Geremi has not been s****. He does an important job, its just not a glamorous one, and you are too young to understand that.

James, 22.

My point is that at 22, you are maybe a bit young yourself to be using the "too young to understand that" line, thats all.  Other people here also think Geremi has been disappointing, perhaps some who are even older than 22, so where Kev's age comes into it I don't really know.

Don't see anything wrong with that

Smart arse

Subs: Harper, Rozehnal, Emre, Martins, Ameobi

No need for wholesale changes. Caçapa and Faye worked well together and Enqrique looked good from an attacking perspective. Butt had his best game of the season against Everton, by an absolute landslide, and Milner and N'Zogbia pick themselves now that they're both fit, as far as i am concerned. Front two are obvious, imo.

The only reservation i have is with Milner. He needs a rest and it fits in nicely with Emre coming back into the side, but it's really not a great idea changing it massively following the Everton game. We'll have a strong bench regardless so we'll see how it goes.

Hopefully off to this one.

Newcastle 1-1 Tottenham

think owen and martins would frighten the pants off s**** like Dawson, not that Sam will go for this. if spurs decide to push up against them, both players would have a field day with their pace and movement in behind. if they played deep to negate Martins' pace we'd naturally have a territorial advantage, while Owen will be laughing, as he's an expert in finding space in a congested penalty box. Not as much need for the big man to win long-balls, as we are at home and can gradually build up play and dominate possession, rather than have to snatch at, and lose, possession by hastily forcing it long everytime. there's also a need to keep possession upfield so the ball doesn't just ping straight back at us, but i think Owen's ball retention and passing have improvely massively in the past few years, while Martins looked very composed in this part of the game against Everton, and has the benefit of immense strength to fend off the likes of Kaboul or Zokora. oh and he is canny in the air too. It also helps having Emre in there, we saw how he played at the apex of the triangle and supported Owen and Smith, playing some lovely one-twos to create openings, so it is like having another forward when we push up. Behind him, N'Zogbia or Geremi can both comfortably tuck in to cover Emre's forays upfield, while Martins can drop wide to fill in the space out on the flanks, something he's done very well this season.

as for other decisions, Given is in poor form and Harper's looked relatively solid, while Milner looks shagged out and needs a few weeks of rest.

Paul Robinson on Monday night 

agreed!
i think that martins and owen could fill each other out quite good, i think almost every time they both have been on we have scored?

Spurs fans generally take an interest in how their rivals are faring, whether you do or not is your prerogative.

Turnover up 39% and profit after all player trading up to £29.3m ensures another transfer kitty of over £50m available for the next window should the right players become available.  The fact that Spurs have also announced a dividend for the first time since 1998 also reflects that, at the present time, they are awash with money.

Martin Jol

I find your optimism on the money side fascinating

Dare I say, if true, another 50 million wasted by your namesake?

I thought about putting Martins on the right too, but i'd be worried that he would not provide enough defensive cover and that Bale, who has looked very dangerous this season, would have a free run on Beye. With Geremi you know he is going to put in a good defensive shift, and he can't be much worse than Milner going forward.

We're at home, put their left side under pressure by playing Martins there.

Rather Bale having to track back than us play a containing wide right man which will allow him to push on our fullback
