I actually got up really early to watch that. I think it was one of the very rare occasions they actually showed a live Division 1 game on UK TV, let alone Aussie TV, let alone free-to-air. Booya.


I'm pretty sure a lot in here were in nappies or still cooking in mummy's tummy that year.....
I too remember it well, i got up with my dad for it. The funny headstand thing after he scores always stuck in my mind.

For someone who was so hated he has done really well for himself and what I've seen of his analysis he is spot on. Pool fans have turned to like him even after 'that' incident.

What I don't understand is that he is signed with the FA but will still be an analyst on tv. Surely he won't be able to rip into the likes of terry and lamps anymore. Pity.

We will recover from this debacle. Harry ****ing Redknapp has a lot to answer for for putting us in this position. Utter, utter twat.

Spurs had a couple of top 6 seasons before 'arry arrived. Think they won the league cup before he got there as well.

Sif believe the hype.. he's an average manager (40.82% winning record with over 100 more losses than draws). The $$$ at Tottenham make him look better than he is.

no doubt he is an average manager but spurs fans should still be grateful they have him. when ramos got the sack spurs were in the relegation zone and martin jol before him never got them into the champions league. 'arry did.

one brief appearance in the champions league and they think they can get mourinho in as manager

Yeah thats sweet but if you're going to be pushing for UCL places regularly, you can't expect to consistently get there with a manager like Redknapp. He got them to the Champions League but he also blew it this season. Guess his recklessness works both for and against him.

this is the first time a team has ever finished in the top 4 and not made the champions league so it's a bit harsh to say it's all his fault. he finished in the top 4, the rest was out of his hands.

It's not all his fault. He did play a large part though. They had a good advantage and blew it. Shouldn't have even been in that situation.

Either way, my point is that he isn't the whole reason Spurs are pushing for top 4. They weren't too far off a couple of times before him anyway.

Absolute bollocks, that's what he tells people with his 2 points from 8 games line but it's absolutely not true. Fair play we weren't doing well under Ramos (finished 11th the year before Harry took over) but the two previous years under MJ we had consequetive finishes at 5th place with a much worse team. Ramos had lost the dressing room but anyone taking over from him would have done just as well as Harry did that year.

We had 3rd place sown up and as soon as the England job came up he decided he didn't give a fuck, in fact didn't even leave his seat during games. Added to the fact that the **** can't rotate and ostracises all our squad players (Pienaar, Corluka etc) we end up with a bunch of players absolutely on their bootstraps by the end of every season. We then have a must win game against Villa, Arsenal having fucked things up themselves, and drawing 1-1, desperate for the win he brings on noted goalscorer Scott Parker. Lunacy.

That's only a small subset of the issues under his management but essentially what I'm saying is we've played well for the last couple of years in spite of Harry, not because of him.

This could very well be an absolute disaster for us. We may bounce back but if we lose a bunch of players and fail to sign any of our targets we will be in serious trouble. He doesn't bear all the blame but he's a huge component of it.

Yeah but the point is, forgetting the England fuckup and massive lost lead for a second, by the time of the Villa game we knew this was a possibility and a win was required. He completely ballsed that one up by bringing on a defensive midfielder when we desperately needed a goal. That alone deserves a sacking for gross incompetence

This is true and it's a shit rule really but it hasn't changed overnight, we knew it was a possibility from the start of the season so we can't complain about the rule IMO. We've got no-one to blame but ourselves on this one.

Yeah we fucked it. The players have to take the blame and Harry more so. HE doesn't rotate enough and doesn't trust the squad that he has assembled.

Hopefully he try's to win the Europa next season.

The rule isn't bad. 4 teams from one country is more than enough in the CL. There's no point having a CL if you're just going to have 15 teams from England, Spain and Italy alone.

You can't rotate, because you have crap as backup, same with us.
What will you do next year without modric and bale ? Both have to be certainties to leave, but I guess you'll have money. Just not being able to attract the right players
