Honestly the stupidity of some people just amazes me (and no, for once I'm not thinking GIMP), surely during one point of thinking of and making this, then taking it to the ground and unfurling it, did someone say "ya know I don't think this is a great idea".

Geniuses.

Hope Walcott buggers off somewhere else and gets a proper run. Chief Whingeur isn't going to give him a shot unless he starts speaking with a French accent.
He played him plenty before this season despite no French accent.

Absolute stupidity.

Not sure unfurling a banner like that should be an arrestable offence though.

Well it's an offensive word in itself, and no other reason to call him that other than because the racial abuse he's received, so in the end offensive in more than one way.

How's speaking with a French accent going to improve his ability to trap a ball?

Our worst start since 82/83. Starting to doubt whether this team can requalify for the Champions League. This is a rot we're in.

International friendlies during the season should be banned.

In tournament years they serve a purpose in the second half of the season but the rest of the time they seem more and more pointless

Money thang, innit?

Whilst they turn a profit we're stuck with 'em, pointless as I agree they are.

Least there was a vague point to the old British Championship internationals. Before we got all Billy Big Biscuits (how unlike the English...) and kiboshed them.

I seem to recall there was talk of bringing them back with the Republic in place of England; did anything ever come of that?

Hideous game here. Spurs have been terrible from start to finish, AVB seems to have decided they should always leave as much space in behind as possible. Citeh are just addicted to fouling.
