I don't get it.

When Arsenal draws at a League One club, no biggie, 'cause they just beat Barcelona.

When Tottenham loses, who cares if they just beat Milan away, "the Spuds crop has failed yet again!".

Alright, you dislike Tottenham, I get it, and you're entitled to your opinion. But please, be fair, don't let your opinion influence your judgement.

It's just a bit of harmless "Spud-bashing", that's all!

The fact of the matter is that Spurs have a habit of shooting themselves in the foot just when they seem to be getting somewhere, and that's exactly what happened against Blackpool.
With all due respect to Blackpool (and fair play to them), Spurs shouldn't be losing 3-1 to a side like that if they want to be regarded as a "big" team.
That's what it all boils down to.
Admittedly Arsenal caved in against West Ham the other week, but they at least had the excuse of only having ten men when this happened.

I'm pretty sure they would have won the match if they hadn't been a player short.

Oh the Inter-Bayern game was the best CL round of 16 game!! End to end stuff, almost equal possession, and a last minute goal!! AND Arsenal win against Stoke!

Not for me it wasn't

, I'm not actually pissed off with them I was just hoping it would end in a draw towards the end.

During the first half I really thought Inter would take the game!

By the way, what are your thoughts on Leonardo?

Exactly, Charlie Adam is such an inspiration to that team and when they get it right, they don't let their opponents play.

Arsenal weren't that convincing tonight, can anyone name a team that is? Even United aren't having a great season but they somehow manage to pull in the points, that league is getting more and more tight and competitive, like most European leagues- it's just weird because we're not used to it. There used to be some type of pecking order, the strugglers, the consistent mid-table teams (Newcastle, Spurs, Villa) the UEFA cup teams and the top 4, and results could actually be predicted back then. I'm not a betting man but if I was, I'd have lost a lot of money this season.

The longer David N'Gog is in a Liverpool shirt he will be the death of me. Fucking shit. I've always been a firm supporter of individual players but I've lost patience with him.

I think he has done a fair job so far, with a few upsets, Juve and Udinese being the main ones, I think he has made Inter stronger in attack but the defence is weaker, were nearly always conceeding!, noticablly more than under Jose, I think he's a definate improvement on Rafa and for the moment I'm happy with him.
I'm not holding much hope of getting much further in the Champions League this year my main hope is that he can win us Serie A again which is do able in my opinion.

Thank you for the information!

howyousawtheworld · 24-02-2011, 09:32 PM

Well everything worked out in the end tonight - thank you Dirk Kuyt you hero!

Hmmm. Bebe is an even bigger legend.

BerrymanGirl1 · 26-02-2011, 04:47 PM

He didn't even kick it from inside the box!
