AureVoirB and take your 4.5 million pounds with you

[MajGenl.Meade]

It didn't take long (just 18 months) for that dumbass (so stupid he's a multimillionaire) Levy to realise what a mistake he'd made. I said at the very beginning (and you can ask people - anyone - I said it) that any manager who was not good enough for Chelsea wasn't fit to cut the grass at White Hart Lane.

Now the Boas constrictor has quit strangling the team, just maybe Tim whatsit can use his interim skills to encourage the team to score those funny things they talk about when the ball goes in beween the white posts and under the bar and hits a net they've got hanging up there for no apparent reason.

Fire sale! First set them on fire and then sell 'em:
Paulinho - one name, one skill - losing the ball
Lamela - close to the Sesotho word for "hello" - sounds even better as "goodbye"
Capoue - he'd move up to being a disappointment if he were just a bit better
Chadli - the name alone is reason enough
Adebayor - "diminished skills" (B. Belichek)
Holtby - who he?
Sandro - plays better on loan. Genius if sold

Being fair to AVB, his policy of having just one striker might have had some validity if only he had a striker or any interest in having his team score those funny things (described above).

Is there anyone out there who thought (sean?) that Tottenham had done well in the transfer window with this alphabet soup of hopeless no talents?

No idea what this is about

[MajGenl.Meade]

Well it's about AVB's efforts to get rid of Adebayor - his good try (without success) to hold on to Bale (the Welsh git who insisted on a transfer but refused to go anywhere but Real Madrid for 85million quidlets while Man Utd were offering 100million and they'd take Adebayor to carry his boots). It's about Levy's failure to hang on to Modric as well and the unseemly haste to spend all the Bale Bonds on mostly young players who might come good in two years (not an unreasonable that thing previously described) and it's about how nothing's been good since Bill Nicholson retired and English football went all foreign.

OK?

[oldr_n_wsr]

Well that clears things up!?!?!?

I'm campaigning for Moyes to get the Spurs job. Failing that, I'd be happy to see him take on the Baggies job.

I could never understand why AVB was so highly rated for no other reason than the fact that he was Jose's protege. He buggered up Chelsea and now has taken a good side and turned then into a side that couldn't even beat United this season!

It's about his bowling league

[MajGenl.Meade]

sean!

Maybe Spurs/Utd should have done an AVB/Moyes swap? Yr right about the Feather Boas - there's no point (no pun intended) in achieving the "highest Premier League points total" if you finish 5th or 6th. You gotta finish 4th or better. Makes Harry Redknapp (who I liked) look a positive genius.

I can't help but come back to it over and over - not good enough for Chelsea equals way not good enough for Spurs. Almost as bad as hiring Frank McLintock but that was the previous shower or three back. Can't they figure out that we DON'T WANT rival London club has-beens and never-was players or managers. Keep 'em where they belong, Scumirates Stadium, Stamford Buggers and the Ballsin Ground. Palace don't count and never did.

At first I didn't have the slightest idea of what he was talking about either Rick, but if you read the text closely you'll see that in the midst of all the incomprehensible verbiage and obscure provincial references, Maggie has buried a clue:

to encourage the team to score those funny things they talk about when the ball goes in beween the white posts and under the bar and hits a net they've got hanging up there

I believe this indicates that he is talking about a soccer team...

You know soccer...

The game that can be learned by any competent five year old, that at the "professional" level involves grown men running around in short pants kicking and chasing a ball, to the delight of the easily entertained spectators...
