Hello honktonks.
This weekend will be more than interesting. Spurs are primed to smash all previous attempts in the ‘Faces With Egg On Them In One Football Stadium’ category in the Guinness Book Of Records.
Redschnapps, Gallas, Mickey Hazard, you name ’em… their appears to be a Tottinghams related punter on the end of every microphone in the country tipping us to win everything from Britain’s Got Gout to the Champions League itself.
Spurs have more form than Shergar when it comes to doing really well then completely failing to show up.
Liverpool arrive on a high – having beaten West Ham with some confidence last week – but my feeling is that their remission is a false one. Weight is added to my argument by the fact they are supposedly fielding Joe Cole. What a close shave that was.
My belief is that we will do them. But they will be a damn sight more difficult to break down if will pull the same stunt we did against The French and allow ourselves to go one or two down. We need to be up and at ’em from the off.
Here’s my unique guide to losing money, then.
Us to win 2-1 is 7/1 HERE, Konchesky to be shown a card first is 14/1 HERE, Torres & J Defoe to both score in 90 minutes play is 6/1 HERE
And you can get a free £20 to bet when you drop a tenner HERE not to mention allow me to enjoy a banquet of turkey feet & chips come Christmas day.
BIOYBDC!
2 good performances from Lennon this week. Was close to MOTM in both games but beaten to it by Modders.
Well played Bassong. Better 2nd half from Palacios. Jenas to come straight back in when against Brum next week though.
Bale had an average game by his standards. Probably did not help that every time he ran with the ball he was hacked down.
Maybe Modders can take penalties whilst VDV is out?
may aswell give him a go
Can Modders kick it that far?
I’ve seen him take a few for Croatia and he missed about half. Perfect for us then.
He missed one in the CC final for us as well I think?
Clearly practicing penalties can join practicing set pieces and tactics as things we don’t do. We’ve missed 4 this season and that isn’t good enough.
i know but if vdv misses pens,what can you do,he’s pure class
he buried the one that mattered.
he just felt bad for his countrymen.
It just seems like we’re missing a bet. With the attacking power we have, we will get awarded spot kicks. Our takers should practice a bit.
Funny thing is I can’t recall a miss costing us, but that will change at some point.
Can’t we just bring Keano on for the pens. Like they do in the American game.
he’ll be in MLS soon enough
Defoe (Liverpool), Bale (Werder Bremen), van der Vaart (Twente) and Pavlyuchenko (Blackburn) have missed spot kicks and we lost no points. Amazing.
wow that is lucky,oh well then i guess it doesn;t matter,let gomes loose he’ll enjoy it
Most interesting stat today (apart from the scoreline of course) was Spurs 6 fouls, no cards, Pool 17 fouls 5 yellows.
Afraid this is a sign of things to come as when we played L’Arse last week, Bale was the most fouled player in the prem league that weekend and their 3 yellows in that match were all for fouls on Bale.
The extra attention he is getting means more room for the likes of Modders and Lennon.
Don’t forget that Bremen tried kicking us off the park as well – so that’s three teams on the bounce that have tried to kick lumps out of us.
Next up, Birmingham…
I got the score right, I got the score right, I got the score right, I got the score right, I got the score right, I got the score right,
Smugtastico – as we say
me too Sid….i got the lineup right also – if you dont count the first ten minutes :cool:
I said we would miss a penalty if we got one – still, I suspect most of us got that one right!
A correct score and line up …… now that’s just dirty talk
The law of averages says you will run out a winner occasionally.
I thought the law of averages produces no winners – lots of draws though
hey did you get the score right
