Spurs Banter Archive February 07 2015

i and a few others should take our hats off to spurski. at the begining of the season a few of us said kane wouldn't make a top striker. spurski did say great things about him and said he will be a top player. defoe also said last week in youth games for spurs he was banging in at least 3 goals every game.

Yes spurski was right and is right a lot more than he's given credit for. The problem is when people can't see past the rain they knock down those who can. It's funny the doom and gloom that was being spouted out after 11 games that I said people were overreacting and said to be patient but got shot down by the masses on here. Well look at us now in 2015 we have beat Chelsea and arsenal and drew with united. On top of that we have a cup final to look forward to and have a genuine chance of top four and dare I say maybe our run in Europe could continue for a little while yet. Any of those people fancy giving me a apology? Anyway Raver, doesn't it feel much better being Positive about spurs?

Thanks lads. We are all passionate and it shows. Fans show their dissappointnent in different ways and tbh Kane didn't show us straight away how good he is but I had the benefit of some inside info and the players would laugh in training at just how good Kane was.

This is exceeding any realistic spurs fans expectations for a 'transitional season' and Pochettino is a big big factor. He is unbelievably popular with the players apparently. My only criticism is the captaincy appointments.

We are scouting lots of young talent now and with Paul Mitchell and his team and methods the future looks bright.

Supporting spurs can be painful but i'm glad some of you are now more positive.

Raver, try not to take too many pills tonight lol. I never told you but I was one of the co owners of Universe from Bath!

1985 and Spurski, we have had our differences but you were both right about KANE and being patient, apologies to you . Have always thought Mason would do well, not sure about Benteleb still but even he looks like he will prove me wrong .
It is frustrating supporting Spurs, and patience is a huge need so having a site like this helps .
Won't get to any games for a couple of months as we are moving down to Bath, but won't miss them on TV .

Davo, apology accepted. I'm not perfect myself and have also been wrong about things I've posted on this site so it happens to the best of us haha. I actually enjoy the banter with you Davo and sometimes try to stirr things up on this site because I'm not sure if you've noticed but our page has become very plain (can't think of a better way to explain it) compared to other teams. I am not over awed by bentaleb but for some reason we seem a much better side with him in the team so that tells me he's a vital player for us. Yes of course supporting spurs is hard work but that's the way we do things. The spurs way is always the hard way.

Kane only played 60 mins of Premier league football before Nov which makes his stats even more impressive. He has the best ratio of goals for a 21 year old in the Premiership ever, better than Ronaldo, Rooney!

Davo, good luck with your move to Bath its a beautiful city, expensive though.

Spurski, Managed to find a little pad 10 mins from centre but 45 back up a bloody big hill!

Davo, soundslike you moving to odd down, foxhill area? Just down the road from me! Help! Lol

Closer to Southdown, I don't know if they are ready for me yet!
Still, a bit of competition for the local builders I think!

Great performance and it's great to see Poch now knows who his strongest 11 is, Harry Kane getting all the praise which is rightly so but I think Mason and Bentaleb bossed that midfield today which helped a lot. Only frustration for me was Dembele who seems to take 1 touch too many. Rose and walker also had great performances

Couldnt have put it better myself northernspur!
Kane = The next sheringham

A very well deserved victory, enjoy your celebration's everyone especially 85

Cheers gunner, was worried I was going to be finding myself on your page shortly at half time. I'm at work and missed the game but going to have a few beers tonight. Much respect for staying true to your word and popping back with the congrats.

Both teams got exactly what they deserved today 85 mate, there was no injustice or reason to complain at all.
Just like you said yesterday, may the best team win and today they did just that.
Stick by this manager through this good time and even when things aren't going quite as well and then us finishing above you will not be a foregone conclusion.
Good luck for the rest of the season mate

Gunner, fair play for your comments. You seem similar to myself as in your love your team but don't get to caught up in the emotions and can give credit where credit is due. I still haven't seen the game but am very much looking forward to motd as you can probably imagine. Should be a very good end to the season as Southampton don't look like they are going to let up and I still would not write off Liverpool just yet.
Same to you mate, may the better team be higher come the end of the season. Also in hope you stick with your manager aswell as he really is sending you in the direction I would like you to go haha. What's your view on arseinfinger, stay or go?

Before the city performance and the way we set up with Le Coq I was 100% times up on Arsene but if he will change and adapt to a more mature modern adaptable game then I want him to see out his last 2 years.
To me winning is nice but not everything but being all you can possibly be is very important.
The 4th place trophy year after year with no DM and £?millions in the bank is not acceptable anymore IMO 85

I know what your saying mate feels the fans are being robbed of a potential good team and of course trophy which your lot were used to. The same feelings are felt by ourselves on the most part and many fans will tell you that had we just spent money at this point and that point then things would've been different but fail to accept that it's not as simple as it seems.
For example when we did spend money it effectively made us worse so it's more important to get the right players over spending lots of money. Well if the right player will not join you then what? Spend money on someone who you don't feel is right or throw even more money at another player who is of the same quality? Meaning a bigger gamble. Basically I think your lot have done well to stay amongst it whilst paying off the stadium because what is a decade if arsenal are around for say another thousand years? It's minimal really isn't it? The only question to be asked now is, have you fallen to far behind to ever really compete for the top prize again? The only thing I think arsein is unable to do is buy decent defensive players and that could become a major problem. That said I don't watch your lot as much as you do and you will know better than me.
