Guest gggg Posted October 21, 2007 Share Posted October 21, 2007 We'll be handed 3 goals from their defence at least which should be enough. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChezGiven Posted October 21, 2007 Share Posted October 21, 2007 Havent read the thread but just read this quote from Jol. ""We had European football for the last two years and they (Newcastle) didn't. It would be fantastic for them if they were in the first six or seven, playing European football next season would be a good achievement for them. We already did that twice so it's different. We are in the group stages of the UEFA Cup and they would love to do that as well." Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NSG Posted October 21, 2007 Share Posted October 21, 2007 Aye, we haven't played European football in the past two seasons.... Two 5th place finished in god knows how long and he reckons we're jealous of them. Come back when you've taken Spuds into the Champions League, you potato headed cunt.

Or he could have said "we're really jealous of Newcastle because we didn't have to blame losing out on our one chance of getting into the Champions League on a case of the tom tits'" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ohmelads Posted October 21, 2007 Share Posted October 21, 2007 Well there's only one team thats going to be geared up by those comments. My first thoughts when I read them as well. If I were Sam I'd be showing these comments to the players before the game. Reminds me of a few years ago when Dyer was backing himself in the press to dislodge Scholes from the England team, right before a game with Man Utd. Scholes came out and taught him a lesson in football. Jol really isn't in a position to be making these sorts of comments. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So they can get a new manager in that will take them to the next level? Well, thats IF they can, do we believe they can attract a world class manager? London club with money and lots of potential?

80 Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 "You see their strikeforce - (Obafemi) Martins is awesome, (Mark) Viduka is one of the most skilful number nines in the league, (Alan) Smith is suspended but the best finisher is still probably Michael Owen.

We are in the group stages of the UEFA Cup and they would love to do that as well." I don't think he watched much English football before he came over. Not sure why he would make these comments. We weren't the only ones feeling his wrath: "The only conclusion you can make over the last couple of years is that teams like Aston Villa, Manchester City - they would be delighted to be in the top six." I think most teams outside the top 4 would be delighted with that. Anyhoo. I'm a little nervous about this one because I feel it is a must win game. To stay within reach of Blackburn, Pompey and Chelsea we need to pick up as many points as possible while were healthy and a full squad. We're jammed up at Christmas, so winning now could alleviate some pressure in the future. Spurs are due a win, and as stated before, we usually surrender those wins. Hope things are different tomorrow, should be an exciting match. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest teepee Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 this match is extremely important for us imo - we need to show that we are capable of beating our direct opponents for 5th-8th at home. spurs have some brilliant players, but we've looked slightly better than them this season. this is a big night for our defenders - they need to show their worth now! as for the line up, i hope that both emre and zoggy will start as they are the ones who can provide that bit of creativity that is needed to win this one. 2-1 may be it, but i am a bit anxious Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
