I think Peter Crouch found the net okay....just at the wrong end

I think Spurs were pathetic, why oon earth does Harry pick Crouch, there is Pav and Defoe on the bench.

Crouch was terrible, no only does he get sent off in the Euro game, he then scores for City.

There are several players that must leave in the summer, Crouch and Gomez, give Cudicine, he was great last night, and this sore back lark from Harry was a farce, this season we just burn't out and don't have the power to keep up with the pace.

Levy must spend the money now, enough of this 'cap' that Spurs have, start spending.

Pog66 · 11-05-2011, 16:18

The gossip is Ben Foster in & Defoe & Pav off if a good offer comes in...according to the...ahem...Mirror

I disagree with you Arthur, to say Spurs were pathetic is just plain wrong. They actually played some good football but yet again the problem was sticking the ball in the oppositions net. They are making chances just not converting them on a consistent enough basis. To many draws!
Looking at the spurs strikers stats this year makes woeful reading:

Anyway good luck against Liverpool, i thought the way your players wished the City players good luck after the match was a credit to the club.

Hi Matty,When l say pathetic about Spurs, is for the way they don't put the ball away, the golden chances over this season they have had, they should be at the top of the league.
Years ago, they used to be known as 10 minute wonders, as they conceded more goals in that time.

They MUST rebuild and Levy must open his cheque book - but l bet he won't.

Them moths need to fly some time

I wonder if we`ll see some big changes at Spurs this summer or just a bit of tinkering Arry style?

I really can`t understand why he doesn`t play Defoe, personally i think he`s the best natural goalscorer from England around at the moment. Give him a few chances and he`ll normally tuck one away.
Is Levy more worried about wage structure and balancing the books, i suppose only the future will tell.

Do Spurs=Arsenal ???

Some interesting facts:

Spurs have won 1 of their last 13 matches.
Since beating AC Milan, Spurs' record is identical to their record after winning the League Cup. Ramos was sacked.
Redknapp's net spend since joining Spurs is £60m. They rank 7th in the highest wage budget.

Why, not only is Redknapp not receiving flack but being defended by mainstream media hacks?

Far better managers than Redknapp have, are and will be under pressure and scrutinised for such a record. But yet again, Redknapp's chummy relationship with the media proves it's worth.

Fun and games at the Hearts vs Celtic game.

Neil Lennon gets attacked by a fan and there seems to be trouble kicking off round the stand

First all I think you need to give Spurs leeway considering the entire season they had, it isn't great but it's hardly been awful either. So I actually think any excessive flak is unjustified.

However I totally agree that certain other managers, pretty much all of them, would be under a lot of pressure by now. It is because of his relationship with the media and it's absurd that while Wenger gets immense pressure from the media for achieving 3rd with the same kind of resources, 'Arry gets none.

This is getting more and more absurd. The SPL needs to do something, it's becoming really damaging to the image of Scottish football, something which was already not especially great.

I think the spectator was trying to do some thing about it...

been away for a week but all i'll say about Shearer is great player who can't spell his name properly ;-)

Hopefully that moron in the Celtic match gets a lifetime ban from football.

The Hearts fan should get some kind of punishment as well i suppose

Arthurgray50@blu · 12-05-2011, 13:04

PLEASE, someone explain to me, I have seen some great managers in charge of Celtic, so why is it that Lennon is a hate figure, his record this season has been poor, but for unkown reason, someone is trying to kill him. he gets attacked by a fan - and people say its becuase of Rangers, l don't know why, is there someone out there who can explain it.

It's mostly down to the sectarianism in Glasgow. The knuckle draggers on both sides of the divide either love or hate him.... and it's nothing to do with football.

I'm a Celtic fan and strongly opposed Lennon's appointment. With his history of problems playing at International level there was always going to be trouble. He is quite an obnoxious and aggressive character who has had a diplomacy bypass but he doesn't deserve what he's had to endure this season.

Arthurgray50@blu · 12-05-2011, 13:27

Hi LondonRoad, thanks for that IF Lennon is bringing bad feelings to Celtic, then WHY don't the club sack him.

Lennon is bringing so many problems to the club, surely it is tarnishing the club, last night he had more bodyguards coming off the pitch, then l have seen for officials.

Something must be done to stop a big club going down the drain with this aggro round every corner, l watch BOTH Celtic and Rangers, and my wifes family come from Glasgow and are all Celtic fans, and don't like me watching Rangers, BUT l say ITS FOOTBALL.

I am a big Spurs fan, but l watch all football.
