Spurs the only club that bring out a DVD to celebrate drawing a match

They aren't, but certainly you won't hear me saying it wasn't cringeworthy.

How many managers have spurs gone through in Wengers time at Arsenal?

Nothing like the sound of Irish folk wind each other up, on account of their slightly varied affiliations to foreign league clubs.

As opposed to an affiliation to a foreign Scottish club !

I don't know what my football interests and discussions here about football related issues have to do with board members doing different versions of mooning at each other, based on some claimed affiliation to an EPL (top 4) team. A mooning which carries over to thread after thread.
I have never claimed affiliation to Celtic, have nothing more than a longstanding interest in the club. Not a club member. Never been to Celtic Park. Would love to go sometime, as a guest.

Joe Cole will be joining Spurs this summer.

[DennistheMenace]

Arda Turan apparently joining Spurs with Dos Santos going the other way + 5 Million Euro, would be an excellent deal.

Great second half from Spurs tonight although it was a worse first half than the Young Boys game.

However, confident enough that with Van Der Vaart and hopefully King back for the White Harte Lane game we can get a positive result second time round against Inter. Perhaps go for a 4-4-2 with Crouch and Pavlyeuchenko up front.

Great result in the Bremen / Twente game as well.

The whole night could have been a lot worse!!!!! 

As for Gareth Bale......   

[ross4life]

They had a debate on Skysports tonight, whos more exciting to watch Spurs or arse? all went for Spurs.

Well impressed with spurs... First season in the Champions league & they managed to top the group (a group with the Dutch,Italian & European Champions)

Alot can happen between now & feb but on this form they won't fear anyone in the 2nd round.

[ONeill]

Spurs are far, far more exciting to watch. They let in 3-4 goals a game in Europe away from home. Much, much more entertaining viewing.

Just reading on another site, so correct me if I'm wrong, but over the last 5 seasons Spurs have a negative transfer balance of £168 million! By my maths that's double what Chelsea have spent!

2010-2011- 21.6 million
2009-2010- 9.2 million
2008-2009- 53.2 million
2007-2008- 64.0 miliion
2006-2007- 19.6 million

That's hardly the wheeler, dealer notion that the papers would make you think re Harry is it?

Are these figures accurate???
