    Very correct. A club of their size is doing well to be in this position. I'd even say a top half finish would be good for Spurs and a club of their stature <ok>

    The managers always tend to know what they are talking about and know the ins and outs of clubs better than most <ok>

    Well since there are at least five clubs who've currently got higher budgets than us he is right isn't he?

    Good to hear some realism coming out of 3PL for a change.

    No, Harry was in awe and amazement when asked about the prospect of finishing above clubs of Arsenal and Chelsea's stature <ok>

    Harry's got his feet on the ground and certainly doesn't live in cloud cuckoo land! I know this from personal experience! So what he says is certainly what he really believes! Although he's not a Blue --God bless him!

    Must say I admire your 9/10 year history but be truthful you are still a small club with big money

    Did you see that documentary by the way?

    What a prick Briatore is...wonder how many comparisons can be drawn between him and Roman?

    I'm sure QPR would be punching above their weight if they finished top 4 in the prem 3 years ago! as we would be now...

    I own that documentary and have since they day it came out a few months ago <ok> it was OK but it only scratched the surface, you could argue what went on before hand was more devastating to QPR fans

    And it's hard to compare to RA because RA brought you success and trophies unlike...

    If I were Abramovich FC I`d be rather worried, with an ageing squad and financial fair play fast approaching this could be the start of the demise. No longer will you be able to buy your way out of trouble, and it is time a small club like Chelsea were back where they belong in mid table obscurity.

    Lying git, if you were Abramovich FC you'd be ecstatic cos you'd have won more than a poxy Carling Cup. Why do you pillocks waffle on about FFP? Totally unenforceable and you know it. Roman will come up with a nice little sponsorship deal and it'll all be hunky dory and you lot can then disappear back to oblivion!

    Shocked he's said that. Preparing the fans for future disappointment. It's almost admitting defeat.

    Very weak comment from him and shows how've they've fallen.

    And thats the problem with Spurs. They feel uncomfortable about being that high up the League and do not have the mentality of a tough, successful team.

    That's because they have a better squad. Simple - like yourself.
