Can Spurs really keep their star striker? They’ve offered him a shiny new contract!
by stresster on June 4th, 2008Although plenty of clubs have shown an interest in Dimitar Berbatov since he (or should that be his agent) declared that his time at White Hart Lane was up, none have been forthcoming in terms of lodging a bid for the Bulgarian striker. Which has obviously come as welcome news to Tottenham Hotspur, who have made sure that the player is only going to leave in the summer if it’s at the right price.
The fabulous read that is the Sofia Echo report that Spurs have offered Berbagol a brand new contract to continue his good work with Robbie Keane, with the forward getting £10k extra in his weekly pay packet if he signs on the dotted line. Fingers crossed Spurs fans…
The prospect of Bulgarian striker Dimitar Berbatov leaving current club Tottenham Hotspur in one of this summer’s blockbuster transfer moves appears increasingly less likely with every passing day.
Despite serving as fodder for numerous transfer gossip column inches in the closing stages of the Premier League season, talk of Berbatov leaving the White Hart Lane club has quieted down, with none of the interested parties apparently putting in a bid for the striker.
Valued at 30 million pounds at one point by head coach Juande Ramos, Tottenham seem to have successfully scared off potential suitors, among them the freshly-crowned European champions Manchester United and Barcelona.
Tottenham fans will certainly be dancing in the street if this one comes off. There’ll be children swaying and records playing if the Bulgarian decides to be part of the Ramos revolution, while he’s bound to get some decent service from Keane and new signing Luka Modric. Go on Dimitar, you know you want to!
We're giving you £10 FREE so show some bollocks and BET NOW!

its only worth him staying if he wants to though.
FabregasISGod - June 4th, 2008 at 9:42 pm
come on…… his attitude sucks……. its clear he doesnt want to stay and tbh i dont think he will
Shelf - June 4th, 2008 at 9:49 pm
You have got your facts wrong.
Our STAR striker is Keano - Berbs is the icing!
COYS
FabregasISGod - June 4th, 2008 at 9:51 pm
keane couldnt hit the floor if he fell oout of bed……..
john - June 4th, 2008 at 9:54 pm
Berbatov is going to sign a new contract and look happy in a spurs shirt next season….yeah. I believe it so much. Can you feel the power.
greg - June 4th, 2008 at 9:56 pm
Can i smell something, is that you fabregasis god! you r always on our site, feck off twat!
Morgan. - June 4th, 2008 at 9:58 pm
Fabregasisbent - you really are a twat, have you had two strikers score ovr 20 each in the last 2 seasons? NO you havent. ‘couldnt hit the floor…’ shame you know about as much about football as you do about winning, 3years no cups!!!!!
anyway, I think Berbs will sign if we can get Santos of Chapel, Hopefully both. Id prefer Chapel out of the 2 if we only get one
Anonymous - June 4th, 2008 at 10:01 pm
keane is average, berbs makes him look better than he is.
FabregasISGod - June 4th, 2008 at 10:02 pm
lol morgan still spouting that same old argument? along with the same old “we on the up this season”……… then falling flat on yer arse AGAIN????? how many years are you gunner suffer the same old humiliation????
if you knew anything about football you wouldnt be a spurs fan, your a laughing stock, every team in the premiership laughs at tottenham cos theyre the “also ran” of football………
get a grip of ya selves, and come and see me when youve won 6 tropies in 10 years instead of 2……
davspurs - June 4th, 2008 at 10:04 pm
we dont need a player with is head out of the door and his wallet on the pitch .Let him go when he plays well and scores i s agent wants to flog him and spurs slap a big tranfer on his head then he plays shite .We have to start winning from the first game not when berbey starts scoring after christmas sell him to barca and get some swaps ronaldino will do and das santos.
Morgan. - June 4th, 2008 at 10:07 pm
and I see you didnt answer the question, how many strikers of yours have scored ovre 20 goals two seasons running?
We dont claim to be the top team in the prem, we know we are working back to what we were, but we are going in the right direction and even mates who a arsenal fans admit that. but the likes of you cant because of your blinkered lack of knowledge about the game as a whole.
And at the moment you are heading the opp. way to us!

ftt - June 4th, 2008 at 10:25 pm
Santos of Chapel…. I’d prefer Dos Santos and Capel…. What’s this Santos of Chapel like then?
Tom - June 4th, 2008 at 10:26 pm
I hate to say it but realistically Berba is gone, and we are beginning to clutch at straws. Hes gonna leave a big void and not sure if we will be able to replace him! Not overly confident of snapping up someone of David Villas proven quality so i think Juande will have to pull one out of the bag. Not to worry tho, hes done this before, two great strikers at seville!
Hope these Dos Santos reports are true cos hes amazing!
Morgan. - June 4th, 2008 at 10:28 pm
ftt - lol yeah didnt notice that, clearly I meant Santos or Capel. but thanks for pulling up the typo.

8 points up in the league an to loose it an fin 3rd wow super fab
FabregasISGod - June 4th, 2008 at 10:36 pm
hang on morgan, no one expected us to finish top 6 last year, let alone lead through 3/4 of the season…….
not something i noticed you did 20+ goalscorers an all……….
“we won the carling cup” - wow, the mickey mouse cup……. even boton and birmingham put out reserve sides for that competition, its the only tway you woulod have won anything, let alone qualify for europe
“were on the up” - sorry, you league status doesnt reflect that
“you havnt won anything for 3 years” - but have consistanly played attractive footbal, qualified for the CL quarter finals and finished in the top 3, again something i noticed you havnt achieved
mike - your right, if 31 makes a little boy, obviously your maths is as good as ya mate morgan
“jog on to some Ar5ena1 blog and chat shit with the other bunch of nomads” - last time i checked it was a free country, meaning i can post on ANY blogs i like and there is not a thing you can do about it
any further questions?
FabregasISGod - June 4th, 2008 at 10:38 pm
“8 points up in the league an to loose it an fin 3rd wow super fab” - and i spose starting the season yby losing to sunderland and propping the rest of the prmemiership up, before finally finishing 11th supperceeds the achievments of the higher plaed clubs does it?
ahahahaha if brains were dynamite, you wouldnt have enough to blow ya fucking nose coys ya mug

Fabregasisgod what are you talking about? Firstly everyone (apart from you) will agree spurs are improving and moving the right direction. Secondly who didnt think arsenal would finish in the top 6? Also your 31 and you are still using the childish “its a free country”, i do what i want? Grow up mate

I was going to highlight his use of “lol” and “:)” but I thought it may hurt his feelings and give him nightmares about bigger boys bullying him at school tomorrow.
FabregasISGod - June 4th, 2008 at 10:47 pm
the point to the “free country” was as a football fan i dont have to be forced to post just in arsenal blogs cos a select few dont like my opinons
many of the pundits last year expected arsenal to finish outside the top six simply because of the sale of terry henry…
spurs are a rapidly inproving club, but no matter who they bring in, they wont be challenging for a place in the top four unless the top four all eat dodgy lasagne………
a point some of your MORE deludued fans cannot seem to grasp……….

Phil the Gooner - June 4th, 2008 at 10:51 pm
Has anyone actually said that they want Berbatov? I know Arsene doesn’t want him and couldn’t afford him or his wages. Man Utd don’t want him. Liverpool can’t afford him. Chelsea could afford him but they have no manager. It looks like Spuds may be left with him hanging around, spoiling the team spirit and eating into the wage bill for longer than Comolli thought. Buying a player to sell on for a profit is OK but someone has to want to buy him!
FabregasISGod - June 4th, 2008 at 10:52 pm
Ok im 15, but why does it matter
Phil the Gooner - June 4th, 2008 at 10:54 pm
fabregasis god, “no-one expected us to finish 6th…” Eh? Arsene was crowing that we’d win everything as usual. Everyone else said 4th because they expected Liverpool to kick on, which they didn’t. Nobody, but nobody, thought Arsenal would end up lower than 4th. Not even the Spuds.
FabregasISGod - June 4th, 2008 at 10:56 pm
it is something i would notice what with working in mental health care……… and comments like that show you as the ignorant idiot you really are mike, not oly ignorant, but of very low intelligence, cos if you think its acceptable to joke about that sort of thing then you truly ARE more deluded than your average spuds fan

and anonymous this is what alan hanson said about arsenal before the season started
“Arsenal have finished fourth in the last two seasons, playing a brand of football everybody agrees is as good as anything you see when it comes off.
But I think if they keep playing that brand of football, even with one or two additions, they would be the one team out of the so-called top four that could be vulnerable”
FabregasISGod - June 4th, 2008 at 11:06 pm
excuse me mike us mere mortals do occasionally make mistakes not like you “gods”
“oooooooh a spelling mistake, that proves he’s a schoolboy”

Ah, the Alan Hansen of ‘win nothing with kids’, ‘Liverpool will be challengers this season’ (about 4 season in a row), ‘Chelsea by a mile (last season)’ ‘Tottenham will break into the top 4′. If that’s the best that you can do to justify your invention that everyone was saying that we’d finish 6th, then you’d better just give up now.
We failed to meet Wenger’s arrogant boasts, we were miles from Chelsea and man Utd and it’s only that Liverpool are crap, with a crap manager and owners who want to destroy them, that we managed any sort of respectability.

FabregasisGod, don’t you think its quite sad that you lied about your age, like “your right, if 31 makes a little boy, obviously your maths is as good as ya mate morgan”. Firstly, thats quite sad. Secondly, most Arsenal fans actually realise how good Keane really is and how underated he is. Keane actually does a lot more than Berbatov and the person who said Berba makes Keane look good, its quite the other way round. Without Keane up front with him, Berba wouldnt have had half the chances he had these past 2 seasons, nor would have scored that amount of goals.
On the Spurs - Arsenal argument. We have huge amounts of potential and need to show outr intentions next season. Most of us aren’t deluded enough to think we will crack the top four next season, you just listen to the 12 year old kids shouting their mouth off on Caught Offside. Realistically, top 6 and a Uefa Cup win would be brilliant. Arsenal, would probably finish 3rd (Chelsea and Man U will be too strong unless Mourinho buys Chelseas stars), and the only cup I can see you winning is the FA Cup or the Carling Cup, as CHamps League and Premiership might be too difficult.
Fair points? I think so.

who gives a shit. spurs forum,so wer not actually interested in arseholenal or what u think about them. so, go bore some other pikeys with your incessant rambling.
FabregasISGod - June 5th, 2008 at 12:36 am
only on the pitch coys……. TH was still club captain officially
and yeah i would say he’s the reason although not neccesarily to BLAME cos a lot of not finishing the season of with the EPL was due to tiredness, lack of quality replacments for injuries/fatigue and squad depth……….
i think harry rednapp or martin o neil would be a good choice as succesor or dare i say it the chosen one…….. lol
FabregasISGod - June 5th, 2008 at 12:38 am
anyhoo, its got slightly off topic, so shall we return to debating whether berba will stay or go?
coys - June 5th, 2008 at 12:41 am
i agree last 3 months ye were not same as the start of sesaon which ye had no prressure playin great football .etc….them after xmas …he had few probelms…an lacked the experience…..an faded…..jus be honest we are on the up and our aim is cl an were tryin
coys - June 5th, 2008 at 12:43 am
who will pay 20 mil plus………..he wud be perfect for arsenal style
FabregasISGod - June 5th, 2008 at 12:46 am
its the sam eold story with us though, its not we lost to many games, but we DREW to many, as alwyas, and tbh, i think its way to early for ANYONE to say they’re going to win anything yet as only a few transfers have gone through so far………
come the start of the season, every team in the PL could be completely different so all bets would change……..
the first 1/3 of the season should tell us a lot in terms of who has made the best signings, is best improved and likely to win anything though
FabregasISGod - June 5th, 2008 at 12:47 am
we cant afford his wages most probably, i dont know what he earns, but its likely its more than arsenal will pay as he is likely to want a significant raise
coys - June 5th, 2008 at 12:52 am
im not sure as we have wage structure to…..so not ure whats he on now. he has hes days ,,,,most fans dont like he attitude…if we got 20 mil plus sell him
FabregasISGod - June 5th, 2008 at 12:54 am
his attitude is the one reason i dont think a premier league club will buy him, he maybe suited more to serie a where that sort of thing is commonplace, maybe intr will bid, josé is long known to be an admirer………
mike - June 5th, 2008 at 12:55 am
berbs on 60 grand a week at the mo
coys - June 5th, 2008 at 12:56 am
what got me was wenger playin ebouse at RM……he shud of played him RB out toure CB but he kept playin him RM i think that cost ye also jus like us ..we dint get enough goals from midfield
FabregasISGod - June 5th, 2008 at 12:59 am
well he can play both but i think eboue himself prefers to play RB
i think rosicky long term injury (which caused us neverending problems) was the naib reason, diaby didnt do well in that position, theo is right footed so only hleb was left to cover it, which then leaves who do you play on the right? theo? still inexperienced at the start of last season, and i think thats why eboue got the nod before him
coys - June 5th, 2008 at 1:00 am
he is class……….ya also chelsea may buy him of drogba gose…..if he dose ……..will we buy a replacement or give santos a shot as hes ment to sign
FabregasISGod - June 5th, 2008 at 1:01 am
60k? well within our budget, but wenger wont pay for him i doubt
coys - June 5th, 2008 at 1:04 am
true but it dint feel right the balence was wrong.alos song ddi well for last few games instead od sendros, .alos he never bought any players in jan..an rosicky was key player to loose an not replaced which cost ye
coys - June 5th, 2008 at 1:06 am
60 not much these days for a pricless player like that….have to move with times( we are richest club out side CL
FabregasISGod - June 5th, 2008 at 1:07 am
yup, senderos is a donkey…….. but that being said, how many people said that about the young tony adams???? and he turned into one of the greatest CB of all time
but for me, i would have song over senderos anyday, because he can play DM as well he is ideal to push up on a counter attack just to add more numbers
coys - June 5th, 2008 at 1:11 am
def …hes smore confident on the ball……..sendo is like daws…..trys with hes heart but makes individual errors
FabregasISGod - June 5th, 2008 at 1:15 am
i was watching Arsenal Vs Fulham form the tail end of las season on ATV this evening and cam on after half an hour, when i noticed senderos was playing, i though id count his errors…….. i counted 24 where he was either out of position, gave the ball away conceded an uneccesary free kick/foul
he is clearly out of his depth at arsenal and i think he should think about moving on tbh
perhaps somewhere like villa or everton?
mike - June 5th, 2008 at 1:18 am
more like chester or bury
FabregasISGod - June 5th, 2008 at 1:19 am
lol in all seriousness, he is good enough to play in the prem, just not for the top 4 teams
coys - June 5th, 2008 at 1:21 am
ya he was doing the job ok………but now he far from a stable player…..the reason why we were on boton 3 last season….was mainly due to stupid indavidual erros was crazy…mainly daws an robbo…..crazy stuff
coys - June 5th, 2008 at 1:22 am
mike hes like daws try bit not good enough to many erros
mike - June 5th, 2008 at 1:22 am
agreed ,why has wenger kept so much faith in him no he looks like a duck out of water
FabregasISGod - June 5th, 2008 at 1:25 am
we should put all the crap players in one team…….. oh we already have, thyre called west ham arnt they?! lmao
perhaps he could go there to “show wenger he will have the last laugh” like that muppet ljungberg…… i had to laugh when i saw the article today!
coys - June 5th, 2008 at 1:27 am
agree .wenger bougin jan to cover him self …where as we bough to def…..also all arse fans why play eboue at RM every week……we were same with leeno very frustratin players…..all the abilty but cant cross hes legs
mike - June 5th, 2008 at 1:29 am
im watching setanta at the mo apparently ljungberg says there is no truth in the article also hleb 2 barcelona being replaced by nasri which i hope not because he looks quality
FabregasISGod - June 5th, 2008 at 1:30 am
perhaps thats why eboue did play there, cos he can cross……. he has a habit (even when playing RB) to dash to the byline and whip a cross in where as theo tends to run at defences and play to feet or shoot
whatever the reason, it was the wrong choice for that position………..
coys - June 5th, 2008 at 1:31 am
he was like lucaa neil…..rejected liverpool for more money to play for the feeder club west spam for us bigger clubs………….do u think ye shud of bought carrick now?……also bent was opposite turned down an extra 30….to come to us an prob knew he be on bench……..
FabregasISGod - June 5th, 2008 at 1:32 am
i read the hleb thing is almost done bat the medical…….. i recon we could lokk for in the region of around 12-14 mill for hleb (i read some articles stating as high as about 18 or 19 mill but i seriously doubt he’s worth that much) honestly i hope we get nasri, he could be the spark we need, from what ive seen his pace and control are FRIGHTENING
coys - June 5th, 2008 at 1:36 am
i think ye shud sell him …cause i he is a good player but doesnt score enough goals from midfield…………ye miss the goals from pires as lunberg…….we are the same problem is scorin from midfield……which helps a lot……jus look at lampard for chelsea so important now days to get goals from midfield
coys - June 5th, 2008 at 1:38 am
i bet bently is sory he left an ye wished he stayed for another season who knows
mike - June 5th, 2008 at 1:38 am
i heared he could buy hes contract up i dont know if u would get more or less as 4 nasri like u said pacy good control with both feet still only young.
FabregasISGod - June 5th, 2008 at 1:40 am
i agree i dont think he ever settled properly, he certainly didnt have as you rightly say the influence of pires or freddie, i think the only reason wenger kept him was because of the 4-5-1 he favours playing in europe where hleb thends to tuck in behind adebayor up front
but its clear he doesnae wanna stay though and the reason he gave about london being to noisy was pish if he’s going to barca……..
coys - June 5th, 2008 at 1:42 am
we are lnked with so many plyers its un real……..we need a GK an DM an forward if berbabe goes….an were linked to attackers playes only …..mike will we have same probelm as last 3 season…..same old story scorin loads an conciding loads
FabregasISGod - June 5th, 2008 at 1:43 am
apparently he’s down to earth too mike, and is not like other players in so much as he’s not wanting a huge wage so we probably stand a better chance of gettin him than benzema because if man u or chelski offer him more money he’s the sort of perosn who would say “ive already agreed to go to arsenal”
FabregasISGod - June 5th, 2008 at 1:46 am
i think at this point its standard that most big clubs are linked with lots of players……. you only have to look at how many players liverpool have been linked with today alone to see that
a lot of managers favour not making public who their interested in until their announced as a player and i can understand that after chelski’s antics with wright-phillips, mikel and essien tbh
coys - June 5th, 2008 at 1:47 am
im sure ye will get him…with him playin at start …unless he wants more moey an sit on hes ass for manure or chavs. also diarra left an flam gone ……pity
mike - June 5th, 2008 at 1:47 am
agree with yer coys dm is a must dont know about u but poulsen looks quality . u were right about daws and robbo, shaky and to many errors, but i also feel our defence was exposed because our fullbacks like to push on to much
FabregasISGod - June 5th, 2008 at 1:50 am
i didnt see enough of diarra to be able to have a firm opinion on whether it was good or bad he went, seems wenger was certainly surprised he left so early as were most people to be fair
flamini had a good season but i dont think he’ll be missed that much, if the truth is known, one player a team does not make as was proved when mr. henry left last year
coys - June 5th, 2008 at 1:52 am
ya he is good an has exp. i think we will be spolied for choice when we have all our singings….451.433.442. an others, plus we have stll bout 7 players that have to be sold there dead wood……he shud of dropped zokora an played tanion as a dm an see how it goes …last 10 games he play same team same formation .. n same results..that worrys me a bit
FabregasISGod - June 5th, 2008 at 1:53 am
the only team i saw that didnt have that problem of the full backs pushing on to much was united, and their defensive record speaks volumes.
i think too much of the emphasis is on attack now instead of defence
george graham built a team around the defence and i think football has lost that now in a world where LB and RB have virtually become extra wingers
coys - June 5th, 2008 at 1:54 am
how about cesc an barry?
coys - June 5th, 2008 at 1:56 am
the way i see it is. if ur marking a player an he scores its ur fault. when u dont have the ball ever play becomes a defender
mike - June 5th, 2008 at 1:57 am
defo i would like to have seen tarabat peckhert rose and a few others in the last few games of the season. peckert looked good in the reserves .
FabregasISGod - June 5th, 2008 at 1:58 am
not to sure about that have really only seen barry in the england matches where he was mostly a holding player, but he strikes me as a gilberto-esque player…… we probably could do with a solid, hardworking, no noncence viera type player, diop or ballack would fit well but not barry for me
coys - June 5th, 2008 at 2:01 am
ya totally wud of like to see then play but is hard to drop keane an berba an have bent there awell.. but with 7 subs next season we will have more option, ive alwasy said it u can buy for future ever season, but we need players to fit in not 2-3 years in future
FabregasISGod - June 5th, 2008 at 2:02 am
which has always been a downfall of wengers, its rar to see anyone other than cesc or flamini defending last season, hleb doesnt, rosicky does when he’s fit but he’s a bot of a jonah on the injury front and theo isnt big on defending either
for my mind a team should be built around the defence
coys - June 5th, 2008 at 2:03 am
will the 6+5 rule come in or not
mike - June 5th, 2008 at 2:05 am
yeah i like that 7 sub rule all thanks to mr levy of course. agreed we need more exp look when davids was in midfield we nearly made the cl any .exp players spring to mind that could be worth getting.
FabregasISGod - June 5th, 2008 at 2:06 am
cant see it tbh, its would be like turning asylum seekers away, and also it would infringe on the players rights
i wouldnt mind seeing a system like in scotland though, where you have to have 3 players in the match squad unser 21 and 3 home grown players in the match squad also
coys - June 5th, 2008 at 2:07 am
but that dont matter WEATHER ur a Winger or not…. It drives me so mad…. RM OR RW must run back an help he righ back……cause ur RM marks there LF if u get me….its not rocket sceince
FabregasISGod - June 5th, 2008 at 2:10 am
exactly……. pires used to go forward and defend (after a bollocking about it like)
6 players defending a whole team doesnt work…….. you need all your players bak defending regardless of position
coys - June 5th, 2008 at 2:10 am
ya have to wait n see…..nothin wud suprisre me…..on anohter note….to take pressure off he refs…… have what they have in rugby video ref upstaires….to make the decision an ref cant be blamed?
FabregasISGod - June 5th, 2008 at 2:12 am
that has been talked about for years now and i think it a good idea, but FIFA have refused to use that because they say it will take away the referees authority and tempt player to try and change the decisions against them (like that never happens at the bridge and old trafford ANYWAY)
coys - June 5th, 2008 at 2:14 am
i thought it wud be common sense jus cause ur a winger doesnt mean u dont have to get back…..you do……all times get behind ball
coys - June 5th, 2008 at 2:16 am
mike u must of gone to bed……
FabregasISGod - June 5th, 2008 at 2:17 am
to a certain extent i think it depends on what league the player has come from, if for example he’s from serie a, where teams traditionally defend more then they will probably be defence minded when being counter attacked, but if for example theyre from the EPL where fast paced attacking footbal, with WB’s bombing forward and popping in crosses, it seems to be seen as a defenders role……
mike - June 5th, 2008 at 2:17 am
na still up mate just made a cuppa
coys - June 5th, 2008 at 2:19 am
it wont …cause in most decisions it hppens so fast an he has a 50/50 in right or wrong an bigger club smaller club…u no what happens,…..so if ref is unsure …he can pass it on,,,to make he correct right decision, other wise matches will be blamed on refs costin up a goal costin us stayin up etc
mike - June 5th, 2008 at 2:19 am
has anyone seen dos santos in action what do u think
coys - June 5th, 2008 at 2:20 am
im from ireland …………..where still up…………have ye work 2 mor……..i do shit work …not back till monday
coys - June 5th, 2008 at 2:22 am
i think he look gos on u tube …but what dose he do when dose not have he ball……( tarrabet ring a bell) he couldnt be great but also there a chance it cud be a flop…..but im hopin he will be a success
FabregasISGod - June 5th, 2008 at 2:22 am
i agree coys, i think its the way forward, im a rugby fan and have seen it work, hvaing said that, it does disrupt the game while the footage is reviewed, but a small price to pay to elimiate the was it/wasnt it penalty decisions or the old three yellow cards routine lol
mike - June 5th, 2008 at 2:26 am
just hope hes not another kbp he looked good on u tube, still think hes worth going 4
coys - June 5th, 2008 at 2:26 am
rugby players have full respect for fef…but im afraind the footballers are cheaters an no respect for refs at all
coys - June 5th, 2008 at 2:28 am
well i ve said give a player at least a season to settle in …look at henr y pires an few other i can think of
mike - June 5th, 2008 at 2:28 am
didier drogba being the main culpret
coys - June 5th, 2008 at 2:30 am
true its a differt ball game an diff pressures for players an depends which club
coys - June 5th, 2008 at 2:32 am
will im off to bed……nice talkin to ya mike….an cesc…..take care…….COYS
mike - June 5th, 2008 at 2:35 am

The seven dwarfs are down in the mines when there is a cave-in. Snow White runs to the entrance and yells down to them. In the distance a voice shouts out “Arsenal are good enough to win the European Cup.” Snow White says “Well at least Dopey’s alive!”
Jamie - June 5th, 2008 at 2:48 am
With all respect Fabregas, I request that you please make comments eleswhere.
It is obvious that argument between spurs and arsenal would never end (of course you know that). You also cannot just come over to spurs blog, made your points and then expect spurs fans to accept with what you have to say. No matter how much you would like to clarify yourself as a positive poster, I cannot see anything constructive from you from all your recent posts on spurs blog.
I am sure you are a grown up and a good poster, so be it. go back to arsenal blog and talk about your team and may be you can also talk on bad things about spurs on arsenal blog. I personally don’t mind. but to be here and trying to annoy people it is just plain stupid.
I won’t re-post again as I know it will be of no use. How do you respond to my request will tell whether you are a good arsenal fan or just a stupid one.
coys - June 5th, 2008 at 2:51 am
jamie he ant the worst at end i was chattin to him
FabregasISGod - June 5th, 2008 at 2:57 am
thanks jamie comment noted but i am a football fan and correct me if i am wrong spurs DO play football?
mike - June 5th, 2008 at 2:58 am
ah more fun and games
coys - June 5th, 2008 at 2:59 am
it will never end .,,,,,,but i like honest an equal opinions on soccer not mater of ur rivals …….i give respect when respect is due to any team
FabregasISGod - June 5th, 2008 at 3:00 am
no no no no no! im not arguing, mere stating that i dontthink the seperate forums should be open to jst the fans of that club
rivaly and banter is all well and good, but it does get tiresome and i for one prefers to debate rather than argue
coys - June 5th, 2008 at 3:02 am
i agree fab……..u acn go on an on with this ….but i like to tlak about the topic on hand there an then an have other opinions from other teams notin wrong with that
FabregasISGod - June 5th, 2008 at 3:02 am
anyhoo away tae bed for me i think
it been emotional!

The next time go f*cking love each other up over there FabregasISGod and your bunch of sycophants. The little pr*ck was hanging around this blog for over 5 hours like Wenger at the local kids playground!
I hate c*nts like this who look down their nose at you (I’m sooo smart & funny) and then try to be your mate afterwards. Oh I get it - you’re sooo funny Gallas was actually crying with laughter!
The reality is he’ll wake up in the morning and still be that sad lonely tw*tt who spent his whole evening typing on a blog site.

Scorpion - June 5th, 2008 at 9:26 am
Fabricass, you showed your true self with the comment that “if you knew anything about football you wouldn’t be a Spurs fan”. Typical front running sports fan. If they don’t win there’s always another team to cheer for.
Spurs fans loyalties come from their heart, not from success and we will support our team if they dropped to the Conference. You corporate ass kissing fans who need success to continue supporting the club of choice for the moment are nothing but wannabees.
The rate Arsenal are going you will be a Manure or Cheatski fan very shortly.
Plus how do figure we fell on our face this year. Once again I remind you of the scoreboard: Spurs trophies this year 1, Arsenal 0. Winning when it matters: Spurs 5, Arsenal 1.
John D - June 5th, 2008 at 9:56 am
