Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

We got what we deserved mate, nothing. You had more fight and passion than us. I've got no complaints over the "handball" either. The gooners winning by 2 puts us back in second, which is a better end to the day than I expected. Beating the Aussies today was fantastic as well!

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

You've said some daft things but this is really up there. Every time a London based rival loses you're in here berating their players or managers. If they've beaten spurs you hide for half a year. You made a prediction that Spurs would beat Arsenal 7-0 and they ended up beating you. You still haven't offered an explanation on that yet..

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

YESSSS!!!! Great result. Needed a win really to avoid being the crisis club. Also gives us some distance from the chasing pack which is vital considering the run we have coming up.

Was never a red card. There were covering defenders. Yes it was intentional, it was a cyclical attempt to stop a counter attack. Liverpool did it to us as well in the game but it was further back and hence a card was avoided. A yellow was a deserved card.

Liverpool were always going to struggle when they finally came up against one of the top sides. ;)

omg they open analysis with 'Liverpools poor performance'. when will there be pundits on MOTD able to praise Arsenal. Gary, a Spur is the only one able to praise which sums it all up. :sleep:

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

I don't mind. Would rather the hype machine runs cool for now. I want praise at the end of season to be honest and there is a long, long, way to go. I think they're right that we have to see how we do against City and Chelsea.

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

remember Owen saying

BT Sports was a lot easier to watch today without his voice.

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

I think that is right. Still long way to go, and the question is still open about winning the league, which was the question asked.

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

Yes. Personally I think we will fall short of winning the league. I think Chelsea and Manchester City have so much depth in their squad that they'll have an edge over us as the season goes on. It might even be better that we exit the Champions League in the group stage as opposed to having those tiring and all consuming matches in February. Traditionally we've picked up quite a lot of injuries in those and had a confidence blow. It would be better to have entire weeks off whilst Chelsea, City and United have to deal with those games instead.

I do think Arsenal are where Dortmund were at a few years ago. There is some obvious promise there and if we can keep the squad and manager together. Let some of the other younger players mature in the way Ramsey and Gibbs have done (mostly Chamberlain and Jenkinson) add a striker we'll have a shot next year or the year after. As long we challenge in that time I'll be happy.

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

Not really. I was perfectly happy to concede they were better than us.

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

I will change my view on Mourinho being sacked by Chelsea. After today l have given up on Spurs boss AVB.

You have Defoe on the bench, and Soldado NOT scoring again. I didn't see him anywhere near scoring. He has scored Penalties, and ONE goal from open play.

I just hope that Levy will get tough on AVB. How can you keep a goal scorer just watching the game and Soldado just on the pitch and just waiting. Bad buy in my opion.

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

That's twice now suprs have allowed a player to carry on playing with possible concussion after being knocked out. Surely the physios/doctors know the dangers of doing this? Especially today Lloris shouldn't have been allowed to play on surely?

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

He has got a real mean back elbow though.:rolleyes:

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

The rules on concussion should be strengthened in my opinion because there are the same problems that have occurred in Rugby Union lately and the sports authorities and officials/Medical staff are too lax in my opinion currently.

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

Yeah this isn't the NFL. To be honest the ref should make them go off.

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

It shouldn't be up to the ref, the club/physio/doctor should take care of their players, not put them in danger like this. AVB is saying Lloris said he was ok to continue, so they let him! What a ridiculous situation, the physio/doctor should be sacked for allowing that to happen.

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

AVB is as overrated as they come. You should have known this and what he'd do to spurs after his master plan backfired at Chelsea and had them playing some of the worst football you'll see. I may not rate defoe enough to replace Rooney for England but he can finish a lot better than Soldado that's for sure.

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

TBH it looked to me as though at least one member of the Spurs medical team was doing his best to get him off, he even spoke to the ref but if he insisted on staying on then AVB should have pulled him on the advice of the medical staff.

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

This happened to Flamini vs Norwich. Colin Lewin told Wenger to take him off and it was done. Wenger then kept him out for 5 days missing the Dortmund game.

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

Seems I was right, being reported in the press that AVB overruled his medical staff.:rolleyes:

Can someone who isn't British get a Knighthood?

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

Yes, Sir Vivian Richards, Sir Leary Constantine, Sir Bob Geldof etc. don't think it's a full knighthood though, honorary AFAIK.

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

Yohan Cabaye to Roma in January's window apparently. Newcastle are lining up a loan for Zaha and JFK is currently keeping tabs on Vermalen at Arsenal. Why Joe Kinnear thinks the Arsenal captain would have any interest in joining a side lower than his own is anyone's guess. He's expected to travel to Spain shortly to scout Ronaldo and Messi.

An actual target however is Andre Ayew whom Newcastle tried to sign in the summer. Given Gouffran's current form I'd say they're looking at replacing the ever annoying Hatem Ben Arfa. The 1 game a season winger everyone seems to be interested in.

Best odds are Newcastle lose both Cabaye and HBA without signing a thing. If you discount Callum Wilson who we're expecting to sign from Coventry.

Remy news is spot on what I've said before. There's next to no chance he'll be a Newcastle player next season. £10 million release clause is anyone's for the taking given his current form. I'd expect him to join Liverpool after the sale of Luis Suarez.

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

Yeah I wasn't sure if they get the use the 'Sir' title if it's not a full knighthood.

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window

I apologise to all Liverpool fans for the crude rumours about Luis Suarez. I've since had word to confirm he'll only be leaving if Liverpool fail to qualify for the Champions League.

Just to recap the above, Suarez to join Madrid in the summer. :D

As for Remy I feel you're correct in him not moving to Liverpool, if his buyout clause was £35 million...well that's a different story.

What position did Kagawa play tonight and how did he get on?

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

He started out wide and then moved to the centre when Rooney came off. No one played well, including him. Although he did set up the best chance of the game which Hernandez somehow managed to blast over the bar from 5 yards out.

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

First 60 minutes wideish left, poor, moved to a more central right position after Young came on and had a couple of decent touches, a very low key affair all round. :td:

To be honest there was definite contact on Young but it doesn't take much, Van Persie missed the pen anyway and Chico missed an open goal from a few yards out.:rolleyes:

United players looked as though they had an important match coming up, played at less than 75% all game.
