Tottenham Hotspursy

Abit too much hype about them for me. I think they'll come in 6th.

They'll fade away as the season goes on, won't be able to stand the heat  :

I reckon they'll finish about 8th or 9th

Hmm think they're more of a threat than that could get very close to the top 4 but I hope you guys who think they'll fade away are right.  Villa did but the squad had no depth Spurs has (oh to have the dosh - thievin yanks)

Before the season started I tipped them to finish 4th and I'll stick with that.

Nah, will be same top 4 as usual. Reckon Spurs will still end up around 7th.

Massive blow with Modric out for some time now.

I think they will come in 6th.

Modric has been the heartbeat for them and he'll be out for quite some time. Don't think that Kranjcar would be able to live up and be as influential as Modric though.

Just 4 games into the season and they're talking about top 3 finish. Bollocks, season's still young. No doubt they have got some cracking players in their ranks but top clubs are able to string on unbeatable streaks and that is the difference between us and them.

Don't think 'Arry has the ability to lead them there, though. 5th/6th would be more realistic for them IMO.

I think that they are serious top 4 contenders this year, Modric though is a massive blow for them

TBH, i now think that the Spurs and Man City will be a threat to the top 4. Is anybody else excited about the prospect of tougher opposition and a challenge to the top 4? If we really want to be the best, it would be sweeter winning the Premier League in a season with 6 real competitors.

It excites me if they are taking points more from other teams, but only if we are taking points to. It does make the league alot more exciting to, games suddenly become harder to read.. going to be a great season. Spurs could be the Aston Villa of last season, fly at the start but drop off after not being able to handle the pace. And then have all there best players bought by bigger clubs

They will sign Kranjar to cover him. They will probably sign another 1 or 2 before the window closes. Hate them or like them fact is they are playing good football, building a very good squad and look like they will build a new stadium soon. They are a huge threat to us

Totally  be doing and a few people might just be surprised. Im F***ing depressed now

Sorry i dont know what happened to last post! it was meant to say that i agree with you Brian and Spurs are doing the sort of things and spending that we should be doing , its embarrasing that we are being blown out of the water by teams like this.

Great start for them but i do think they will fade as the season goes on,Redknapp has got a big squad but will he be able to keep them all happy.It's okay when your winning games but when a couple of results go against it will be interesting to see how they react to this.

Add to that all the players sat on the bench while the other lads are doing well. *cough* Crouch *cough*

I haven't got your confidence on this one.  I'd feel happier if I saw Acquilani running around and coming through a reserves test -  just so we have a timescale to look forward to.  As I think we need the creative touch and some of the pressure off Torres/Gerrard. Spurs and the Chavs bother me !!!

Crouchie would have been better off staying with us IMO!!

Well he moved to Portsmouth for 1st team footy  .......look what he got warming the bench @ Spurs   idiot

I think he is in love with Harry Redknapp. He seems the type that needs someone to act like a parent. He probably couldn't handle the way Rafa has a professional relationship with his players and liked 'Arry and his personal relationships.

Either way, enjoy the bench Coruch.

He could enjoy the bench at a team like us if he wanted, would rather him than the Ponytail. But, if he wants someone to pat him on the ass and say everything will be ok, then stick with 'Arry. He is a good liar after all

City and Spurs, under the right guidance definitely have the potential to challenge for the title.

At the way City is going eking out results like that then they are going to challenge for it as well. Spurs are also getting the points on board. They have definitely been doing well.

However, this is just the start whereby everyone is just excited, and ready to go. Towards the end of the season the standard between the big four and clubs like City/Spurs will show through. Their First XI might match us now but they still got a long way to go in terms of experience and class, IMO.

We will definitely be up for a tough fight with City/Spurs but I reckon we'll still be too strong for them, top clubs like Liverpool are capable of stringing together 10-20 games winning streak and that is going to be very tough for City/Spurs to beat.

My mate saw Harry Redknapp in a well known Swindon coffee shop last week.

No sign of Crouchy tho 

They will sign Kranjar to cover him. They will probably sign another 1 or 2 before the window closes. Hate them or like them fact is they are playing good football, building a very good squad and look like they will build a new stadium soon. They are a huge threat to us

Not a huge threat I don't think. They have improved quite a bit this year and have a VERY capable squad, but I don't think they can keep it up for the whole year. Still, a top 8 finish for them would be decent enough.

Soon enough, they'll be well again!
