Yeast
I feel better now – I guess we all do? Just what we needed. Hi there, pop pickers (blimey, you’re showing your age!), da, da, da, da-da, da, Spurs are up 4 places to 15th…and we’ve gained ground on the top 4, and scored 100% more than they could muster between them this weekend. Ha, ha, ha.
Now, did you spot the Bagel at today’s game cos it’s been rumoured that he was there? Thank goodness for that because I understand he was back in the country before the Fulham game so his losing run continued. Anyway, for his benefit (and Bale’s), you win a game when you have scored more than the opposition when the game finishes – get it?
A bit shaky in the end but they got there. What more is there to say? Why yeast – well, yeast helps the bread rise and maybe Spurs as well.
A busier week to come and we’re looking for a strong finish to the month – shame about the blip in the middle.
I can give you loads of memories from earlier days, but we’ll have time for that another day. For starters, what’s the best goal you ever saw…I’m going to need support from some older customers to see it my way?
By the way, for those of you who spotted the deliberate mistake, it wasn’t ‘Along came Joe’ from Showboat – it was ‘Along came Bill’ – that must have been Bill Nick!
The Platzel.

Must Be Ricky Villa and we all know when !!!!!

What about Gazza in the semi final or Jason (i`ve got the wind behind me) cundy or Jurgen the german at bramall lane or everytime Ginola scored or Bentley against the scum. So many memories! Coys!

Lineker against Porto. Great team goal. Haven’t seen it in years and it never gets mentioned, so its probably a lot better in my head than in reality…

Although I always like Roberts goal v Anderlecht in the UEFA Cup Final 1984. Not a great goal in itself, but the drama of him scoring it after Ardiles’ ridiculous shot off the woodwork (when it was an open goal) was fantastic.
I think all my favourite goals are going to be in the 80s, because thats when I was at a (more) impressionable age. I don’t want to see them again…

seen as we’re getting misty eyed and nostalgic, I have a fond memory of Rocket Ronnie’s hat-trick against Southampton in the cup that time!
funny how, the better Harry does, the worse Ramos and his team seem to look.. the more Harry succeeds in getting the best out of players (this time Lennon), the more inept the poor Spaniard comes across. Before we were desperate about losing all our striking talent and claiming that the ones we have left can’t play together.. now we have options and (compared to most of the prem) a fairly enviable choice of combinations !
funny ol game ..

I agree with Oog, a lot of my favourite’s will be during the 80’s. Glenn Hoddle got some great goals, (Just watched some goals on YouTube to see how impressionable I was, Oog you have nothing to fear if you watch that, 4 minutes of genius)
Ginola’s solo goal in the cup, Gazza winning us the FA Cup in 1991, every game up to the final he took by the scruff of the neck, and numerus other memories.
But my vote for today will go to Stevie Carr’s rocket against the Mancs. Cracking game, took a younger cousin to the Park Lane end. He learnt a great song about Posh Spice and promptly got put on report at school.
Live and learn.

Just a tiny correction:
1 is not a 100% more than 0
0×2 is still 0
1 is actually so much more than 0 that % doesn’t have what it takes to describe it.

It’s an obvious choice but mine would also be Gazza’s goal against arsenal in the FA Cup Semi Final. Spine-tingling.

Favourite (not necessarily the best) goal from a game I was at: Klinsmann V Liverpool (a) FA Cup 5th Round ‘95. Last minute winner to silence the Kop. Stayed behind for 30mins singing my 14yr old heart old.
Favourite Spurs goal of all time? Coin flip between Ricardo Villa and Gazza - you know the goals in question so I don’t need to elaborate. I would love to have been old enough to go the the City game but I was only 10 months old and Mum wouldn’t let Dad take me (not that I’d remember it!)

Villa, Gazza… Gazza, Villa? Tough one to call… I saw the Villa goal but had to settle for watching Gazza’s on a video tape my brother sent me while I was overseas in the armed forces. Purely on the basis that I saw Ricky Villa’s & had to settle for a video some time after the event of Gazza’s, I’ve got to go with the real life moment of Villa’s wonderful master class

Reading through these and seeing those two goals mentioned time and time again, I wondered how many of us were at Wembley to see both goals?
I was only 6 at the time of the City game and have only seen the goal on tv. I was lucky enough to be at Wembley for the Arsenal semi-final.
Singing “You’ve lost that double feeling” on the way back to the station was great fun.
Any people on here who did “The Double”?
November 27th, 2008 at 1:07 pm
No, I was only 6 myself when Gazza was God. But I remember watching it on ITV (when football was still on ‘normal’ TV) and our entire house erupting! Great days.

Not a bad win last nite but needed of course, and further more well done to Gomes could this be the game that turns it around for him?..let’s hope so. But could someone please explain to me, we busted our bollocks to get Corluka and Pavlyuchenko to WHL but when are they eligible to play uefa cup games?..
November 28th, 2008 at 11:44 pm
Cosmo, I don’t think Pavlyuchenko & Corluka will be in UEFA Cup action this season, which I agree is a bloody nonsense considering how much effort Spurs put in to signing them only for them both to be cup tied. Anyway, a good result last night even if it wasn’t a great performance. Onwards & upwards. COYS!

Well hello joe pesky, you’ve been absent for some time but not missed. Very convenient that you’ve not been here while all the pantomime at the new library was going on, Mmm…
November 29th, 2008 at 8:27 pm
It’s not the Bagel Joe you plum.
As for coming out of the woodwork, seems your own lot need a bit on enticing these days.
November 29th, 2008 at 10:34 pm
sorry i didnt read all the post! not saying it was a boring read or anything. Does that mean i have to worry about the bagel again?
YOTN….what pantomime! if thats a pantomime i suppose white heart lane had been overtaken by the great moscow circus then!!
November 29th, 2008 at 10:38 pm
anyway i hope this new writer, the pretzell will keep up the bagels good work!!
November 30th, 2008 at 12:12 am
Would that be the platzel?
November 30th, 2008 at 11:37 am
Joe pesky, we’re doing fine at The Lane, you just concentrate on arshole wenger, he looks under so much stress he may fall victim to a stroke
November 30th, 2008 at 8:19 pm
I don’t think Spurs showed up today. We could’ve gained vital points & moved up the table, but no we let a side playing shit come along to take the points for a 3rd season in a row. We had better take our frustration out on Watford & then stick it to the spammers
