I heard something similar. I've a mate who knows one of the medical staff at Blackburn. Before the season started, he told me to put some money on (which I didn't, fortunately) Paul Ince to be first manager to go this season as the guy on the medical staff said that he was already extremely unpopular with the players. Granted, this link is a bit tenous coming from a mate of a mate as it does, but the lad has no real reason to lie.

Isn't Hitzfeld manager of Switzerland? He did well last night!

Strachan is generally pretty good and Cloughie was class.

Didn't Sir Les go to school with Dennis Wise? Get the big man in. That said, I'd be willing to bet Sir Les thinks that Wise is an odious little prick also.

Xisco Inferno Any photos of him and his mate in training yet? I think they are both still on intenational duty. They're in for a shock when they get back.

Absolutely, skin colour has f*ck all to do with it. It has all to do with social and economic circumstances. It is to do with society, not skin colour. As for all these people spouting the 'PC gone mad' rubbish, these tend to be the same people who like to start their sentences with, "I'm not racist, but.......". The irony of your prejudicial remarks in the cause of "non-prejudice" is most amusing. I think he was beiong prejudiced against Mail readers so he gets a pass. Prejudice is prejudice is prejudice, I'm afraid. Fair enough, I am prejudiced, against Mail readers - I think I can live with that!

This is priceless stuff from Ashleyout! Keep it coming, the board's mong quota has needed a shot in the arm ever since Torres left. Care in the community in Leeds has a lot to answer for.

Class I still smile about the day my grandda told me he's seen "one of them durex sheepdogs" in the park A friend of my Mam's refers to 'condo's' (i.e. American for 'flats') as 'condoms'. My ex's old man used to think the singer Dido was called Dildo.

Knowledge or basic research have never really been a prerequisite for pontificating on Talkshite.

I'd be happy to chip in like. We could sell tickets for it, would more than cover the bail.

Agreed, bunch of cunts. Levy won't stand for it if there are really bigger offers. Berbatove has to agree to it though. If Man Utd (say) offer £28m but Real and Man City offer £36m, if Berbatov doesn't want to go to either Real or Man City he can refuse leaving Spurs to either accept the £28m from Man Utd or take Berbatov back. I'm not saying that this will happen but it isn't as cut and dried as highest bidder wins, Berbatov has to consent to the move also.

It's the school holidays, his mam doesn't let him use the computer when it's sunny and he should be out playing.

2 games, 2 wins. Meanwhile, back at Spurs... When you're a striker its all about how many goals you get fella. Try telling that to Stephane Guivarch - that cnut has a world cup winners medal.

If we are not going to sell him then why did we go public with the transfer request?

Someone else will be to blame, that's for sure.

Looks like Anorthosis Famagusta (who are managed by Ketsbaia) are going through to the Champion's League group stages. That's some effort from Ketsbaia to get a Cypriot team through.

The thing I am most looking forward to is Steve Van Klaren's post match interview to see how the accent is coming along.

I think O'Neill is doing a decent job at Villa and, like Keegan, is generally good for football. Nothing against Villa, generally quite a likeable club in my eyes. We have pissed Milner about in the past and if Villa need a right sided player, Milner doesn't want to be here, and we get around £9m, then nobody really loses out. I am just pleased he played so well last night as that will hopefully help bump up the fee a little bit. As for replacements, would take any one of SWP, McGeady or Joaquin as these are all more than adequate replacements for him.

Decent player but no world-beater. If he doesn't want to be here then no point in keeping him. Just make sure our fullbacks give him a shoeing when we next play against him. £9m in and use that money to get someone like SWP to replace him and I'll be happy. If he needs help settling in in the Brum or Liverpool, maybe he could take fellow Yorkshireman, Alan Smith, with him.

Good performance, played some excellent stuff, just let down by a couple of lapses. Shite opposition but it was nice to see us playing with pace and movement. Thought Milner and N'Zogbia were the pick of the bunch with Milner just shading it. Our corners were piss poor though.

To be fair they got shat on by Bristol City this weekend....I wont comment on the quality of both your goals. Is that what you are reduced to you fucking bore? Debating the aesthetics of our goals. Jesus wept man, get a grip.

Did someone drop you on your head as baby? I was on the phone to a company there, Believe by Cher came on as the hold music, and I was thinking of SPURS and reading this page at the same time. Are you more obsessed by us than the mackems are by you? Says the man who spends half his time on another team's message board.

No Jeff Thomas? Michael Ricketts and Tony Daley can consider themselves unlucky to not have made the team.

For a little fella, Owen scores some amount of headers.
