Being the Express I just couldnt care less - Im more intruiged at The Sun printing 2 positive articles on us to be honest.

Could it be that they accept AVB is coming in, and could actually do a good job?

Or is it the usual "Build them up, knock them down" rubbish?

This REALLY doesn't deserve a thread of its own, so I'll just put it here where it will easily be lost in the crowd of posts. Looks like the scum fans have nothing better to do:

Centre-backs vote

Ledley King won Thursday's poll with 41.04% of the vote as we put together our central defensive pairing.

He is partnered by Sol Campbell who, after a slow start in the vote, gathered pace (with a little help from across North London...) to finish second with 37.89%, ahead of Gary Mabbutt on 10.51%. So we have two Spurs home-grown players at centre-half.

The joke is probably on the Arsenal fans though. For all their voting to get him in there, he probably would have come second without their votes.
Even though he was a c#nt, we cant deny he wasnt a quality defender
 
As I am not British myself, I have a question for the lot of you who are. Given the history and record of the Sun as a scheming and plotting "newspaper" that clearly has an agenda with everything they write, why do you read it?

I don't want to be patronizing, but it seems to me that there is a general consensus both on this board and in the rest of the world that the Sun is all rubbish, yet it is one of the most popular in Britain, and that confuses me.


More on topic: Today I'll be sitting here pressing F5 for the grand, massive, 'shaking the footballing world-esque' press conference that we have all been promised.

I saw one comment on a British newspaper today claiming it would be Pep Guardiola with AVB as number two. Let's add Falcao, Mouthino and Vertonghen to that and I'll be satisfied. Hell, throw in Diego Maradona and Klinsmann as coaches too.

Theo to Spurs… he wouldn’t? Would he? | Should Arsenal buy in Jack Wheelchair cover?

July 1st, 2012 by Pedro & filed under News Review, Transfer Gossip.

​
Good morning Grovers! Apologies for the late post. I’ve been coming to terms with the story about Theo Walcott interesting Spurs new manager AVB.
A first I was like… ‘errr, no way, he’s an Arsenal player’
Then I was like… ‘No actually, this could like totally make sense’
Why does it make sense?
Well, a few reasons really. I guess the key one being that he’s played over 200 games for us and he doesn’t really show any signs of improving. Now, I know his finishing has been slightly better over the last 18 months, but in the grand scheme of improvement, he’s the equivalent ofProctor&Gamble’s London Olympic clean up operation. Washing the front of Bow Road Underground station does not constitute a real improvement.

​
He’s got pace. We know that. Outside that, what has he really got as a player? I always run the ‘what would happen if you took away his pace’ test.
Players like Thierry Henry, Dennis Bergkamp and Ian Wright used pace to devastating effect. If you’d taken that away (I know Dennis never had it), they’d still be able to do other things, like pass, walk around players and score goals. I’m not sure Theo would be very effective as a footballer without pace. Now, I’m not for one moment suggesting we get rid of Theo. He’s a very effective in the sense that his pace is a massively, humongous huge asset for him. Even if he’s not particularly clever with it.

If the massive bloke in the corner of a bar tells you he can’t fight, you still don’t get in the way of one of his haymakers. Theo scares defenders. He puts teams on the back foots and he has convinced Robin Van Persie and plenty of other no nothing football pundits he creates hundreds of goals for the team.​
Now at Spurs, his strengths might be used to better effect. He doesn’t need to be able to pass particularly well, he’ll be knocking balls into a bigger strikers and he’ll be in a team that is far more direct that ours.
Would he do it though? Would he really cross the North London divide and become a hate figure for eternity?
Well, he’s close friends with Gareth Bale. He wouldn’t need to buy a new house. He might fancy a new challenge after being at Arsenal for quite a while. We don’t like losing players on free transfers. We’ve apparently not opened talks with him to extend his deal. We’ve got more wingers than you could shake a stick at!
This one could have legs. I’m talking Theo legs… not Davor Suker legs in the dying days. Not Jack Wheelchair legs either…

What an utterly pathetic article from the Express



ANDRE VILLAS-BOAS faces a baptism of fire when he is unveiled as Spurs boss in the next 48 hours.

Facing fierce opposition from both players and fans alike, the new man will be greeted by dressing room unrest that will test him from his first day in the job.

A string of players are waiting to tell him they want assurances or want out, led by injury-jinxed captain Ledley King, whose contract is up and who doesn't look like being offered another one – as a player at any rate.

Next in line is midfielder Luca Modric, the midfielder AVB tried to sign when he was at Chelsea, but whose agent insists is now hell bent on getting the move he failed to persuade Spurs to let him have last summer.

Behind them will be Mexican midfielder Giovanni dos Santos, a big star for his country but cast into the wilderness by Harry Redknapp.

David Bentley is also likely to ask for a move – possibly to Fulham – if the new manager fails to offer any sign of rekindling the one-time golden boy's flagging career.

î

Brazilian goalkeeper Heurelho Gomes, whose dream of playing for his country in the Olympic Games was dashed after being left out in the cold last season, will also be demanding assurances about his future. And veteran defender William Gallas, a target for rivals West Ham, is also out of contract.

Add to them Jermain Defoe, who will also want to be given a clear idea about his first-team prospects after spending much of last season on the bench, and Steven Pienaar – who is keen to go back to Everton.

With Nico Kranjcar and Vedran Corluka already leaving for Ukraine and Russia, and Tom Huddlestone and Michael Dawson still recovering from injuries, it all adds up to a massive headache for the new manager with little more than a month before the new season starts.

Makes a change to hear that. A lot of recent leavers over the last few season have been a lot less complimentary
 
So does that mean Moutinho is coming to us?

I would lurrrrrrrve it.

i would rather have used the 7-8m from Sig to help buy Moutinho
 
So today is the start of the big week, what are the predictions. I'm going for:

  • New manager
  • New Kit
  • New sponsor
  • Gylfi signs
  • Jan Signs
  • GDS leaves
