6. Hot off the press - Oscar dos Santos Emboaba Júnior 's move to the club has been cancelled - as the management of the Spurs shop refused to pay overtime to their staff.
I Wish for following ...... (this is a list, though in no special order)
.1 AVB avoids raincoats, and goes for neat dark suits, tracksuits or warm, Spurs trim puffa coats.
.2 There are no mentions of 'projects'; beard stays under control; the past stays there.
.3 A clause is inserted into contract: No 'writing' for the Stun; only allowed regular piece in Grauniad or Undependent: 'Great attacking football formations I like'
.4 We see lots of evidence of this good attacking football. We hold leads with possession football, played in the opposition half.
.5 Substitutions are positive and expect success rather than holding on or giving up.
.6 Nice snappy stuff is played in the middle of the park, together with working to retrieve possession quickly if lost.
.7 Gareth is not allowed to cut inside until he has skinned full backs on both flanks at least five times (each)
.8 Azza Blud ditto.
.9 BAE to practice the familiar smart change of direction until he gets it RIGHT always.
.10 Serious competition bought in up front, plus defensive cover; future goalkeeping continuity sought.
.11 Young players given experience regularly; a good policy of squad rotation develops.
.12 If 'he' goes, we get a good replacement soon, and 'he' goes abroad.
.13 We are referred to as 'we' (i.e. part of us , and not 'them' (i.e. those people that pay but are tolerated).
.14 New song found for manager very quickly - mentions the importance of ginger beards.
.15 We do, as supporters, what we know we do best .......... even when (as it will sometimes) it goes wrong.
COYS!!!
^ ^ Please pass me the rubber gloves .... I wish to dispose of some doggie poo ...........
2 pairs of rubber gloves for that one ,it looks messy,at least we wernt offered to meet in any park in England to fight it out like with a disgruntled fan who didnt like some comments about his post and he was Spurs ,,go to 'Tantric ' on this site .
Lengthy lengthy piece on AVB appointment. Will be posted this evening.
In the mean time...Welcome Sig to Spurs!
Troll alert....Troll alert...CFCwhateva seems to be perturbed that Spooky is deleting his farcical comments. Fair play to you Spooky people like this are so intolerable.
Sig - good signing
Welcome Sig. There`s increased talk about Oscar, may make more sense now we have a Portuguese boss.
Anyone know much about / seen anything of Oscar?
@moe- I've been informed that Oscar was last seen at some fancy award ceremony in Los Angeles not too long ago....joking aside though, it'll be interesting to see how this particular piece of transfer news develops. From what I can ascertain, this guy is quite some player.
AVB- the man who will make or break Daniel Levy's reputation. So no pressure then..
Nice to have some certainty at last. Hoping the club as a whole make fullest use of the next two months...
Van Persie has dropped his bombshell. Lord, please temporarily incapacitate the bright spark who came up with 'Mind The Gap' in his infinite wisdom..
