Have no idea where to mention this but was just washing up and had talksport on and as I turned it on Jason Cundy was saying how Pochettino would suit united and they should break the bank to get him...he said exactly the same about Kane in the summer...he really comes across as a bitter twat of a man who hates spurs doing well
It would never have got passed me...not cos of my cat like reflexes but cos I used to be a real fat bastard!
Cant believe the difference in this team...we made them look woeful after the first 20 minutes last week yet they look back to their best in the first hour of this match...would be great if they can keep it up
"Cant believe the difference in this team" The Goons don't play a pressing game, and rarely have CM steel.
Just checked their fixture list. They will have an easier set of games to dust themselves off before playing the Poool away. The next four games will ask a lot about Spurs however.
Arsenal getting their annual Southampton spanking. Interesting game for the refs. They let Arsenal get away with murder, up to and including drawing blood, which made the game get out of control. You could feel the desire to see Arsenal go top Boxing Day. But after the second, you could feel them saying to Arsenal, "You’re on your own, fellas." They weren’t going to waste anymore slanted officiating on a lost cause. If ever there was a team that dictated the tactics to use against them, it’s Arsenal. Give them some time and space, and they will pick you apart. No one is better around the 18 yard box. On the other hand, they’re a team of small finesse players who don’t like being pressed. No fair quoting the entire American high school world history text.
You can see how badly Arsenal needed the refs today. Without them they were helpless. That first goal was an easy goal of the year candidate. It curled more than any shot I’ve seen outside of Roberto Carlos’ famous free kick. Extra points for curling outside the post, then back into the side netting. There’s something weirdly predictable about Arsenal. Just when you think they’re going to collapse, they win four straight. Just when you think they’ll win the league, they get stuffed.
"There’s something weirdly predictable about Arsenal." The only predictable thing about the Goons is that they will have a title-winning (sic) run of form when their precious CL slot is under threat.
And to think, the other day I heard some Goons crowing about how they had a better goal difference than any other team in the Premier League...
