I think the idea is that you won't be able to.


I think Danny Boy has been kidnapped by aliens.  So much cash splashed, and we aren't even close to the last day for transfers.

Shame Bale is leaving but his money has meant for exciting times ahead.

Only slight concern is that they are all foreigners who haven't played in the EPL before and it may take a little time to bed in, but in saying  that Capoue and Paulinho have looked at home in the first two games.
If Bale goes for 80 and the 3 rumoured to sign are signed for about 50 combined, the net spend for this window would only be about 10 million.

Seems to be so far.  But also there is this Technical Director role - Franco Baldini, seems similar to the DoF role that Comolli created so much disruption with Big Martin Jol.  Since this was chosen by AVB it seems to be a better relationship...

They have sold Dempsey, Caulker, Huddlestone and Parker for ~24 add Bale ~80 which is ~104 incoming. Brought in Paulinho, Chadli, Soldado and Capoue for ~59 add in Lamela (~26-30), Eriksen (~10-15) and Chiriches (~10) which is between 0 and 10 outgoing net. If Bale goes for a bit more and the rumoured 3 to come in are at the low end of estimates, Spurs could have a net transfer profit.

I know BAE has his limits, but there is little (ie  goal against Arse) that Rose has done that convinces me he is better.

The debate has been going on for several years now. Kicked off by Chelsea-loving Baddiel, then championed by nobody Peter Herbert.

Even amongst Spurs fans there is no consensus although the vast majority see it's use by Spurs supporters as anti-anti-Semitic (including myself).

This post from TFC sums it up nicely for me:

"I don't like the word "bubbles" sung by West Ham fans as it's a word used in a derogatory way about Greeks and I don't like that they are blowing Greeks forever, I know the club is run by porn barons but there are kids in the ground listening to this.

I shall raise my complaint with the FA as a reasonable observer."

I am not racist. I think that racial abuse should not be accepted. However, what has happened to freedom of speech in and around professional football? I thought this was a basic right.. 

The whole racial crackdown in football seems a bit nazi to me. Sure racism is terrible and not acceptable but shouldn't you be allowed to say what you want in a free society?

Maybe I am just over thinking this..,

You are definitely overthinking this. The problem with your 'free speech' is that it forces others to hear those unsavoury words, including children

Actually I don't think he has been giving it enough thought.  There have been pages upon pages posted about the "Y" word on TFC , and doubtless replicated on other Spurs fora.

The interesting note is that Jewish supporters are just as split on its use and the wider Jewish community both in the UK and in Israel are the same.

It's definately not a straightforward debate.

Absolutely.  Freedom of speech also requires responsibility.

However the FA stance is basically saying don't use a word even if it is in a pro-active and proud way because it will encourage the racists.

I guess it parrallels the use of 'Nigger' in The Wire (Just seen prposition Joe take one to the head). Entirely ok for Stringer Bell to use it but not so for McNulty. I will always pledge allegiance to my membership of the Yid Army, but clearly if another fan uses it in a derrogatory way, then not ok. As for the hissing, well...

Yes.  That is the FA's contention.  By Spurs fans using it in a positive way it encourages opposition supporters to be anti-semitic.

Lots of good analysis and discussion on TFC.

Just a little off topic, but how does free speech work in a private setting - can clubs hypothetically set conditions on entry to their stadium that might restrict the use of certain terms?
