  1. That's three hat-tricks in nine games for Harry Kane and I don't think he is finished.
    (BBC Football Live)

    I wonder if Zlatan has ever done that?

    @Skylarker do you have any stats to help us, mate?

    It was not me that compared Zlatan to Kane. I think you've mistaken me for an idiot?
    Kane and Zlaten should never be in the same sentence.

    Zlatan probably doesn't have to rely on deflection's (I'd probably say it was going off target, so technically it shouldn't be his goal).

    Wenger is also a master at balancing the books and keeping us in the black, but that comes at a cost when you are servicing a £750m debt, which usually impacts on your ability to keep your best players and pay the going rate for the best replacements. As mentioned, an alternative route is to develop youth, but they don't always come to fruition and it's a long term project, which impacts on keeping your current players happy.

    Depending on what figures you look at, the comparative net spend of Arsenal and Spurs is very little, once source gives it as being nowhere near the £60m you cited, and lists it at £9m. In the last 5 years your net spend is one of the best in the league, but you benefited from the cash windfall from the Bale sale which kind of skews those figures. As for wages, if you manage to qualify for the Champions League regularly, then you will have to pay the players accordingly, the top players demand the top wages.

  6. My bad, mate. In fact, I see that it was @Zanjinho who was suggesting that Zlatan could teach Kane a few things about being a striker. Sorry, mate. I never intended to wum, as you know.

    I suppose the kinds of things that Zinjinho was thinking about are scoring hat-tricks in a 23 mins period of blistering genius, or scoring three hat-tricks in 9 games. That kind of thing.

  7. Spurs 4 v 0 Stoke
    (Half-Time)

    I hope that we can hold on to this.

  8. Stoke have three players in the ref's book. Spurs have none.

    I see a greater onslaught from us in the second half.

    4-0 for Spuds against Stoke in the last 3 games. This is more exception than rule.

    Losing 12-0 on aggregate to anyone over three games is quite embarrassing.
    Their fans must be getting to hate seeing that fixture coming up.
    Two of them have been at their ground, too. Questions will be asked of Hughes now.

    You do see how you've contradicted yourself there, surely?

    Spurs winning 4-0 is a massive exception and that can happen only against Stoke city..

    I did have that rule in back of my mind while posting - Stoke losing 4-0 is rule.

    That was the 8th time this season we've scored 4 goals or more. Pretty unexceptional exception.

  19. Have I wummed by accident, again?

    I'm trying so hard to go straight, lads. I really am.

    Don't worry, though. I am going to pay a penance in order to atone for my inappropriate behaviour.
