You mean Martin Jol?

Phew that was a close call for Man City, looks like it`s still the same old City, should have been home and dry but make you sweat it out

4-3 should be an early match of the day game...

West Brom vs Blackpool is meant to have been a game of the season contender, so hopefully that will get plenty of attention tonight.

Spurs excellent so far, really enjoyable and United are nowhere. Although it's a summary of United's season that despite being unable to make a mark on the game they aren't behind. Looks like it's going to be a draw. Possibly because Crouch is the weak link in this Spurs team so far.

we were awful today no one in the midfield could keep the ball and Nani did nothing the entire match.

Think Andy Gray summed up all that is wrong with football today at the start when he said it us up to Rooney whether is choosing to leave his legs behind and claim a pen. It's either a foul or it isn't if the attacker has to choose what to do then it can't be a foul or a pen that is just plain cheating

Apart from the fact that in the whole of the second half, even against ten men the only real chance they had was when Hernadez stupidly laid the ball at Van der Vaarts feet.

Rooney, Berbatov and Nani were nowhere today and United still got a point, no thanks to that plonker Mike Dean.

Overall a fair result.

One thing I did notice yesterday was the pathetic attendance at the so called 'Second City Derby'

Whilst all of the other three games on Sunday were around 1,000 below capacity, due no doubt to segregation/separation considerations,our self styled second city managed a turnout almost 8,000 below capacity.

Some second city.

Or not....Avram must feel like a dead man walking

Kymmy · 18-01-2011, 12:18

Yep, seems the reports jumped the gun... though how many times have we heard a board put their faith in a manager only to sack him a week or two later

Actually, that fault could be laid at the feet of Birmingham City, not both - when they played at Villa Park earlier this season, the crowd was only a couple of thousand below capacity.

Mind you, I'm a Villa fan, and I wouldn't want to be seen dead at St Andrews (ignoring the fact that I live 140 miles away)

Steven Pienaar picked up by helicopter from LJLA this morning and on his way down to London. Spurs or Chelsea, take your pick.

iadom · 18-01-2011, 15:55

Â£24 million for Darren Bent, the world has gone mad I tell you.

It's Spurs.

Rather insane if you ask me. Spurs have one of the best midfields in the league. I would say it ranks 2nd to Arsenal's midfield (although I am biased I think it is fair to say Arsenal have the best). If there is one position they do not need to strengthen it is midfield. However Spurs, much like Arsenal, have problems at the back and they also need a better striker.

You only have to look at Liverpool to see what happens if you stand still and stop trying to improve, they have lost Bentley and the Pienaar deal has been paid for from Darren Bent's sell on clause so it's a no brainer for me.
