Happy St. Totteringham's Day

Is this the only way Spurs can qualify for the Champions League? Europa League winners to be awarded spot in Euro elite.

UEFA will announce on Friday that the winners of the Europa League will be awarded a place in the Champions League from 2015.

The move is designed to boost the profile of European football's second-rate tournament which was won by Chelsea earlier this month.

Think it's a good idea, to be honest. The Europa League is ridiculously dull, and very few top teams seem to bother taking it seriously

A CL place will surely do the trick.

Also, good to see it won't effect our 4th place trophy either!

The CL and EL will be merged into one European super competition soon enough, I'm sure of it. Platini has already said he wants to double it to 64 teams right?

Good idea in principle but I think the teams that don't take it seriously either feel they have next to no chance of winning it or feel it's beneath them because they're used to CL and have probably qualified for it domestically anyway.

Just remembered what my Arsenal supporting mate said the day of the NLD in March...he reckoned that beating Arsenal would damage Totts hopes of the VT because they would feel by beating Arsenal they had already achieved it. Maybe he was correct , but nearly a week on it feels so good.

This 'combined team' nonsense has been doing the rounds for quite a few years now yet we always score more, concede fewer and finish ahead of them.

So I have it 7-4 to us.

I make that 6-5

[QuartzGooner]

Who's playing up front Quartz? Think I'd take Defoe over Giroud personally. Strange one at right-back because Sagna is head and shoulder above Walker but I'm reticent to pick Sagna over anybody the way he's played the last few months, but Walker is incapable of defending and actually apart from being very fast is pretty cack going forward too.

Used to think Dawson was actually a good centre-half and a future England regular but since he had that long-term lay-off he's struggled for form (and a place in the team) - if Kaboul was fit he wouldn't have been first choice.

I think Sandro offers a physical presence that Arteta does not.
Also he seems to be more proactive, less reactive.

But I think we are not seeing the "real" Arteta, that he is playing under orders for strict positional discipline, so it is hard to judge between the two.


NB123

I rate Defoe as a player who can make something out of nothing and turn on a sixpence. Always thought he would be useful for us IF we played two up front, a good bench option.
But he seems ill-suited to the loan striker role.
I would stick with Giroud.

Scum w**kers, the gift that just keeps on giving.

Here's one from melted cheese face back in March before the derby at the swamp pit. He gets the prediction right ut read the rest of it without chuckling

He's quite right.

By winning 13 (thirteen) league titles to their two we are trying to emulate them.

By winning 3 doubles (three) to their 1, we are wanting to be like them.

By finishing above them for the last 17 years it proves his theory that they are somehow the major force in world football.

Herbert Chapman played for the Spuds but he forgets (conveniently) to mention that their last manager to win something was a certain George E Graham !! and they have a history (sic) of Gallas, Bentley, Adebayor, Rohan Rickets (who) etc, etc

How's your new 60,000 seater stadium coming along ? How original.
