Spurs: deja vu?

After a 100% winning spree pre-season, once again Spurs crack up when it comes down to real business. It's like deja vu; last season all over again when we won just one game in the first six played. So far, we've lost against Middlesbrough (away 2-1) and Sunderland (at home 1-2). Thank God we haven't got Newcastle next coz we clearly don't like playing the Geordies! I was at the Lane on Saturday to watch the lads fail miserably against a very average side. Three of the Spurs side signed for Sunderland in the transfer window: Chimbonda, Tainio and Malbranque. Of those, only Steed played, and he was applauded by the Spurs fans I'm pleased to say. I was sorry to see him leave the club after having such a great season for us.

What I want to know is, how is it that whatever players we have and whoever the manager is, we always play the same way? The style never changes. I feel aggrieved that the ticket prices have increased YET AGAIN when other clubs' stay static, and I'm forced to watch a load of shite and listen to them being booed off the pitch.

I am also furious with a certain Mr Berbatov for his behaviour. He's like a baby spitting his dummy out of the pram. I just wish he'd leave now so we can all move on. He's done himself no favours at all because if he wants to leave the club so badly, no-one is gonna be interested in a sulky puss who doesn't know how lucky he is. I read in the Mail today how the club are fed up with him but are still looking for a £30m transfer fee. If it doesn't come and Mitta doesn't sort himself out, he will be forced to 'rot' in the reserves. I think he is more likely to chuck football in than do that but he needs to learn his lesson. I feel bad saying all this because he has been my all time favourite Spurs player who I have hero worshipped for the past two years. However, I'm not going to be a hypocrite because if it was any other player, I would be telling it how it is.

After Keano leaving, it's all been a bit of a downer and we have Chelsea away next game. Yippee! (not).
