I know someone who works at Ipswich and they are very pleased with Luongo and press reports on Ipswich's games confirm he has made a good start there.

However, it is very difficult for a young player to go from playing once every fortnight as Luongo was last season, to playing at Championship level every week and most midweeks, as part of a 46 game league season.Not saying he can't do it, but it's a big step for a young player and many have struggled with this.

They got a hiding the otherday too, didn't they? He might find it a long season if the rest of the side are struggling but from what I've read too he seems to be coping well.

This reminds me, I'm hoping to catch Brentford in the international break, have you heard whether Fredericks has been getting any game time?

Yeah, that's why I was exercising caution on Luongo, because often when a side gets a thumping and then another bad result like last night, then quite often a manager will take a young player out of the team as it's the "safer" option, however well that youngster has been performing.

I am pretty sure Fredricks has yet to start a game at Brentford. I know he's made a couple of brief appearances from the bench, but I don't think he was used at all last weekend.

Ah, thanks. I saw they won 5-1 and was hoping he might have played a part in it.
 
Some guy has hacked Nasri and Adam's (and supposedly more) and written obscene messages as well as expressing their love for Cristiano Ronaldo! Brilliant! <laugh>

I have seen interviews with all those who were sacked in the summer - Harry, Bond, Jordan and Allen, and all have had words put in their mouth by the interviewers and none have said a bad word against us. I respect them for that and I like to think others will do the same.

Spurcat, my frustration comes from exactly what you've mentioned here. It's not harry. I like the guy, I always have and i respect everything he's done for us.

The problem, is he's too willing to talk to the press cause he's such a nice bloke. As a result, the journo's twist everything and use wording to make what he said look different to what it actually was.

I just feel at the moment with a new manager on board, we could do with not having any gossip that could be turned negative. A start would be for our ex manager to just not say anything at all, until things settle a bit.

<ok>
 
There's no such thing as bad publicity--had to be an American who came up with that one. But it's half true. Tottenham's profile did rise a lot under Harry. Mostly it was because we won. But partly it was having an ideal head man for the media: a walking caricature with a word for everyone.

For your information, Harry actually rebuilt a lot of damaged relationships between Spurs and certain media outlets. When Harry arrived, things were at an all time low between the club and the media, with at least 3 newspapers banned from the Lane and certain press privileges withdrawn for several senior journalists.

When the Tottenham Supporters Trust group met with Daniel Levy at the end of 2010, they expressed concern that Harry was getting 'carried away' with his media interviews, and Levy said the views of himself and the directors of the club, was they were delighted he was doing this as it was of great benefit to the club, they enjoyed the higher profile and they appreciated the better press he was generating.

That he continued to take a higher profile and this higher profile was geared towards himself over the club, cannot be disputed.

There are a lot on here who wish us Harry fans would stop mentioning him. As a Harry supporter, I wish his critics would stop moaning every time he now talks about us on TV. That's what he does. That's what he has always done. That's the way he is. Live wth it. It's not as if he's slagging us off.

It's upset me which is more important tots. We often struggle against teams with a connection with us ie old strikers scoring against us and whatnot. Chris Hughton is at Norwich which is concerning me a bit which is why I want a solid 2-0. I'm not saying that's what we will get I'm saying it's what we need.
 
Can it get worse?I hope not.

Game 1.Spurs unlucky not to get anything from that one.
Game 2.Should have had 3 points but goal given away at the end.
Game 3.Bloody awful first half.Second half a little better but apart from our new man's brilliant goal,never looked like getting another.Norwich deserved the 3 points.

Why is Defoe running around as though he's 13 years old and playing for his school team?
Is this going to be another 2 points from X games and will we have to call Harry back to save us........?

Levy must be home going bonkers as he kicks the cat!!!!!!!
