Heard that we are going to appeal to UEFA about not being allowed to play in the Champions league, Anayone else heard this or is it just a few wishfull thinkers? Ed?

I think we should show some class and accept that we fell short. 5 English teams in the Champs League would be too many in my opinion.

Appeal on what grounds that u was not gd enough over the 2nd half the season .that was hr/dl thought for not adding to the squad when u had the chance .

Not heard that but we knew the rules at the start, it's just typical that it happens to us first. Brush ourselves down and come back stronger and even more determend!

Agree, show some class Levy and don't bother. The rules where changed 4 years ago, everyone knows the rule so why woulod it suddenly change for one year then not next year.

Ok. This sucks. Big time. But who knows, it might not be the end. Now I am of the opinion that modric is gone. Preferably, to Madrid who I see are linked. If they offer 25m plus a similar player like Sahin (who hasn't played much this season so his value wil have decreased) then I think we should take it, it's not worth a summer of speculation if they make that offer early enough. Bale I think will stay. Now, after lasagne-gate, I imagine there would have been a fair few people who thought that this was the end, especially after we lost carrick.

After we lost carrick, people may have thought that was it. Then again, in 2008, we lost keane and berba and had 2 pts from 8. I'd imagine people thought it was the end too. At the start of this season, when we finished 5th before, and modric had his head turned, and we were drubbed by the mancs, people thought it was the end. But what I'm saying was, it wasn't. We recovered better than anyone could have expected us too. People were tipping pool for a title push this season! You never know what could happen. We could sign a hidden gem, like Vdv on the cheap, or ba or Cisse for Newcastle. Someone like Tom Carroll could step up, Di Mateo could be found out next season (I maintain hes not a very good manager), and Chelsea fall short and open up another top 4 place (I mean we surely couldnt be screwed like this twice two seasons in a row, Im assuming 4th will be enough again). So what if we lose modric and bale? Let's face it, regardless of what we all think they are worth, it's ultimately down to what price levy gets for them, and we all know it's gonna be 60m plus, and we can invest that. There are good players out there who are not in Europe at all. Vert has said he doesn't care about Europa, he wants to be here. Remy just finished mid table, he's not in Europa. Suarez was in cl when he went to liverpool. So yes, wallow in the misery. Its cathartic and surprisingly good fun. But it's not the end, and it never will be. COYS

I like how you're upbeat, I also hope you're right about the player still coming in.

I agree modders will go, i think we should try too get erickson (spelling) from ajax to replace him, or if you want a closer to home solution Joe Allen has been brilliant every time I've seen him for Swansea (which is well over 10). One of the most underrated PL player imo.

It's not the end, especially if the goons have to sell RVP.

Next season we put this Sh*t right, no 100 not offsides on ade, no riots, no harry for england, no court case, just the almighty spurs ripping up the PL. COYMFS!

Steed

Totally agree about joe allen, i think he would be an ideal replacement.....i wouldnt even wait for modric to put a tranfer request in, id just sell him now, we want players who want to play for tottenham not those who sit out games because "their head isn't right"..... I dont want another summer like last.

Steed,

stop worrying about Arsenal and worry about Spurs, why on earth would Erickson want Europa with Sours when he can have champs league with Ajax. and even if Arsenal sell Van P they will still finish above you lot its just what happens best team in 30 years could not get the job done so why would it be any different next year

This guts of the guy who calls out my view and doesn't even leave a name.... Why would Erickson want to play for spurs....because we play dutch style attacking football and are one of the top teams in the EPL, a pull which is significant to players in other leagues. The best players want to play in England, Spain, Italy etc. and this is often overlooked, look at Ruiz playing for a successful dutch team and pushes a move to Fulham, why? They are in the best league in the world.

Ok so no cl its now time for levy to show hes true colours, we havent got the crowds the filth and utd have, we havent got a multi mega millionaire who can throw good money after bad, but i thought a manager was about tactics bringing players on and winning matches, if hr not up to that then get some one in who can do said job, bale and modric were not world stars when coming to the lane so just maybe if we had a good scouting system we just might unearth a few jewels, as i cant see levy paying top dollar, we need strength character and a williongness to play for the shirt the club and the fans, dnt see top brass coming in, but we all know we need 2 good forwards a new cb, and tinkering in other areas, if hr and levy not up to job, as gthrowing away a ten point lead would suggest then for the sake of thfc go and be a tv pundit as you seem to spend more time on the box than at the lane. we may always be also rams, buts its about time this ram turned into a lion

The problem is HR fired the chief scout that found those talents and now he's finding those talents for Newcastle.

Thats what i was getting at look who the scout recommended to newcastle, who took over that harry brought in with the signings hes made its must be the three blind mice

Also rams?

Once a feeder club....always a feeder club

You can't really call anyone a feeder club when your not even in the champions league next year and your best player (modric) is about to hand in a transfer request hah
