It's Liverpool v Man Utd this weekend then we play them both one after the other in the PL. These sort of sequences often follows Spurs throughout the seasons and I don't know if they're good or bad omens or just coincidences. Now a win against Bournemouth and I mean a good win sets us up nicely for the next three very difficult matches, matches I just would not like to predict. Liverpool have had the better of it recently and at Wembley I don't feel good but I'm confident of a result at Trafford.
I hope you are right, a guy who works at Kigali airport for KLM bet me US$100 that Manure will take 6 points off Spurs this season. I'm next in Kigali on the 21st December, if he doesn't want to pay me I'll take a free upgrade to Business Class instead, he's the guy on the computer handling the bookings so it shouldn't be much of an issue. A draw at Old Toilet would do for me to win the bet, but a victory would be the icing on the Christmas cake.
The BBC Sport website is inviting readers to pick the best current combined Liverpool/Utd XI. Strangely, they gave four options for goalkeeper! And they weren't all David de Gea!
Far be it for me to break up this United goalkeeper love in, but Arsenal seem to be making progress in in extending Mesut Ozil's contract. Short of Wenger committing to another 5 years, this is the best of good news. Now, extend little Theo's contract and the job's a good'un. .
I've got some bad news on this front, the goons are bringing in Overmars as DoF (I guess Danny Rose turned the job down) and Wenger has previously said that he won't work with a DoF, so I see the likelihood of some changes there or a large dose of poisoned lasagne at the training camp. To make things worse, Overmars is currently employed at our feeder club, Ajax, I hope they don't get first shout on the youngsters coming through. Looks like the goons are resorting to Henry Norris tactics.
If we progress in out-performing the Goons in the PL each season, or they now have a regular dose of "Spursday" football, then they will not be an attractive proposition to Ajax players regardless of Overmars or Spurs wage structure.
Save us! The sky favourite narrative is in full swing, for example: 1) It doesn't matter how many times in the last N seasons we've finished above Liverpool, matches like this will always be talked in terms of whether this might end the Liverpool "title challenge" regardless of how unlikely that is. 2) It doesn't matter how **** previous matches between these teams are, it will always be described as a "cracking" game, or words to that effect.
please log in to view this image Arsenal's Theo Walcott and Danny Welbeck have been preparing for Saturday's game at Watford in a cryotherapy chamber, where players are exposed to temperatures as low as -150C for a few minutes to shock the body and help aid their recovery <BBC> My immediate thoughts were : 1. Are those masks used to help improve their breathing in places with lack of atmosphere, such as the Library. 2. That is one sh*te Altern-8 tribute act.
Agreed but on paper it's the match of the day and a chance for us either to creep up on Utd or pull away from Liverpool. I want a THRASHING of Bournemouth.
And on a philosophical note, can you thrash a team without scoring? I would say we thrashed Swansea (apart from the obvious missing thing(s)).
The interweb is convinced that, with injures to Kante and Drinkwater, the Chavs will start Ethan Ampadu. Says a lot that none of them thought of the decidedly non-injured Bakayoko or Fabregas...
Felipe Luis channels his inner @O.Spurcat : http://www.marca.com/en/football/spanish-football/2017/10/12/59df22fd268e3eed4a8b458a.html "Eighty percent [of players] live in a bubble, especially the young players. "They believe that if they go around with a branded bag under their arm, 400 euro shoes and eight tattoos, that they will already be stars and that people will respect them. "They forget the real world out there."
OOOH! Deli wants a pay rise. What is a 21 year old doing with the tens of thousands he's being paid at the moment? ....and City manager calling Spurs "Harry Kane Hotspur!" Well that one could be partly true but don't City rely on Aguero (or what ever his name is) for their goals?
Yep, 6 league goals this season so, if you ignore Sterling (5), Jesus (4) and Sane (3), they totally rely on him.
