One of the positives is that there's only Chelsea to go and then all the Metropolitan luvvies favourite clubs will have all moved grounds.  Hopefully, then we won't have to "enjoy" another similar spectacle.  I hardly think the media will go to town in quite the same way for, say, Everton moving.

I'm surprised about the commotion being as unlike the others, it is literally the same location.

Tottenham, has there ever been a bigger bunch of underachieving shit? So many class players too. Sky wankfest. I haven't watched any of it as I kind of knew what to expect.

How many of those Tottingham fans would have stormed onto the pitch if they still had the likes of Calderwood and Ramon Vega playing? Nothing but tourists wanting their story to tell the nephew.

Quite right. Their current status is hardly typical of the club. A far more fitting finale would have seen Steve Sedgley doing a lone lap of honour, going down with a minor injury and being replaced by David Howells. Guy Butters and Dean Austin would look on concerned. The whole world would glance round briefly at this ceremony, like a man who thought he might have heard a slight buzzing noise but wasn't sure, then immediately forget it ever happened. That, far more than this nauseating wankfest, would epitomise the Spurs I have known all my life.

What were you expecting? I have genuinely no idea why any non-Tottenham fan would be watching.

They've finished top five 9 of the last 12 seasons, that's pretty impressive. To put it into context, we've finished top five 9 times since 1930.

Didn't they go 20 years without finishing top or bottom 6. Last 10 years yes they've massively got their act together and become a major player in the premier league.

Still haven't won much though, 2 league cups in 25 years, same as yes. This time could well be difference but they still messed up the cup semi final.

There was some really good goals in the Forest Green/Tranmere match today.

It was quite a good watch.

A quick look and it was 15 years of never being higher than 7th or lower than 15th (15th place finishes were back in 22 teams days so no bottom six).

Just read that Moyes and LvG had higher PL win ratios with Man Utd than The Moaning One has.
