...that depends... do you know that it is, or are you just wildly speculating??
Took me three times. I got a kick out of the first 2.
yeah i know that, but why would they object? I think they have more important things to concern themselves with.
tbf , the disabled comments are very much the reason i would stay well clear of him
Wonder if they've patched things up..........

Former Tottenham skipper Tim Sherwood has joined the criticism of Glenn Hoddle, reportedly saying the Spurs boss should be sacked if the north London club wants success.
Hoddle came under fire this week over Spurs' decision to release Teddy Sheringham at the end of the season.
And Sherwood, who had four years at White Hart Lane before joining Division One title-winners Portsmouth in January says Hoddle's approach has alienated Spurs players.
"No one at Tottenham would shed a single tear if Glenn Hoddle was sacked tomorrow," Sherwood told The Sun.
"The only way they will bring success back to Tottenham is through a change of manager.
"The dressing room is not together and there is no team spirit. Nobody is busting a gut for the manager.
"The kids have far more respect for guys like Teddy Sheringham, Gus Poyet and Steffen Freund than they do for Hoddle.
"They all turn to the experienced pros for encouragement and advice because the manager won't accept anyone else's point of view and just leaves them all confused.
"The way Hoddle has treated a senior player like Freund is an absolute disgrace. And the decision to release Teddy is entirely down to him.
"When Hoddle was appointed two years ago, there were people at the club who saw him as the God of White Hart Lane. But it certainly hasn't worked out that way.
"You don't need to be a rocket scientist to realise that there is a major problem at the club. And you don't have to be a genius to work out what that problem is."
Hoddle dismissed Sherwood's verbal assault, saying: "I haven't got much to say.
"All I will say on that very, very quickly would be that it's strange that nine months ago he was desperate to stay at this club.
"I was honest enough to let him know that we wouldn't extend his contract.
"As soon as that happened his tune soon changed and has had an axe to grind since then.
"What he probably will not want to let you know is that he was out seven months with a knee injury. He was out from pre-season right through to Christmas.
Hoddle added: "There are a lot of things I could say but as a manager, I won't lower myself to that level."

Hoddle does have a few weird views on life in general but he also has a good football brain.
With someone like Gary Neville at his side he may well do a good job, my worry is, he's been out of the game too long and players attitudes and egos have changed which could spark a clash of personalities.
Liverpool got dalgleish back and he couldn't cope with the changes.

Why? It has nothing at all to do with football.
if he said it , it makes me despise him as a human being so why would i stand behind a man i despise ?
we could sign Di Canio and say , hey he is a fascist but thats nothing to do with football
A lot of Hoddle's words got twisted in that interview. Plus it has no f*ckin relevance. Some players believe in Islam and Christianity and to me that is just as barmy.
Plus Glenn has already managed us after that whole furore anyway so I don't know why people suddenly have an issue with it now.

Such a load of bullshit in this thread. The man is a class act as a manager. It just didnt help that he had a shit squad at Spurs. You are all forgetting just how shit we was 10 years ago ffs!
His England record is good enough, and he commands more than enough respect off the playing staff.
So GTFO.

He had England playing great football... Judas header against the Argies stands and who knows what might have happened.
Remember the caliber of player he was given to work with when he was with us.
What are you basing this on. He has managed just a couple of seasons in the premier league and was England manager but that was 10 years ago.
Just because he has a good philosophy about how the game shoul be played doesn't mean he has the skills to bring it to life on the pitch and get results. Otherwise do you not think he would have done so already at least at some level?
Well you can fuck off then if you despise Glenn Hoddle. Are you spurs or not for fucks sake?
He done as good as could be expected in all honesty with the team we had back then. Top half finishes and a League Cup Final.
What a shocking decision that was. Robbed us.
