It looks like the two biggest powers of English and European football over the last few decades,are in decline.

LIVERPOOL F C,we have all seen the goings on at this football club over the past month or so.

There is no way a top 4 finish can be achieved this season or in the future,unless the squad is completely overhauled,

and a new stadim can get the go ahead.

Mid-table is reality for a while,then the rebuilding of the club must start.

MANCHESTER UNITED F C,Not so bad as Liverpool,but they are on exactly the same road.

2014 is when their loans can be recalled,so that is why United are selling world class players,Tevez,Ronaldo and now Rooney.

They replace them with mediocre players.United cannot compete with the big boys.

It looks like,CHELSEA will continue to be strong and compete for all honours,if Abramovich stays.

MANCHESTER CITY,say no more,loads of money,assembling a big strong squad,they will be a big power for the forseeable future

ARSENAL F C ,still owe money for their Stadium,but they are going in the right financial direction,need to strenghten the

squad,they will finish in the top4 in the future seasons.

TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR F C,good young squad,good manager,new Stadium on the way,Club is run on a sound financial plan.Great future.Just a couple of quality signings,and a great future in store.

THE NEW BIG 4.

CHELSEA,MANCHESTER CITY,ARSENAL,TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR.

Spurs big four, your havin a laugh,

Spurs big four, your havin a laugh.

:clapper::clapper::clapper::clapper::clapper::clapper::clapper::clapper::clapper::clapper:

spudfect you cease to amaze me ..at least your consistante

Liverpool will struggle for the next couple of seasons. Will not move to new ground, they will redevelop Anfield instead. A new ground will not be full every week. Man City top 4 ?, no chance. Chelsea, Arsenal, Manc's will finish 4th. 3rd spot will be between Spurs, Villa and, wait for it, Blackpool. Don't knock it but I reckon they will be in europe

Well if your a betting man then most bookies think the top 10 will finish like this.

1.Chelsea

2.Man Utd

3.Arsenal

4.Man City

5.Tottenham Hotspur

6.Liverpool (Yes thats right Liverpool to finish 6th)

7.Aston Villa

8.Newcastle Utd

9.Sunderland

10.Birmingham City

Im sure things will turn out a little different but plenty of food for thought there.

Unbelieveable... Spurs make the top 4 ONCE and we're witnessing a 'power change in the Premiership'??. :rolleyes:

When the 'financial fair play' rules come into affect, then you may well see a power shift in the league?. Le Arse have all but paid off their stadium, that is a FACT. It is also a FACT that when these rules come into play, Le Arse could well be top of the 'financially strong' league. They will be closely followed by Spurs until The Northumberland project is completed, then it will be pretty much neck and neck.

I absolutely fail to comprehend how Manure and Citeh are going to survive when these rules are incorporated?. Utd sold Ronaldo for £80million, yet were still unable to record a profit at the end of the financial year. Madness. Man Citeh have a player wage bill that singlehandedly exceeds their income, how can they survive when a club MUST operate SOLELY within the clubs income?. And before anyone says it, NO THEY CAN'T just get their stupidly wealthy owners to bung a few hundred million into the accounts. ALL clubs MUST provide evidence of all incomings and then operate within them. IF they can't operate within those financial incomings, they cannot play in european competitions. So even less money coming in!!. By the way, income will be deduced as money that comes from gate receipts, TV rights and sponsorship.

These rules will be so bloody good for the game as a whole. How the hell is it fair that Manure can have almost £1billion debt, yet still be able to buy players that cost several millions of pounds?. Same with Liverpoo. Look at 'Le Arse', I can't bloody stand them BUT look at the business model. They were over £500million in debt, but went about their business properly and are now almost debt free, recording record profits every year and are very much close to a return to the very top. For all the rivalry and hatred, Arse and Spurs are the business model that ALL clubs should be following the lead of.

When these rules come in, the clubs that are run the best, shall be the best. Yes those with smaller stadiums (therefore less revenue) will still struggle to get near the top BUT, thanks to the stopping of billionaires playing Championship manager with our clubs, those small clubs will atleast be able to compete on a more level playing field.

So, 'Premier League powershift'?. I really don't think so. Need to concentrate on Spurs learning to beat teams like Wet Spam and Wigan (who were both rock bottom and hadn't won a single game before playing Spurs) and WBA etc first. Just imagine Spurfect, where would Spurs be in the league with those extra 8 points that were dropped against those let's just enjoy the season and the Champions League adventure . Afterall, we're now very close to the stage where it can be over in 1 game.

To be quite honest the figures that you talk about are frightening when you think what is going on elsewhere in the world it really is

I thought that my team were in trouble being £100 million in debt (And we have won all with that) but on a positive side and I will be honest in saying I do not particularly like our chairmen but one thing is for sure, They have a 5 year plan to clear the debt and put us in the black again which I believe they will do just as they did with Birmingham City which as a supporter is a very good thing

I don't much like the porn barons you've got in charge either mate. However, we're all football supporters at the end of the day and to see a club with the history of West Ham 'go under' would be a bloody sad thing for the game. Surely none of us want to be seeing clubs go out of business?. Too many have already...

My thoughts exactly fella.

I thought about the Portsmouth situation the other day and it seems they were a lot closer to going out of business than we were but thankfully they were saved and that’s great news for all involved.

The thing that struck me about them though was that chap I have seen on TV with all the tattoos and body piercing, He certainly seems to love his football club and could you imagine what he would have done if they had gone to the dogs?

I’m not sure what the charge is for removing tattoos nowadays but it would have cost him a tidy sum :o

Coopsie,you worry me,as a so-called Spurs supporter.

Apparently,you are a forum legend.I can see why.Your friends with the clique.

All well and good.

Since your heroic return from the wilderness ,all you have done is slag a fellow Yid,off in front your friends.

Well done.

Never heard so much negative s---,in my life.

I have been through the rough times,and I am enjoying every single second,of what is happening at the moment.

If you were at the Lane ,on Tuesday,to actually see Yids crying with excitment,hugging people ,you have never seen before,

pure adrenalin pumping,with joy.All Yids know, it will end,but what a ride ,we are having.

Then for you to come on here,and quote;we are just one game away from going out.

Classic.

Carry on pouring cold water on everything,because I will certainly not.

TTID.

spurfect, please don't mistake negativity for realism. I was as stoked as you on Tuesday night, much like after the games against Chel$ki, Le'Arse and Citeh at the end of last season :thumbsup: . However, in my opinion, too many people are getting carried away and allowing the excellent results I've just mentioned, cover up the glaring inconsistencies of our manager. Weirdly ignoring the likes of Kranjcar and Dos Santos, yet selecting Keane, Jenas, Palacios??. VDV missing against Inter away, perfect for Niko to stake a claim, where is he??. Starting Keane against United AND Jenas??.

I'm not attacking you or shooting you down spursex. I just think that we are in no position to shout from the rooftops, especially about a powershift. However, I make that statement with the word 'YET' screaming in my mind. We are most definately close to something VERY special, unfortunately we've been close before and know how that's ended for us. So hopefully you now understand my stance and why I suggested a little humility. Fair comment??

Oh and, COYS

Coopsie, when do these 'financial fair play rules' come into affect? because my team Chelsea could struggle big time with those rules.

bluestorm, I believe they are already being slowly incorporated (allowing clubs the time to understand them and attempt to get their club inline with them) but will become fully effective the season after next. However, I'm fairly certain that Mr Abramovich has wiped off all your debt and Mr Kenyon (who was part of the panel that came up with the rules) has been fully preparing your club for these restrictions. I believe that's why you signed the likes of Sturridge and the young keeper (name fails me?). Both homegrown and on lesser contract than superstars.

This is hard for me to do,but Im not going to let the clique,say he only come on here and shouts his mouth off when Spurs win.

Yesterday was an utter disaster.I just could not see that happening.1st half was diabolical.

I am a "ARRY" fan,and Im well aware what he has done for Tottenham Hotspur.

But for once,I wish he would be honest,and admit,HE got it wrong.

Last week,he could'nt get on T.V.quick enough,to tell everyone what a clown,Clattenberg was.

Yesterday's excuse was we cannot play 4-4-2,because we are as open as a barn door.

"Arry" we played 4-4-2 all last season,and had our best season ,finishing fourth.

YOU decided to play 4-5-1.It works when you select the right team.

Here are some questions that I would like to ask.

Why pick,Krancjar,Sandro and Palacios,and leave Huddlestone and Jenas on the bench.?

When Aaron Lennon was injured last season,David Bentley replaced him ,like for like,why was he left on the bench.?

Bentley,done more in 10mins ,than Krancjar,done in the whole game.

What did Cudicini do wrong Tuesday night,to be dropped.?

Last but not least,why the hell did he start with Crouch again,Pavlynchenko,has got the best strike rate of goals/mins on the pitch,than any other player at the Club.?He just dont give him games.

Oh well rant over,4 out of our next 5 games are home,the away game is,Arsenal.So 5 out of 5 victories,is on the cards,providing,Arry picks the best eleven.COYS.

spursex - Why would any manager publicly say "Niko is a leftsided player, how can I get him in when Bale and Luka are performing so well", then play him on the right??. FFS he played him there last season and it was a bloody disaster. Why would you take 3 players who have barely played any footy this season (Pal, Sandro, Niko) and put them all in the same starting line-up?. Where the heck will any sharpness, cohesion or understanding come from?. Why play Sandro AND Palacios, when Palacios has been awful for a very long time?. Basically Harry 'Twitch' Redknapp made his selection based upon a decision that we couldn't win the game.

The fact is, Kranjcar couldn't be expected to be that superb in his favoured position, let alont the position he was selected in. The guy has barely kicked a ball for Spurs since the start of the season, yet is supposed to stake his claim for a place in the team when being as far from 'match fit' or 'match sharp' as could be AND be out of position??. Unbelievable selection, unbelievable tactics and unbelievably limited management AGAIN.

It was obvious that we would lose yesterday. That isn't me giving it the big "I told you so". That's just me not being blinded by a manager that, although he provided us with our highest league finish for a very long time, is absolutely unable to change his way of thinking, his way of selecting a team and his inability to beat teams that are considered 'not so well off' as we are. Only need to look at West Ham, Wigan, WBA and Bolton this season and, Hull, Wolves, Stoke etc last season. Limitations are going to cost us so badly.

It is not a coincidence that, despite his millions of years of management, we are the first so called 'big club' that he's managed. When he was appointed our manager, I openly stated on here that he was the perfect guy to take us from our 2 point predicament BUT would be absolutely out of his depth in the long term. Forget the 4th place finish. The reality is that the 4th spot should have been well and truly sewn up long before we beat Man Citeh in the penultimate game of last season. Crouch has played in EVERY premier league game this season and has amassed an unbelievable ZERO goals, whilst Pav the outcast continues to come off the bench and do what a striker is actually supposed to do, put the ball in the back of the bloody net..

Mark my words, you should (as I said the other day) enjoy this Champions League adventure because, as long as the old dog continues to prove correct the theory that he can't be taught new tricks, our club wont be having such an adventure for a while. Mores the pity :(

5 out of 5 victories at home, you are Aving a laff. You have to be consistant to win 5 games on trot at Home, you could not beat Wolves and they are in the bottom 3. You are blowing your trumpet about beating the European Champions, but you could not beat the Manc's and now Bolton. Welcome to the real world of football, enjoy the Champion's League experience because you will not be in it next season

not very gratefull there coopsie tuttut...not a very nice trait :(

Harry Redknapp has done a brilliant job for you boys and here you are mocking his decisions....

he obviously by no choice of his own has to do a juggling act considering they are now doing very well in the champions league so results like this will happen

just feel you are biting the hand that feeds you..

Back to topic, if this is a change of power within the Premier League then long may it continue! United 2nd(until the City game)behind an awesome and indestructable Chelsea side and they are playing really badly yet only two points behind and so far unbeaten, and all without Rooney who is sampling the delights of Nikes ladies of the night, well the exchange rate is pretty good at the moment!!. Meanwhile L*******l and rocking the world in mid table and Arsenal are more and more worried about timewasting than their own tactics, losing at home again. The blind Frenchman obviously prefers playing away from home these days. :yahoo:

Change of power? Not quite yet, it will still be the same two fighting it out come April/May.

Howard Webb.

Worlds greatest referee.

Blatant penalty,with Bentley.

Terrible tackle on Modric,by Cattermole.

so you gloat like you won the league if you win a game...or sulk like youve just been robbed if you loose a game ;)

Posted

Bentley was already going down before contact was made, no penalty. If Ronaldo did that the world would be in uproar. Cattermole, in my personal opinion he took the ball. No foul. I have made and received the same type of tackle, sometimes your foot stays through the ball and everyone praises what a good tackle it was, other times it goes slightly over and you take the man too, not as good of a tackle. A bit like when you swing your your leg or elbow at an opponent. Sometimes you connect with the opponent and should be banned but other times you get off completely, just ask last nights Tottenham captain Tom Huddlestone!

Spurs drew last night because the supply was poor to the poor frontmen used. Bale and Bentley kept quiet all night, Bale worth 50million, how much for Onouha, Neville or Raphael? A complete balls up by Pompey and Arsenal rejects also contributed to the result. Without doubt Spurs deserved the win but try not blame one ref and look at the players, manager and 78 coaches at the club!

Do not have to crawl out of the woodwork to give you stick, obviously you cannot find the hole you came out of. You better find it soon because I think a lot more will be coming your way tonight after the results.

On a final note, watching your defence concede that goal last night reminded me so much of the keystone kops films I used to watch, but your lot was just as funny.

Enjoy the rest of the season in mid table

Cant see them anywhere in that League.

Well my guess is that with 11 Premiership titles under there belts it would be Manchester Utd that would have to be the biggest premier league club in their own right, Followed by Chelsea and Arsenal with 3 a piece and although Blackburn did win it i would not call them a big club.

For all other clubs in the league im affraid to say that your just playing at being so called champions, The time will come when there will be a new name on the Premiership trophy but im affraid it will not be this season or the next so for all you so called big clubs (That does not include West Ham) just have a break from the bickering because none of you right now are good enough to even think about a challange on the top 3 and the best your all going to get is top 4 every whip and flip.

As for the comments about people coming out of the woodwork? Some of us have been posting on here for some time now and we do not just come out of the woodwork when the going is good and i for one will admit that this season my team (You all know who they are) are in one word (Shit) but that is all part of being a football fan is it not? Support your team through the good times and the bad.

You can all say what you want about the Hammers and beleive me i am under no illusions about the state of the club and the position we are in but one thing will remain the same, I will support them until my time is up simples.

I for one would not knock the Hammers. Over the years they have been one of the best teams for playing attractive football. Unfortunately, pretty football does not win trophys. Past players have come through the youth system and more recently the academy, but no one can knock them for playing the style of football that West Ham and neutrel supporters enjoy.

They maybe at the bottom, but I do hope they move up the table to secure their Premiership status.

Good Luck to the Hammers

As a hammers fan I appreciate your nice comment about my team and believe you me fella I have had many a sleepless night wondering what could have been if we had kept hold of Harry as manager and the vast amount of talent he had at his disposal :(

I don’t care what people say he knew his stuff but unfortunately all our board were interested in was the money, If only they could have worked out that you have to speculate to accumulate things could have been so different but as it is teams like Man Utd, Chelsea, Tottenham, Liverpool and many others have benefited from the greedy bastards at the top :angry2:

Your right about one thing though and that is we have always been known for our style of play and yes it does not win trophies but as I have said many times before as a fan I would rather see people playing decent football and giving it a go than just thinking about the cash and how much they can get although in recent years this has also crept into the ranks at Upton Park and Dyer is a prime example of that £80K+ a week and he has hardly played that many games :angry2:

The funny thing is though that although our first team are currently bottom of the Premier league our ladies team are currently top of there league F.A Tesco Womens Premier League South (Makes you wonder)

Went to the Spurs game yesterday.Very good game.

I was thinking of the difference,between Spurs and Man City.

City play at home v Birmingham,they play 2 holding midfielders,in De Jong and Ya Ya Toure,take Tevez off,and bring on Barry.

Result 0-0.

Spurs midfield consisted of no holding midfielders.Bale,Van Dar Vaart,Modric and Jenas,plus 2 strikers.

Result 4-2.

I know what I would rather watch.

Are City throwing away oppurtunities to gather points through their negativity.?

Posted

take Tevez off,and bring on Barry.

I have to admit i did find that a very strange decision indeed although it was said on MOTD that Tevez was carrying an injury, Not sure myself but he is a class player who can open up most teams in the blink of an eye.

Went up to watch liverpool play West Ham last Saturday, and I must say the Hammers did not play very well at all. The 1st half they were slaughtered and did not have a clue. The 2nd half it was a damage limitation exercise, they brought on 3 subs who did not change the game at all. The impression I got they were not interested, apart from Rob Green who pulled off 2 outstanding saves.I know in my previous thread that I hope they do stay up, but on that performance they will go down and also struggle to get back again. Very sad to see, but I do hope they turn it around otherwise it is going to be a long winter

Mr Grant is definately not the Man for the job

What a cracking game of football.

Liverpool played very well.

But Spurs continue to pull the rabbit out the hat.

Van Der Vaart goes off,along with Kaboul,so Harry cant use the final sub,to change things at 0-1.

The boys just roll their sleeves up and get the 3pts.

If we can just get a few of the injured players back from,Woodgate,King,Dawson,Kaboul,Jenas,Van Der Vaart,Huddlestone,

Bentley,and a couple of new signings soon,their is no reason why we cant mount a Championship challenge.

It really is exciting times at White Hart Lane.

The Premiership is brewing up,into one of the best ever.

their is no reason why we cant mount a Championship challenge.

Im not sure if you realised what you typed there, (Championship challenge?) :clapper:

As much as i would love to see Tottenham making it big in the champioship i fear i could have some wait for that, I do however think you meant to say PREMIERSHIP CHALLENGE?

I know that is being a little picky but hey whats a bit of banter between London rivals.

You are right though your team are playing some good stuff right now and your all having a decent season, I have always said that despite what people may say about him Redknapp is a very good manager and that is something that West Ham did not see although most of the fans could.

Bloody hell,how much help do you bin-dippers want.?

We give you a goal start.

Lose our best two players,Van Der Vaart and Kaboul.

Miss a penalty.

Still,Woy's pile of rubbish cant win.

Big difference with Spurs,is when we lose players,we got quality to come in.

Liverpool,lose Gerrard,now Carraghar,and with Torres not intrested,you will need more than a strong finish.

Mid table,Im afraid,get used to it.
