Good evening.
Curious ain’t the half of it. Only Professor Stephen Hawking and Margaret Thatcher pairinbg up on Strictly Come Dancing could have possibly dropped more points than the Premiership ‘big boys’ did today.
Fulham haven’t been playing convincing at all this season yet this lot are suddenly overachieving footballing warriors who can waltz into Second Hand Fridge and nick a point before tea time.
Manchester City up until this morning were a handing out jolly good hidings like Mario Balotelli was handing out twenty pound notes. Yet West Brom, possibly one of the dullest football teams ever devised by man – managed to successfully muffle them.
Liverpool have admittedly been carrying Andy Carroll about like a damp sack of cement in human form all season. But Blackburn are so godawful even they have fewer points/reasons to continue trading than Bolton Wanderers. Yet they too audaciously swooped into Afield and grab a point.
Meanwhile, the mighty Tottingham are still third and still with that increasingly valuable game in hand. Wow. And our next three fixtures in apple pie order are Norwich(A), Swansea (A) and West Brom (H).
To try and construct some comparative analysis between our next games and other team’s next three would be not just tricky but actually insane. However what we do know is that football form is self propelling beast. Just ask Owen Coyle.
If we can add another 9 points to ‘the haul’ so far – which we really ought to – then the momentum should keep us securely in the top four for a good while yet.
Happy Christmas so far, anyway.
Big Holiday crowds, especially Norwich, will boost the home teams and test us to the full. Expectancy and arrogance will prevent us from taking maximum points if we’re not ‘at it’ from the off. Harry’s got to sort out the balance of the side in Lennon’s absence and the only conceivable way is to play Walker further up field and Kaboul (if fit) in his place. Every team in the prem are of a standard, so to assume anything is frankly ridiculous. They are away games after all.
Playing a day after our rivals will release a bit of pressure.
Can’t see the goons slipping up so we must
win
Got my first prediction of the season right with the chescum game so on a roll
Norwich 0 Spurs 2
My Chrystal ball not too good on scorers but an Adrian Bayor pen will be one of them
Got to say, I am getting used to and quite liking the number of times where we are the last team to play. If we know that “3 pts puts us 2nd” it feels a bit like playing the home leg second, knowing what we have to do to get through to the next round.
This season has seen me chuckling more often than not, especially as Spurs always seem to play a day after the other contenders namely LFC and CFC, just need the AFC to join them now for a trifecta of chortles..
That’s a trifecta of titters surely?! 8O
Where are they now ? Former Spurs players.
Very interesting site, Micky Hazard is a Taxi Driver and Ilie Dumitrescu was the coach of PAOK.
Even if we win our next three and the game in hand that’s still barely half a season.
If we don’t buy some top class support for Adebayor then I fear it will be injuries and just the constant wear and tear of games and pressure that could do for us in the end.
Van Der Vaart,King and Gallas are all likely fallers by the wayside.
‘lovin it’ though
