I was in the CPT for second half Keef, I have a friend who is a Livrpool fan, so joined him for the 2nd half, thought it was the best game of the weekend.

Until a certain FA Cup final and this thread I wished no ill on Liverpool. Something has obviously changed, I found myself in the weirdest place today as I cheered a spurs winner. I feel strangely sullied but Im sticking to my guns on this one.


Mwah. Hah ha. Ha.

Got to say Spurs looked good, lively and attacking. Keane should have had a couple and Lennon looked good. The highlights made Liverpool look a bit at sea (unfair?). Seemed to be Gerrard trying to drag the rest along until Yossi came on. Couple of penalty shouts but hey, you win some, you lose some.


Edit: Sorry, forgot to mention Modric. Excellent game.

Quids, plastic it probably was, but somehow I feel happy with that. I am a bit gutted about the result, but basically, I had a good afternoon of drinking, and I'm a lot less pissed off than I would have been before this thread existed, when I genuinely gave a sh!t.
United didn't look that convincing either. A few flashes and Rooney looked lively and I like him playing as a proper striker but the defence looked shaky at times (something that'll come with getting Vidic back). Owen looked like he needs a bit more fitness but I'm looking forward to seeing him this season and I think the loss of Ronaldo may have given Nani a bit more freedom to do his own thing. I just hope this shoulder injury is sorted out.

Nice one SP. Nice way of setting out the benefits of being without Ronaldo, the hypnotherapy sessions are working? ;-)


I actually thought MU looked a little poor today esp as they were at home.

Liverpool - very poor - oh dear

Chelsea - pretty good but chances not taken

Arsenal - Champions elect.

Well MM I actually believe he is a talented player who has been in Ronaldo's shadow for a couple of seasons. He has had a good pre-season as well but we are all entitled to our opinions. You think Arsenal are going to win the league for instance. ;-)


I think your list is interesting. The two teams with the biggest on field changes (United and Liverpool) are the two poorest performing clubs on the opening weekend. Not a coincidence I think, it'll take time for both sides to find their new shape. I agree about United being poor for a home game but it's three points and we made chances. Liverpool will start firing when Torres and Gerrard are fully fit.

Cmon SP, just thought it was funny how MU fans are trying to see the positive side of Ronaldo leaving.


I think Arsenal have as much to offer as anyone this season - I think they have been quite strong since Arshavin joined and have now got a strong central defender too. Obviously their odds are attractive as not many people fancy them.


Does not mean that will not be humbled tomorrow night of course - but I'm sure they will be big enough to come back from that.....

I thought that last season Mick.


The sooner we get rid of those Yank parasites that have latched on to our club, the better. All we've done this summer is weaken ourselves. I know its a knee jerk reaction, but I'm gutted we played so badly. Not impressed.

Wenger can't stop saying FEAR

Wenger


You expect a massive support at Celtic," admitted Wenger.


"Scotland is always a very special atmosphere, a special noise in the stands. But we have played everywhere in Europe and we can deal with that. It will be down to us and how well we play.


"We don?t go into this game with fear. We go with respect for Celtic, but we know it is a very important game for us and we want to come home with a positive result.


"I always prepare my team first with determination and not with fear. We have played everywhere and have good experience in the Champions League. But every game is different and we know what we will face on Tuesday night ? a very determined Celtic team with quality."

Get 3 against Stoke and we have more points than equivalent games last season.

Losing away at Spurs didn't cost us title, draws at home did.


That said we didn't control the game in any period. Lucas just doesn't open himself for the ball as much as Xabi did. Babel still a headless chicken, Masch walks the borderline of getting sent off every match, Torres looked uninterested and the whole vibe felt different from last year. Our last two semi-fit centre backs injuring each other kind of summed up the day.

Altenativately he could be playing mind games with the big fish in the small pond.

Absolute classic!


A Liverpool Manager complaining about the rough deal his side got away from Home (iho)lmao...


Remember the skeletons in the back of cars thru' The 1960's/70'/80's?


"Died waiting for a Penalty while playing at Anfield!"...summed it up perfectly..:))

2-1 to the Tottenham, 2-1 to the Tottenham 2-1 to the Tottenham, 2-1 to the Tottenham.


I told you you're shortcomings would be exposed and they were. Spurs could have been three up at half-time. What if Torres or Gerrard get injured again? The quality of back up isn't good enough for a club of Liverpool's stature. Glenn Hoddle said a similar thing at half-time and when you look at the two squads Spurs had by far the better subs bench and with a few players injured and to come back probably the better squad. Very pleased with the result and a deserved win.


Come on you Spurs!!!!

    • A bit of a long shot but I'm on the lookout for a portable pop-up counter or podium.   The kind you often see on a high street, used by charities or utility companies to advertise their wares.   I've included a photo to give you the idea. I'm a peckham-based artist and am looking for one for a free (and non-profit) community art project.  It can be in any workable condition and can already have signage on it as we will remove and redecorate ourselves.    Thanks in advance, Linzie
    • No I absolutely did not - that much is clear. Have you read the latest stories about Unite, Len and the hotel in Birmingham? The UK electorate were smart enough to reject a far-left party in 2019, let's hope they are smart enough to reject a far-right party at the next election too. If not we are all doomed.
    • I would also like to add my recommendation for James.  I had taken four names of electricians from the forum - in the order I had read the reviews.  First three no response - even days later. I phoned James this morning. He answered, gave me a time, stuck to it, messaged again 15 mins before arrival.  He fixed my problem on the spot.  Sensible charge out fee. Perfect service.  
    • Most recent polls for the next election suggest it will be a hung parliament, with Reform the largest party by a fair margin. But that is predicated on Reform finding around 300 candidates who are actually electable. Given the number of Reform council candidates who have had to drop out prior to or after the local elections, does that seem likely? Social media is pretty unforgiving when it comes to finding skeletons in cupboards; a retweet or a like seems enough to scupper political ambitions. A few may defect from other parties, but do you think the electorate would really vote for so many brand new MPs from a newish party?  I'm not so sure.
