LETS GET IT ALL STRAIGHT
RUMOUR:WERE A SMALL CLUB.TRUTH:weve got the 5th biggest behind man.utd,Liverpool,ar5ena1 an Chelsea.The last survey in 98 showed us as 4th which shows Chelskis improving fan-base is just glory hunters.We manage to fill to capacity week in week out even when were doing shit(last 20 years.)Theres 80,000 club members and 25,000 waiting for season tickets....which shows what we know...we need a new stadium.
RUMOUR:WERE A JEWISH CLUB.TRUTH:This one started by the Chelsea firm because of the fact were in a highly multicultaural area and in our firm(something Im not into but know about)theres a mix of black white jews christians and atheists which shows our diversity and that were not a racist set up---something Im proud of.Not only that but the Arsenal area has a higher jewish population and David Deins a jew so is Roman Abramovich theres no more no less with us compared to any other club.
RUMOUR:WERE A SHIT TEAM.TRUTH:History doesnt lie.Before the game was about money,corporate sponsorships tv rights etc,Spurs set the standards.The team was all British,in an era were you had to scrap for titles and not buy-we were the first team to do the double,to win the european cup,non league club to win the fa cup,and more firsts.True times have changed-BUT ITS TRADITION AND HISTORY THAT MAKES A CLUB AND WHAT IT STANDS FOR!Another thing these GOONIES may hark on about our lack of titles but you must remember that its the OPINIONS OF EXPERTS THAT COUNT.VENABLES_"THAT TEAM WAS THE BEST I EVER SAW,EVEN BETTER THAN THE UNBEATABLE ARSENAL 2004-2005?Alex Ferguson has said similar,so has Gary Lineker and Bobby Robson-PEOPLE WHO KNOW,NOT SOME DIMLOW DIVVY GOONER MUG!
MY OUTLOOK ON RECENT EVENTS:I didnt like the sale of Keane but I think his best was at Spurs so 20 million was a good price.As for Berbatov Ferguson shouldnt of got away with hounding him but we made profit out of him and a loan striker for the season-good buisness.However--Harry is a good boss,English pedigree a wheeler dealer and someone the players can look over to for guidance.Levys chose an awkward time for the stadium development,but its safe to say its long overdue...........I dont know a lot about his finances but Im sure the board have worked it all out around the recession etc.The stadium will only be part built from naming rights money as well as his own kitty.Winning cups would see us earning prize money but we have to be realistic with what we can acheive.Saying that at the start of the season....I WAS THE MOST EXCITED AS IVE EVER BEEN AS A SPURS FAN BEFORE BERBA AND KEANES EXIT.
Weve been unlucky with bad decisions(thats football yes,but what wouldve happened if the referee counted the 50 yarder that went in against Man u?!)We wouldve been in Europe.Then last game of the season all the players had food poisoning but still put up a good fight(coys!)The board,split decisions loyalties structure has all played its part but Theyre starting to get it right.We'll be back from our sleep and to all our mockers-------get some crayons and paper and an education!..................YID ARMY!!!.........................COME ON YOU SPURS!!.......
Club reveals first images of proposed new stadium
The Club has revealed the first images of the Club's proposed new stadium design, part of the Northumberland Development Project.
Designs for the new home of the Club have been developed by KSS, leaders in stadia design.
Commenting on the release of the images, Club
Chairman Daniel Levy said:
"The brief I gave the architects was to design an iconic stadium
that would be one of the best in Europe. My over-riding priority
is to re-create the terrific atmosphere we have at the current
stadium, within a world class stadium that offers state-of
-the-art facilities.
"This means designing a stadium which has supporters as close as
possible to the field of play and not simply looking to chase
headline capacity. Our fans will find themselves closer to the
pitch than at any other comparable stadium in the UK. This design
puts fan experience first.
"In addition to the stadium, we are designing great facilities within the overall masterplan that will add positively to the local environment and locality, components that can play a role in the regeneration of the wider area."
David Keirle, Chairman of KSS, outlined the strategy behind the stadium design:
"The key driver has been to deliver the best possible fan experience on all levels.
"The visuals of the new stadium show that it's really seen as a building which responds to the brand, which we see as representing style and flowing lines of football.
"We have spent a great deal of time looking at different roof formations. The roof has been designed to focus the noise back onto the crowd and onto the pitch. All seating is enclosed, there are no open corners, so everything is focused back onto the pitch and the acoustics will maximise the impact of the vocal support from fans. The stadium will have a roof that allows us to have four large screens up in the top corners, which means every spectator will be able to see a whole host of information.
"The plans we have produced will result in close proximity for the fans to the pitch, we are going to be metres closer than other stadiums of comparable size. We are fine tuning the plans and these will ultimately determine the final capacity."
The new stadium will also benefit from a Club museum, shops and homes, new facilities for the Tottenham Hotspur Foundation and important public space.
The plans will enable the team to remain at the current site throughout construction.
Daniel Levy added:
"Development projects on this scale take a long time from the
initial starting point to final completion. Any new stadia we
have seen recently would have been designed at least eight to
ten years ago. We are designing for our future and this
stadium design has been described as the first of the next
generation of stadia.
"This development is more than just somewhere where the team can play football. The Northumberland Development Project will deliver substantial investment for the future of the Borough and will benefit the community.
"It's about leaving a legacy for this great Club and, once delivered, I hope all our fans around the world will be very proud."

How we can get knocked out of the Wafer Cup
We don’t play again until Monday night at Upton Park so I got out my slide rule to see how our Wafer Cup Group D could turn out.
On the night of December 18, the following two matches will be played at the same time…
The way things stand in our group, it is still possible for us to finish first and get a good seeding in the Last 32.
The ONLY way that can happen is if we win and Udinese lose. Doesn’t matter about goal difference in this case. If we win AND they lose, we finish first.
If we draw with Spartak, we at least clinch second spot, though that has its downside in that we must then face one of the “parachute” teams from the Champions League.
Now…to the interesting part. Well, some may find it interesting, others may get a splitting headache!!!
There are circumstances by which we can finish fourth in the group and thus be eliminated from the competition.
They involve both us losing AND NEC beating the Italians, but only in certain ways.
- First of all, if Spartak beat us by just the one goal, then they can’t overtake us and we’re through no matter what happens in the other match.
- If we lose by 2 goals, NEC must win by at least 2 to eliminate us.
- If we lose by 3 goals, a one-goal win for NEC is enough to eliminate us but ONLY if they score at least one more goal on the night than we do (for example if we lose 1-4, their one-goal win must be 2-1 or better). Obviously, in this case, an NEC win by 2 goals or more will also eliminate us.
- If we lose by 4 goals or more, any win for NEC is enough to eliminate us.
So as you can see, although it is possible for us to get knocked out, it is highly unlikely, so here’s hoping Spurs fans WON'T have to revert back to this post close to full time on the night!!!
