    As long as we don't get top four due to Chelsea being deducted points

    Mainly as I might have promised to run naked down my street if that happens...

    Watching the Maxwell documentary on Beeb 2 , makes me shudder to think how close he came to buying this club , I would like to think that it was one of the crew who lobbed him overboard paid off by a loyal band of Spurs supporters

    Edit: I have a massive dislike for him and the family as my old man was one of the print workers that Maxwell robbed of their pension fund

    I remember this game so well, I had just come out of hospital after one of many knee operations, still on crutches I made it from Tottenham Hale station and the place was packed , luckily a steward in the main stand took pity on me and got me a seat , got back to Euston to find all trains to Watford cancelled so an uncle who lived in Hoxton drove over to pick us up and put me and 3 mates up for the night ,years later I went to an evening with Stevie P and he told the story of how dirty AC were pinching spitting ,grabbing the balls was all part of their tactics , glad to say I recovered fast enough to make both legs of the final

    Note this well, in 1972 (all It requires is for a ref having the balls to do it) ...

    I still have the ticket! West stand, Block K Row C Seat 14 Price £1.20. Along side that is a Goodbye Greaves Match ticket, 17th October, 1972, us v Feyenoord, price 70p. I remember that game well, very nostalgic. I have many other tickets & its nice to look back on them 50/60 years later!

    Loved him. One of my all time favourite players. Bled Tottenham from his veins

    Still have the programme for that game. My memory of it - and most games of the time - was far superior to the reality! <laugh>
    I know it was windy, but by **** there was some real hoofing going on! Also comforting to know we were equally **** at freekicks back then! <doh>

    Possibly mixed up football and egg chasing scores.

    Will Smith has been banned from attending the Oscars for 10 years.
    What a slap in the face.

    The quiz is wrong as well - they ask
    True or false time. Warnock has said that he doesn't want a minute's applause or clapping at football grounds after he has died but a minute of booing instead?

    This should be false as What Warnock actually said is that he wants a minute of the fans singing Warnock is a ****er.

    Wrong, Colin is a ****er. <whistle>

    Will always be liked in Cardiff for 2 good seasons. Least said about the third one the better although very poor official decisions probably got the club relegated back to the Championship.

    A reversed, blatant penalty decision at Burnley, thank you Mike Dean.

    And a linesman who didn't see an obvious offside by a Chavski scorer as Willian's hair blocked his view. <doh>

    Got the Women's international on NI v Eng. They do like to say Ellen White is nearing Rooney's England scoring record.

    Is she **** though, you can't compare the 2 at all. After 7 games England have a goal difference of +67. I'd notch a few in that standard.
