Thread: pre match Q&A stoke (H) 24.10.09

do you think your club will ever have another player as celebrated as the great sir stanley matthews?

Nope but we've had a few other greats in Gordon Banks, Alan Hudson, John Ritchie and Mark Stein. Sir Stan is way out ahead though, and to be honest he's certainly one of the greatest footballers ever (even Pele said so)

do you now see yourselves as an established top flight team who can now push on and maybe challenge for europe?

Not yet, i think normally 3 years should be the mark an established tteam. That said though we are team that no one likes to play at our place and Europe certainly isn't out of reach if we carry on as we are.

what are ur opinions on harry redknapp and his management style?

I don't like the fact that he pretty much bankrupted Portsmouth with high wages and then left and took half the team with him to leave them in further crap. He's a good manager and he's doing well with yourselves.

who do you see as the dangermen for both teams this weekend?

It would have been Defoe had he played but I think Lennon is the major theat - We don't do pace!

For us Ricci (Fuller) is a handful but Tuncay is expected to make his first league start so I hope he is out to make a big impression!

what does rory delap offer to your team besides a torpedo like throw in?

He works hard like everyone else but his throw is his major asset. He can score goals though as you will remember from last year

Do you have any players that you fear losing in the upcoming transfer windows?

Only Shawcross but I think he'll stay because he's happy at the moment.

if you could have 3 players from the spurs squad who would you choose?

Defoe, Lennon and Palacios. We've got a solid defence and I do think Sorro is one of the best keepers in the Prem. Palacios for me is one of the best ball winners in the prem and he always finds a Spurs player with his pass afterwards. Lennon on form is just electrifying and Defoe is one of, if not, the best finsihers in the division and we really need the fox in the box kind of player (but he has got a lot more to his game)

prediction for the match?

If we can keep Lennon quiet for the first half hour we could be ok to hold out and possibly take a chance, so a hopeful 1-1!

Greetings spurs fan...
1) we will never have a player as celebrated as sir stan again. We simply wouldnt be able to keep hold of a talent like his if one came through the ranks.
2) certainly not an established prem club yet. As for europe, your having a laugh, but i do dream of drinking in munichs beerkeller with thousands of stokies, then smashing the krauts on and off the pitch!
3) really like harry redknapp,down to earth,talks sense,a real genuine bloke. He certainly knows his football,spurs have bags of goals in them under harry as far as i can see,personally i hope you break into the top 4 this season.
4)one player i wouldnt like to play against is lennon,im a big fan of his. Im also glad modric is injured as he murdered us last year. Fuller is one player for us who when in the mood looks a real menace.
5) rory works his nuts off,thats it really
6) i fear ryan shawcross will be gone in january, also tuncay who weve hardly seen play yet. A captain of his country must be titsed off sitting on the stoke bench every week.
7) 3 spurs player we'd like...mmmmm... Lennon,modric and keane
prediction. Im hopeful of a 2-2 draw but fear the worst tbh.
