No wonder we can't sell any of our unwanted players

Reader Comments (56)

The Bent brand values made me spit coffee.

Harsh, but fair.

Jul 3, 2009 at 11:21 PM | Unregistered CommenterTel

Bentley is lush.

Jul 3, 2009 at 11:22 PM | Unregistered CommenterJenny

Worked for Owen. I still have faith.

Jul 3, 2009 at 11:22 PM | Unregistered Commenterecho

Bentley isn't going anywhere. Reckon he'll be staying put. The club can't even sell Zokora, let alone drop their valuation of Bentley low enough for Villa to meet.

Jul 3, 2009 at 11:24 PM | Unregistered CommenterLeft on the Shelf

I'm gonna miss Zokos dancing moves. Always a welcome sight at the end of a winning performance.

Do do do....

Jul 3, 2009 at 11:28 PM | Unregistered CommenterJep

What are we asking for with Zokora? We signed him for £8M although that might have been £6M with add-ons. We can't expect to make a profit on him. How much are Sevilla meant to be bidding? I like Zoko, but only when he covers the RB position. He's superb there because he doesn't need to think much.

Jul 3, 2009 at 11:32 PM | Unregistered CommenterBlanchflower

I think we want £8M for him. But can't believe everything you read in the papers.

Jul 3, 2009 at 11:34 PM | Unregistered Commenterecho

he's better now than he was when he joined, ergo he's worth more than we paid for him!

Jul 3, 2009 at 11:38 PM | Unregistered CommenterFrazzle

Considering how inflated prices are 8M is a decent asking price. We do need to start shifting these players out quickly though. Harry does have money to spend right??

Jul 3, 2009 at 11:47 PM | Unregistered CommenterWest Stand Bagel

Fucking 'ell Spooky I know you don't rate Bent but that's just plain cruel.

Jul 3, 2009 at 11:49 PM | Unregistered CommenterPaxton Yid

Zokora good as full back v Ashley young springs to mind we need to get in a left winger and strong centre back, bentley was never really given a chance which is a shame his been played Rb lw rw cm could have been good but we've got Lennon.

Jul 3, 2009 at 11:49 PM | Unregistered CommenterGlory boys

All you do is slag of Spurs. You need to be so derogatory about the club you are meant to be supporting? How is this pro-Spurs?

Jul 3, 2009 at 11:51 PM | Unregistered CommenterDent

Love the Bentley one.

Jul 4, 2009 at 12:09 AM | Unregistered CommenterShelf Side Warrior

Once again...rumour after rumour...Harry wants .!!!..Spurs to sign.!!!...spurs in talks with !!!......!!! seen at WHL.
or biggest of them all Sky Sports sources say !!!!!!!!!!!!!...oh, and not to forget, my best friends kid goes o scholl with, and they said...!!!!!...As much as it keeps the interest going throughou the summer months. i for one will wait for the press conference, Harry Interview, Deal announced to the stock exchange. or a player seen in a Tottenham shirt.....ok not a great site (really dont like the new strp)....

Roll on the new season, hopefully preceeded by an injury free pre season, and with all the optimism in the world.........top 6 for 09/10

C'Mon you spurs.

Laughed out loud when I saw Darren Bent's. :-)

Jul 4, 2009 at 12:35 AM | Unregistered CommenterJames147

I've been reading for a while but I just had to comment because this was hilarious. I'd name a favorite but they're all good.

Jul 4, 2009 at 12:38 AM | Unregistered Commentermiamispur

LOL! Thats the best yet Spooky! Keep this up, we might let you back on Glory Glory :-)

Jul 4, 2009 at 2:19 AM | Unregistered CommenterJon

spooky, your really starting to like the sound of your own voice. give it a rest. ta

Jul 4, 2009 at 3:42 AM | Unregistered Commentergloryglory

Bent & Zokora need a few more brand values,

Zokora - has a good song for the fans to sing

Bent - Is prolific at using the phrase 'yeah definately'

Jul 4, 2009 at 7:31 AM | Unregistered CommenterGinge1

To be honest I like Zokora, he is a good squad player. My best memory of him was in the CC final against Chavski, when he couldn't watch the penalty being taken and then SCREAMS when he hears the crowd go mental!!!! Just a shame he didn't score himself that day and he bloodywell should have!

Jul 4, 2009 at 7:48 AM | Unregistered CommenterYid In france

Blimey if all Man U could get was Owen then I don't hold out much hope of us signing anyone decent. We may need to hang onto the players we have - who could we sign that is demonstably better than Bent? He is limited but he is quick and can score. If Palacious is injured or more likely suspended then we might need Zokora as cover - he is a hard worker after all - if only he had a football brain.

Jul 4, 2009 at 7:49 AM | Unregistered Commenterhoxtonboy

Sorry mate but this site is shit. You are the exact type of spurs fan the gives the rest of us "whinging spurs" reputations. I've been following the site for a while and all you ever do is slate either the club or someone to do with the club players etc. I have seen less shit putting down spurs on a scum site. Why don't you do us all a favour and fuck right off. Close this shit site down with it's piss poor derogatory comments about a club you "love". Fucking knobs like you irritate the fuck outta me. Go support the scum u prick.

Jul 4, 2009 at 8:14 AM | Unregistered CommenterAndy

Spooky, please send these to :rednose80millionburningaholeinmypocket@manure.com. Hoxton boy does have a point in that there is no point in getting rid of too many potentially useful players unless we have replacements lined up - bit of a balancing act because we cant sign anyone unless we know we have buyers for some players. Its a major strategic challenge for grandmaster levy.

Jul 4, 2009 at 8:37 AM | Unregistered Commenterleonardo

Ever wondered wonder why players who look so good elsewhere fail at our club so often, people like you taking cheap shots at them and not supporting them, knocking their confidence and providing ammo for other fans. Cannot believe people like you, support your team for once instead of constantly knocking them

Jul 4, 2009 at 8:45 AM | Unregistered CommenterYou are a prick

Blimey Spooky, you seemed to have rattled some cages with what appears to me to be a harmless bit of fun. Those that have been derogatory towards spooky, well thats just fine. You see its all about opinions and without them the club would certainly never move forward. Also, we British (but particularly the English and especially us Londoners) love a bit of satire, its what we're know for. So untwist your knickers and either look and laugh, turn the other cheek. Oh, and its people like you (referring to Mr Prick here) who give us a bad name. Try using language that makes you look less like a gooner, after all its they who are the scum.....

Keep up the good work spooky

Jul 4, 2009 at 9:47 AM | Unregistered CommenterGotThemNotStir

Apologies to Mr Prick, it was in fact Andy who was doing a fine impression our less sophisticated gypsy cousins.

Jul 4, 2009 at 9:49 AM | Unregistered CommenterGotThemNotStir

Andy and You are a Prick - if either of you have been following the site for a while, how about some feedback on Spooks serious posts that are probably as insightful as anything you will read on the net? Oh what? You ignoring them and just picking on the stuff you don't like? Fuck off you mugs. You are the exact type of Spurs fans that Spooky takes the piss out of. And you're too fucking stupid to see it.

Spooks - keep up the good work. Spurs fans have good sense of humour (most of the time) and we can see what you're doing. Fucking morons who can't have a laugh don't even deserve to be acknowledged.

Jul 4, 2009 at 10:00 AM | Unregistered CommenterOops

Sorry mate but this site is shit. You are the exact type of spurs fan the gives the rest of us "whinging spurs" reputations.

Bullshit.

I think Spooky is being way too generous with the Darren Bent brand values.

Jul 4, 2009 at 8:45 AM | You are a prick

-

If players move away because of supporter criticism its more than likely because of the so called fans who abuse them at games rather someone who posts a tongue in cheek piece (which personally, isn't my best work by a country mile). Cheap shots/knocking their confidence? Have a word with some of the knee-jerkers in the Park Lane and East Stand who slag off players like JJ constantly and moan and groan when he mis-places a pass. That's more likely going to hurt a player than a fucking blog article read by about 10,000 passing Spurs fans. Honestly mate, get a fucking grip of yourself.

Jul 4, 2009 at 10:17 AM | Registered Commenterspooky

HILARIOUS!!

Jul 4, 2009 at 10:27 AM | Unregistered Commenterthe chicken

30,000 people at WHL made it quite clear what hey thought of Darren Bent last season. Somehow I don't think a blog is going to hurt the players in quite the same way.

The two above who slated this place are the EXACT type of humourless cunts we can do without.

Jul 4, 2009 at 10:28 AM | Unregistered CommenterJep

Why, after all this time, do people insist on misunderstanding this blog? You'd think if they've been following it they've have wised up by now.

Jul 4, 2009 at 10:34 AM | Unregistered CommenterWest Stand Bagel

How dare Spooky take the piss out of the club he supports. His time should be better spent slating other clubs. That would be so original and funny.

Jul 4, 2009 at 11:04 AM | Unregistered CommenterKingofKings

You have to seriously wonder about some people - do they really lead such joyless existences that they get so het up over what is, let's face it, a pretty fucking funny and not serious at all blog?

Spooks, I almost died laughing at this one (it's all about the Bent one) - keep up the good work, you funny shit.

Jul 4, 2009 at 11:04 AM | Unregistered CommenterBenny's Afro

Spooks why would you delete my post? I love a joke like the next man. I'm one of those park lane fans and believe me I react the same way at the ground. Todays blog was "humour" yesterday was "humour". The site has turned into one big fucking circus around taking the piss out of out shortcomings. A while back this sight was full of very well written and insightful pieces with some humour which I enjoyed. Now it's just one big joke. I don't post anonymously. My email and phone number are attached. You wanna email me your thoughts please do. I'm giving feedback on how to make the blog more interesting which I presume is what you want. Otherwise you can continue entertaining the uneducated clowns on here that probably never understood your good pieces. Peace. Andy

Jul 4, 2009 at 11:28 AM | Unregistered CommenterAndy

Andy - I did not delete your post. Also - regardless of what some people say - I'm not a megalomaniac who can't take negative feedback. I don't and never have expected to please everyone. If you look around at the countless blogs and forums and sites, each is a little different in both content and humour much the same as away from football one person might find a comedian funny and another might think he's a cock.

The reason for the lack of a true creative spark is because there is little to talk about at the moment, which is why I end up either talking about lacklustre ITK information or taking a swipe at something else.

When (if) something happens I can stick on my serious hat, but at the minute, people are dying of boredom. You can probably tell not a lot of effort was put into this article because its not actually meant to be taken seriously and anybody who thinks this damages the club or players has to take a step back and consider what the tabloid hacks do season in and season out when covering our dear beloved club.

that was funny!

go spooky go, you're a funny man.

people need to lighten up as well - it's a joke. i bet the people who react with anger in this thread are also those who hit people after jokes.

because they are thickos

Jul 4, 2009 at 12:27 PM | Unregistered Commenterbenp

The post you made the other week taking the piss out of Eminem's Stan was probably the funniest thing I've ever read on this blog. It was genius. And people who remember the early days of the letters back on Glory Glory would appreciate the in joke. I'm happy to take the humourous stuff alongside the serious stuff.

Jul 4, 2009 at 12:34 PM | Unregistered CommenterBradley

Spooks. Fair enough. Maybe I overeacted. I retract my earlier comments. I'm just fed up of wankers in the south standing panning every player every week. Your last post was well explained.

Jul 4, 2009 at 12:45 PM | Unregistered CommenterAndy

Every club has an element of impatient fans who react far too quickly and have outrageous standards that does not allow for a single mistake or error. We all get frustrated. Bent drove me insane last term, even with the goals he scored it was obvious that he is not the right player for us because he is suited to playing a particular type of style. Some fans had the check to bad mouth Modric early on when instead they should have been supporting him.

It happens. My article, in some twisted subtle way, is meant to highlight that.

I know its not everyones cup of tea.

Jul 4, 2009 at 12:49 PM | Registered Commenterspooky

Spooky you do make me laugh, you're off your nut

Jul 4, 2009 at 1:06 PM | Unregistered CommenterBlog Head

Andy you whinge like an gooner

Jul 4, 2009 at 1:08 PM | Unregistered CommenterBlog Head

Spooky mirrors the typical Spurs fan that other fans think we are. Its dangerous for him because people tend to mis-understand, and I guess sometimes there is little room to read between the lines.

He does whinge like a gooner though ;)

Jul 4, 2009 at 1:16 PM | Unregistered CommenterOracle

I was wondering when you planned on adding Pav.

Bentley, Zokora, Bent and Pav. That's around £54M spent.

How much of that would we reclaim? £40M?

Jul 4, 2009 at 1:24 PM | Unregistered Commenterfilthy

Spooky, you owe me a new laptop, as I spluttered coffee all over this one. This is (as ever) utterly brilliant, thank you.
