Spurs away to Wolves...this is no side show
Wednesday, February 10, 2010 at 5:55PM 13 games left. And tonight's visit to Wolves is a 100% 'have to bloody win no sorry pathetic excuses or what ifs' type of encounter. I know we can't and won't be winning all our remaining matches, but (with no disrespect meant) this has to be our three points. Grafted and deserved. It's considerably more comfortable a game than one or two other fixtures ahead of us.
The opposition might not be big, but the game is most definitely king-sized. Complacency? I damn you to hell. Plums are of no use here, bring your grape-fruits.
Can we do it? We can, can we not? You're not stalling your answer, are you?
So therefore, I expect to be pushing ahead with my planned demonstration outside THFC tomorrow, with one banner, one simple banner stating the words: DIE LEVY DIE
I am not asking for the resignation of any of the directors or the manager. It's not that kind of demonstration. I am simply pointing my finger towards the person solely responsible for the club and it's progression so others witnessing are left with no doubt as to the persons identity, allowing them to join in with proceedings. It's subtle, I know. And you might wonder why I'm doing this in German. It's dramatic. It reminds me of Klinsmann.
Harsh you might think that I'm waving my finger just at the chairman. And I do believe he should have done more in the last window. Not suggesting we over-spent or panic-bought. But simply worked harder to secure a deal for another midfielder. We've had since the summer to do so. The chance to consolidate is one that has been missed. Much like 2006. But the team is still more than capable. And we remain a club without (potentially) crippling debt.
I'm ignoring Harry's 'we can finish about Arsenal' media-friendly pre-match nonsense. And I'm happy to hear Luka speak of the Wolves defeat (back at the Lane) and how revenge is on the cards tonight. And although King will be absent, I can not disagree that if we do continue to play the way we are playing, we are going to hit good winning form.
I personally believe we'll smash someone to bits very very soon. Teams defend deep, suffocate space and make it a pain the backside for us when playing in N17 causing way too much fragmented urgency. Away, it's different. They come and have a go, allowing our players to use the space presented to them. It's ironic we are more comfortable on our travels. No always, but more often than in previous years.
We need to be lucky by making up our own luck. And we need to take a risk, both on the pitch and off it (then on it) - in the way of substitutions at pivotal moments in the game. Would be nice to see Niko make an appearance tonight - at some point. And the continued improvement of Bale and Bentley goes without say. But most importantly, we need to be patient. Much like we were at Leeds in the cup.
So, with those thoughts in mind, I'm hoping to see you all tomorrow, outside the ground at around 11am. In celebration of victory, and in celebration and support of our chairman. A love parade of sorts. A demonstration of endearment for The Levy; Daniel Levy. And the supporting cast of manager and players. Our support is very much needed. Believe. And the players will believe.
After tonight, its down to just 12 games and 36 points.
Can we do it? We can, can we not? Of course we bloody can.
COYS.

Don't have a cow man.
THIS IS ILLEGAL YOU TYPES OF FANS ARE FUCKING JOKES. HOW CAN YOU BLAME THE LEVY??? YOU ARE SICK IN THE HEAD AND I HOPE THE POLICE SHUT DOWN THIS WEB SITE
We;ll win tonight. No worries. Think we'll have way too much quality and I can't see them defending like they did at the Lane. 3-0 Spurs.
Hahaha @ 6:15pm
I will cry like a baby if we don't win.
And Spooky, stop fishing.
I am sick of you blaming Levy. I am a fellow of CIMA (FCMA) and a Heriot What MBA (not bragging) and therefore I understand running a listed company. Spurs are in a fantastic financial position thanks to Mr Levey and board financially and have an extremely strong squad. A lot of bad luck cost us at least 10 points.and we are learning how mentally to be a top 4 side. Our run and luck is due and I believe we will finish 4th and push on in the future to be right up there.
Dum..................dum...............dum di dum dum dum..........................................Yiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiidddddddddddddddddddddssssssssssssssssssss
Mark - Spooky is Levy's BIGGEST supporter. Don't let the hype consume you.
COME ON YOU SPURS!
Key to Victory: Bale on the bench.
what a waste of space this article is...Levy has been a brill chairmen and you know it...my god, we nearly went down last year and your fuckin moaning.
Masterful picture editing, right there. I could learn a lesson.
I will cry like a baby if we don't win.
I'd either do that, or giggle for a minute or five.
Good thing it'll be 10-1 for spurs. ;-)

A psycho, an accoutant, a man with no sense of humor, and ADD addled bon vivant log onto a message board.
Tottenham: Gomes, Kaboul, Dawson, Bassong, Bale, Bentley, Huddlestone, Jenas, Kranjcar, Defoe, Gudjohnsen.
Subs: Alnwick, Pavlyuchenko, Palacios, Modric, Crouch, Corluka, Kyle Walker.
Moddle is on the bench. Spooky you got your wish. Niko plays.
Never mind Modric, JJ starts. Wilson on the flipping bench.
Less of the "flipping" please, alt ctrl del - my old mum reads this blog. COYS!
Sweet pass from Gudjohnsen.
Oh yeah and sweet goal from Wolves.
Spooky, get your effigy at the ready.
Kaboul. Defending. Go together like bread and bricks.
Phew, should have been pen for Wolves.
Bale is awesome.
Happy with the selection Spooks?
Jep - Would have started Wilson and Modric. Niko. Cameo. Harry has chopped and changed. And no, this is not a knee jerk, repeat NOT A KNEE JERK.
Jenas is fucking shit.
Kaboul is equally as shit as Jenas.
Don't forget we're playing well and were bossing it, just can't take are chances. Fed up of having no luck and shit refs. Fucking pikey boys are winning as well and chelsea. What a shit night this promises to be :-(
Look at their players. Then look at ours. Now explain how we can be losing to them.
Have now played them for over 2 hours this season and still failed to score 1 goal.
If we fail to win tonight (which is looking very likely) we will struggle to qualify for Europa cup.

Knew it.
You watching the same game? We are woeful tonight.
Don't score at least two in the second half and we can forget 4th.
Time to show the courage and attitude that was sadly lacking at Anfield.
Can't find the game anywhere GB, but ian dowie said on ssn (up to there goal) that we were creating chance after chance and playing good football.
Why can't we score anymore!!!!!!!!!!
Palacios on please. Modric on please.
Creating chances no scoring it's the Tottenham way. We've got too many weak links in there. Watching Spurs is such a struggle. Second half has to be about 100 times better than the first. Bale has been great though.
After tonight I can safely take my heart out of my mouth and lodge it back where it belongs. No more looking forward to the next EPL with the anticipation of what each outcome does to our CL prospect.
"Bale has been great though.

No doubt but his jinx is greater.
Come on Spurs ffs.
thank god wilson is on!!!!! Jenus was sssssooooo crap!
"Palacios on please. Modric on please.

You got half of your wish come through.
It's not enough.
The way are league season is falling apart is seriously depressing.
same shit differnt year.
The Russian dare devil is about to come on.
Craps. Dawson is injured. There goes another defender on the sick bed.
This is so poor.
I can't wait for this to end so I can watch 'Lost'.
This is deeply embarrassing.

Might as well invite the entire team and Levy himself to watch "Lost" together.
Snap. The ARSE just compounded matters by scoring.
