Cheers

Loves it... I hope Chelsea and Spurs keep going well in the CL. Chelsea are more experienced so should be able to balance the two but I can see Spurs dropping lots of points because there heads are turned a little by the glory of europe.

Now all we gotta do is keep winning.

Ah thanks so much Jod. I was really having a crap morning due to Spurs but you have instantly put a massive smile on my face.

We were crap - no doubting that but we drop points because we are missing half our first 11 not because our heads are turned.

you're banking on that???

 

[Coledinho]

you're banking on that???

That along with the introduction of a 48 game season, point deductions for Chelsea for tapping up Torres and Luka Modric being kidnapped by aliens from Squazahomage for anal probing

Chelsea won 2-0 in the CL. Lucky EW switched teams.

 

[ShearMagic9]

Hahaha.

You're forgetting that they actually won against Wigan.

Wigan's goal was offside and therefore it was Liverpool 1-0 Wigan.

The league table will be adjusted shortly.

 

[Borgsta]

Hahaha.

Bassong

The look on his face was priceless. Just like 'Oh wow that was stupid'

Tbh, like most French players he's a confidence player.

Sitting on the bench all of the time probably doesn't do anything for his confidence - and with his rare opportunities he's probably trying too hard to impress, because he is a very good defender.

Probably in his best interests to move away somewhere where he's going to get regular first team football.

agree

[Deledinho]

Blackpool!

Spurs midfield has a serious lacks of creativity. Even when modric is playing. You need a few players in attack who can split defences.

 

[BarcaRulz]

Linesman!

waitwut?

 

[Jessica Watson]

Nah, nothing to do with a linesman here.

But in all seriousness, LOLSpurs!

 

[AG]

Huddlestone has been a big loss. Good player. Spurs have had some pretty big injuries this season and are doing well to hang in for the CL spots.

 

[Godzke]

The fallout from this board if Spurs take 4th off Chelsea will be 10x the size of Liverpool dropping out of the 4 last year.

Red hot favourites were the Blues at the start of the season.

 

[Jessica Watson]

Torres.

 

[borgsta2006]

very pissed off today after watching that first half, apparently we dominated the second half but couldn't score....

 

[centrelink1]

Spurs are ****ing gay and shit.

 

[Jessica Watson]

Pathetic. Just pathetic.

Oh and inb4JWusualtrollingthatturnsintocomparingspursandliverpool.

No comparison necessary.

Spurs are ****ing gay and shit.

unlucky Wigan!

Yes and No. I didn't get to see the match this morning but I can see your viewpont when I look at the team sheet:

Jenas - Probably the biggest tease of a footballer on the planet. Always looks so bright on the ball but is physically unable of creating a decent attacking move.

Palacios - Handy to have if we are trying to 'save' a game, but has no attacking side to his game at all; Not really an issue if he is played to his position.

Pienaar - Hard working, yes. A good squad player, yes. However I wouldn't rely on him to spark a win.

Lennon - Benefits the most when we are at our attacking best. When he is utilised by our creative players he looks a million dollars. Games like this morning when he doesn't have the quality around him, he turns to water.

Kranjcar - Limited opportunities to flourish and either plays great or poorly. I'm just gonna assume it was the latter this morning.

On the flipside, when we have our settled line up I think we have one of the more creative midfields in the league.

THudd - Pretty defencively inept for a CDM however his vision and range of passing is often the catalyst for a lot of our attacking moves.

Modric - Is very, very, very good. I don't think I really need to explain his worth.

VDV - This season, he has often been the difference between us looking bright and looking dull. Aside from his goals, he is very creative in the attacking third. If we had a competent striker he would have had a lot more assists this year IMO.

Lennon on the right in this midfield becomes much more relevant.

We won't make top four, that's almost a given, though next year we will prove we're a better team than Spurs and Chelski.

On a side note, as said before, I don't think Tottenham will adapt to playing tough European clashes, then travelling away in the premier league.

Nah, you won't prove anything. You're too shit.

We had a weeks break between matches. I think we have a decent record of EPL games after our CL games.

Huddlestone, VDV, Bale.

All missing from last night. Together with Modric and Lennon we have enough creativity.

Cool. *insert sixth character*
