Good news for City as well, I'd like to see Arsenal slaughter Spurs and there's a decent chance they will. Spurs must be knackered after yesterday, City have covered Spurs goal difference lately (14 goals in three games) so if Arsenal can stick a few past in Spurs' game in hand I'll be a very happy blue.

First ManUre fan I've from this weekend ! Lol.

Just for you Sandperson


A Man Utd fan dies on match day and goes to heaven in his Man Utd shirt. He knocks on the old pearly gates and out walks St Peter in a City scarf.


"Hello mate" says St Peter, "I'm sorry, no Man Utd fans in heaven."


"What?" exclaims the man, astonished.


"You heard, no Man Utd fans."


"But, but, but, I've been a good man", replies the Man Utd supporter.


"Oh really", says St Peter "What have you done, then?"


"Well" said the guy, "Three weeks before I died, I gave 10 pounds to the starving children in Africa".


"Oh" says St Peter "anything else?"


"Well, 2 weeks before I died I also gave 10 pounds to the homeless."


"Hmmm. Anything else?"


"Yeah. A week before I died I gave 10 pounds to the Albanian orphans."


"Okay", said St. Peter, "You wait here a minute while I have a word with the governor."


Ten minutes pass before St. Peter returns.


He looks the bloke in the eye and says, "I've had a word with God and he agrees with me. Here's your thirty quid back, now fu*k off."

He'll probabably be on the bench. I hate Van Persie coz he nearly always scores against us. Bar steward!


Anyway after the disappointment of Sunday I'm going to the match tomorrow night at White Hart Lane and I'm sincerely hoping we can beat the Arsenal for the first time in the league since 1999. (What of horrible statistic). Should be a bit lively.

Any Gooners or fellow Spurs fans going?

You might feel safer watching it on telly LG but I love the tense atmosphere that the North London derby brings especially when we win.


Also, how come Wilson Palacious who was needlessly booked for a non-penalty on Sunday gets a two game ban but if he'd been sent off would have only got a one game ban. How does that work? We're going to miss him sorely against Arsenal and Chelsea on Saturday. Three games in six days is a bit much too.

WHL - good memories, my first visit there 2nd match after promotion in 1981, evening game, 1000s of us there, 4-0, I don't think we'd played for a few years as we and Spurs had both been in the old 2nd division at different times


Poor memory - 1987ish, Milk Cup or whatever it was, evening game pissing with rain, Lineker got a hatrick at least! (maybe 5-1 to spurs) walking back those seemingly miles to the station in absolutely pouring rain.


To be fair I think the lane retains a decent atmosphere as it's reasonably enclosed, although my visits are derby's and my last one was 2002 (last minute victory for bleedin' Spuds).


I also remember going to a Arsenal V Spurs derby on a whim in mid 1980s with a few of us who supported various teams

I think Redknapp should take a lot of responsibility for Tottenham's performance on sunday. I don't think he motivated the team well enough prior to extra time. A lot of the players were sitting on the ground and I once remember hearing Bobby Charlton saying that Alf Ramsey ensured none of the players did this when England were about to play extra time in the 1966 world cup final. According to Charlton the German players were all knackered and slumped on the pitch but psychologically seeing the England players all still on their feet crushed their morale.
I agree Jah but unfortunately even pro footballers need motivation at times, otherwise why would there be teamtalks in the first place? Once tiredness and fatigue creeps in a few choice words can do the trick and give a boost. The players do need to take responsibility as well though. Bloody Spurs...always flatter to deceive and ultimately never deliver the goods.

I know. It is at times, through thick and thin, a very painful affliction. I'm always a nervous wreck watching Tottenham. Even if we're three up I still feel we can lose and I've been there on a few occasions when that's happened. I already have the fear for tomorrow night but I'll be there just the same.

I have never really enjoy watching them for the reasons you have mentioned. I knew very early in the semi that we were going to lose. There was a loose ball which Bale could have got to if he'd busted a gut but the Pompey player pounced on it like a wild animal catching it's prey. Bale just ambled along and made no attempt to win ball. At that moment I knew we'd lose. I reckon Spurs just thought sooner or later they'd get a couple of goals so no need to panic. Yet I watch Barcelona regularly and the work-rate of their players off the ball is so impressive, especially coming from a group of such talented players.
I remember going to the Lane as a neutral in the mid eighties I think for an end of season top of the table clash v Everton, who won 2-1. Am I right in remembering when I saw them lose 0-1 to Watford I was in the upper tier of a stand that had standing room only? I felt sorry for the Watford family type fans who had to listen to the chants near the end of the game that they were 'going to get their heads kicked in'. Once saw them beat QPR 5-0 in a VIP's season ticket seat. David Puttnam. My friend was his driver. Only time I was a victim of football violence was on the tube on the way there to see ManU. I got kicked my a ManU fan! I liked the Lane apart from it being too far from the tube and a bit scary outside the ground in those days.

So City fans, hope you don't need the 3 points on the last day of the season


Tevez?s views on that return to West Ham on May 9 are likely to provoke further debate. ?It is unthinkable that I will score a goal that will send West Ham to relegation,? he argues passionately. ?Their supporters feel football; they are passionate, these people invested great support in me.


I wish to play again for West Ham before I finish my career. I have some unfinished business there. To score such a goal against them would change my

    • Eh? That wasn't "my quote"! If you look at your post above,it is clearly a quote by Rockets! None of us have any  idea what a Corbyn led government during Covid would have been like. But do you seriously think it would have been worse than Johnson's self-serving performance? What you say about the swing of seats away from Labour in 2019 is true. But you have missed my point completely. The fact that Labour under Corbyn got more than ten million votes does not mean that Corbyn was "unelectable", does it? The present electoral system is bonkers, which is why a change is apparently on the cards. Anyway, it is pointless discussing this, because we are going round in circles. As for McCluskey, whatever the truth of that report, I can't see what it has to do with Corbyn?
