it takes to win is a bunch of interested players.

Our players need to die for the cause tomorrow. The need to show us that they deserve to wear our famous lilywhite shirt. That they want to give us, the lifeblood of our club, every single ounce of energy in their bodies. No more hiding, no more excuses, no more chances.

We need to give them everything, we need to get behind them more than ever before.

If we don't, they wont and Ramos will be on his way back to Spain tomorrow night. And we will be scouring the country to find a coach who can inspire a bunch of dis-interested players.

Come on you Spurs.

Stirring Stuff H, that's the best scene in that movie.

Wouldn't Al make a fine Tottenham manager, his half-time talks would be something else. Couldn't imagine him putting up with the shitstorm we're in.

We're gonna make some fucking noise tomorrow!

COYS!

I will scream and shout all the way to my grave for the ethos of the badge. My thoughts betray me at times concerning Ramos and the board, but they are not my club. The abuse and humiliation hurt me, but these are not my club. My club are Spurs, always have been, always will be. Whether up or down, heart and soul I will always be shouting "Come on you Spurs" until no longer able to shout. It's a hard walk at times!

Great clip by the way Harry and boy could the lads do with a team talk like that.

I believe in most great sporting endeavours, most great works of art, great music, great theatre, great literature in fact anything worthwhile you have to die a little to make it great. And as Al says if you aren't prepared to die as a team you'll die as individuals.

COME ON YOU SPURS
COME ON YOU SPURS

COME ON YOU BLOODY SPURS.

For whatever reason, I won't be at the match tomorrow; not in person anyhow, but my heart, soul and life belong to Tottenham. The law of averages say we must win some time soon, so let's hope it's tomorrow. If we do, let's keep on winning, at least until after Wednesday

Tomorrow calls for never say die, 110% committment, fight for every lost cause, every lost ball, don't drop your heads, battle, battle, battle, run yourself into the ground. Forget the fancy football, the flicks and tricks, just score 1 more than them; easy. I say to Poyet, print this out and shout it to every player tomorrow.

And to all the so called 'supporters' on previous topics saying playing in the championship will do us good, will make our team - DO FUCK OFF. Leeds anyone?

Please Ramos, play 4-4-2, players in their positions and only players who will do all of the above. Sigh, if only we had 11 Woodgates.

COYS BIOYC

21. snagglepuss Wrote: | 21.47BST | Oct 25, 2008

Ramos does not speak the lingo its up to Gus to rouse the troops tomorrow. Come Gus drum a win into them

"Just remember one thing my son - no-one is bigger than the club. The club will be here long after you go. Us supporters ain't mugs (well, not too many!). To end - if you don't want us and our club ain't big enough for you, then f*ck right off." Dannyboy

"We're very lucky in the band in that we have two visionaries, David and Nigel, they're like poets, like Shelley and Byron. They're two distinct types of visionaries, it's like fire and ice, basically. I feel my role in the band is to be somewhere in the middle of that, kind of like lukewarm water." Derek Smalls

"Can you hear me! Tommy Trinder, Johnny Haynes, Dodi Fayed, Wolfy Smith.......your boys took a hell of a beating!" Sydney Wale

I am no longer connected with the club on a daily basis, but i'm delighted with every win and sad about every defeat." Steve Perryman

"Any player coming to Spurs, whether he's a big signing or just a ground staff boy, must be dedicated to the game and to the club. He must never be satisfied with his last performance, and he must hate losing." Bill Nicholson

"Bill did so much for his beloved Spurs that we must never let his legacy fade. He must be our inspiration as we strive to ensure that a new era dawns here at White Hart Lane." Daniel Levy

" 'Oh dear, it's f*cked', is what I've always taken it to mean. I do have O-level Latin. Now they've stuck up a literal translation, in large letters: 'To dare is to do.' The words just stand there, on their own, not making much sense." Hunter Davies

"When Gazza came to the Spurs training ground for the first time got the ball, went round 8 players as if they were not there and then smashed the ball into the net.

"I'm a miserable sod." Sir Alan Sugar
