Yohan Cabaye - Our most experienced player in Europe
Much of that will depend on what happens over the summer, but it’s not exactly a new experience, either for us or for the players.
It may have been a while since we got the passports and headed away with Newcastle United, but it wasn’t that long ago we were regulars on the European stage. Still time moves quickly and after a five-year absence it’s almost like starting all over again.
Not for the players though as we have a nucleus of them who have played in Europe before. It’s not like we are going into the competition blind which should help us mark a mark on the competition.
From front to back we have European experience within our team although admittedly to varying degrees. A look at the list below shows that most of our team have played in Europe before so they should have nothing to fear as a consequence.
Tim Krul – Limited experience, but remember that night in Palermo?
Davide Santon – Has played in Europe with Inter Milan.
Steven Taylor – Has made 24 appearances in Europe with us.
Fabricio Coloccini – Has played in Europe with Villareal and AC Milan
Hatem Ben Arfa – 34 European appearances for the former Lyon and Marseille man.
Yohan Cabaye – 35 European appearances for Lille.
Cheik Tiote – Has made 23 European appearances with Anderlecht and FC Twente.
Even players like Gabriel Obertan have got experience in Europe and of course you can’t forget Barcelona Shola!
You see what I mean? It’s not like our players are going boldly to a frontier that they’ve never experienced before. In fact most of those appearances have been made in a higher European competition than the Europa League!
I know it has its detractors, but personally I can’t wait for the draw to be made to see who we are up against. I just hope we get through the qualifying round!
If we don’t, it won’t be through lack of experience anyway…

Toonsy ,nice topic .I think it’s in our favor to have such a continental squad, as clearly the assorted players all have experience of either playing in thier countrys or europa previously. Add to the mix that many such as Cabaye are proven cup winners and as long as our defence gets sorted and set play gets improved I won’t fear anyone we meet.
Definitely good to have such a great mix at the club. I think Cabaye will actually prove integral in progressing in European competition
Forget about playing -Most of our players have lived in Europe
We have a good team in the PL so that will translate to a good team in any league… Bar a few off days this season, we have been really solid.. I agree with Kim, no fear for me either…
Aussie ,no fear we are commandos
Andrew- Wheres that new arrival then
thought you would have some news this morning . Is it your first?.
lol Some of our players are more experienced in Europe than they are in the prem.
Kim
I hear Rich likes going commando as well 
It ain’t a pretty thought 
… and yet you had that thought!
I knew you would be lurking in the ether… I was looking for an angle for a piss take, poor choice maybe
Defo poor choice
Yup
Has it started raining fire in Newcastle yet? Where the fark is Troy?
…re. the article, without stating the bloody obvious, I think if you’re good enough to finish in the top 5 of the Premier League these days you’re good enough for Europe. Our league is absolutely rammed with foreign players and being an elite league, has become an amalgamation of all the world’s leagues and the styles of play within them. The only thing we’re lacking is a few cheating/diving Spaniards.
Troy is in Jones Town apparently
Think we have a first 11 who can give anyone a game on their day regardless of who it is. I do worry about the squad , can we cope playing Thursday Sunday Thursday Sunday etc etc? One thing that has been said about Pardew is he like to prepare his team very well and we had the luxury of having a week ( most of the time ) to prepare for our next game. Will the Europa league have an impact on our league position next season? I think we need the likes of Ferguson Vuckic Sammi to make an impact in the squad next season. Its gonna be tough but already looking forward to next season.
Aussie
…whipping up a vat of special cordial?
Worst/best case scenareo what is the most games extra we will play? What numbers are we looking at ?
That’s what I hear Rodz
Aussie I think its 10-12 games to get out of the group stage.
Cheers Johno, just under a 1/3 more game than this year..
To be honest I don’t think the players you mention will play a big part in the European games. We will need them for the PL and think we’ll play the younger ones in EL.
I could be wrong with that Aussie. Will depend on where we come into the competition at.
Kim, it is our first. But still nobody has popped out yet. Contractions are still going and the midwife is helping us along, but we’re still a few hours away from delivery I think
i think pards will go for it
Johno@14, that’s my only minor concern. I’m sure if we bring in 3 or 4 quality replacements this summer we’ll have a squad big enough to cope. A good mix of experience combined with a few of the younger players we’ve got champing at the bit should serve us well.
Stay strong AndrewT
…get a bit of that gas and air down you. 
This has probably been covered before, but am I right in thinking that we will enter the Europa League at the play-off stage, regardless of what happens tonight? The play-off stage is just one (two-legged) match, right? Then into the group stage?
Fletcher’s back!
(never did like the bumming skeletons, or that other one that looked like Meat Loaf)
That is it Rod , we need a few players in and I think the club will get the quality we need in. Hope Carr has a few players lined up and hit the ground running like last season.
Jon R…yep…I think
Here’s hoping eh Johno. Must admit, my transfer window fear has subsided somewhat these days. I honestly don’t think Fatty is stupid enough to destroy the opportunity he has to showcase Sp**ts D***ct across the globe every season, through through European fixtures, and the high profile image a Sp**ts D***ct branded NUFC will regain through them. Call me an optimist (well don’t) but I see us staying up there now.
I just hope we don’t start all that yo-yo shit again I.E. 3rd one season 14th the next.
I’m proper rooting for Chelsea today like. Fair enough, I don’t like them, but I fkn HATE Spurs. It’d be marvelous to see Champions League football slip from their grasp.
…can’t see it though, unfortunately.
i still think 1 big name will go rod to fund new players
I do think we will sell one player for well over the odds that they are worth to us and I am prepared for that but it will be re-invested back into recuritment one way or another. But I do think the future is bright for us and hopefully over next few seasons we stay in Europe , maybe get champions league football back and win something!
Hitman/Johno, yeah maybe, I’m sort of expecting it but I’m also expecting the money to be re-invested; that’s pretty much why I said 3 or 4 players. I think 3 would do it if we kept what we’ve got, but I agree with you, we’ll probably sell someone for big bucks and ‘dilute’ them into 3,4, maybe even 5 others. I hate speculating over players leaving, but I’d be surprised if we still had both Ba and Tiote at the start of the season. Although I hope not, I think one of them will leave. They seem the most obvious.
Rod I think Ba will go, Im sure about his clause but Pards said something like ‘ Mike wont sell anyone for £7 million he is a tough seller ‘ makes me think it will be Ba but for double that.
….I just hope we don’t sell 3 (Simpson, Guthrie, Tiote) and buy 5 kind of deal. We need at least 3 ‘additions’. Obviously some of our current squad players will need to drop out of the 25.
…speaking of squads, you know the 25 man rule thing, I know you can have unlimited U21s, that means 21 and under, doesn’t it?
Rodz
You do not need to name anyone under 21 on 1 Jan 2012 in the 2012/13
squad.
JT but will jabba get more for BA i dont see it with this 7mill thing (if true) BA gets half so it leaves toon with sweet fa when you look at what we payed out in agents fees ect ect to sign him so imo another one will go to pay for incomeings,sad but thats the way i see it
ah, OK. Cheers Sidekick.
So that means out of our current squad of 31, we’ll be one over next season. We’ll still be safe with 5 of them: Abeid, Sameobi, Vuckic, Fergie and Tavernier.
…Gosling just scraped it in by the hairs of his arse last season, in case anyone was wondering.
No he didn’t. He was 21 on Jan 1st 2011.
…ah whatever. I’m off.
Back again.
…dunno who I want to win the play-offs today really. I’d like to see West Ham back, but Fat Sam is a nob. I’d personally love to see Holloway back, I think he’s ace/funny, but Blackpool just doesn’t seem right.
Here’s a thought….if West Ham miss out on promotion I’d like to see Blackburn sign up Kevin Nolan. He’d be a marketing masterstroke for Venky’s with his goal scoring chicken dance. I can just see the TV ads now……….
…..tumbleweeds……..
kmee, it appears Troy’s cataclysmic Newcastle prediction has came true
Is everyone deed or what
(probli just waiting for me to go, I’ll get me coat)
Its got to the stage that I really don’t care who we sell anymore. We as fans are so far removed from having any say in what goes down, it seems pointless worrying. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t want our better players to leave but how much stress do you invest in something you can’t control.. As much as it pains me to say, I just hope that Ashley will do the right thing and we come out stronger as a result.. I can’t do the angry shit anymore, it does my head in and makes no difference… Pards and Carr seem to be on the money so I hope they pick some winners
Well normally when an English team plays a CL final i hope they win but tonight if Chelsea win they get a CL ticket thus pushing spurs into the Europa league . Here’s the thing , as i understand it we with 5th place have won outright qualification to the Group stage . If Chelsea win Spurs will get the 5th place ticket pushing us into the qualifiying rounds for the group stage . Can anyone on here clarify this . if so for the first time ever i will be cheering for the Germans .
Rodz, I’ve got your back mate
Rodz are you still there? Stay away from the light!!
Andrew@22- You might be in for a long wait then ,good luck anyway to you both.Wait till you see that baby you’ll be hit for six and soooo proud ,your lifes gonna change big time .
Don’t drink Brians cordial
Axel@47- I think you may be right mate.
i will be cheering on the erics,dont like chelski
Tell you what, there is jack shit news about is there. Nee inspiration. It’ll come
Axel – 5th place gets the final qualifying round. The team who takes the FA Cup place goes straight into the groups.
I have no idea how it works from then on mind
I just hope Chelsea win to knock the Spurts out of the CL so I can sit back and watch the exodus over the summer
Where is Wolfie ,he ain’t been on in ages ,have you banned him Toonsy
Now that is just spiteful Toonsy
I’m with Toonsy on this one ,mass exodus would be soooo funny, what with Arry always trying to nick players would be divine retribution like.
Not you too Kim
Toonsy in that case a chelsea win will push us into the first or second qualifying round .The alarm bells are starting to ring because that means we will be playing them before the season even starts and even when the olympics are on . Thus no Ba (if he is not sold) and no Cisse . We need to start moving fast in the transfer market.
nee news, raining from the heavens for 4 wks now its enough to drive a man to drink,well thats a canny idea
bet richie is lying aboot in the sun,well lying aboot anyway
Still here Aussie, just nipped oot to the army surplus shop. Sat here now kitted oot heed to toe in a lead-lined suit and gas mask, just in case the blast from the nuclear fahlloot travels further south to where I am. Sorted.
…I’m in Toonsy’s camp on the CL final. I want Spurs to suffer
…reet, off oot to buy some Hydroxocobalamin from Argos, just in case mi watta supply gets contaminated.
Laters…
RODZILLA your worrying to much m8 , one good Northsea wind will blow the fahloot away man . Hopfully towards the scum doon the road .
Ice, maybe the 30 days and 30 nights of rain is Troy catyclysmic event that he has foretold…. all aboard Troy reality arc
I would kill to see ‘arrys face if chelski today this his twitch would go fecking mental, Also come on blackpool lets have that fat twunts reputation on its arse…
AMF aye the silence is deafening,didnt i tell you to stop useing big words richie is fooked if you use more than six letters in words
Ice
there is a good chance I spelt that big word wrong so it will make sense to Rich 
What time does the lay-off final kick-off anyone?
3 o’clock
hope at least this storey is right i dont rate the guy one bit
http://www.sambafoot.com/en/news/31418_newcastle_close_to_giving_up_on_douglas.html
Ice, if it is in the press, we are not after him… they know nowt mate..
Cheers for the reassurance Axel. I think the mackems have built up an immunity anyway so they should be OK, sat there with their 6 fingers and webbed feet
ice
When ive seen him hes looked solid and pretty pacey which would be useful after watching willo and he scored in a couple of the matches to boot which is what pards is after apparantly.
Might have just caught him on some good days like…
AMF aye your reet,one good thing i will say about jabba is he pays cash on the nail for players which puts us on the front foot when dealing with clubs its better than selling them on the “never”never payments in this day and age you can tend to get that bit cheaper imo,talking cheaper richie must be out on the perv today
Who was our last Brazilian defender.. it was Casapa wasn’t it? He would want to be better than that fella
CC you could be reet,but ive watched him quite a lot only on the box like imo hes crap,but then again ive been wrong before
hes a boomsong waiting to happen imo
Your right about Ritchie, Ice. He said he was dropping his missus off somewhere so no doubt the porn sites will be getting a working over, he won’t have time for football talk
Fecking Boomsong.. Rangers saw us coming with that guy..
AMF kna he will out with his best gear; white-mack and sunglasses
Ice
ice
Like i said i might have just caught him on a couple of good days, Whatever happens i hope we bring in some quality to cover Colo and Saylor because perch and williamson are ok on the odd occasion but if were gonna push on next we need much better imo…
AMF aye think there must have been some back-handers on that deal.
richie can hide anywhere i wouldnt say hes on the big side but had to get his mac handmade rent-a-tent done him a good deal
Ice, Rich told me he was just big boned
It will be a good effort from Blackpool if the get straight back into the pl… hope w/ham fall on their arse. The pre game is just on the tele here now.. should be a good game..
Pards is on the pre game panel… nice one:-)
AMF ime hopeing b/pool do it m8 stick it right up big dick
Me too mate! !
Pards just said that “Troy Stavers was speaking out of his arse and shouldn’t be spreading rumours”, when asked about the big news to be announced this week..
If anyone’s interested were through to the quarters of the hong kong 7s tourny. Won all three games, including v 5 time winners villa, without conceding a goal. Celtic in the quarters first up in the small hours of the morning
CC you must have watched him when he was playing against the likes of Excelsior or VVV venlo . Seriously the guy is nothing better than championship level . Even Bramble would be a better signing ,he is that bad .
Ice, I think I’d prefer Blackpool, purely down to the managers rather than teams. But I think West Ham will do them in normal time. Same for Bayern, I can’t see Chelsea keeping them out, on their doorstep, with Chelsea missing their two best defenders.
…hope am reet anyway, or Bet365 are gona love me
C’mon Blackpool .
RODZILLA i fancy Blackpool to win today , Holloway is a clever manager and deserves more credit than he gets . i would love to see him back in the premiership next season . Think your right about Bayern though if Robben and Ribery are on top form tonight then i see chelsea getting a royal shafting 4or5 nil . Chelsea are missing too many of their better players for this one .
@Axel don’t worry about the CL result, it doesn’t affect where we enter the Europa in the slightest.
From wiki “When the domestic cup winners (considered as the “highest-placed” qualifiers within the national association) also qualify for the Champions League, their Europa League place is vacated, and the remaining Europa League qualifiers are moved up one place, with the final place (with the earliest starting round) taken by the domestic cup runners-up”
We definitely go in at the final playoffs
Liverpool definitely go in the round before that.
As it stands: Chelsea as FA cup winners go straight into the groups, however if the FA Cup winners win the CL League than 4th place (now the most valuable Europa league standing not FA Cup runners up) will go straight into the Europa group stages.
So either Spurs or Chel$ki go straight into the group stage, we always go via playoffs.
My head hurts.
WOW CLOSE THERE
SOLANSTRUMPET cheers m8 and after researching all that , its nee wonder your heeds hurting .
Phew…just missed the first 6 minutes, Howay Blackpool
Been reading that Bolton have released 15 players including Greta Stiennson . Any one else think he would be a good signing for free .
Phillips had loads of time there ,wasted chance that.
RICHIE you shoundnt have stopped out perving so long you will gan blind i just chance one eye
Feck ,he’s got a score in a minute so close
Ice…I wish, wor lass is on a course so had to drop her off, then pick her up again at 8……unless she’s having an affair
, but hey if a man can watch the footy in peace, who am I to complain 
@SolanosTrumpet: You are absoutley right.
We wouldn’t even meet any english club till after group stages.That is if we win our play off.
RICHIE never fails lol,hes a good!n
shit wet spam 1.0 up
shit that means sam will shut up shop noo
Didn’t know Alan Pardew is at skysports now.
Come on Blackpool, it will be a defeat for football if West Spam and Sam win. Don’t want that man back in the prem.
Shit , if West Ham win this Allardyce will start saying he should of got the england job because he is the greatest manager ever . Thats until he is bottom of the premiership at christmas and gets sacked again .
AXEL dont build my hopes up mate
32 – Blackpool won 32 points from losing positions in the regular Championship season; more than any other side. Comeback? #PlayOffFinal
1 – The only side to come from behind to win a Championship playoff final since 2003 were Blackpool (2010). Undecided. #PlayOffFinal
Nicely taken equaliser
Ince 1.1 yes
YES!!! Almost identical to the West Ham goal. Game on!
See i am right.
Feck they very nearly had another there
Ince,the one player who is being a boo target by west ham supporter scores.
I don’t want west ham o get promoted as much for their dodgy owners speaking out of turn as for Sam. Mostly I want Blackpool up for the entertainment of holloway
blackpool should be outta sight here .
Blackpool have looked threatening all match when they have the ball in that last third. Just need to keep control of the game and the ball in the second half which they couldn’t sustain in the first
Blackpool need to keep attacking as Hammers are rocked they cant sit back again like in first half.
Maybe Fat Sham is entering his last half hour as west ham boss
Great save
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MJLMcflYdLg
Hopefully this burst later for the Hammers.
Got to start takeing these chances.
Axel hopefully. As long as it doesn’t end with him taking another job in the premiership
Afternoon all, what time is Champions league final kick off?
Deb 7.45
cheers DubToon
C’mon Blacka’s
C’mon Chelski
Bollox
Shit ,should never of sat back too late now
What a shitter , if their is 1 manager that does not deserve to be in the premiership its that fat git .
Blackpool were far the better team in the second half. West Ham didn’t deserve that at all.
Well I tell you what ,if West ham don’t invest in players they are straight back down cause they were shit today. If Blackpool had better finishers they would of been out of sight and West Ham won’t be that lucky in the PL. Cisse and Benny will have a field day against that lot .
Blackpool are a pleasure to watch, the whole team pass it around crisply and work it into the final third. Willo and Simpson need some lessons at Blackpool.
If Blackpool wern’t relying on a 38-year old Kevin Philips I think they would be back in the prem. Just shows the difference between buying a striker or not.
Ollie deserves big credit for what he achieves with lesser players ,he is very taticly astute and I was really impressed with Tom Ince a right chip off the old block there.
Ollie to Villa, Steve Nicol to Liverpool, & Chelsea to be decided tonight
club make contact with hoillets agent.
HITMAN wheres that from,divnt tell me twatter
chelski are on the ropes big time
I’m the father of a baby boy! Baby Jack and mother appreciate all the good vibes sent our way
AndrewT…congrats to you and your lass and young “Keegan ShearerT” too
congrats andrewt
Andrew ,wow ,congratulations ,another Toon army member
ALL the best to all three of you.
Congrats Andrew T! What name are you going to call him? Shearer perhaps?
Jack Shearer T would have a nice ring to it!
AndrewT….I’m guessing the “Jack” is after Jackie Milburn, ya just need the Keegan Shearer in there too and ya sorted, suggest it to your lass now, she’ll love it
Chelsea living very dangerously ,don’t think Spuds need to be sweating too much on this result …..then again
Think it goes without saying that the experience will help, also I think these are the sort of games where Obertan and so can shine as foreign teams sometimes leave them selves a bit more open. I still don’t expect to win it, but I think we can get the the 1/4 or semi’s.
Kim- I hope Spurs don’t get CL, the look on arry’s face will be a sight, be even more of a sight when Modric/Bale/VDV all ask to leave for CL football.
Roman’s misses is alright like.
Spencer- very true ,would be nice payback for all the times Arry as gobbed off about other teams players.
Spencer ,his money ain’t bad either
Rather have his misses, having said that, she comes with the money
Andrew congrats to you’s all mate
Spence what is happening you little toe rag
where have you been 
Who are you Big Dave?
Nah I have just had a little kid as well.
Spence we don’t want to know about your gf
So was it true that you were in doing a bit of time or was Batts having a laugh
Nah it’s true mate.
Got caught with class A.
Spence are you still working away
As for Robbin Ihe is causing chelski some probs
Fuk Ribbery is one ugly fuker him and Obertan would do well in a ghost train
I got sent down mate.
Been hoyed out of sixth form for it.
Lifes basically out the window now mate.
Spence @ 163 what did I tell you about dealing with that stuff FFS did I teach you nowt
Random check and had it on me in my mates car. Was gunna hoy it on the floor and blame him but I am not a twat.
Well Spence look on the brightside it could be worse you could be a mackem
Drogba looks well pissed off tonight
You do realise I am pulling your strings? Got an A in my business coursework so expecting a B/A over all, expecting the same in economics, then on an A in sport to. I just have not been on really mate, no reason why to be honest with you.
Spence there is nowt I don’t know lad
well done glad you kept the head down mate, as you only get outta life what you put into it 
I don’t even know why I chose to come on tonight like. Just did.
was it because that nasty fuker Batty isn’t on
or you knew I was on 
If a knew you were on I would have stayed off
What has happened to Ice?
fuk I think thats chelski fuked now
Written in the stars
Spence he might be having a few JD’s tonight he’s normally about like
aargh not a good day ,Wet spam back in PL now Chelski 1.0 down
Ahh right and batty, is he just taking a few dicks like he used to?
the Drog
Feck me Drogba ,that was brilliant
oh dear Arry .
Dave
Alreet Spence lad.
“Drogbaaaaaaeeaaaaaaaaaa”
Tissues for Neville someone
Kim theres nowt we can do now about BSA and tugboat, but chelski could still fuk sloppy chops plans up
Come on Chelsea
Spence @ 178 you might see Ice now as he is normally watching Batts back
Can you imagine lads if we was in 4th place ,we’d be having kittens right now.
Shit free kick
KimT….was just thinking that, it would have been gutting to finish 4th then chelski win, that said I’d love it to happen to Spurs
Alreet RT, how’s it going mate?
Not too bad mate, how’s sunny Forest Hall?
Sy, are you doing a euro FF?
ANDREWT congrats m8 , thats a brilliant way to finish a great season , hope mother and baby are well .
Not to bad mate.
Get in there woo hoo
Or not Dave
Jeepers ,go to front door come back and I’ve missed a pen save
Reet away to get some scran
How did he miss that!!!
anyone else, on here thinking , we could beat munich with our 4 -3 – 3 formation??? i rekon we would of done them on the counter attack, thats why am looking forward to europe next season
yes am drinking, but “i believe” 
Penalty shoot out, luvly jubbly
Pens then
squeaky bum time for watching Spuds fans 
feck
yey
Bloody germans even the keeper takes great pens
go on great save
oh yes misses
Chelsea….Champions League Winners
Unlucky Spurs
Unlucky Tottenham
DROGBAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA …OH MY GOD POOR OLD SPUDS
Hahahaha poor old Harry
Why would Ba want to go to Spurts now
Bloody hell am I glad we never finished 4th now
Can’t wait to read the spurs forum .
Must be heartbreaking for Platini having to hand the trophy to an English team
He’ll have to do it again next year with the Europa
That’s the spirit Richie
Roman will probably do the decent thing now and not give di Matteo his P45 ’til Monday
spirit!!!!! aye ill have a j/d hic hic
Richie
aye when spurs win it
All hail the Spuds mass exodus this summer
Just thinking about that Rich. They can’t get rid of him now surely. I mean his record has been superb and he’s done something “big”names like Ancelotti, Scolari and Mourinho failed to do.
Just thinking , will this help England in the Euros ? Lampard , Cole ,Terry & Cahill will be going there with a belief that they can win big now .Lets hope that rubs off on the rest of the squad.
KIMTOON aye good point what a sickner if we had got 4th,ime over the moon for arry
Toonsy….he defo deserves the job, he has to be given it surely, there’ll be hell on if he isn’t.
Andy…nae chance of Spurs winning it, all their players will be leaving for a “big club”
I’m actually pleased for them. I thought overall it was a poor standard, not what you would expect from a champions league final. I thought Munich were poor and I’m glad they didn’t win. Plus Spuds get knocked out of the champions league and down to our level which is good news for this summer and next season.
Seen some better dribbling from the two Blackburn lads today and I’m not joking.
# Blackpool. Seen a chicken at Blackburn.
Just been on the fighting cock forum. 3 gems from spuds fans
“There is no god….filthy money and neo-nazi fans is what wins prizes….maybe we shoulda done more gas chamber hissing and booing the minutes silence at wembley…..did the trick for them didn’t it?
The exodus starts here ……Fucking Schweincuntz! ”
“Whats the point anymore”
“Couldn’t give less of a shit about playing in the champions league
It’s the fact that that scummy ,disgusting, cancerous,husk of a football club and it’s dirty racist, BNP fans with their dirty racist BNP captain are celebrating flucking the CL by playing complete anti football
utter dogshite”
Not too bitter then
you should see what they say about harry .
Congrats Andrew T on adding to the Toon Army. Hope all are well.
Well done to Chelski, poor old Arry it’s just not been his year
Kim
Would like someone to approach Arry’ or a spud fan and say “That Bale guy looks good, will look even better in blue and red” 
Spurs fans are disgusting, much like WH fans, all involved in the riot in some way.
Is anyone else seeing my avatar as that army guy’s thats sometimes on here?
Toonsoldier9′s avatar? And his is showing up as Big Dave’s one
Just stopped by to lol at spurs. Some journo needs to fing arry and stick a mic in his face.
‘Redknapps sacking has to be swift and immediate and i feel we should take the FA to court to compensate us for the revenue we will miss out on due to Redknapps failure when the England job was vacant and members of the FA and opposition managers were constantly linking our manager to the job.
we have now practically lost Bale, Modric, Adebayor and any chance we had of signing real top quality this summer i will not attend another THFC match until that charlatan has gone’
hehehe
Haha. This is great
Just reading through a few comments, the expectation of Spurs fans is sky high now!! They are absolutely expectant of champs league and if not then the manager should be sacked. I know we have been in the doldrums and they have had a good few seasons but who do they think they are?? Man United fans now? I love that the expectation levels have gone down to a realistic level at Newcastle now. I can see spurs sliding back to where they belong (virtually irrelevant) if a few players jump and the manager walks.
http://www.tottenhamhotspurs.tv/players-lounge/28284-we-have-been-screwed-7.html
scroll through that if you fancy a laugh HAHAHAH
HWTL
Djg. Was thinking the same thing. They’re dedelusional. Theyre more like us than the manchesters. We’ll see how
they deal without modric and bale.
It’s funny because we qualified for the CL a few times, so we kind of started to expect it(which is only human nature imo) and got labelled deluded. They do it once and come to “expect” it yet won’t get labelled deluded
nowt to do with ‘Arry being the media darling I suppose?
Spurs fans are whinging like feck but I bet every single last one of them would have accepted 4th at the start of the season, much as I dislike ‘Arry(and I detest the fecker) it’s not his fault 4th hasn’t brought CL this season, more a quirk of fate.
Well done Chelsea though, one of my least favourite teams but they’ve worn down better teams than they are(imo) and got themselves the “big prize”…and the added bonus of John Terry not playing a part on the big night
