Dos Santos is a God said:
Evening all,

I have just caught up with all the results. Defenders seem to have gone for their summer breaks already! Has anyone seen or read the report on the Swansea game? I wondered if Caulker was at fault for any of the goals. I must say living down here in the west country I have seen him develop from his loan spells at yeovil and Bristol City to a very capable Premier League Centre half. The good thing with him is he has had regular first team football for the last three seasons and improved year on year. He had a bit of an indirect dig on twitter in january when we signed Ryan nelsen making remarks along the lines of not another central defender, bring on the summer.' i hope he realises with Ledley, Gallas on their last legs and Nelsen being short term, his services will be relied on next season and hopefully he can develop into one of Tottenham's greatest defenders.

What he does need though is continuing regular football and if that happens to not be with Spurs next season then another loan in the PL it has to be.

From what i've seen this season, i think premiership defenders went on holiday last August, and have never returned!
 
City for me. I'm tired of seeing United win the league so City winning and going top is favourable to me.

I have a feeling you'll battle to a draw or maybe even nick it at the end though.

If City do win Schteff, it should illustrate to Spurs fans just how easy it is to lose momentum and, as a result, points and position to your rivals without much of a dip in form or loss of focus or changes in tactics or personnel. Or even when your players seem fresh and up for the challenge. The margins between success and failure are so small.

3 poor results over 4 games is totally different to our situation and if you go back to the Stoke game I don't think there was anywhere near the discontent we now see. Maybe if you lost and your run went on for another 5/6 games we'd see how level headed you remain. Unfortunately there isn't even the time for that to happen this season.

No matter how you cook it we haven't played well over this period and even though, with a touch of luck we could have another 4/5 points richer you can't say we have created enough proper chances.

Luke, if you had been on the run we had since Christmas, a significant proportion of your glory hunting fans would be scouting out next years Citeh kit. This is not a "blip"; We slid through blipdom into slump onto collapse and have four games to save the season and give ourselves the best chance of CL. Will anybody stop supporting Spurs if the collapse happens? No probably not. But in all honesty, I think we are well qualified to talk about losses of form. After all, we wrote the manual.

Absolutely spot on. Nobody snatches defeat from the jaws of victory like we do! We've been experts at it for decades now. Of course i won't stop supporting Spurs. I'm far too accustomed to this to do that. However, as much a Harry has done for Spurs to get us to this point, it's now the time for us both to move on.
 
Chelsea have scored against QPR inside the first minute!
<doh>

How useless can you get?
 
4-0. Torres, again.
Hughes is really helping out his old mates today, isn't he?
Wonder where he'll go in the summer?

On TalkSport, Andy Gray and that twat he co-presents with were both mooting the possibility of Mark Hughes' name being put forward for the Barca job.

No, I'm not making this up!

It was pure comedy gold when they said it (and they weren't taking the piss, either). Now, it's nothing short of tragic.
 
RDM has got the Chavs playing like they used to under The Special One, with confidence, and open, free-flowing football. it's clear for all to see that he is re-instilled in the squad a sense of pride and dignity that had been sucked out of them, under the previous manager. What's the betting that the mad Russian goes an messes everything up by appointing Pepe Guardiola, and he destroys everything that RDM has created, in an AVB-style apocalyptic cock-up?

If Pepe does join the mad Russian for millions, can we get RDM?

Which once again points to what a wasted opportunity our trip to Stamford Bridge was - we had the better chances to win it at the end, as Harry said (a lot), but we didn't actually win the game...
