  1. Going? I was cooking and half watching before, now I'm actually focused.
  2. Ffs What's your team name? The northerngimps Ah. This is going to sound bad but...I thought you were a bit higher up .
  3. Me and you tomorrow, VI. You're two points ahead, with Krul to play - I've got Mignolet and Moreno. If Moreno doesn't get on, then we're neck and neck and it's Mignolet v Krul. This must be so much more exciting than watching Barcelona...
  4. Mansfield at home when we were in Div 2. Not that I remember anything about it, mind, I was really, really young .

    More pointless than going to the game? Yep. You'll not bother not bothering?

    Well "did it make you look fickle?" and "was it a good campaign?" are not mutually exclusive questions . The answer might be yes to both, and as somebody pointed out, who really gives a fuck if some other fans think you're fickle? You've got far more pressing concerns. It's going to be hard for us to answer that question as we're on this board so much, and so our perception is clouded. Harder still for me, as I'm no longer surrounded by Spurs fans so I can't gauge opinion first-hand. Here's a couple of quotes from the Spurs board I use, though: and another in January: followed by: Ultimately, fans with brains get it. Every club has fickle fans, doesn't mean they're not right from time to time (like a stopped clock). I do think that there are a sizeable number of football fans who are engaged in their club but don't really take that much interest in the details of others. These are the guys who are happy to go along with cliches like "fickle Newcastle United fans" because they don't really care enough whether it's true or not, it just provides a handy stick with which to beat you. I don't think anyone who really thought about it could have argued with SackPardew.com, but quite a lot of fans in general (including Newcastle fans) just don't think about such issues all that much. The key point about SackPardew.com is that it wasn't simply a campaign aimed at getting out a s*** manager. It was, of course, but it was also a campaign that felt it had to draw some of your own fans' attention to his failings, as well as a campaign that was only needed due to (seemingly deliberately) incompetent upper management. The only reason it might have made you look fickle because there really did seem to be a large number of your fans who were happy with Pardew. If they don't exist, then SackPardew is just a group of fans trying to get rid of a failing manager who seemed to be immune from the sack. Nowt fickle about that.
  7. We have been shite, but fuck me, the ref has let them get away with some ropey tackles.
  8. I have absolutely no idea why he doesn't play Lamela and Dembele instead of Chadli and Paulinho. Genuinely don't have a clue.
  9. Everyone has been a bit shit, and he's actually been good off the bench this month. Poch is not exactly winning fans and influencing people recently. He persisted with a line-up that has been failing, even when some players were crying out for a rest. He's persisted with individuals who have been quite clearly underperforming (Chadli since his Dad died, Townsend) and he's proved to be tactically inflexible. It will be interesting to see what he does in the close season, and I wasn't expecting anything other than a (yawn) transitional season, but there are red flags.
  10. It is a sad indictment of the league that if we win this, we go fifth .
  11. I thought picking him for England was ludicrous tbh, or a clear indication that we've got no depth. His first Premiership start was in October FFS. He might end up being good, but it's way too early to tell. Seems like your bog-standard midtable midfielder to me. Me too. I thought Massimo Luongo was better, and he still might be.
  12. I think it's a mixture of age, how good/bad your team is, and the increasing disparity at the top. It's a very different game now, but the first game I went to was in the 70s, so that's hardly surprising.
  13. I know we've got a bit of a comedy line-up today, but we seem to be on holiday already.

  15. Burnley playing the same team they've done all year, while our team is almost completely different. Only Bentaleb and Eriksen started the first game of the season. At the moment, watching us play is like tossing a coin (with Kane as heads, of course). Edit: Forgot about Rose. Three out of 11.
  16. Made it into the top 1000 in the US - that was my target!
  17. Weirdly, none of my H2H oppos even have Austin in the squad, let alone as captain. I thought that was a no-brainer.
  18. Clear yellow. Apart from that, the ref has been very generous to Liverpool this half.
