What do we know about football? Well we know that, whilst we might come across as arrogant, it''s only cos we constantly crave success. we want the best, we demand the best, and when we have to put up week after week with the shite that players like Doc produces, whilst paying the extortionate fees that we do, then we have every right to be pissed off. FINALLY, however, we have a decent management in place. We have a new DOF, a new Manager, two new first team coaches, a new medical staff and seven new first team players. We are about to sign Nice RB Noe Pamarot to replace Carr, Michael Carrick as back up CM and Kily Gonzalez on a season''s loan to solve our LW problem. We have a top strike force of Defoe, Keane and Kanoute. We have a host of young british and irish players and propects... King, Gardner, Robinson, Defoe, Davis, Davies, Keane, Ricketts. We''ve cleared out some shite... Anderton, Poyet, Ziege, Postiga, Doc. We''ve still got some left... Bunje, Richards, Redknapp, Jackson. But all in all, this season (i know it''s an old Spurs cliche) looks more promising than anything since the 1995 Klinsmann and Sheringham era. And whilst you slate Spurs fans, we''ve been loyal throughout the last 15 years of rubbish. We''ve stuck by the club no matter what. And when a small portion of the crowd boo Doherty in a pre-season friendly against Cagliari (not that I agree with it), I don''t think it gives you lot the right to slag us off and call us arrogant fans who know nothing. Our club is aiming for Europe, you''re aiming to stay up. Good luck to you, but the difference is there for all to see. That and the fact that you just paid us nearly a million quid for an irish donkey.

Hi Guys Am sorry to tell you this, but I''m afraid Doc really is a bad player. He''s not good enough for the Premiership. No question about it. And here''s why... In 2000, David Pleat (yawn) bought Doc from Luton (Pleat''s old team, mates with chairman etc.) for £1mill. We were told he would come in and challenge for a place alongside Campbell. So in came Doc on the right of a back three and he played ok. He gave his all, he was good in the air (compared to Chris Perry, our only other cb, all 5ft2 of him) and he was young, which we liked cos our average age was about 45. He played out the season, in and out the team, looked promising, and then scored two important goals, one against the Hammers in the League Cup QF and one against Arsenal in the FA Semi. So suddenly everyone loved him (as is the way in football). But then in October of the next season he broke his leg and was out for almost a year. Since then, he''s been - and there''s no getting away from it - rubbish. It wasn''t until pre-season that he was booed (I know, I''m a regular at the Lane) and it was only in one match, but in that match, Doc managed to be out of position twice in two minutes and we lost the game 2-1 having been 1-0 up. It''s that kind of ridiculous lapses in concentration that frustrate fans so much. He looks a prem def. Big, strong, good in the air, puts his body on the line. And for half of every game, you think "yeah, he''s doing alright today" and then suddenly he''ll go and muck up and back pass, or fall over, or whatever, and you''ve conceded a goal. And then he''ll shout at everyone around him, so it looks like he''s focused on the game. He''s rubbish guys, not what you need at all. God help you this season. Oh and when Spurs were at their lowest point, under Hoddle 18 months ago, Sheringham and Doc were up front together. And he''s def not a striker. Prob the worst touch for a forward in the history of prem football. If you gonna play him anywhere, and I pity you if Worthington does, then at least play him in defence. God help you all.
