The league season has 37 games to go sunshine
You don't really expect to win anything do you?
Disappearing act? The league season has 37 games to go sunshine
I must have posted on here at least 10 times since the Man. Utd game ... although I appreciate that this match was such a long time ago
Some of you muppets are so desperate to try and point score at every turn ... don't you ever find it embarassing?
I'd be pretty embarrassed with over 5000 posts on a Spurs forum tbh.
Especially if I went missing every time they beat us.
Yep.
I have commented plenty of times on games that Spurs have lost, including most of the games against Man, Utd.
But if you're expecting an in-depth analysis from me on each occasion, then sadly you'll be disappointed.
Well if you went missing every time they beat us, it'd be pretty easy to see how you racked up 5000 posts.
So you haven't predicted that Modric will be sold this summer?
To be fair to Glaston if I was a Spurs fan I'd not have much to discuss when they play against United. Easy pickings every year.
Clearly you dislike the fact that a few non-United fans are given the scope to post on here.
Take it it to Mods ... I guess.
I thought it was a distinct possibility, and still haven't ruled it out.
But at this point, I'd much rather he stays at Spurs.
It does seem a bit of a waste of his career, but rather that than have him playing for Chelsea.
Au contraire.
They should post more.
Especially when we've just played their teams.
Stupid not to have sold IMHO.
Alternatively, give the lad a pay rise and he'll kiss the badge again.
Then this, to reflect back your earlier comment, is "what the feck I was talking about".
You're braindead if you think I'd be happy if Modric moved to Chelsea tomorrow.
Could explain the lack of Wigan fans...
Whether he stays or goes we can be assured that there are some twists to come yet.
Besides, in January seven days from the closing of the window or even three, Chelsea were nowhere near to getting Torres and Liverpool were nowhere near willing to sell. It wasn't until the 31st itself that it became clear that it would likely happen.

That's not the point .. and you know it.
You have chosen to take issue with me, in a Modric transfer thread, ostensibly because I had apparently not commented on the recent Spurs match with Man. Utd ... but more transparently because I have failed to laud praise on the "magnificent" Man. Utd and to lambast "shit" Spurs for losing the game.
Your attitude is all a bit pathetic tbh.
PS. In fact I did comment on the game in question, in another thread. But I wouldn't bother looking it up if I were you ... because what you'll find won't stroke your Man. Utd ego sufficiently.
I see the vision of Chelski's key transfer ambitions slowly twisting in the wind ... as the tumbleweeds blow across the wastelands.
Chelsea ponder final bid for midfielder Luka Modric
08:50 AM Aug 26, 2011
LONDON - Chelsea are considering a bid of £40 million (S$78.7 million) for Luka Modric to finally persuade Tottenham Hotspur to sell the midfielder.
Modric held a two-hour meeting yesterday with Spurs chairman Daniel Levy and emphatically restated his desire not to play for the club again.
Although Levy again stressed he would not enter into negotiations over a sale, it is understood there may be a price that he would consider given Modric will not change his mind.
Chelsea have offered £22 million, then £27 million and - last Sunday - £30 million for Modric and a vastly improved final bid of £40?million might just be enough to persuade Spurs to sell.
It may well be that Levy hopes to receive other offers for Modric - there has been interest from Manchester United - although the Croatian has made it plain he would prefer to stay in London.
However Tottenham manager Harry Redknapp believes the Modric transfer issue was closed.
He insisted: "He'll be playing on Sunday for sure. We want him to stay and he will stay. I'm sure he'll be great again this year."
Chelsea will have to decide quickly whether to keep pushing for Modric or turn to their other candidate to fill the central midfield gap that Villa-Boas believes exists in his squad - another Porto player, Joao Moutinho. THE DAILY TELEGRAPH
I hope he is forced to stay with Spuds, and has a shit season.
'Arry, eh?
Wow, I'd be very surprised if £40m didn't get Modric.
£85,000 per week in an attempt to keep the player for another season. It represents a rise of £20,000 per week on the six-year deal that the Croat signed last summer.
but everyone was convinced he was he was on 40k/week :/
anyway. Chelsea have already spent ~150m since Jan. 40m more would be hilarious

Starts today for Spurs.
Intriguing...
I've always felt £40-45m would do it
I don't see Chelsea bidding that much today
Is he likely to be involved today
Modric is playing a fecking masterful game today. Too bad Spurs strikers are fecking shite.

They need to let him go, get the money and sign someone in the next three days.

they are about to sign parker and diarra supposedly but neither are an upgrade to modric though.
Whose fault is it that they have not signed anyone over the last couple of months? It also looks like VDV is out for several weeks due to a hamstring tear.
To be honest Redknapp wants to stop being a media whore.These things should be kept in house.
Yep, it's Harry's biggest flaw.
That or the fact he looks like Droopy in a suit.
If they can get £40m for him, they should sell. With what Redknapp said about him asking not to play it looks as if his heart isn't in it. Probably time to move on.
Why would any team who aren't Arsenal want a player with an attitude as shite as that?
40m for Modric is a massive waste of money. He's worth 25m tops. Granted when Chelsea, City, Barca ad Real are destroying the transfer market that's probably what it takes to get him. Assuming one of those clubs does bid.
You don't think some of our players did similar things to try to force a move to us?
He should have been moved on weeks ago.
Harry Redknapp tells Sky Sports News he is 'one million per cent' certain Luka Modric will not make a Deadline Day move away from White Hart Lane.
