Since Bale's gone we are no longer a selling club.

That's because you had no one worth buying :)

Joking aside, you're building a new stadium, and Arsenal were forced to sell players whilst they paid for the Emirates. But with the TV money you indeed might not have to sell, we saw this with Everton over Stones, time will tell...

Saw the pre match stuff on the TV but then listened to part of the match on BBC radio. They commentator was going spare over of all the stuff being throw at the French goalie. Was there any mention of that on the TV?

[Jah Lush]

No.

[Alan Medic]

Nothing dangerous. Crumpled up coloured pieces of paper that went to make the tricolour. Probably Arsenal fans.

Why not be done with it and call him 'Sh1thole'

Haha, I saw that story elsewhere and wondered what you'd make of it.

[Alan Medic]

Does anyone else think that the playing of La Marseillaise before matches tomorrow is a bit too much? They did such a nice job at Wembley (apart from the idiots I previously referred to), I can't help feeling that was enough.

[????]

Yup. Agree.

[Jah Lush]

Totally agree.

[Otta]

Indeed.

[Parkdrive]

Don't see what harm it could do

[red devil]

Me neither, the PL has multi-national, multi-faith players, watched all around the world, it can only send out a positive message...

[Alan Medic]

Regardless of the potential for some idiots to disrespect it, the French national team just played here and a great deal of respect was shown. Do the masses really want to express their empathy with what happened in France by singing their anthem? I doubt it. It's in French. A minutes silence maybe.

[red devil]

People aren't obliged to sing it, La Marseillaise has become more than a national anthem, it's become symbolic of 'we're all in it together' i.e. the borderless fight against IS. There's far more chance of some idiots disrespecting a minutes silence...

Well said

Changing the topic where are you whingers all hiding? I thought that you'd be having a good moan this afternoon.

[Jah Lush]

Some of us aren't playing until tomorrow. Got to say well done the Baggies and the Foxes.

[Alan Medic]

Liverpool 3rd goal beautiful.

Especially Jamie Vardy, 10 out of 10...

[malumbu]

Yes the thing that amused me was that someone on the BBC predicted Leicester to finish bottom. Hmmmm

I thought they were too good to go down last season, and that was proved right.

[Jah Lush]

Very much looking forward to MOTD tonight. Spurs quietly going about their business. Still unbeaten since the opening day. Chelsea next. Always a tricky one but our confidence is growing and I don't see why we can't beat them too. Hopefully end Maureen's reign at the helm.

Obviously, don't want to get carried away as being a lifelong Spurs fan I know it can always go tits up at any point and it usually does but beginning to feel quietly confident that we could be contenders this season.

Anyway, Spammers... how'd you like them apples?

[red devil]

Contenders to win the league?...

I wouldn't go that far...yet. Certainly don't want to get carried away. If Harry gets injured that's a massive blow for us. But we're a young team who are growing together and everyone seems to be singing from the same hymn sheet and hopefully we'll stick together and who knows within the next few years if we continue to grow and make progress under Pochettino, who deserves a lot of credit for the way we're going about out business in bringing in our style of play and bringing the youngsters through I don't see why not.

Getting into the top four and finishing above Arsenal (as an added bonus) would be massive for us this season. I'd be very happy winning one of the cups that we're still in contention for.

With Chelsea having such a poor season so far I don't see why us or Liverpool can't nick their top four spot.

[red devil]

Can't believe it's 10 years. 10 of his best goals...

Jeez! Where does the time go? A footballing genius. Even if you didn't support Man Utd everyone loved watching George.
