He may not even go according to http://www.goal.com/en/news/1863/world-cup-2010/2010/06/02/1954238/tottenhams-giovani-dos-santos-threatens-to-miss-world-cup

It seemed earlier that it was his dad mouthing off - nothing from Gio himself.

Gio started in the game against italy so it would appear he hasn't yet quit!

So who is the most represented club at the FIFA World Cup? We must be right up there.

almost 16 years ago · edited over 13 years ago

Just found out:

Two English clubs, Chelsea (13) and Liverpool (12), are among the top three providers, along with Spanish giants Barcelona (13).

So we are not that far behind.AllWhitebelievr2010-06-06 22:35:17

Had to fall over laughing about Paston being linked to Spurs. Some daffy reporter has been wound up there.

when do we find out who we play in CL qualifier?

over 15 years ago · edited over 13 years ago

Late July I think. Second qualifying round starts two day after the World Cup final, the draw I think will be made halfway through the Third qualifying round (Spurs join in what's effectively the Fourth (non-champions) qualifying round).

Sounds like Levy's hard at work negotiating every penny for us again! We have a shirt-sponsor for the league now (Autonomy) but not yet for the CL or cups - waiting until we've (hopefully!) made it though to group stage?!

New kit out next Friday...

Could be worse but it doesn't do much for me. That red dot is just horrible.

Harry signs contract extension keeping at the club until 2013

over 15 years ago · edited over 13 years ago

Great news.

Now if we can sign Jo Cole I will be more than happy.

Home kit reminds me of England '82 (or was it Cyrstal Palace?) WC kit.

Both make me want to puke. Seems like a complete retro cliche.

over 15 years ago · edited over 13 years ago

I don't like it either.. probably wo't stop me from buying one though.

Harry seems really determined to turn Spurs into Crottenham.

Also in for Pletikosa just in case the others are getting homesick.

good we didnt buy cole. he would have been massively overpriced like other England players in the Prem. we can spend better

over 15 years ago · edited over 13 years ago

From wiki, current first team by nationality:

England (15): Bentley, Huddlestone, Lennon, Jenas, Crouch, Naughton, Defoe, Dawson, Oï¿½Hara, Rose, King, Alnwick, Walker, Livermore, Woodgate
Croatia (3): Modric, Kranjcar, Corluka
Cameroon (2): Bassong, BAE
France (2): Kaboul, Dervite
Brazil (2): Gomes, Sandro
Scotland (1): Hutton
Wales (1): Bale
Russia (1): Pavlyuchenko
Ireland (1): Keane
Honduras (1): Palacios
Mexico (1): dos Santos
Italy (1): Cudicini

Pletikosa would make it 4 and twice as much as the next countries.

Doesn't mean his wage demands aren't/weren't ridiculous, thus making him overpriced!! Modric = better, younger + cheaper!!

Henry scored against the Spuds. Deja Vu anyone?

over 15 years ago · edited over 13 years ago

Henry- washed up old has been.

over 15 years ago · edited over 13 years ago

Better to be a has been than a never was. Which would adequately describe any Tottenham player over the past 40 years.

Agree with the first, I think the second is a bit harsh.

Good player, but now that he's finished playing any meaningful football, I guess his career will be remembered by everyone (Gooners aside) for one incident - 'The Hand of Gaul'

Kinda sad - blame Sepp, if he had video technology none of that would have happened...

wages

redknapp was quite interesting on ESPN the other day talking about the challenges of trying to compete with the really big spenders on wages.

That was on the back of everybody agreeing that Mancini has no "plan" when it comes to buying players just a sh!tload of $ and (not unreasonable) the assuption that if you buy enough good players you will HAVE to end up with a good team eventually.
