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!
He missed his last PK when we played Werder.
Agree with David upthread, we (and Bale) will have to expect to see teams targetting Bale with a few hefty hooves. He can’t be contained but they will try to intimdate him; that’s the cost of a reputation. Nonetheless I think we need to drill Sandro and Palacios to go kick someone who disrespects our talent.
I remember a game when Ossie was being taken out (I don’t recall who it was but I’m pretty sure it was a UEFA cup game). Someone had been “assigned” to keep him bottled up and just kept on tripping, barging and hacking at him. After a few of these and a particularly cynical challenge, Graham Roberts went full sprint from just inside the right back position to the left wing to put this twat into row Z. Curiously enough the tactic was discontinued…….. even more curious was that Roberst only get a yellow! :angel:
The point is, we will need to look after each other on the field for a while till they get the idea that hacking down Bale or Lennon or Modric, WILL have consequences…… a manager who was a team mate of Bily Bonds should be familiar with that concept.
I note that we seem to have picked up a penalty or two by blasting free kicks at the faces of defenders in the wall…..not sure of the ethics of this, but my shameful bias welcomes the penalties, even if we can’t put them away!
Great result for the boys; they say that by Christmas the table settles itself and I think that’s pretty much happening now. Points-wise we are there-and-there-abouts, need to up the GD with a couple of 9-1s.
Bring back Roberts for some personal tutoring and mentoring in that area.
My dad always refers to the red scousers as Liverpoo, but my mum being a little more up market prefers to call them Liverstool.

Wilson and the strikers were an embarrassment.
