[????]

had to chuckle at the Spuds debacle,...nearest one to my 8-0 predictions

to be honest the Liverpool result just made me feel sick, I'm still scarred by 2006 and have never watched that game ever on TV. I didn't watch much of the second half in the Millenium, stopped staring at the ground when they put the 2 mins of Injury time board up just in time to see Liverpool pressurise us on the 'pass back# that resulted in Gerrards goal, still think it was a terrible bit of gamesmanship although only Hammers seem to have noticed it

PS I bet MickM never layed that bet on Spurs, the idiot

Yeah, funny that. Having thrown the ball to your player, what exactly would you have had Liverpool do after your player made a rubbish clearence?

Not trying to pick an argument, and would agree that Liverpool got lucky that day, and would have been absolutely gutted had I been a hammer, BUT calling foul play is just wrong.

[????]

Gamesmanship not foul play - threw it back and closed him down instantly

[Otta]

One player made towards him, but slowed and stopped about 10 yards away.

Dunno man.

KK has spent a fortune and won a 'cup' on players he inherited, yet, the eulogies will now have us believe he's the best thing ever #YNWAmyarse

[Otta]

Carroll aside, what money has he wasted on players who haven't played their part?

[Otta]

Forgot to say (and hate to say), fair play to De Gea today, and bad luck Norwich.

[Mick Mac]

Of course I did not lay my Spurs bet.....there is nothing worse than laying off a bet and then hoping your prediction does not happen (spurs don't win). I would not write spurs off entirely. Need someone to support anyway.

As someone who only saw the highlights ledley king was a complete passenger today.

Aaron Lennon hasn't appeared for England since his World Cup flop. I can't see why Lennon should get the nod over Walcott for an England place this season. Lennon has only scored three goals compared to Walcott's eight this season. And when was the last time Aaron has scored a goal for England?

[Jah Lush]

Officially gutted. Fair to play to the scum on the day they were better than us. I thought we were awful even when we were two-nil up. I could see it unfolding. Bollocks is all I can say. Have drowned my sorrows and now gonna hit the sack. Bah!

[Atticus]

Otta, Henderson and Adam have hardly set the world alight, have they?

[Otta]

I think Adam is doing pretty well.

[Chippy Minton]

I might get shouted down a bit on this, but I don't think Suarez has been great. Not in the same waste of money league as Carroll obviously, but even ignoring all the Evra stuff, value for money-wise Bellamy has been a much better signing than Suarez.

[Otta]

Since his ban, Suarez hasn't got his form back, but I think he is quality! Agree though that Bellamy has been a great signing, and I say that as someone who didn't really want to see him back at LFC.

[Atticus]

Well, I disagree but there are two big money signings that we do agree on then.

Really? You can keep your part the Tottenham part of North London mate, you deserve it. By the way Bale is to get a nomination from the diving association of Great Britain apparently he's better at it than Tom Daley, the monkey featured Welsh twat. 2 nil and you fcuked it up. Apparently Lead Boots King doesn't train before a game. Is that right? Well you'd never have guessed it after yesterdays piss poor showing!!! B)

[Jah Lush]

That is the poorest game I've ever seen Ledley King play. Normally he is superb but he didn't look fit at all. Very sad. I hope it's not the end for him. He's been a great servant to our club. As for Bale he should stick to the wing and bring back Lennon on the other side. I thought we really missed him yesterday. Can't understand why he wasn't playing.

[Undisputedtruth]

This article says it all. Arsenal pushing for third place seems doable now.

[Parkdrive]

Maybe, it still requires more of the type of performance they team put in yesterday. I can't for the life of me understand why some of players don't approach all games in the same manner. The joys of being a supporter!!

Well yeah - Redknapp was right when he said "it was one of those days for us"

and Wenger spot on when he said "it would be down to consistency" but anyone could have told him that before the game.

on another note - with Rooney, Cleverly and Bent out surely Pearce has to rethink leaving the Ox in the U21s?

Wenger simly outsmarted Redknapp. This concerns me as he needs to be more tactically aware in the international arena.

Perhaps Pearce is playing it safe for his first game in charge rather than gambling on an inexperienced O-C.

Can anyone help with my crossword? Clue is: North London's 2nd biggest football club. 2 up, 5 down.

[malumbu]

Love all the handbags - why don't you just all meet for an old fashioned pre-arranged punch-up say on Forest Hill Road. Alternatively save the pathetic taunts to comments on Yahoo or Eurosports website. Is anyone capable of some decent banter?

[Undisputedtruth]

Good idea but I'm afraid it will break the EDF's terms and conditions.:))
