Good morning.
Despite having an IQ likened by me to ‘the size of a planet’ when the game finished and the league table popped up on the TV screen I said out loud, ‘Wow, look at that’. Do you think it’s helpful we retain some modesty and indeed some small degree of awe while things are progressing so excellently?
In the opening minutes of the game there was a lovely move that broke down on the left when I think Sandro misplaced a pass and the ball was stroked out of play. This drew a significant groans from a section of the home support. I think it was Dave Basset commentating on my coverage and he wryly remarked that ‘some Tottenham fans have been spoiled recently.’
I’m beginning to feel spoiled. We’re sitting 3rd in the Barclays Premiership with a game in hand and respectable goal difference. Our schedule of games has been balanced unlike it might be argued Newcastle’s who’s good run was underpinned by some results from soft opposition. Including us.
The ratings then…
7.001 Granite face, metal heart. The Colonel oozes confidence, he pongs of experience. Go on, get close, fill your nostrils. The scent of defiance.
5.678 A little too exciting to watch at times. Benny clearly has class and talent in equal measure but if we’re serious about this business now, he needs to row in the same direction.
6. 467 A much improved showing here. But that is obviously down to getting back into the swing of things. Notably good in the air and far more composed all round.
6. 467 Consistent as hell. Sunderland lacked bite up front but the pests that did get through had bad luck or no luck at all. Fingers crossed he doesn’t sneeze and dislocate an ankle before Cheatski.
6. 467 Bundles of desire going forward, a menace on occasion. But I really want to see him get his defence game nailed. If he can do that, then he can start to really own his shirt.
7.004 Unconvincing first half. His showing in the second was a key element in us not collapsing, not giving quarter and not failing. The trio of him, Modric and PNB is some unit right there.
7.003 Let’s hope fans aren’t becoming complacent with his routinely tidy displays. Solid as a rock defensively and displaying wit and understading in spades going forwards.
7.003 Looked a little out the mix in the early stages and there’s a nasty rumour going around about missing sitter. I don’t buy a word of it. Cheatski will be back in for him in January offering first born children. And that sort of thing.
7.209 Most of his work was excellent. The rest was sublime. His passing was on occasion extraordinary. We must have all been very, very good in a previous life to have landed him, eh Glenn?
6. 399 We just couldn’t seem to feed him and when we did he struggled like hell to make much of it. Manu improved in the second half and his constant redeeming feature is his intelligence.
7 Watching him come on you could clearly see how non existent his relationship is with Arry, Bondy waving his fingers, the boy himself was patting his hair down and looking into the distance. Sweet, sweet goal.
Spurredoninthefareastofbankokcorrespondant has been very quiet, perhaps he`s travelling by rick shaw to one of those Junks in an attempt to enter Australia (thought i saw him on nothing to declare) with a satchel full of snakes. HH if customs ask for a reference deny knowledge, don`t send money.
Oh, C’mon now, he’s an Irishman and we’re allowed to travel and settle anywhere in the world, i :shifty: t’s the law
What did they do with Ned Kelly ? Hung for a dodgy Irish accent !
Twice in fact, once in 1970 and then again 2 decades later
5-3-2? hahahaha, thats a fifa 10 formation, real football teams dont play 5 at the back….ever, there was some cocksucker phoned talkshite earlier suggesting that we play 5 at the back and sandro and parker in front, nice one brain-iac, that would leave us 3 attacking players, as oppossed to the 5 we usually play with, i know, lets do really well then go all Jol, play everyone outta position and be negative, morons
Would it sound better to you if they called it 3-5-2? It’s the same thing you see, with two wing backs given license to get forward, they’re essentially attacking players as well.
You`ve been playing too much FIFA 10
its fifa 12 these days
Uhm. That was the exact formation that Harry switched to at Stoke, and then gave an extended interview going on about how he used to play like that at Pompey and was a ‘big fan’ etc. So, like, get your facts straight and that, before you, you know, start calling people morons and stuff.
losing both our wingers is going to be a real kick in the nuts,bale is the one palyer we can really do with keeping fit,sir ledley is already unfit so
on bae,he does do crazy things,he was getting rattled yesterday but thats what happens when bale isn’t around,he does seem to be left on his own alot BAE so he has to get jiggy i guess
he did try and get forward,sure he could be world class like ummm,anyway we’ve made BAE so its good to see him being able to actually do the job well enough
i’m surprised he doesn’t fancy PSG,living in paris and getting paid dump truck loads of cash,it can’t be a bad life
What you doin` kojac, tapping up our Benny!!!
that would be my agent pitch,but anyone french and half decent,must be thinking, PSG my boyhood club
Arsenal tossers the whole f*cking lot of them, all taking a leaf out of Jack the lad Wilshires book, opening their mouths to spew out garbage.
Now that Arse** Wenger has said the Premier League is beyond them the players are certain they`ll finish above us………….Tossers, if you finish above us you`ve won the f*ck*ng thing, even a child knows that, get Arse** to ask one of his little friends.
