give over harry, Spurs have ALWAYS spent money.

I'm sure he gets paid by the word. Imbecile of a man.

Not even read it yet, no time at the mo, but Harry spends all his time trying to promote his own image of how wonderful he is.

Maybe we should recall Adebayor??

they would,nt have adebeyor only for us talk about biting the hand that feeds you.

Aitch may have a few other things on his mind come the day of the game, principally his court case the day after, which strangely he gets a free pass from the tabloids for. Perhaps his loose lips and rent a quote to them grants him such freedom

I'd add that if City needed any extra motivation, all we need do is pop up Arry's interview along with Van Der Vaarts piece in the Telegraph today. In addition The Guardian Sport section has today apparently been replaced by a Spurs Premier League Champions souvenir pull-out - I smell some premature celebration in Norf Landan, that may just leave them looking a little silly come May when the prizes are handed out.

I'm sorry but Is this the same man who ruined, Bournemouth, Portsmouth and Southampton with wreckless spending and doesn't pay his taxes? Really Harry

Good manager despite what everyone says but an epic dickhead.

On form, I'd have them down as real Premier League possibilities. But it's Spurs. They don't have the spine to win the league. They always have been, and always will be, a cup team.

You could say the same about us to be fair.

Oh they can win it, for sure. But the media's love-in with them may work to our advantage.

To recap, we've already had 2 Prem Lge champions this yr - Chelsea when they beat us in Dec as they celebrated it, and Spus who actually won the Pem when they beat Everton on weds.

That said, Spurs pleasingly still have to play at City, At Arsenal, At Chelsea and At Liverpool. Nice.

Harry is very Taxing.

Ha ha ... don't worry his self assessment is due shortly

Read it now. What an absolute twat this bloke is.

I just don't understand how any of these people can be so fucking hypocritical. They're so far up their own fucking arses it's incredible. It's not ok for us to spend more money than Spurs or Utd, but it's ok for them to spend more money than 90 odd other teams. Why is that ?

Ted his part of the red circle, when we batter them he will blurt out a similar load of shite.

As part of our spending, we bought Adebayor, who is now playing at no cost (apart from wages, which are subsidised by us) to them courtesy of our good selves. Presumably they wouldn't mind if we recalled him and they can rely on their strike force that they have assembled from their own youth academy at no cost (i.e Defoe, Pavyluchenko etc).

article here when he left west ham.

He's very clever old Twitchy. Read his recent interview saying about Nasri turning his back on United for the money and now (on SS) he's twisted a bit to say that Nasri waved goodbye to Arsenal for the money. By doing this he's catering for 2 other sets of supporters further building up the anamosity towards us.

Funny though how he manages to talk about other clubs players and finances yet if anyone else does it they are jumped upon ala Mancini with the Johnson tackle. The reason he gets away with it is because he is the ultimate 'Wheeler Dealer', the Arthur Daley of the football world. He's got the gift of the gab and uses it wisely to deflect any attention from what his teams are doing, including money matters.
