Match Day Thread Tottenham Hotspur v Manchester City

Not at all. I do believe the sacks imported by Baldini during his transfer shopping spree also contained 'a helping of wooden replicas'. Good to see the practice alive and well after all these years.

 

There was another sportsman called Alli? I'll have to look him up. Was he any good?

You're right though - looks like a certain way to stop the Alli nutmeg.

 

This brings back very painful memories of the "Gerry Francis rejects Zidane as he is too wooden" story. Earlier this week I heard that we rejected Ruud van Nistelwhatsit after having him on trial, way before United signed him. We really have got it good now when compared with those days!

On a separate topic and returning to Sunday's game, Sky Sports have an article rating the best under 21 player in Europe this season. The winner? Step forward........Raheem Sterling.

I wonder if there's an award to go with the prestige? If there is, maybe Danny Rose and Kyle Walker will let him off their leash to enable him to collect it. They own his cowardly ass.

 

Don't forget Suarez !

Too much like Van Der Vaart for us

 

Wasn't a large part of that decision because Ian Broomfield thought that he was mental and dangerous as well as brilliant?

He did have a point.

 

Defenders should be side-on anyway. If they're face-on and getting nutmegged then they have poor position fullstop

 

Oh Dier.

 

Actually laughed at that, sad as that is
