harryhotspur is a terrific website with great quotes.

"I would run through brick walls for Spurs." Graham Roberts

"White Hart Lane was always a place where I felt I belonged." David Ginola

tanio, jenas... they are all good central midfielders, but some of them have to take turn to play left midfield.

Pressure on Martin Jol to win trophy

Tottenham manager Martin Jol says that there will be more pressure on him to succeed this season than ever before, but he is confident his side can develop into one of the best in the Premiership.

Jol has transformed the north London club on and off the pitch since he took over the managerial reins from Jacques Santini in November 2004.

The Dutch coach has assembled one of the best young squads in English football and ensured that the club are playing on the European stage once again.

Tottenham last won a major trophy in 1999 (the League Cup) and supporters are anxious to see their side bring some major silverware to White Hart Lane.

The club's directors have shown their trust in Jol by handing him in the region of £39 million to spend on new signings - including the purchase of striker Darren Bent from Charlton for £16.5 million.

Jol knows the expectation which comes with spending so much money and is honest enough to admit he must have another successful year if he is to justify all the hype surrounding the club this summer.

"There will be a bit more pressure because people expect more," he said. "With different players, younger players, it's not always easy. We first have to prove that we can be top-four potential. We've never done that before. It's a bigger step for us than for Arsenal because they're already in the top four.

"The board is very happy with me. I was the only one in the last 25 years to get the team into the top five two years in a row, so they can't complain."

Jol feels that his side could become genuine title contenders over the next few years if all the players fulfil their true potential.

great news folks, great ghaly is back. good grief.

Birmingham boss Steve Bruce today admitted he told Hossam Ghaly to 'clear off' after the midfielder criticised his new team-mates and complained about having to undergo an extra fitness training session.

Bruce was less than impressed with the approach of Ghaly during a double training session at the club's Wast Hills complex yesterday, when he was asked to do extra running and a session with fitness coach Dan Harris due to his lack of pre-season training.

As a result, the manager decided to call off the proposed £3million transfer from Tottenham. Blues had announced the deal on Monday subject to a work permit but until that had been obtained the formal paperwork could not be completed and technically Ghaly was still a Spurs player.

And Bruce has revealed his reasons to the Birmingham Mail: 'His agent left a message and said that he [Ghaly] wasn't happy with the standard of players here. 'I couldn't believe what I was hearing - and I've kept the message on my voicemail.

'When he had his one-to-one session with Dan, he was moaning we 'don't do this, don't do that' at Tottenham, it 'wasn't right' and 'ridiculous'.

Guti is great!

Hey SPURS Bros,

Do you think Curtis Davis from West Brom will be a good signing for Spurs ?

And i'm still concerned that we still have not found a star left winger / midfield player ?

What do you Bros think ?

Cheers !

Lets see....King, Dawson, Kaboul, Rocha, Gardner, Dervitte....Do we need Davies who only played 1 season in the EPL??? I think not.

Haha...good point there, but we still dont have a LMF. I think our last LMF we had was the mighty and very fit Andy Reid. Reto Ziegler has left too, so we do need someone there. We cant afford to play with makeshift LMF. We played Davids, Tainio, Malbranque, Lennon, Murphy there, but we seemed o attack faster on the right. Thats why whenever we counter attack, we seldom see us counter from the left. So I say, buy a LMF, get rid of one or two CMF (Maybe Murphy, Ghali -pls go, dont moan! or Tainio)

Yeah man, LB is a concern. We might field Rocha or Gardner there as both of them played LB at the tail of last season. Or we might bring Chimbo on the left and recall Staltieri to play on the right. But for me, although I prefer to play 4-4-2, I would employ 3 CBs as injury has resticted our selection. So, thats Dawson, Kaboul and Gardner/Rocha as CBs, RWB-Chimbonda, LWB-Lennon (Who else but him?-no choice there), CMF-Fresh Prince Boateng, Hudds/Jenas/Zokora or Malbranque, Keano in the hole and Bent and the count (Dimitar) up front. But I prefer 4-4-2 anytime. Get well soon King and Bale...
