The Daily Fail hates us. I reckon it must be something to do with them being Nazis and us have a strong connection with the Jewish community.
Judging by their reporting in regards to Modric a couple of summers ago, it's just as feasible that they're a Chelsea paper so are merely biased ****arses.
HBIC in double-post shame Add a couple more names for the register, this time from the Mirror: Chris Richards - who broke the story (as Inda said earlier) Matthew Drake - who seems to be trying to get Nike to tear up their contract with Walker
The Fail posts another absolutely disgraceful piece of garbage journalism. Clearly Spurs haters... now there's a surprise! http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/fo...g-Real-Madrid-training-says-Sergio-Ramos.html If the title suggesting he "only" played for Spurs like we are nobody's is not bad enough, the supposed quote from Sergio Ramos is even more ridiculous: "The truth is because he did not play for a team in England that played in the Champions League - we did not know that much about him" I guess Ramos and Real Madrid must have forget THAT season Bale made his mark in the Champions League and when we played Real. Give me a break!
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/fo...development-squad-is-hindering-Tottenham.html I don't think JD has said much out of line here, 'it doesn't help the team' no it doesn't help the team when any player has to catch up fitness. So this headline is way over the top. http://www.dailystar.co.uk/sport/football/339377/Jermain-Defoe-s-rage-at-Andre-Villas-Boas
Martin Cloake caps an article about Spurs' deal with StubHub in this month's WSC with the following statement: "Unfortunately, like most leading football clubs, Spurs have no shame." Whilst he, unlike most journalists on this list, is clearly a Spurs fan (having written We Are Tottenham and The Glory Glory Nights), he does stick the boot in a bit too firmly, especially when comparing our stance on StubHub to the NRA's after another mass shooting.
That much is true, especially how we haven't put a cap on ticket prices on that site compared to other clubs that use the system, but the article in question sounds Mailian in its boot-sticking.
The Sun are at it again, this time Jan Vertonghen showing dissent in the ranks at being played out of position at LB, looks like the reporter drew the word 'frustration' out of him and has twisted into a transfer request....just being sarcastic! I haven't seen the paper and I won't subscribe online, but on SSN it looks like a full page article. The more popular view is that we have injuries there, and we are maximising his ability. A view shared by the more sensible ESPN.... http://espnfc.com/news/story/_/id/1605824/tottenham-jan-vertonghen-not-left-back?cc=5739
ESPN may be "more sensible" but they couldn't resist at the end of that article: "Vertonghen’s comments come on the back of recent criticism pointed at Villas-Boas for failing to protect injured goalkeeper Hugo Lloris." What is that supposed to mean? Are they suggesting some kind of cosmic connection between the incidents - or just wanting to remind people of other recent "bad press"?
I'd just like to point out that most of those 'poor journo' stories which you all laughed at and criticised so much earlier in this thread turned out to be true.
Jan's comments were given to a media outlet called Voetbal or something I believe so no doubt The Sun has twisted it. All Jan probably said was "I prefer playing at CB" and so suddenly it's been translated to "Vertonghen unhappy with LB role, wants out of Spurs!".
The Mirror is reporting how Defoe loves Wet Spam and he feels it was a "massive mistake" for him to hand in a transfer request after their 2003 relegation.
I beleive it means they have all the keywords in one sentence. It's optimal for driving search results and adverts.
No they didn't and they were poor journalism becuase they had no quotes and no tangible progression in the story to warrant repeating it everyday. They were so desperate they even regurgitated every Marca story which got so farcical that at one stage Marca claimed the Metro had quotes from Bale, a story which the British media then went and reported before it had to be pointed out that the Metro article didn't exist and the quotes were the exact same Marca attributed to Modric a year ago.
so Bale is still at Spurs is he? he didn't move to Real Madrid at all like those stories said he would, it was all a dream.
