BOF Posted February 16, 2011 Moderator Share Posted February 16, 2011 Perhaps it's due to sheer incompetence and why he isn't in the job anymore as well? Or perhaps Spurs are really quite good. I didn't see Bale have much of an effect on them outplaying AC last night. Just a thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morley_crosses_to_Withe Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 I live and work amongst Spurs fans so seeing them do well makes me want to spew my bollocks up. Saying that, though - there's no doubt that Harry is a very good manager. I reckon if he'd have been managing Villa since Lerner took over, rather than O'Quitter, then it'd have been us playing in the Champions League instead. Remember the last time we finished above Arsenal? Some of the posters on here were probably still wearing nappies at the time. We were on an even keel to them at the time, but then they appointed the right manager for the job, and we haven't finished above them since. I hope the same doesn't happen with Spurs.

Mantis Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 I don't understand the Spurs hate. Yeah I dislike them and everything but they're shown almost as much vitriol as SHA on here and I don't know why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maradona10 Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 I hate Spurs, mainly due to Glaston Spur and Harry Redknapp. But they deserve respect to what they achieved yesterday in my opinion. Hopefully they turn out like Leeds though!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I dislike them and everything but they're shown almost as much vitriol as SHA on here and I don't know why. The only people there I hate are Redknapp and Gallas. A lot of the players they have are class acts both on and off the pitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted February 16, 2011 Moderator Share Posted February 16, 2011 I'm not underestimating AC Milan, as we've got the second leg to come, but there aren't that many players there that you'd really clamour to get in your team. If someone lined them up and said, 'which of these players do you want?' I don't think I'd take many of them.Hard to disagree. There's a few alright, but on balance it's an indictment of the Serie 'A' that Spurs probably have the edge on paper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CastleBromVilla Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 Am i the only Villa fan happy about Spurs' win? I'd like to see them go through aswell, because they play entertaining football, they're a breath of fresh air, certainly better than watching the usual teams play out boring games.

Yeah I dislike them and everything but they're shown almost as much vitriol as SHA on here and I don't know why. Its quite simple: 1] Harry Redknapp gets called a fraud on Panorama. 2] Portsmouth's first game after Panorama was Villa away. 3] Villa fans give Redknapp loads of shit over the Panorama program. 4] Redknapp says something about the nasty Villa fans in the media. 5] The hate fest commences, and its never ended.

PompeyVillan Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 I hate Spurs less when their fans don't post on here. As a football club they're admirable and we should be looking to emulate their success. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BOF Posted February 16, 2011 Moderator Share Posted February 16, 2011 I just got the impression that you were putting too much stock on their results being because they were unknowns rather than on the fact that they might be genuinely better than the teams they are beating. As Harry says, if you line up the AC Milan team, there aren't many he'd 'clamour' to take from it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomaszk Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 They were fantastic last night. It's so annoying to look at spurs and see what a strong team they have. It's Spurs for God's sake! Hopefully they'll crumble when Harry messes off to England. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AVFC-Prideofbrum Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 I was hoping they'd win last night just because of AC's actions, at the start of the game, I didn't know what I wanted. All neutral. I hope they don't win anything though. Although hope they finish 4th...I'd love for City not to finish 4th again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its strange, i don't think they have a fantastic team, certainly not a team that id look at and think there's a quality team. But they work together, much like MONs teams did. Yes they have some quality like Modric and Bale but these are the only players that would demand £20 mil plus fees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 I dont mind Spurs but cant stand Redknapp. Not going to take anything away from him he has done a brilliant job there and he has a lot of very good players at his diposal. I really like that new kid Sandro. Think him and Modric could be a decent combination for them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
