  1. Whats all this new craic about the # of better teams in Europe btw? Is that the new attendances argument.

     

    I've never said he didn't do a good job at Spurs btw. Finishing in the top 4 twice is good. Letting your own ambition to be England manage fuck up your season and likely break up the successful team you have put together over the past 4 years is not

     

    Is there any actual proof for that?....its what the media party line is but that automatically makes me think its largely bollocks. Am sure its part of the reason, but just because its the consensus doesn't make it automatically the case. What did he start doing wrong comapred to the previous 2-3 years? team talks brief and uninspiring? training consisting of a game of shove ha'penny in the pub round the corner? If you say that the players reacted to the uncertainty surrounding his future then thats down to the fickle bunch twats themselves (and no doubt their agents) but did they visibly "down tools" on the pitch?...Spurs form hit the buffers because thats what happens to some teams every season. Why did we blow a 12 point lead in 96?...why did manu blow a 13 point lead the following season?....I don't think theres any rhyme or reason to it.

     

    I actually think he FA were scared off from approaching Redknapp when Levy said it would cost them a fortune in compo and thats when the big fall out with Redknapp occured. Finishing 4th after looking set for 3rd minimum and being unlucky with Chelsea etc isnt grounds for sacking, thinking the chairman is a cunt for denying you the chance to manage your country and more than likely telling him so in the middle of contract negtiations probably is. And iyam we haven't seen the last of him in a court room, perhaps Levy knows the score on that.

  2. Mrs PL booked up to see Chris Addison months ago, I'd forgotten all about it....untill last week when she mentioned its tonight at 8pm.......so, she has managed,in the last few months, to book off and thus render useless for viewing football of any kind the last week of last season, the first two weeks of next season and now this. For someone who doesn't like football she seems to know a hell of a lot about fuckin fixture lists....evil genius tbh :(

  3. So they don't have to sell players would be my guess.

     

     

    Well yeah, but as you say they made champions league style money through sales last season and still kept challenging for the top 4... I think its fair ro say Modric is off, and Bale must be thinking of it, regardless of whether they need to sell or not.And my guess is they dont if your figure for last season is accurate. Any money for Bale and Modric can be added to last seasons profit. Theyre in a good place finacially iyam.

  4. Are the press protecting Redkanpp though?....to go from being a shoe in to lead the nation at a major finals to being on the dole in six months is a quite a fall.....why are so many key figures/institutions losing faith with him or having no faith whatsover in the first place?.....that drivel Gemmil posted this morning is an indication of how the print journos feel about him, are they holding the next thing he's going to be in bother with back, even though it may be getting whispered into to important ears by those itk?

  5. I think its more to do with Levy thinking Redknapp wanting the England job is what made Spurs fall apart in the second half of the season which ultimately cost them a CL place.

     

    I think they made about £27 million profit on transfers last season so ot could be they were relying on the money from qualifying.

     

    for what?...

  6. I've got BT vision and the package I have with them includes ESPN, I would have thought that they would just replace ESPN in that package with their own channel.

     

    Can you get the ESPN games on your laptop?....I think its about £9 a month just for ESPN?...maybe the BT games will only be available on broadband to those with a BT mobile broadband contract and thats where they theink they'll make their money?..

  7. The surprise was the arrival of BT as a major player on the football broadcasting market, winning the rights to show 38 matches and replacing ESPN. A spokesman for BT said that it would negotiate to appear on as many different platforms as possible. It was competition from new bidders like this which pushed the price of rights so high.

     

     

     

    Looks like BT are buying into the market so they can stream their package via their already set up broadband service. Good move on the face of it, but this "second package" has been a bit of a poisoned chalice. Will people swap from having skysports and their own broadband service?....doubt it.

  8. "Full #thfc statement with Levy and Redknapp comments. Note to Spurs: stop calling him Harry. You've lost that affection http://t.co/xqR70pwz"

     

    Tweet from John Cross at the Mirror. :lol: It's his name you fucking pathetic wanker. The press are ridiculous where this rentaquote arsehole is concerned.

     

    Just shows you if you've got the press on your side you can do no wrong. Levy went cold on Redknapp for whatever reason, thats life. Why this fuckin bairn is so upset on Harry's behalf beats me but just shows you the fuckin agenda some of these arseholes have. Utterly pathetic.

  9. If they lose Redknapp, Bale,Adebayor and Modric this summer then aye, its difficult to see anything other than a "transistional" season coming up.

     

    Poor old Spurs. Arsenal may lose Van Persie this summer but it looks like barring a fuckin miracle they're going back into the gooners shadow again :lol:

  10. agreed

     

    Germany play almost the same formation with different players and it totally changes the style, Khedira and Schweinsteiger instead of Van Bommel and De Jong

     

    if it was me Id be dropping Van Bommel but since hes captain I dont see it

     

    Khedira and Schweinsteiger are two of the best players at the tournament....De Jong and Van Bommel....well.....theyre not.

  11. Hmmm you explained that well. So people are claiming this practise has been going on for two decades? No wonder the claim is so high. Surely Murray has to be accountable for some of this?

     

    99.5% of it....they went under because of the debts and the way Craig White bought the club, nothing to do with this "big tax" carry on.

  12. Paddock Lad – the names of possible title winners I stated is after the results are changed due to the ineligibility, not just promoting who finished second. (someone on a SPL board did the maths, I am quoting from memory though)

     

    Makes more sense now,it sounds like your list may be those affected by cup finals,European places etc etc....fuckin hell :lol:

  13. To be totally honest with you, I don't understand the concept of "double contracts".

     

    Neither do I mate :iol: but if all the English players they got in the late 80s and early 90s werent just there for European football but were induced to sign because of what are basically,in the eyes of HMRC, illegal payments, then thats cheating. The last 25 years of RFC will then be removed from history. But the case hasnt got to court yet, Toonpack may be able to rell us why he thinks its nailed on that theyre toast?...
