I have no idea what players you like, what you think of Poch etc. I would much rather someone be honest about players than have a self righteous fence sitter who does nothing..NOTHING but piss and moan about posters.
He will either play a blinder or will make you wish you were blind? That would mean he plays well every other game.
So you don't actually watch Spurs. You just come here to vent.
The perfect comparison is probably Mason - a player who many said wasn't good enough (myself included) but has applied himself to the extent we have missed him whilst injured, does anyone feel we missed Townsend when he was injured?
I like him, or rather I want to like him but the evidence is mounting up against the lad.

because I don't talk to fools like you?
haha
you think way too much of yourself - here, let me spell it out for you in simple terms.
I think you are a tit - because of the opinions that you air, and because of interpretations of what I say - like the one's above. I have no wish to waste my time talking about a sport I love, or the team I have supported for 48 years with someone whose opinions are somewhere between farce and lunacy.
I would rather share my opinions with my dog, than with you.
Let me know if you're not sure about my feelings - I know us fence sitters can be a little vague at times.
Their combined brains do.
Hi mick,
Love the comparison to the rocket. Slightly before my days, but remember watching him as a kid, especially his magic fa cup moment- 1994 or '95 (?) quarters with his blinding hat trick. Let's hope andros can achieve a similar feat for us one day(!).
Support is a funny thing. Got my season ticket at the end of GG's acrimonious tenancy at the club. Walked into the park lane. No waiting lists back then, but have ended up moving over the seasons, for various reasons, including the shelf and Paxton, and have always been surprised at the level of scathing abuse directed at one or two players. Jenas for me, was another example. But I have come to appreciate that people want different things from their support of the club.
However, I think with the youthfulness of this squad, we could develop a great team spirit, and andros, I'd suggest, has a part to play, being a Tottenham boy. Not saying I want the team to be built around the lad, but cups/early Europe with some occasional substitute appearances using his direct style of play sounds alright by me.

it seems that the only thing to do with wide men is to play them on the "wrong" wing so they can cut in for a shot at goal. Lennons shot was poor and his crossing wasn't all that brilliant - so he had to go, and I suspect AT will go for similar reasons. I think his best shot at redemption will be to play wide left delivering searching crosses - but if Poch doesn't want that kind of build up then I fear the worst for him.
Personally I find myself on the Townsend has to go side. Unlike others though, I think it's a shame.
To me he's another Paulinho and Soldado; a player with great potential and a skillset that could see him be a very good player for us, but a player who won't be able to show it in Spurs. His confidence while wearing our beautiful shirt seems to be fucked, making him try to hard and affecting his decision making.
We should've sold him or loaned him out after his injury a couple of years ago, when he started showing the signs that his head wasn't right. Partly because his appearances since then has mostly been quite dreadful, but mostly because it would benefit him and his career.
I'm certain he would look amazing for a lesser PL side where he could've been the star player.

In my opinion I don't think it's a confidence thing, i think it's his decision making that's fucked and i can't see that improving a great deal in the short term.
So unless Andros becomes a much better player technically and can start to do it all by himself on a regular basis then i don't think we will ever see any more from him than being an impact player who can pull something out the bag in 2 out of 10 attempts.

He reminds me of Arjen Robben.
In terms of hairstyle?He reminds me of Arjen Robben.
Can't think of much else, tbh
He's still shit. Being Tottenham through and through only gets you so far.
change the fucking record you dick.
As Ossie Ardiles and Hoddle found out during their managerial careers here!
IMO he is worse on the left than he is the right. He's been utterly terrible every time played on the left for us.
