I don't get why people say Swansea are good to watch, they're so boring the times I've seen them play and this match is boring as **** too. I caught the end 20 mins of the Spurs match and they weren't boring as this.

Yeah Spurs have signed the completely wrong striker in Soldado. Their other buys have been decent.

It's a derby game.. neither team want to give anything away.

I'll concede that we've been stale for the last 10 games (in all comps).

Who gives a crap about 4th and different players if the manager will choose boring players and play them in a boring formation.

For me, there is 90 mins of football, that can be entertaining... or not, then regardless of if that football is good or bad you may find you've won a title, lost a title, whatever else in between. The act of sitting and watching football happens irrespective of the result, I prefer to watch entertaining football and games, two teams trying to win is almost always better to watch than one team sitting back doing nothing.

Spurs weren't remotely this boring to watch under Harry and were doing no better, or worse.

Ultimately as above, you don't win titles, you might have a team that managers to sneak into the champs league but they'll do smeg all in it if they play that way.


Either way, a good day of football seems to have been followed by a **** day of football so far.

Harry's Tottenham were received totally different from the current day team. Teams come and put 10 men behind the ball against us now. That didnt happen under Harry and we lost whenever it did happen as we couldnt break down the opposition.He also had Modric and VDV and a first season Adebayor at his disposal. AVB lost all three of those and built a team around the one great player he had, who then left.

AVB has managed to gut much of the dross from Harry's squad, bring in some great players and he is now trying to build a new team again (which took this long last season). Spurs can't attract the top level of creative talent but we have got some players who are looking really promising (Eriksen, Townsend, Siggy and Holtby). We spent enormously on two players who haven't come good but Berba and Modric needed a season before really shining so we need to afford Lamela and Soldado the same time.
