To be fair, Stalteri's late winner at West Ham is still one of my favourite goals of all time...and he essentially did just that.
-
That Welbeck miss just before Bellerin scores is amazing .

Pre-season predictions: http://www.bbc.com/sport/football/37040156 Fair play to Jenas. Only Dean Saunders and him had Man U out of the top four, and only Jenas had us second.

Somebody went back and checked. Supposedly we're the only team to do so ever (back to 1888) and not win the league. Presumably not all that many teams have managed +60 full stop. Apologies but I'm clearly never going to shut up about this . It's apparently the fourth highest ever Premier League GD: 1st - Chelsea 2009/10 +71 2nd - Man City 2013/14 +65 3rd - Man City 2011/12 +64 Man Utd's Highest GD in the PL is +58, Liverpool's is +51 and Arsenal's is +51.

Spanish officials have to be the worst in Europe, and there's a fair bit of competition.

Is there a bigger cockend in football, than a certain John Terry?

Oh we did that a long, long time ago. -

I don't want this season to end tbh.

They're all injured, aren't they?

Imagine finishing above a team seven times in the last eight years, and still getting shown fewer times than them. Liverpool shown more times than anyone, including us and the Arse.
-
It's almost being taken as a given that we will struggle at Wembley. I hope not, but I understand the thought process. I believe we may have just had the best home season by anyone ever (17-2-0) so it's not like we're going to replicate that .
-
For most games yeah, but I still think he gets exposed defensively against the best teams. There's a lot of us that would be perfectly happy to take silly money for Walker and promote Trippier though. Kyle Walker-Peters would become the back-up, and he might be able to make the step up.
-
Hopefully we can persuade players that we essentially need two first XIs - league and cups. If we can get Lamela back fit then at a stroke that solves a lot of problems. I actually really like Janssen, and think he will do fine. Got some kids coming through too. Like you say, the first order of business will be to replace anyone we sell. I'd prefer we kept everyone. Best case scenario - Lamela is back and we don't sell anyone. We'll probably be in the hunt for a CB, and maybe a pacy forward like Iheanacho. Anything else would be a bonus.
-
Paper talk, supposedly. Although Poch has said he liked Sigurdsson in the past.
-
Didn't realise he'd bagged that many. That's mental for someone who's not a guaranteed started every week He's not given enough credit in analysis imo, he's great. He should really have scored considerably more - he's missed so many sitters.
-
What's the difference between a league and a division? I can't be sure, I've always thought that technically a league is classed as the whole set of divisions within it. e.g. The Football League. Yeah, you divide a league up into divisions. It's not always the case (but it should be!).
-
He pretty much said in an interview the other day that Leicester said they would let him leave this summer if he stayed this year. Reckon he might go to someone like Tottenham if Lamela/Sissoko both leave. Forgot Lamela existed He just had an operation, might need another. Would be nice to get him back next year.

Never predicting a single defeat is crackers like, but they've beaten all of the top 6, so you'd probably be forgiven for thinking they'd be able to beat teams lower down as well on a match by match basis. Yeah, but they often don't beat them, so you could argue the other way too. He's biased towards Liverpool, we all know it, there's really not a lot of argument to be had there . He predicted them to get into the Champions League last year on match-by-match predictions and they finished 8th. Without a doubt. It's just not as bad as people make out imo. Agreed. I'm never going to let any pro-Liverpool bias slide though .
-
Agree with this, there's a lot of people who don't really understand the difference between diving and overreacting to contact ( but still a foul). I'm interested to see how they are going to rule on things like that. It's my main reservation. A good idea in principle but I fear it will cause more problems than it solves. Also, they had better make sure they review every single free-kick, or every "play-on", in every game. Not just the "big" incidents.

Given away a few of mine. I used to buy strips from a place in Letchworth in the 80s. Still have my Spurs 1980-81 shirt from when I was a kid and the yellow one from the 1982 final, plus assorted Spurs kits from the last 35 (Jesus) years. Still got Boca and River Plate original Adidas shirts from the 80s, plus an Australia away shirt from the early 90s (I think). Got a nice Fiorentina home shirt from the 80s too plus a non-descript Orient one that mainly means something because Alan Comfort wore it. For some reason my all-time favourite kit is a purple Kappa Spurs away one. Probably because I used to look good in it. The days of me looking good in a skin-tight Kappa kit are long gone.

Disgusting Robbie Keane bias. Yup, you got me, I actually kinda liked the crappy cartwheel.

Never change, La Liga I'd agree, only the idiots sometimes end up reffing us in Europe.

Probably my second least favourite goal celebration behind Sturridge.
