SimplySpurfect Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 Spurs suck! Gomes is the worst goalkeeper in the league! King, Lennon and Defoe are overrated! Dawson is shocking! Spurs fans are deluded! Spurs are a mid table team at best! Redknapp is a sour faced clearing in the woods! Just bringing the thread back on topic. Ahhhh, so that's what "clearing in the woods" means. It's a word filter for the T word. I thought it was a weird brummie phrase or something.

leviramsey Posted March 3, 2010 VT Supporter Share Posted March 3, 2010 wikipedia The word may originate from Old Norse þveit meaning cut, slit, or forest clearing. The symmetry is there, I suppose, though with all the clear-cutting one might not notice the clearing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chindie Posted March 4, 2010 VT Supporter Share Posted March 4, 2010 I've just noticed that the last time Spurs won a league title is the year after Burnely last won one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voinjama Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 I hate that clearing in the woods Crouch, but his international record is pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted March 4, 2010 VT Supporter Share Posted March 4, 2010 Yup. It helps that he normally plays against the lesser teams though. DOn't 4 of his goals come from a a game against Jamaica? Still an impressive record though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wainy316 Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 What is there to hate about Peter Crouch apart from who he plays for? He's one of the the few blokes with any character left in the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrentVilla Posted March 4, 2010 Moderator Share Posted March 4, 2010 I agree, other than playing for that club and manager I can't think of a single reason to dislike him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted March 4, 2010 VT Supporter Share Posted March 4, 2010 Even when Crouch plays a shit game, he's so gangly and hilarious I can't help but let him off. I've felt like that since he played for us. His injury time winner at the Riverside when we were down to 10 men is still one of the best moments I can remember. Don't really know why (possibly because I met him in Bambu that night) but I just thought it was brilliant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Rev Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 I think the great thing about that was the fact that Middlesbrough played that shitty song after they scored their goal. Singing it back to them after Crouch scored at the death... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jez Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 Crouch always comes across as a nice bloke. A complete contrast to someone like Terry or Bellamy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrentVilla Posted March 4, 2010 Moderator Share Posted March 4, 2010 The thing with him is he doesn't take himself to seriously, how can you hate a guy who when asked what he would be if he wasn't a footballer answers "a virgin probably". Nah plenty of knobhead footballers out there but at this moment in time I have Crouch down as one of the good guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimplySpurfect Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 He's always come across as a very nice, reasonably intelligent guy. Shit footballer and an ugly git though. But he gets paid about £40k a week and takes Abbey Clancey to bed every night so he probably doesn't care what I think. The bastard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think he's a shit footballer, although i do get annoyed when he puts his hand on his head whenever someone nearly connects with the ball or it goes wide.

During the 2006 World Cup, I was reading some newspaper that had pictures of the England players and my dad who isn't in to football at all but does know little bits asked me "Which one is Crouch?" and there happened to be some kind of promotional picture of Crouch and Owen together so I pointed him out and said "That's Crouch" and my dad said "Oh... I've seen this picture before, I thought he (points at Owen) was just having his picture taken with some retarded kid" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyh29 Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 his bird leaves near me in Weybridge so i often see him filling his car up with petrol ..always says hello ,probably thinks i'm a stalker as we sem to be filling up at the same time quite often which makes me feel bad cause i've always slagged him ..maybe i just don't like forwards :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaChris Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 They're going to win the FA cup imo. Anyone got the best odds for this regrettable event? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimplySpurfect Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 They're going to win the FA cup imo. Anyone got the best odds for this regrettable event? It's probably our best shot at a successful season now, I feel. With King, Woodgate, Lennon, Jenas, Huddlestone and possibly Defoe all injured, plus the stupid amount of squad members we have out on loan, it doesn't look like the squad is strong enough to maintain good enough form to finish 4th. And if Palacios, Bale or Gomes get injured, we'd do well to finish 6th. So we may have to adjust our goals this season and go all out for the FA Cup. But then, if I was offered being fourth for a large chunk of the season and challenging for the whole season as well as winning the FA Cup, I'd have taken it quite happily.

SimplySpurfect Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 Now that I've said that, we're gonna lose to Fulham and Palacios and Bale are gonna injure each other in some bizarre full throttle collision that keeps them out for the season. And Gomes will trip over his nose and break his ankle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
