Match Day Thread Tottenham Hotspur v Liverpool

Odds on were a goal down within first 10 mins

 

I wonder which collection of Pool legends Scouse Sports will have as pundits today, my money is on Carragher as co commentator, Scouseknapp, Souness and a special guest of Dalglish in the studio.

 

Yesterday England rugby were underdogs. Nobody expected them to win except the players and the gaffer. Keep the faith.

EDIT: Tin hat, RCL etc. etc.

 

Novichok served at the Novikov ??

 

This man should be our Captain

 

I suspect Poch will not play the same team/system as used on Tuesday. Surely he'll be more defensive away to Liverpool, with 3 CBs, 2FBs and possibly 2 DMs?

Hopefully he will understand the best form of defence is to attack.

 

"Football isn't a matter of life and death,it's more important than that!"

 

He'll get a yellow for his first tackle - to remind him what the script says.

 

Stop quoting the opposition, we have our own history.
"The great fallacy is that the game is first and last about winning. It is nothing of the kind. The game is about glory, it is about doing things in style and with a flourish, about going out and beating that lot, not waiting for them to die of boredom. D.Blanchflower.

 

Actually,I quite agree with Shankly.....and many do too!

 

An intelligent Spurs manager will watch the 2nd half of the fixture last season,
and tell his team to play exactly like that for 90 mins rather than 45 ...

 

…..actually,I've watched many boring games.....with Danny playing....and still turned up for the next match hoping.....

 

So do I Smithy but not today

 

We're unfortunately playing the exact opposite to that... Except the boredom is killing us, not the opposition!

 

Cheer up DH our last game was quite good.

 

It's hard to be cheerful at the moment, Spurf. Think I need a beer

 

Good idea

 

How Spursey, Dyson not beating the first man with a corner

 

Difficult week personally this one.
Coming up on the 25th anniversary of my sons death in 2 weeks and finding it difficult.

Am about to go for a long walk as that always clears my head and Mrs RCL is working away this week so need to get my act together for my teenbeasts sake as she has a big week in 6th form.

Hope the team do us proud and that you all have a great time watching, listening to and chatting about the match.

Will put a bit of RCLing in place in advance.

1. Rose and Aurier *sigh*
2. Why do we always hitghd first defender with corners?
3. Wish Sissoko could shoot straight.
4. Are we allowed to cross the halfway line?
5. What is the actusl point in Eriksen being on the pitch anymore?
6. Will the real Son stsnd up please!
7. Kane is a shadow of his former self.
8. Well...that's top 4 gone...
9. Just 2 away points in 9 months *sigh*

Enjoy (or survive) the match guys
