Untill you realise that the **** Comolli was in charge of the shopping.

Tottenham to become the new Leeds Utd?

Nah, some rich bloke will step in before that happens, I'm afraid. Different financial circumstances, nowadays.
Hope your right though, it'll be hilarious

Always heartbreaking to see T*ttenham tool things up so royally. 
It really couldn't have been scripted any better: Levy decides Jol (the best manager they've had since, oh, Keith Burkinshaw) can't take then up the next step so starts whoring around Europe for a new man, as is the way of things his "clandestine" meeting with Juande gets out, the players realise Jol is a lame-duck manager so stop playing for him & their best player (Berbatov) breaks out into almost open defiance. Jol is left with nowhere to go but the door marked "exit".

Leeds United were relegated purely because of their copious amounts of debt, which meant they had to sell off their entire squad. Spurs aren't in that position (fortunately).

Might go the other way - relegation leading to copious amounts of debt.
I'll admit that probably isn't likely.

Even at this point will be still be surprised if Spurs go down.

Indeed, an absolute debacle from the off - I feel for Jol, he was royally screwed by the board after they'd backed him with so much money and he clearly seems to have lost the dressing room. Berba for one would visibly rather be anywhere else. The strange thing is, at this stage last season they'd picked up only one more League point than they've got now...Always heartbreaking to see T*ttenham tool things up so royally.

Yeah, Spurs won't become the new Leeds. Still rather amusing though.

Siding with Lehmann. He's clearly better than Almunia.

Cricket, Lovely Cricket
I can fully understand that given your humour levels.Quite right. Leeds qualified for the Champions League.
I kill me, sometimes.
Craig

Yeah but he iso ne of the biggest tools out there, would rather somebody like Almunia then a berk like Lehmann. Players with that attitude are not needed at Arsenal, even if they are top of the league.
