15th May 2007 - Season
2006/2007, a season to remember This season has been
erratic, but in the end saw The Spurs finish in fifth place and another European
tour! When I think back, there were times that I thought that we would not
achieve Some games really stand
out in this season. The drubbing at home by the mancs,
the 4-3 win against the irons, beating Chelsea, but what I also remember is
the fact that we lost against Sheffield Utd, drew at Wigan and Watford. Two
of those teams went down and The Fa cup draw made my blood boil. The Fa
wanted Opinions is one of the
aspects of football that I enjoy, and technology would take some of that
away, but it cannot take away fans booing a player (s) especially when they
wear a spurs shirt. How can booing a player help him or the team? At the end
of the game or at half time maybe, but during the course of the game, then
no. The fans can be the twelfth man and can influence the game. However, when a player takes his shirt off
and throws it to the ground, then for me that is it. Teddy, Ethrington and Ghaly, did just that. Teddy and Etherington
did not play again and Ghaly has come out and explained his actions, and to
be fair it was very brave of him to come out and do the lap of honour. My
view is that he goes to another club. Jol has done a great
job. At last I don’t have to listen to Gerry Francis banging on about
this stat and that stat which said he was a good manager. There were calls
for Jol to go, but all teams go through a sticky patch and it is the way a
manager and team come through it which will set them apart. Jol and the team
came through it with flying colours. All Jol needs to do is either win a
piece of silverware or get us into the promised land of champions league
football and I can see that coming. With the 2012 games
approaching and Wembley completed, expanding The Lane or even moving came to
the fore once again. When you look at the top clubs and Arsenal, you can see
a pattern emerging. Mancs 76k, Arse 60k, Chelski
44k and the Scousers looking to move to a new 60k ground capacity. If we do
leave it any longer, than the gap will become bigger. Chelski don’t
have to move as they are bankrolled. I do think that the club will end up
increasing the capacity, by either moving or redeveloping The Lane. The
latest that I have heard is that they move the pitch around. That could well
work as the club does own the whole block and most of the Never in the field of
corporate money grabbing have I seen anything like it. Clubs freezing or
reducing admission prices while spurs put theirs up! Ring tones, limited
edition shirts with a limited edition price of £55, (why didn’t they
make it £65 or round it up to £100?) credit cards, insurance etc etc, I might as well have my monthly salary paid direct
to Tottenham Hotspur and miss out the middleman (me). It is a business but do
these people have no shame in how they can fleece the fans? |

My Eyes Have Seen The
Glory and The Cockerel Crows, the last remaining spurs fanzines finally
called it a day. Selling fanzines on the corner of the Paxton and high road,
I met some really passionate fans and I thank them for buying and stopping to
have an exchange of views on our club.
Season 2006/2007 was a
season to remember and next season should be no different and I can’t
wait for the fixtures to be announced. Bring it on! Mario
