Berbatov. The man with a face like a slapped arse.

A player in lilywhite should be 100%. Not 99%. Not 70% and without doubt not 30% which is what most of our players are on at the moment.

If Berbatov has gone against 'character' (remember, he has harped on about rejecting Utd for Spurs - and its well documented he is a modest down to earth man) and he wants out, then fuck him. For all his posturing and pretty boy looks, if he's gonna play with a dis-interested and negative attitude then I don't want him there.

If he now believes he made a mistake joining us and not going to a Champions League side instead, its because of the one season of success he had at Spurs - so surely he should continue to represent the team and build on that reputation? He signed a contract. But what does that matter in the modern age of football when players are more important than the clubs.

There's no doubt something is wrong with him this season. I heard whispers of personal problems, unrelated to football, but going from the incidents with Jol you suspect its more to do with the politics of the club and the tactics on the pitch. Maybe that's the reason he wants out. A player of his quality - a world class player - deserves the ball played to feet and not hoofed up field.

If you want, we can all hope that Ramos joining will place an end to all that happened before and if Berbatov reclaims his past form, we'll all be laughing again....at the opposition, rather than our inability to win games.

Berbatov is likely to jump ship to Chelsea this January while Drogba is off sunning it in Africa. Quick fix of a title push, champions league and silveware compared to next than nothing at Spurs.

That would make me taste vomit for months.

club politics, tactics, all that, yeah, it's shit
but it's no whisper the personnal matter: let me put it to you this way: he's form last year was motivated; the motivation is gonne...

I don't get it. Last year he had motivation and this year he doesn't? Just spit it out. He couldn't have been motivated to place himself in the shop window because he could have chosen Utd over us and didn't.

Anyone worried that commolli is telling us what we want to hear with the latest news from the club? Berbatov staying?

Doubt he is leaving. Nobody would want him after his giant sized sulk.

How many goals have we scored this season with the same routine: Robbo long ball, Berbatov header, Keano strike. The fact that he is not scoring doesn't tell everything about the Bulgarian's necessity in the team - in short, we'd be screwed without him.

Berbatov had a gay lover? Wasn't Mido, was it?

No. Think Kings Road.

Please draw me a picture. If its not such a big secret why dont you drop the mystery act and state it in plain English?
