Wonder if Spurs have been saving the best til last with regards to announcements? We’ve already had some great names and yesterday there’s no doubt Ginola’s announcement has gotten a lot of people excited but I have a feeling it won’t be the last.

Gazza has said himself he’s playing but Spurs have yet to confirm it, could there be an announcement either today or first thing tomorrow morning with regards to Gazza, maybe Ledley and...?

Bale?

And they announce he’s coming home in the summer
 
Have been in Barcelona this week for Mrs B's 50th. We didn't go to the Nou Camp, as I've been there before and we concentrated on more ethereal structures. However, it didn't stop me....We're in Gaudi's Sagrada Familia and......

Well if it's a Gaudi design that explains why it is so expensive. But the delay is minimal by Gaudi standards. It was started in 1882!

It would be interesting to look a the engineering calcs for the stadium. Gaudi hung bed sheets from the ceiling to help him design the architectural forms, in order to avoid bending moments (sheets and string can't resist a moment). If the stadium arch is parabolic and of constant section, then theoretically there will be no bending moments and as the bending moments in the trusses are a function of the length squared, the branches of the trees are breaking the trusses into shorter lengths, hence significantly reducing the moments on the longer spans.
It's quite interesting that Gaudi could do the same with a bed sheet and a ball of string, that modern day engineers require high powered computers and thousands of pounds worth of software to reproduce. To top that, Gaudi didn't have the benefit of reinforced concrete. A quite remarkable achievement.

Don't tell the salty rivals though, they'll say that we are trying to copy Barcelona.

Am sat along the 18 yard line on the South side (East Stand) row19. A roof strut completely blocks the view of the cockerel. Very East Stand!

This place is stunning. Everyone is so happy. COYS!

I trust nothing blocks the view of the pitch nowadays. I remember buying a restricted view seat for a NLD. I was dancing around a column all match.
