I knew he wrote Keane's first book, but I didn't know he was a professional footballer himself. I'm ashamed by this, but feel a bit better now it's off my chest.I believe Eamon Dunphy wrote his own books - I can't think of anyone else.

He played for Millwall. He wrote a chapter that was included in an award winning sports compilation book. The selected piece was about youth players who don't make it. He exposed the cruelty and the utter bleakness of it all.I knew he wrote Keane's first book, but I didn't know he was a professional footballer himself.

I've noticed that every time I replace the word "our" in your posts with the word "Woolwich", they make much more sense.

Can you change your user name? You're actually making me hate Denmark. And that really isn't fair.Dreading next season tbh. Losing home advantage, squad has gone backwards with Walker leaving and all our direct rivals have improved a lot
I imagine you have a Jack Wilshere neck tattoo.What does Wilshere's skin colour have to do with anything, getting a bit racist there tbh
John, you get a lot of stick. But I think you're a great poster because I know all of your opinions are based in a deep love of the club. But that The Dane guy is a piece of shit. And he's a troll. There is no way he is Spurs. None.I think he is Spurs actually. I'm sure that he at least knows we didn't play Chelsea in last season's FA cup final. And our last semi final wasn't donkeys years ago. But hey, who are we to decide who is and who isn't a worthy Spurs fan, eh.
I think he would be a good signing, but central midfield is one of the few positions where we don't really need anyone. Dembele, Wanyama, Dier, Winks, Onomah along with Dele and Eriksen who can both play deeper if need is enough.Anyone think we should be after Renato Sanches? Seems a perfect player for poch to develop, not overly expensive in the current market. They're talking 35m. Massive potential
We should letAntonio Conte questions Tottenham's Premier League title ambitions
Mischievous and a definite worry.
Our expectations are to move into a new home in the next 18 months and develope an academy of talent that have an emotional attachment to the club.We should letsammyspurs answer this, what are totnum's expectations?
Why is a manager of a club in debt to a Russian to the tune of some £2bn commenting on how a club with £0 debt should spend its money?
Not sure why anyone is worried buy that fake freak.....if he thought our ambitions were questionable, why question them?
Might as well talk about Stoke if he's not concerned by us
A bit dramatic but it would be very interesting.Conte, Mourinho, the press are all worried we are going to win it without spending a penny.
It would make a mockery of their careers as coaches and ruin the transfer window for the press forever.
City had problems with old not good enough players at RB and LB positions, they addressed the problem by getting rid and buying the best with what money can buy. Is that a problem? There is no guarantee in anything in life let alone football but they have done the best to deal with the issue because money is not problem for them.But there are no guarantees. What are all these Monaco lads going to look like when they actually have to turn it on for a full season and aren't playing complete fucking dross of lower Ligue 1. This automatic assumption that they have strengthened doesn't stick. They've thrown money at the problem so it SHOULD stick but again, it's no guarantee, their CBs are a problem, they now have completely new players either side AND in front of them and they're meant to gel in time to mount a challenge?
By that logic, throwing £100m at a problem, including buying a 20+ striker in his prime from Spain should mean goals and success right? right?
:soldadowatch:
Let's just see who ends up where, because unless they take the league and finally stop being a joke in CL their spending is a joke, not strength.
No, we gone have a signing on page 666.
