Matchday 25

[Art Vandelay_]

Giving Bournemouth a fighting chance?

Giving Bournemouth a fighting chance?

Should be favourites.

 

[Art Vandelay_]

Not with Boruc in goal

 

[Stevi_Tigers]

arse should win this quite comfortably

 

[Tulip]

Well yeah five points isn't much. It's less than two games when you break it down simply. We're getting key players back so if we get our arse into gear, you never know what will happen. Same with City if they realise you need to defend to win too.

If Spurs had the injuries we had for instance, they'd be a lot worse off. If they lose Kane, they have no back up, crucial they keep him fit. Obviously all hypotheticals, but had they received injuries to the extent some other clubs have, they wouldn't be where they are.

We lost Sanchez and Coquelin (Kos too for a period) - two of our most valuable players, and Cazorla who was in very good form prior to his injury. If Spurs lost say (in terms of importance), Kane, Lloris and perhaps Alderweireld or Alli, they would be worse off IMO.

We've kept Kane fit...but Vertonghen, Dembele, Son, Chadli, Mason, Bentaleb and N'jie have all been out long term. The first three are crucial to our lineup, the next four are or have become backups. What is separating us from the likes of Arsenal right now, less than injuries, is the absolute desire to win and the belief they can do it.

Not with Boruc in goal

Maybe if he stopped spitting on his gloves then maybe he'd catch the ball one of these days

 

[WealstoneRaider]

C'arn the cherries!!

 

[Magma]

arent those leaping two footed challenges meant to be red cards?

As if Kevin Friend would give a red card this early in a game.

Flamini seemed awfully grateful at the yellow....

Got the ball cleanly and early, only thing that saved him

didnt think that mattered at all. i thought it was if you went in two footed, that was it. or has that changed/never existed?

 

[Tulip]

That is disgraceful refereeing IMO. Took Paulista to stop play, without the ball!

 

[Latro]

Kevin Friend is a moron.

I think it should depending on the circumstances, etc like getting the ball first and early as what Flamini did

 

[Art Vandelay_]

time for bed.

 

[Latro]

time for bed.

Why not enjoying the game?

 

[Art Vandelay_]

Why not enjoying the game?

I was two minutes ago...

 

[go you pups]

******* awful teamwork from Bournemouth

You should never concede just after you already conceded like that

 

[Wildrig]

Boom

 

[Wildrig]

I was two minutes ago...

With this team it could finish 8-8

 

[go you pups]

Great save from Cech, decent strike

 

[Wildrig]

Flamini off for Coq at the half , will get himself sent off otherwise

 

[I Lost My Keays]

Bournemouth have looked good in the last 10 minutes

 

[The_Big_Ship]

Bed time, Bournemouth will probably go nuts in the 2nd half and win 4-2
