    Harry Redknapp: The Aftermath

    Well, yes, it's about definitions. The term "top, top" was a Redknapp based word-gag. I would probably be more inclined to use the word "elite". I'm not claiming the world is awash with elite coaches. Certainly, this country isn't. We have a few that show potential, but generally the state of...

    Harry Redknapp: The Aftermath

    Couple of points, EVERY Premier League club as a dedicated fitness coach. Or, more specifically, a dedicated fitness team (distinct from the medical/physiotherapy team). Also, we picked up fewer injuries under Ramos than Jol or Redknapp, as far as I can see. Even Tainio was regularly fit to...

    Harry Redknapp: The Aftermath

    Agree with this. Football, at an elite level, is about fine margins. All the top coaches will say that, and it is why the likes of Mourinho are OBSESSED with the details. Redknapp, on the other hand, has frequently said that the fine margins don't matter (even extending that to formations and...

    The Academy, NextGen, U18 & U21 Premier League and On-Loan Thread

    Personally, I think the only trait that tends to be fixed at an early age is technique. Other attributes can develop over time, including positioning, if they are prepared to be students of the game. Technical skills, however, really need to be taught from a very early age, which is the value of...

    How do you feel about players that want to leave the club they play for?

    What you should say is, "...look at his attitude toward our club that he constructs and portrays in the media for his own ends". We, as fans, need to come to terms with the idea that NO ONE, other than us, gives a fook about the club. No one loves it. Not these days. Not players, not managers...

    Stephen Pienaar Debate

    Spooky has some ITK on Pienaar, if you listen to the Fighting **** podcast - apparently he was signed by Levy, rather than Redknapp, and within a few weeks of signing Pienaar was on the phone to Bill Kenwright begging him to take him back to Everton.

    How do you feel about players that want to leave the club they play for?

    No reason why they can't do it in private, to the chairman, etc. Doing it in public is disrespectful to the fans and completely unnecessary.

    How do you feel about players that want to leave the club they play for?

    Wanting to leave is, generally, understandable. Blabbing about it in the media is, generally, ****ish behaviour of the highest order.

    The Squad

    Chelsea have different fitness trainers to us, so this isn't a straight comparison. My instinct is that our apparent drop in energy is largely down to fitness, which is also why we are picking up so many injuries, rather than a lack of rotation.

    The Squad

    I don't see Redknapp behaving any differently than he has throughout his entire career. The difference now is that people are on his back for it because we are losing and he's about to do one to England. Some of us didn't want Redknapp here in the first place, and some have and always will be...

    The Squad

    It's not a case of either/or with Corluka and Walker, they should BOTH be here. What kind of imbecile gears up for the second half of a league campaign with only one right back? Corluka could have covered left back and centre back as well. Both positions we're struggling in.

    Chelsea,Abramovich and FM/CM Games

    Abramovich bought Chelsea, largely, to raise his profile in the West for political reasons, in my opinion. Surprised he has stuck around as long as he has.

    Doesn't Gomes have the clean sheet record for Spurs? How did he manage that if he's throwing one in to his goal every week?

    Sherwood taking over, probably. Don't think Levy's that insane though.

    Harry Redknapp: The Aftermath

    He sorted out our central midfield - ditched Zokora and Jenas (and bravely replaced them there with Modric). I'll give him kudos for that, as Jol and Ramos failed to do it and it looked at one point like they would still be running around aimlessly passing the ball sideways to each other...

    Spurs: Your worst moments......

    I'd rather coherent strategies for attacking play and defensive organisation than heart. This is what we are lacking, as far as I can see. Bale, van der Vaart, Lennon just playing where they like, both fullbacks failing to cover runners properly, Parker and Sandro doing their best to make it...

    Official - Defoe

    It's not really that he's not good enough (even though he's not), it's that he's only really suited to one system, and it's a system we can't play at this moment.
