Phew thanks for that glad its over and done with.........
as my other half constantly reminds me it sometimes takes me a while to get things done.
Why dont you register and start posting she kept saying....well now I have.... plus there is more chance of having a decent spurs debate with you guys rather than my spurs supporting mates who best debate so far has been whether Bale looks more like a monkey or a gorilla.
Thanks for the hard but necessary initiation.

Woah there, I and quite a few others had AVB down as our number one choice to replace Redknapp.
Personally though, I have a huge amount of respect for people who are willing to change their opinions, there are far too many journalists and fans who take on a view which they refuse to change regardless of any evidence put in front of them.

Yes, AVB was a fairly popular choice at the time. There was a minority that was quite vocal about disliking him, but the debates were going because most people were positive I believe. It was also quite clear from all the brick aimed at the media early days when they were sniping at AVB.
I agree that changing your opinion based on new evidence is something to be respected, not something to be scuffed at.

All 342 glorious pages of discussion on Harry leaving and who his replacement should be can be found in Classics for those that way inclined, but you could start in the 'AVB sacked at Cheatski' thread: http://www.glory-glory.co.uk/showthread.php?805-O-T-AVB-Sacked-by-Cheatski&p=42909&viewfull=1#post42909

I suggest we get one of our beloved mods to read through that and provide us with a brief, informative summary of what people were saying. Shouldn't take more than a couple of days?
How about a poll deciding on which mod will get this, I'm sure much coveted, job?
Or perhaps a contest, the mod that racks up the least infraction post in the coming week gets the job...

Not conceded a goal beyond 60 minutes since the game against Everton
That's a lot of Ames where we have not conceded late
Compare that with the goals we above scored in that time zone 60-90+ and you can see a corner has been turned although it may not last for ever

Re: AVB article - villas-boas-making-tottenham-his-own
As I stated earlier even last season when he was at chelsea i felt a kind of strange curiosity about him...when he was getting pelters I was half hoping he would turn it around and then I kept telling myself he manages chelsea. what sticks in my mind is the image of him walking off the pitch after the away defeat to Napoli......again for some unknown reason I felt for the guy......
Well I have not long signed up for this forum and I will admit that I had worries/doubts - should have stopped listening to durham on talksport ages ago.
Even if we dont finish where we want in the league and come up short in the europa I really want to give this lad time and see if he can improve us over the coming years - barring some disaster run like Ramos but i dont think that will happen.
AVB comes across as such a warm and positve person whats not to like about the guy.... he is our boss and is doing his best to prove that he is worth our backing.
My head and my heart tell me we are on to a winner with this guy....impossible to tell the future but I hope its a succesful (trophy winning) one with AVB at the helm.

Just reading my son's copy of Hotspur that arrived in the post this morning whilst allegedly working from home... Michael Dawson said the following about AVB's approach:- "From the first day he walked in he has been great to work with - and I said this even when I wasn't playing. He was honest enough with me to say it would be hard for me to get minutes on the pitch and that it was up to me. He has been great with me, we have a good relationship and, with me being Club Captain, we do speak on a regualr basis"
I don't see any evidence of dressing room dissent towards AVB that was alluded to by the Fleet Street Harry Mongers there!

Re: AVB article - villas-boas-making-tottenham-his-own
AVB is interesting, and to some extent I'm a fan (although I greatly enjoyed the Harry era).
Success for AVB and Spurs (the win/win if you like) for me depends on tenure. We have appointed a young, upcoming manager/coach who still has a bit to learn and prove. An individual with a style and system that will take time and player investment to truly pay off.
In my view, the club must be sure AVB is committed to Spurs, if he won the Europa and qualified for CL but left at the end of next season, it's too much disruption for the payback. If he spends the next 5 years with us (and wins a trophy or two along with CL participation), that's success.

I agree with this.
There have been some people I was 'debating' with earlier in the season who have come around, and I absolutely agree, it's healthy. I've been wrong before, especially with a couple of players from our past, and it's always nice to be proven wrong because it means the club are winning!

No, it's progressive. I always love a moment, in life, when I realize I have learnt something new. It's liberating. And with regards to being wrong about people, that IS life-affirming and somewhat optimistic. No mate, I agree...

It is odd but very commendable.
I don't really care if I am wrong about anything and if evidence or facts are given that I am wrong then I am more than willing to change my mind eg Defoe.
Some here take a position and will defend it ad nauseam.

Re: AVB article - villas-boas-making-tottenham-his-own
I hold my hands up after the Norwich result at home I was really questioning the appointment. I know it was only the third game in charge but the pressure was already building from the brainless Spurs fans (every club has them) who wanted instant success and Barcelona football.
Also the press couldn't wait to stick the knife in AVB again (I still think a lot of them are waiting for AVB to mess it up and its really annoying them that he's started to prove them wrong). I couldnt see how it was going to work, this is where I have said it numerous times Levy & the board have to take so much credit they took a gamble I wouldnt off and its looking like a very good move.
