Not exactly the sort of music to pump you up!

Shame Chas and Dave are no longer performing!

Think it'll be after the game if anything

 

[Art Vandelay_]

2-0 up and United tears. Good start to the 2nd half.

 

[Art Vandelay_]

Held on for the win which was nice. Unbeaten at home and now we move to Wembley.
Gonna stay up for the post game ceremony, want to see what Levy has to say.

 

[jd2010]

Pretty amazing scenes at the final whistle. Hopefully it doesn't delay things too long

 

[Art Vandelay_]

Ryan Giggs made a good point. Need strength in depth and with a young squad someone with experience would be useful, especially if it were someone with CL experience.

I agree with him.

Any of blokes watching this send off. You're a liar if you're not a bit teared up right now.

I can be as harsh a critic of levy as anyone but he knows how to put on a show. Full faith the new stadium won't be a library like the other two new London stadiums

 

[Art Vandelay_]

Couldn't have scripted that better.

 

[evolutionbaby]

By my reckoning our record against the top teams is: 4W 3D 3L
That's progress by any measure. The only criticism is slow starts that have cost us potentially 2 titles if you were to be hyper critical.
Somehow have to get that right and not suddenly wake up by game 7.

 

[jd2010]

Yeah pups was critical of our record against the top 6

15 points from 10 games is a pass for me. Not great but definitely a pass

 

[WealstoneRaider]

4,3,3 is probably ok but only ok when you consider we are finishing 2nd. Totted it up over the last two seasons (against the same five clubs) and we are 7,9,4. That's gotta be a big improvement against those established sides for us.

 

[Art Vandelay_]

Doubt I'll watch that just the once.

 

[WealstoneRaider]

Eriksen voted our PotY. Well deserved. Dele can consider himself unlucky though

 

[Art Vandelay_]

kangaspurs I guess we were right. The one we cannot at present replace in the squad.

Is it Pups who doesn't rate Eriksen highly?

 

[Art Vandelay_]

Is it Pups who doesn't rate Eriksen highly?

Yes. For not performing in big games.

 

[Bumpswithagrin]

This made me wish I'd taken the chance to go to a game there when I was over in London in the 80s and 90s... too late now (only been to Highbury would you believe!)

How many of you have been to a match there?

Also, they keep saying all this 'Farewell to White Hart Lane' stuff but won't the new stadium still be called White Hart Lane?

Naming rights sponsors likely.

I hate all that crap

800m building cost needs to come from somewhere though.

800m building cost needs to come from somewhere though.

I know.

 

[go you pups]

Have saved the page number in my notes for reference. List is currently at 14 let's take some bets on what it'll get up to

WealstoneRaider - 48
Jd2010 - 52
Doctor Gero - 87

kangaspurs - 68

Anyone else knock yourselves out

44

Our away record against them I was. Particularly at Stamford Bridge and Anfield. I know we are historically s**t at these grounds, but we have not won there in ages and struggle picking draws up normally also. These two teams were poo last year and we couldn't even salute, heck our record against Liverpool as a whole is horrendous since Rodgers went there, that needs to change.

We had a horrible record at Old Trafford too, but at least we won twice recently there with half of our current first team under previous management, so I have hope we can play good footy at OT in the future. We've drawn our last couple at the Emptycrates too and obviously beat City at City last year also, those grounds aren't as big a bogey as Stamford Bridge and Anfield.

On the flip side, we very rarely lose to these teams at home now. Only one defeat against Chelsea and arsenal at home in the last ten years - unbeaten vs United since 11/12. Doing better away is the next step though.

I went nearly every second week when I was over there. Got disillusioned when we had Sherwood in charge and didn't go that much. Almost gave up on us in the line in the sand game against Newcastle in Poch first season. But then he got rid of the trouble and Kane and Mason led us to the cup final.
