The Gooners are NOT in the Champions League they have the right to play in the qualifying round where they will lose to the Champions of Moldova or some other far flung part of "Europe" because as we all know they are "pants"
Bale will not be leaving the Lane, we will strengthen our squad and with the Mancs in disarray we will have an even bigger points tally next season.
But please tell me what drugs you are on suggesting any sane person will pay any more than 2 mil for the likes of The Hudd and BAE.
Dembele and The Sig will be better next season as will Holtby. Younis will return with Sandro.
So lift heads, be proud Spurs and look forward to heaping scorn and abuse when the Gooners get dumped in the qualifiers ha ha
Got to be in it to win it.
Boy you Spuds are sore losers!
Dumped in the qualifiers can you remember what it was like to be in the champions league. We gave you a 7 point lead and you fumbled it AGAIN. Bye bye Bale hello mid table. up the gooners lol
If we're 'pants' then what are you? You finished below us, or did you forget already?
Ted
Ha ha look at all these gooner trolls.
You won your cup final, well done.
If all you have to look forward to is this then no wonder you have to feed your players to Manchester.
This lot have been crapping it for months now, so much that the relief is plain to see by all these so called 'real' fans coming out of the woodwork.
Well done, gloat, it won't be long before you are all under rocks again hiding like little jelly fish. Again, well done.
20 May 2013 10:10:49
Apart from bale I wouldn't care who gets sold
Apart From bale non of them was outstanding just the odd good game at max.
Go on levy sell bale and we are mid table next season
I'm impressed with avb tho, he looks like he has a plan if levy backs him I'd like to go for the league and let the kids play in Europe. I'm asking for too much I know sorry
Me g
Mr g,
lloris, super jan, dembele, Carroll
Are you really saying you don't care if these players are sold?
20 May 2013 16:13:45
Carroll? you mad haha how can you put him in the same category as Dembele and Lloris haha
Because he is a future spurs star, not at the moment but in the future. He ill note sold. Any normal spurs fan would know this
Above but one poster is definitely not a spurs fan.
Carroll, Pritchard, cabbellos (spelling) and the like will hopefully be pushing for cup starts next season with a view to being first team regulars of the future. This is the reason Carroll as stated, won't be sold.
20 May 2013 10:04:59
The morning after. As reality sets in the following players I would like to see sold. Before you all have a go some of these have been with us for a while and we just can do it with them.
Huddlestone- 7m
Benni 6
Adi 7
Defoe 8
Lennon 12
That is 40 mil for new players fresh players hungry to win players. None of the above have done it this season a odd good game here and there maybe. We couldn't beak through with this team. With the top four to get stronger we also need to
Mr g
Agree please add to the list Dempsey & Livermore!
20 May 2013 14:20:41
surely you would keep Lennon and sell Townsend?
and hopefully find a replacement?
The South African
I like Lennon but don't think he is good enough to inconsistent & not enough of a goal threat
I can't see 7m for HUD. he's slower than molasses and the way he reacted after loosing the ball to Connor Wickham in our own half i'd say he couldn't careless either.
20 May 2013 09:22:56
Bale stay v go? we will probably know fairly soon. One thing a lot of people don't seem to realise is that with him on the pitch, he is the obvious outlet for all of our attacking plays, therefore no adjustment is made. If we don't have him, the rest of out team will adjust, and we will adopt a different style. We are a one man team, because of Bale. I honestly think that without him, we could still perform.
Just read an amazing stat.
Since 1st feb
Arsenal 35 points
Spurs 30 points
Man utd 30 points
Chelsea's 29 points
Anyone who says we blew it is wrong.
Every team has a bad patch or struggles. It's just our bad luck again that the goons went on that run and done us by one point. I'm not pointing fingers at individuals or games.
We have had a record season, a good season.
I'm proud to say we fought hard but came up short. Roll on next season. Hopefully we can build and move further on. I just hope the teams above us don't now blow us out of the transfer market.
Coys
Here here, well said. The only reason The bloody Arsenal always get so many points at the end of the season is the fact that they have nothing else to focus on. Celebrating like they won the world cup, any other club would have got rid of Wenger years ago let's hope they win f all next year as well. and when he leaves cause his contract is up they can look back at a 9 year period with nothing.
20 May 2013 08:41:48
Morning gents,
I appreciate it's natural to have a dig at Arsenal because you failed to make the Champions league.
We have gone through a period of 8 yrs of trophy less s****, selling great players and buying good ones in the name of a fantastic new stadium and FFP.
This season we sold RVP, you kept Bale, you were 7 points ahead a month ago, you held 3rd at one point and yet it's all our fault. We didn't make you play Gallas or buy Dempsey, we didn't cause your end of season fall anymore than we did last year.
You say we celebrate the 4th place trophy, under our circumstances why at this point shouldn't we. We look forward to better times.
You on the other hand have still to go through what we are at the end of if you want this new Stadium. let's see what position you're all celebrating with even more financial shackles on.
You could have had 3rd, it was in your hands, don't blame us, look at Levy, AVB and your players.
Stoner
Well said Stoner.
337
Look at those figures in the post above stoner.
Spurs did not blow it. You just went on an amazing run and pipped us.
Both teams should be proud of what they have done this season. I am proud to be a spurs fan today. We ran you very close again. Long may it continue.
20 May 2013 08:00:38
I would just like to say Well done to the team and all the staff for a great season. With a brand new manager with new methods and dare I say a weaker team than previous season we still achieved 5th. I know there were certain dropped points here and there but we have to get behind the team. I bet a large % of people at the beginning of the season spoke about us finishing 7th, 8th, 9th and they would of taken that with AVB at the helm and then pushed on after his first season. He has done wonders for the club and cannot wait for next season.
COYS
20 May 2013 01:34:17
What's hurts the most is that this is the worst arsenal team of individual players for a long time and spurs still couldn't do it. enough said
20 May 2013 08:18:53
Rather blame other poor teams in the league who easily gave arsenal the points - QPR, Wigan, Newcastle are all sh*t.
Why not blame yourselves for not picking up enough points? Or can you not bring yourself to do that?
Ted
19 May 2013 22:21:52
'Nearly' is not good enough. Nearly is failure. Spurs have failed this season. 5th is too bad for Spurs. NO funds from not qualifying for CL, less investment in players and definitely Bale too will be gone. Most annoying, the other top teams will be improving more than Spurs. Levy.
You obviously ain't a spurs fan. Stay on your own page.
Who would wanna be a spurs fan lol
That's why we are not plastic fans
19 May 2013 22:13:07
Desperately disappointed to lose out again to the Gooners by one point. Have to give them credit for taking 26 of their last 30 points where we only took 18. I pinpoint the loss to Liverpool when we gave away two dreadful goals as crucial. I also think that our home form was poor. In particular losses to Fulham and Wigan and draws with Norwich/w Brom/Stoke proved to be very expensive. Levy must take a share of the blame for not bringing in a quality striker in January particularly as Defoe's goals had dried up and Ade just was not performing. If we are to become a serious challenge for top four in the future, we must address our poor defensive record over the last four years. Arsenal were poor at the start of the year but it was their defence who mainly carried them through in the last 10 games. How many 1 to nil wins did they have. If you don't concede goals then you will not lose.
The Don
Adebayor started to perform in the Chelsea away fixture, most probably to try engineer a move away from the lane.
Disappointed with him this season, he is an immense talent and just didn't show it until it was too late!
Don, too much negativity. Arse last 11, Since we beat them, won 9, drew 2. They beat us by 1 point.
We got our record points total in the prem. a points total good enough for 3rd last season. We can't do any more.
You bring up the games we didn't win, what about the games we did win against both manc clubs and the gooners?
We are almost there, we just need a bit more luck, we have had our fare share though with late goals.
If we keep our core, we ARE there.
I do not think it is too much negativity. If we do not address our glaring weaknesses ie. our poor defensive record over the last three years, our inability to put away poor teams, and our average to poor return in the run in ( compared to the teams we are in competition with) for the last two years then we will never get to where we want ie. top four. I am a 100% Spurs fan for years but I am not blind to our weaknesses. I am not afraid to sign my posts either.
The Don
{Ed008's Note -Top post!
Good post The Don. next we will be celebrating finishing 4th as if we won something.
19 May 2013 21:50:28
Is anyone here happy with todays 5th place finish? I certainly am!
At the start of the season of lot of fans on here were not happy with the appointment of AVB and were calling for Harry to come back.
I said we need to stick by him and give him a chance, his record in Portugal was phenomenal, he was unfortunate at Chelsea and like most managers, wasnt given time to build 'his' team to play 'his' style of football.
After the sales of Luka Modric and Rafael van der Vaart we wondered where our season would go, many wrote us off and said without these players we would disappear back to being a mid table club. Our start under AVB wasnt great but we went on a fantastic run and 3rd spot looked like it was going to be ours, but we suffered injuries, players away on international duty and our form dipped.
But we still had a strong finish to the season, yes we dropped points v Wigan and Fulham and we only missed out on Champions League by 1 goal. I think with the right investment this summer ( a striker please Levy!) we can be up there again chasing that Champions League spot!
Have a great summer everyone!
19 May 2013 23:56:06
Im 100% Tottenham, how can anyone be happy with 5th is beyond me. We should of got at least 3r but we didn't and 5th is sickening and only a loser would be happy with 5th. Arsenal fans are pathetic, they say they ain't bothered about us and yet all they have been worried about is us and thjt they are such a big club and yet they celebrate finishing 4th like they have won something.
Short memory eh? (or new fan) Remember where we were 5 years ago and where we are today, and we're definitely on the way up with the team we're building, manager, training ground, and new stadium to come soon. that's why we're happy with 5th, we know we just have to be patient. On the other hand arsenal used to challenge for the ECL and PL title, now they are happy with just finishing above us. Oh how their standards have fallen.
RY
"Oh how their [Arsenal] standards have fallen. "
Maintaining Champions league football so as to pay for a brand new stadium was crucial for Arsenal. In the economic climate it's a miracle that they are where they are having only spent £9million net in the last 8 years or so. With that debt soon cleared and new revenue deals secured don't be surprised to see big changes in ambition and spending. This is why they were celebrating, because they know that having secured the extra revenue from Champions League football, additions will be made, and next season the pundits will be saying how they expect Arsenal to win trophies!
19 May 2013 21:10:15
oh when the spuds, they finish 5th, they'll be back in the europa lol, told you months ago
A GOONER
See you in January on Thursdays gooner.
You ain't worthy of it and you know it.
You are poor. We have been poor at home. Nothing splits us.
See you next season.
I can't wait.
So the gooners make "champions league" again.
this will be their 17th attempt at actually winning it.
and their supporters rejoice at this annual charade!
b/s
Have you ever seen totteringham win the league lol 61 NEVER AGAIN LOL
Yes were s***, but wer'e still better than you lol.
Youv'e got to be in it to win it lol
A GOONER
A gooner. Good time poster.
Typical gooner.
Sad, very sad.
Hurry along, school tomorrow.
They have won ther cup final.
Arsene whinger blows off FA cup, CL and league cup just for 4th and the coffers.
We try to win a European trophy and it costs us. So fair play to woolwich.
Well played gooners.
A gooner, story for ya.
Arsenal security have called police because of a break in at the library (emirates to you)
A break in of the trophy room no less.
A statement from the police read,
' unfortunately we have to report a theft from the trophy room at arsenal fc.
We are looking for 2 individuals, last
seen, carrying a carpet down the hollway road
19 May 2013 20:00:40
Arsenal fan here in peace hard luck lads it was an exciting year between our two clubs nearly had a heart attack today. You lot have a quality manager and like ourselves are just a few quality players short of a challenging team good luck next year hopefully not as much as ourselves ;) and in my opinion you lot will keep bale he seems like he loves playing there for your fans.
COYG
All this fans coming in peace stuff is ridiculous why is everyone being so nice to each, that's not what football is about
20 May 2013 01:22:19
They are being 'nice' because they are relieved.
19 May 2013 19:11:50
I'm worried for next season now. Europa League won't be enough to tempt the very best of players. AVB will be a good siren, so let's hope he stays. But with the likely departure of Bale (I cannot honestly think he'll stay another year) and the doubtful capability to sign players of his calibre. Maybe I'm just being tetchy. Surprise me Levy.
I have todisagree I don't think bale will be leaving for both personal and football reasons and if he does stay there will be the combined effects of having AVB, one of the best training facilities around and just getting to play with bale. All these things will be enough to attract real quality if levy is willing to pay up.
Robspur
If Levy/ENIC support the manager we will move forward. if not i'm afraid we will be watching l'Arse from below for many years to come.
19 May 2013 18:56:36
Bale is 23, just had a superb season and said how great his team and manager have been. His girlfriend has recently given birth to their first child. Would he give that up, and uproot his family for a chance at Real. to follow Modric? Barca are not the force they were. Manchester United are an unknown quantity without Ferguson.
Why not wait one more season, if given assurances Spurs will spend?
Let's wait and see what happens. Unbelievable that someone 'hears from Barca and Madrid' within 5 mins of the final whistle. DT. {Ed008's Note - I know right?
Yep it's not often we can say we are a settled team/organization with a respected manager when the alternatives United, Madrid, City and Chelsea are all in flux. Barcelona appears to be on the down also for now. Just have to watch for the likes of PSG and Munich showing interest. Munich would be the one that would worry me the most right now.
19 May 2013 18:44:16
Being an Arsenal fan I am happy that we have finished 4th. But I have to say you guys gave us one hell of a fight this season, and it I would be lying if I said that I was sure we would finish above you.
Honestly I would have liked us to finish 3rd and you guys to finish 4th, with the Chavs finishing 5th or probably dropping further. Here is hoping that the next season will be as exciting for both the north london teams as this one.
All the best!
Faith in the internet restored. Kudos good sir.
Chelsea fan in peace. Sorry you missed out you deserved to qualify for champions league. I think bale will stay, why would he leave unless he went for the money. You have the best young manager around, and with a couple of additions will be up there with the best. Being a Chelsea supporter I am worried about what you will achieve. With the amount of bad luck you have had in the past two seasons, you must be due one hell of a bright future. Keep your chins up I think your future could be very very good. Dave
19 May 2013 19:26:51
They scraped a result to seal 4th and they won't shut up for a moment. Are u this sad? What makes u think u deserve third more than Chelsea who deservedly got SIX POINTS from Arsh*tna and Spuds? Show some respect u person.
Themonk certainly doesn't speak for all of us Arsenal fans, I was ecstatic to see you guys miss out on Champions league football, that's rivalry though and I'd expect you to feel the same if we missed out
The numbers speak for themselves and and as far as respect is concerned, I ain't afraid to say even ad a gunner that I respect Spurs and AVB more for what they have achieved within their means than the stupid Chavs and their owner who fires managers after every few months and has got their fans used to buying silverware rather than really winning it.
As an Arsenal fan I would still want us to do it the right way rather than paying 50 mill plus for players and still not winning the league.
Respect and Legacy is what truly makes a great club, not the financial muscle!
19 May 2013 18:43:39
Unlucky all season regarding penalty decisions, good season, on don't think we are meant to be in the CL. First bad lasagne, then chavski winning the champions league, and now the highest points total in premier league history not to get in the the CL places. Gutted. Role on next season! This is what I think the team should look like:
Higuin
Mertens Bale Lennon
Dembele sandro
Baines vert kaboul walker
Lloris
Subs/reserves: Defoe, ince, siggy, daws, caulker, naughton, Dempsey, Carroll, sergi Roberto, Parker
COYS

Dream on mate higuain? bale? baines? your having a laugh. {Ed008's Note - Well Bale is a Spurs player?
19 May 2013 18:40:44
bye bye bale, ps:- mind the gap because it's going to get a lot bigger now mark my word
true gunner.
'Mark my word'?
Give me this reason m. oron.
By the way. The gap is non existent. There is no gap. It could of gone either way today. 2 good teams fighting it out.
By the way again, we don't feed to Manchester like you, bale stays.
19 May 2013 23:10:22
Where have you been hiding the last few weeks, anyone would think you were worried?
19 May 2013 18:31:32
Personally I was very dubious when AVB was appointed along with the disappointment of the first few games in the prem. AVB turned it round massively and we have ended up with a record number of points. I just hope now that all involved with spurs keep the faith and we make the biggest signing of the summer (keeping bale). Even if we don't keep him then let's hope the money is invested wisely.
19 May 2013 18:26:45
I could be gracious in victory. But St. Totteringhams day only comes round once a year. Arsenal got a lucky win? What game were you watching? Could of been 3-0 by Full time. Bye bye Bale, wish him all the best in Spain. Let's see if you can attract Moutinhio, Damiao, Villa etc without CL football.

What an awful insult.
Detroit Gooner
How far the Arsenal have fallen, once a team challenging for the top prize and now finishing above us is all that matters to you lot. On the flip side a regular mid table side, now regularly top 5 and improving, no wonder this is classed as an achievement in your eyes.
Fair play to the Arsenal but I think this shows the balance of north London is changing. Keep celebrating an achievement which should be conceived as failure for such a "big side"
19 May 2013 20:24:09
How far Arsenal have fallen, don't kid yourself son, when you build your much needed new stadium and are still selling the likes of Berbatov and Carrick to Utd along with the likes of Modric and Bale to Real Madrid. let's just see how many times you make top four shall we.
Get a Grip on Reallity!
When did I say I was a spurs fan? Fool!
19 May 2013 23:05:23
Yes you were lucky, your goal came from a freekick that shouldn't of been and then off their goalkeepers head (martin fulop mk2). You had no shots on goal until the 2nd half and you are lucky almost everygame whereas Tottenham are unbelievably unlucky every season.
19 May 2013 18:22:30
Na na na na, Na na na na, Hey hey hey, Goodbye Bale!
In all seriousness though we have to be realistic and say it's more likely he'll leave then stay at this point. I guess we'll just have to say thank you for a terrific season for now. On another note I hope Levy doesn't do anything ridiculous like sack AVB. He's building something here and needs time. Till next year, of winning the Europa league and qualifying for the Champions league!
I'd like to think we'll keep Bale, but I think we all have to be honest and say he'll likely leave. shame, but with the money he'll bring in and the money we have we can still make real improvements to this squad. too right on europa though!
19 May 2013 18:19:01
What a surprise, Arsenal get a lucky win, again.
You know, if you had done better earlier in the season, you wouldn't have had to depend on our 'luck'.
As always Spuds, North London is red!

Lucky win?! Typical jealous spuds fan

But remember we still love the club

Absolutely cracking goal by bale. Here is hoping its not the last we see In a spurs shirt. I am ppersonally very confident he'll stay.
72 points. Record totel for spurs in the Premier league. If the geordies held on it would have been seen by everyone as a success.
Chin up guys we'll be back.

Will get slaughtered for this but what the **** is AVB playing at? This is the most important match for ages and he is playing Parker and Huddlestone together yet again!
Please don't let this backfire on us!!!
We want him to stay, we want him to stay, AVB, we want him to stay lol

Parker played very well.
19 May 2013 11:36:04
All these people getting their hopes up and then there will be a load of comments when Spurs win and Newcastle lose I hope I am wrong and Newcastle with the Ex Spurs Trainee player as manager do win but not expecting to much then I will not come down with such a big bang after all the results come in
Rthe results this afternoon, I for one would say well down abv, selling rvv, modders, hardly any striker, sandro and kaboul out most of the season, I for one am already lo oking forward to next season, a few abv buys, a manager who gives the team and not himself the plaudits, who would have thought we would win at old trafford, yep we have had some rubbish results, but from my point of view, its onwards and upwards, coys and conutd. barb
19 May 2013 06:50:30
I have the faith! I had a dream we will win 2 1 with bale & vert scoring & Newcastle 2 win 1 0 with cisse!

Any one else fink we should cash in on Townsend let's face it he has had a go with us. Ok scored a couple of goals for qpr but I dnt see him as top four or cl team. The money can go to someone better I thing. Even a better squad player
Mr g
In a word, No.
Sounds like GDS - promising player kicked out the door without being given a chance.
18 May 2013 12:08:29
Levy please back avb and give him the players we need to get cl football everyone on this site knows we needed a forward in jan and u was so tight look what's happened to our beloved Tottenham we should have been above the other London clubs this year was in our hands and u let us down we are the only team with 2 forwards in the top league we all new one injury to our forwards would be a huge blow ok bale has done great up top for us but without his crosses from the left wing the only way we look like scoring is give bale the ball let him do the rest and teams know that's what's going to happen so put 2/3 men on him and that means a packed middle of the park making it harder for players to get up and surport the forwards when he is on the left he pulls players wide giving more space in the middle of the park for players to get up in surport that's my view coys SPURSOLLY
17 May 2013 17:37:17
What's every one thinking on Jackson Martinez and David villa is this true we are interested in them and if it is do you think they are right for spurs?
