Nothing changes, I was listening to an interview with Martin Jol a couple of weeks back when I was in the UK and he said that when he was a player he had a side-line selling fake designer gear which he picked up in Holland. Stuart Pearce was his best customer!
I hope nobody at Spurs rises to this petty conflict, I'd stay quiet and let the football do the talking. As for today I'd prefer to catch up on Utd than creep away from Liverpool. We WILL win today so the nearer the top the better.
From the BBC report... Gini Wijnaldum has the honour of getting the game under way... Fifteen minutes of Liverpool passing backwards while Man Utd park the bus later, has it occurred to anyone that this is the latest in a loooooooong line of dull games between the two teams - two teams who happen to provide 90% of pundits?
Sums up the two clubs perfectly that the only thing their boards seem to be talking about is which of the opposition players should have been sent off already.
12.30 kick off on the Saturday after a fortnight's international break. Many of these players have travelled 15,000+ miles in that time. What does anyone expect in a competitive fixture like this?
What's the headline going to be? 'Mouser defense keeps clean sheet against a team that couldn't be bothered to attack them' or 'Maureen renews PSV licence'?
Mousers could have subbed Mignolet at half time as he only had one pass back to deal with in the 2nd half!! Overhyped, dreadful game!
And yet he still had more touches of the ball than Lukaku. The Fellaini team and the Mane team just aren't the same without their star men.
If we can't beat both of these teams easily we need to go back to square one. I'm surprised that they managed to start the game, no one gave a toss.
There seems to be an "inverse law" operating for this fixture now : The more the media and "pundits" try to hype the fixture, the more sh*te the actual game is. Thank God for the NLD.
I like the way managers keep yelling at their players.How can they be heard over the snoring? Such a shame .
Wembley factor concerns me which is why I want a good thrashing of Bournemouth today. If we can do that and beat Liverpool there then the hoodoo has been banished forever.
