Were at home to Fulham today, in search of our 4th consecutive win. Back to 4-5-1 today, with our very high defensive line.
I would laugh so hard if Spurs don't get CL football again looool
Would be awesome if Newcastle got that place, after all the ppl saying why did Cabaye leave a CL club. inb4 Arsenal lose...
Looking forward to seeing Miyaichi in the Bolton game, my fantasy football team depends on it!

and of course a lot of the time they turn shit or become permacrocks once we send them on their way.....
feels good to rip off the likes of City I must say.
sadly it seems the trend is stopping, the guys who leave are finding more success.
To be brutually honest. Spurs are very much in danger of losing out on CL football if we carry on like we did today. Just watched the full 90 minutes, and I'm pretty livid at how shit a match it was. We let Sunderland set up, and play their game, having 9 behind the ball all the time, and packing it out, waiting to hit on the counter. We couldnt see how to break them down, so put in no effort, until Lennon came on, and actually ran at the defence. Such a poor strategy to use against a Sunderland that O'Neill has clearly got well organised, as he does at every club.
I was even more pissed off by the performance of Chris Foy. No way should he be reffing in the prem next year. The handballs, all suspect. Seen them given, seen them not. But his inconsistency with the cards was unforgivable. I don't want to see players booked, but the likes of Cattermole shouldn't get away with multiple shit challenges in a half, for no warning to maybe make him think twice about it in future. Then he has the cheek to book Disco Benny for his first foul of the match! Absolutely livid. I hate Foy, screwed us against Stoke early doors as well.
/rant. I hope the rest of the weekends football is a bit nicer on the eyes, that's for sure.

In fairness Martin O'Neill has made Sunderland an absolute bitch to play against. Probably a harder place to go than Stoke right now. Arsenal lost 2-0 to Sunderland so Spurs probably did alright. Plus we play City tomorrow so I don't think drawing was that bad.
thought michael oliver was a good ref. 2 clear penalties not given not to mention the wrongly disallowed goal (ball crossed the line, not a 100% sure though).
and how did kuyt miss that? it's probably kenny's fault
Ok, we can't. Would totally be ok with one point, though.
edit: last minute goal from Chelsea, Torres with a kind-of-assist
very good performance from liverpool.
Yeah, you didn't lose for once!
When you hit the post as much as Liverpool it's not bad luck anymore, it's bad finishing!
We need the linesman to beat a relegation-threatened side and Barca make a comeback to win 4-1.......What's worse is that the first games is at the Bridge and while our home form isn't as shit as Loserpool,losing to the likes of Bolton and QPR(HAHAHA Nos),almost drawing with Wigan was bullshit.This is the kind of team we smashed 4+ goals vs in previous seasons for Christ's sake......
