For the NLD, it’s a re-write of the incomparable Norah Jones song, “Don’t Know Why”…… Let’s hope the near-drought comes to an end in this game! I fear the worst, but couldn’t bring myself to predict a defeat – not in this game! If you're feeling down, just relish her wonderful, relaxing voice for a few minutes..... I waited for some more from Son - I don't know why goals just don’t come! If Vince scored, we’d have lots of fun - I don't know why goals just don’t come! I don't know why goals just don’t come! Hopes are high on each match day Even when we play away…. But when we get a team on toast We always seem to hit the post*! My hopes are in decline, ’Cos goals are on my mind, Whatever! If we beat The Enemy, I would sing in ecstasy; But, when all is said and done, I’d be happy with one-one. My hopes are in decline, ’Cos goals are on my mind, Whatever! Walker scores one on the run! But other goals don’t seem to come - I feel frustrated, very glum, ’Cos other goals don’t seem to come. I don't know why goals just don't come! * or the crossbar! Prediction: Woolwich Wanderers 1 Spurs 1 Scorer: Walker Cheers, Spurf!
The Optimism Express seems to have run out of steam I'm afraid. To my mind, the worst possible result from this game would be a draw - as it will simply allow us to maintain the status quo and continue papering over the cracks. Part of me also wants us to avoid a narrow victory for the same reasons, unless it is thoroughly deserved. Maybe a humiliation will finally get the message through to this group of players that they seriously need to up their games if this season is going to be a success. I'm predicting a defeat for the first time since I joined this forum. 2-0
I'm really not looking forward to going to their hovel on Sunday. Usually I go with a hope of nicking a result, this time I can only see a battering for us. Hope I'm wrong!! Woolwich 4-1 Spurs Jansen
Agree entirely, sadly. But papering over the cracks or not, I'd still take another draw! 2-0 Arsenal. Koscielny & Sanchez
That's Pochettino at the Emirates right? Bit much to be so specific when it includes 3 different teams he's managed. Pochettino's not lost their with us.
