Absolutely District, derbies contribute to what makes being a Spurs/ Arsenal/ Chelsea/ West Ham fan so special. Last season was arguably the best ever league season in terms of drama right from the top to the bottom of the league. Lets hope this one can match or even better it.
Totally agree Notso. "Transition" seems to be a pre-excuse (if that makes sense :S) for IF we don't achieve what should be our targets. It's as if some are all ready preparing for failure. Have faith in the lads Spurs fans, have faith.
Fair point Spurf, fair point. I think being 22 and supporting Spurs has made me age twice the speed of that to a non-Spurs fan. My heart is f*cked all ready!
OK Transformation then, that better? Yes it has crossed my mind about all the managerial changes at Chelsea but it did cost them. When did they last win the league? With the special one they were up there all the time. Arsenal have Wenger, Man U have SAF ie stability. We do not have that luxury. It's not like for like. Spurs are nearly, nearly a top four team, the others are recent Champions they slip and have slpped but from a greater height. If we slip as they have all done we could end up 7th So your argument is bogus smart, try again.
Bogus! ???...Au contraire Mr. Spurf! Chelsea - Ancellotti did their first double not JM, plus I'm not suggesting winning the league, only CL Qual. The goons and uniteds managerial position does help agreed, but they still dealt with team overhauls without dropping too much. And had the Chavs not got CL by default, or the goons with one man show RVP, I can't see their fans being accepting of less...unlike the Scousers whose predicament you conveniently chose not to comment on! Bogus!...
Carlo came in and won the double, not suggesting for one minute we can or should emulate that, but upheaval clearly doesn't = a drop the following season...not bogus...fact!
As much as I hate West Ham it's one of my favourite fixtures of the year. Hopefully with all 4 doing well it will be good for the city. This is probably as close as we've all been although there is a bigger gap between West Ham and the other 3, I still think the Spammers will get midtable though It's not too late to come to the light and leave the dark side....
There is no way the refs will allow that to happen. The Man Utd v Wigan/Stoke v City/QPR v Chelsea games set the tone for the season. The refereeing in the Spurs/Chelsea v United games last season was scandalous
What grinds my gears is Seth McFarlane doesn't even want to do American Dad, even though it's better than Family Guy. It's also better than The Cleveland Show, but then again so is sitting on a broken beer bottle...
There is that but the media aren't glossing over it like they used to. I can't see United or the refs getting away with it if they have to carry them through too many games.
I disagree. There was barely a mention of Welbecks dive against Wigan, they just glossed over it by ****ing over Scholes 700th game or whatever it was and the new signings all scoring. In light of the Hillsnorough findings they did not want to be too harsh on Liverpool and rightly so so Suarez got off lightly for his behaviour.
There were plenty using the magic "d" word to describe Welbeck's tumble, which doesn't often happen and there was a lot of focus on Ashley Young and refereeing decisions in general after United were getting given everything at the end of last season. It might help if someone in the game compiles a United Refereeing dossier, similar to the one Fat Sam made a few years back too
Welbeck is as bad as Young for diving just not as blatant, if a City/Chelsea/Arsenal player had done that there would be uproar on the back pages. As for a United refereeing dossier, you'd spend enough time just doing the Spurs chapter alone
Welbeck dived repeatedly in that game. Scholes also made a number of very dodgy challenges. I'm completely unsurprised that they escaped without punishment, though.
