"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
"Each season, there is a team that goes into freefall and gets sucked into the relegation scrap. losing becomes a habit, like winning and if we ain't careful, that team could be us." Dannyboy
"Clearly my words have gone to the highest level. Expect him gone in May" Jolsgonemental
"As a Spurs supporter of no half-measure, I will continue to support Jol, Hughton, the squad and the entire club, to the best of my ability and at all times" Yid 15
"I hear Glenn Hoddle has found God. That must have been one hell of a pass." Jasper Carrott
"White Hart Lane was always a place where I felt I belonged." David Ginola
"I would run through brick walls for Spurs." Graham Roberts
"Even now, when I go over to my mother'S house and dig out the old tracksuit tops I wore, it makes the hair stand up on the back of my neck. I like to think i am part of a special family. 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. Just to see him play like that made the hair stand up on the back of your neck. Everybody stood there and applauded him." Terry Venables
"We will not be pushed around by a bunch of north London yobbos." Rupert Lowe, Southampton chairman, shortly before his manager Glenn Hoddle left for Spurs.
""I earned the right to be in the team and fought every game to be in it." Graham Roberts
"The worst thing Spurs ever did was get rid of Keith Burkinshaw. They never replaced him." Graham Roberts
"When you've finished playing football, young man, which is going to be very soon, I feel, you'll make a very good security guard." David Pleat to a 17yr old Neil Ruddock
"If someone wants to give you a bum steer on who we're after, then so be it. If you want to know, ask me, because I have a list of players we want and Robbie Keane isn't on it." Glenn Hoddle, then Spurs manager, shortly before paying 17 mill for ... Robbie Keane.
"The biggest regret of my whole football career was leaving White Hart Lane in 1970.....my interest in football weakened after that. I was heartbroken" Jimmy Greaves.
"I know more about smalz herring than I do about football." Sir Alan Sugar
"The trouble with Christian Gross is that no-one had heard of him. The communication wasn't brilliant and as captain I decided to explain to him how things worked and what the players liked and were used to. I do not believe he listened to a word I said." Gary Mabbutt
"Always had a bit of time, make a little bit of space, look up, bang. And you know he could put it on a postage stamp from 40 yards. Mmmmmmmmm...." Ron Manager aka Paul Whitehouse, Spurs fan on Glenn Hoddle
"I'm a miserable sod." Sir Alan Sugar
"The great fallacy is that the game is first and last about winning. It's nothing of the kind. The game is about glory. It's about doing things in style, with a flourish, about going out and beating the other lot, not waiting for them to die of boredom." Danny Blanchflower
"Man in the raincoat's blue & white army." Spurs fans unable to use George Graham's name, 1999.
"We like a tackle at Tottenham. we're not pansies, you know. " David Pleat

Very good Harold, i've cum in my pants at that vid of Jessica, by the way my Lane of Dreams has arrived - looks good.
Is it true we've gone for Joey Barton - keep hearing things in my head that we are?
oh and first yes!
Reply to Sid Trotter:
Joey Barton is actually a ver good player. The shame is he is also an absolute tool of the highest order and comes from a scummy, scummy family.
A mates best friend is a lad called Jamie Tandy, an ex City youth team player (good lad by all accounts). Joey Barton on a team do (famcy dres party)decided it would 'be a laugh' to stub a lit cigar out in his eye!
Reply to Ginge1:
I will stop smoking!
im starting to think that Man U are for the taking next year... a strikeforce of Mikey Owen and Dimi might need some work and Berbacunt cant exactly be fit having spent the last month in the Big Brother house pretending to be a Doris named Angel!!
Reply to Sid Trotter:
Fancy dress party, he had a cigar, guess who Joey had turned up as..........?
Jimmy Saville! Cnut!
This must be the longest recorded silence from 'Arry.
I think he is going to struggle next season.....not in getting the team to play well and getting results, but what's he going to replace his "2 points from 8 games" catchphrase.
Any suggestions?
Reply to Rui Coster:
They do have that Rooney fella too, you know. I hear he's not half bad.
"We did triffic, staying up, with that 10 point deduction"
Harry R's new catch phrase 'We had 0 points at the start of the season'
Ha Ha !! that david Bentley pic looks so real !
LMAO ! can't help thinking we should give him 1 more season .
even if he was shit , why strengthen anyone else unless we got a decent fee 12 mil + or young ETC .?
Apropos of nothing, I'm becoming more and more convinced that davspurs is actually a character invented by the zombie Ring Lardner.
Either that or Jack Keefe has escaped from the printed page and manifested himself in the new electronic realm of the internets.

Reply to Longwell:
They also have a young ponce heir to the Ronaldo fashion throne, called Machedo, or some such name. They're there for the taking all right!
They'll still take a few trophies home with them, and I'll even put hard earned money on that with the bookies.
They are irrepressible cunts of the highest order, and they've still got the Ronaldo Money to splash.
Is it wrong to wish harm upon old Taggart?
Reply to Sid Trotter:
We have approached NU re. Barton but are only prepared to pay £5M, they are holding out for more and want other clubs to come in to push the proce up, obv want rid of him after end of last season. Martins is same situation, they want as many clubs as poss to raise the price. Bassong will sign, Levy just up to his typical tricks but times on our side.... Others on the radar that haven't been mentioned are Tiago, again, the brazilian beast and Reyes - nothing like Arry mixing it up with former Ass players...
Reply to weejp:
I know you can never write them off, but at times last season, their side was creaking (WHL in the league), You can always rely on the officials to bale them out when needs arise or huge slice of the jammiest luck ever.
The Fat Waiter was seething that they only lost two games last year and still failed to win the title,and let it get to him with his hissy fit at the Govan Grump.
With a midfield with the likes of Anderson, Nani or Gibson (Carrick aside), I think they'll struggle next season, Giggs' and Scholes' best days are behind them.
Upfront I think Rooney blows hot and cold (and that's just his temper), The Stoat is luxury player, flashes of brilliance, won't run for 90 unlike Rooney. As for Mr glossy brochure Owen, Rudolph's going senile ain't he?
Defence is probably their strongest unit, but having said that, Van Der Sar is not the safest pair of hands at the mo.
Bindippers will be strong again this year, Chavs are well, just exactly that and will be there or thereabouts, so are Arse the weakest link?
So is this just a roundabout way of saying, Spurs for Top 4?
(for the umpteenth year in a row?)
Reply to RunPigRun:
He`ll probably buy Winston to bolster his midfield, and Levy will let him go just as he always does
Reply to Longwell:
Is this guy famous in the world of baseball?
I'm sittin' here getting nothing done at work, as it's pretty interesting. Kinda brings to mind Kerouac's novella "Pic", I read about 6-7 years ago now.
Reply to Zima:
Unfortunately, I think you may well be onto something there, Zima
Reply to HarryHotspur:
Do not tell me that clown `Arry would land that criminal down on top of us. That is just the type of shite Redknapp will buy, do not be a bit suprised to see that cunt from Portsmouth landing either

He could always accompany Ledders down to Faces and act as his Bodyguard/Thug/Scumbag/Bitch.
Please select appropriate.
The longer this 'inactivity' continues, the more grim the 'worst case scenarios' become. Hey ho.
Reply to Nick_The_Greek:
I don't think 'Arry has the balls or the stupidity to bring back that cunt (presuming it's Judas you're on about, as SC is something I haven't joined, or will, so can't see the article).
He knew the beef the fans had with Ghaly, and wouldn't play him, and he'd be pretty fucking stupid not to know what we all think of that Judas cunt.
A small container load of salt to be taken with that rumour.
Reply to HarryHotspur:
Where did you find the tart you old dog
Reply to HarryHotspur:
Yeah, I just heard that Rose West was signing, along with her departed husband Fred to bolster the midfield.
Obviously it's gonna be a problem gettin' old Fred runnin' around a bit, as he's dead, but with Davspurs supplying the ephedrine, he'll be back to his old murderous ways!
Reply to weejp:
Lardner is reasonably well known in baseball circles, yes. His day job was as a sports journo for various papers in the American midwest, mostly in Chicago. He gained some notoriety as one of the important voices covering of the Black Sox scandal of 1919 and its subsequent fallout.
He's also quite highly regarded by fans of Jazz Age literature (think F. Scott Fitzgerald) and short stories.
Reply to Zima:
I hope this barton thing is just a nasty rumour. He is one of the most horrible disgusting disloyal pieces of shite I have ever seen. He has no discipline and i don't care if he is the best player in the world who would come on a free and play for nothing. HE IS NOT A SPURS MAN.
I feel a bit peckish, but I'm going to have to wait till later - might visit the vending machine.
Yeah, agreed DV, I didn't mention Shitty on purpose cos I think it will interesting to see how their new moneybags signings settle in. If they start poorly, they'll be playing catch and be throwing cash at it again come Jan.
Historically, they're as inconsistent as ever over the 38 games,and unless Hughes has come up with a magic potion, I see that remaining the same this year.
I don't think the likes of Barry will improve them, not significantly anyway. Santa will get his share of goals, but beyond that I don't know.
I'm thinking with a relatively settled side, we'll do well next season, one or two in and out, (quality please Dan) and there'll be no repeat of 2 from 8 (please God!)
Reply to TMWNN:
I'll have a Kit Kat Chunky thanks.
FYI - as seems to be some misunderstanding of who 'the beast' is -
LINK%C3%BAlio_Baptista
even Arry wouldn't be so naive to bring back Judas - other thing I found out today is that he's getting married this summer, mates sorting bits out for him - still gay though
Reply to James:
"24 from 8" would suit me, sir
Can't wait for davspurs' take on this:

any news on the jean pierre papin transfer?
seems a bit drawn out this one
Reply to Devonshirespur:
Seven of nine?

How big are 'Arry's man tits?
Ps.
I am not a trekie
I'd bet chelski ahead of liverpuddle. Fewer unexpected losses this season I reckon. manure do seem to be grasping at straws, however, the window is nowhere near closed, rudolph has money to spend and for the better players they're still first choice.
Barton? Campbell?
The long silence seems to be getting to people.
Harry's being busy, not stupid.
Go on the Spurs.

Thought the girl in the Bentley pic looked a bit out of place, so I did a (very) basic re-edit

I have no idea why that's reply to...
Reply to MysteriousStranger:
Maybe it's because of how much I enjoyed the picture. Would love to see a poster shot of a glam hairdressers full of Spurs players fixing other players' hair.
Too much to ask?
Who's the coquette? She's adorable.
Reply to 9__37:
I believe it to be Jessica Alba. The "cockette" is John Terry!
Reply to el:
Erm... possibly
Reply to el:
Featuring past players, too? Alfie Conn and Chris Waddle could visit the salon. You could even cross-pollinate the present with the past, and have a special section for syrups. Who was that bald Dutch defender? His name escapes me.
Reply to 9__37:
Johnny Metgod. I'm doing well with names today I think!

Reply to MysteriousStranger:
Thank you. I need to get out more. Preferably with her.
Reply to Devonshirespur:
Well we've got 19 points from 8 games, last year when I came in, it was only 2 from 8. Thats 'triffic progress in't it.
Reply to MysteriousStranger:
Again, thank you. I was always uneasy about his bald pate - seemed unSpurs-like. The mops of Hoddle, Hazard, Waddle, Villa, Ginola et al were far more pleasing to the eye.
Reply to Ginge1:
Seconded
Reply to MysteriousStranger:
Too good not to steal
So is the Continental rocking a huge boner in that picture, or does he stuff his trousers?
David Bentley's playing Andy Murray on centre court. Must have started pre-season early.
Reply to HarryHotspur:
morning and er.. i mean evening all!
Sorry but I have only just recovered from Blur at Hyde park last night! SUPERB! I think....what i can remember was superb!
Any way i start to get my faculties back when I see a story on the news that tells me OWEN of the minty humbugs has gone to Manure? Is this some kind of sympathy signing or has red face lost the plot?
And by the way....i was the man shooting that Jesssy Alba vid just before the battery on my camcorder went flat! DAMN now no one will believe me!
Fukin Owen sined with Manurre WTF
LINK
yep, owen gone to man utd on a two year deal. although he's out injured for 8 months as he pressed to hard with the pencil signing his contract and has broken his index finger!
what we need is to sign who we need to vastly improve our team before/regardless of who we sell. the players who don't raise their level to compete for starting places will soon get their agents to sort out a transfer.....
we'll end up with no-one or paying higher prices fighting for the left overs.
I have been pro michael owen for the last 2 years and having owen/defoe competing for the 'little striker' position would have been great for spurs.
suddenly he is good enough for man u and loads of dickheads will be saying how good he is again...has he passed his medical?? are owen and fergie planning to dominate the gee gees???
i just think we could have got owen long before man u stepped in ( before and during the ronaldo transfer ).
I like the look of...
marcus berg/
jk huntelaar
bastos/j cole
maxi rodreguez
baines
also a combative defensive utility player would be nice.
I thought loach was pretty poor for all of the goals v germany u21...
all in all, i just have an opinion and KNOW that harry has always suprised people with his signings - i kind of expect a load of english players to sign for him
Whilst all around us are fishing in deep water for the salmon, barbel, a rainbow trout or even a chubb or two........... we're paddling in the shallow end with a kiddy's net hoping for a loach.
Are we minnows?

We will spend more than Manure this year
