what a shame for the Arse......well done West Ham...

Now if Spurs can get something out of this game, it'll be a perfect day

Gotta love the Wenger v Pardew thing. They showed it enough times on MotD2 to be able to lip read a lot of it.

Pardew celebrates a bit, Wenger obviously says something nasty off camera, Pardew goes over saying 'what? why?. Wenger pushes him away saying something that looked an awful lot like 'fuck off'.

Hasn't done wonders for my fantasy team this weekend though.

Spurs 2 - 1 Chelski

What a day, i was there in the south lower singing my heart out. 16 years of pain washed away.

Excellent.

Well done Spurs

Also, Notts county threw away a glorious chance of making the quarters. Which made me snigger.

Eastwood looks a decent player mind. I'd be surprised if someone didn't make a move for him in January.

Oh and we beat Watford on penalties.....but I'd swap that for 3 points right now.

Pretty decent goal he scored too:

I can only assume that, at some point around three years ago, someone at Newcastle really upset an egyptian god.

It's karma. A year ago most people were praying for him to get injured so he couldn't get in the team.

So Owen and Ameobi out for the season, Rossi back to ManU in January and we are left with the injury prone Martins and Sibierski.

Keeper situation doesn't look much better after the latest news. Given still injured, Harper playing with a groin injury and now Krul out, possibly long term.

I know it's been said before but we've had major injury for years now. There must be some underlying reason.

I thought Shola's hip was a problem in the summer, I wonder if surgical intervention should have been applied then against the risk of exacerbating the condition during the season. Oops too late.

Crikey, what was *this* doing on page 4...?

Waiting for news of Arsenal stuffing Liverpool 3-0 (goalscorers Flamini, TourÃ© and Gallas...

) and Spurs being trounced by Reading.

And most importantly, Forest putting 5 past the mighty Yeading. What a great weekend to not be too interested in rugby or cricket...

And what the FUCK is Mike Newell on? Ian Holloway's mad manager medicine? He always had the look of the lone killer about him, but this is into new territory...

He's well out of line there. Amy Rayner might well be bad at her job (and considered opinion seems to be that she is fairly hopeless) but if she's crap it's because she's crap, not because she's a woman.

Panic, I reckon. People pushing themselves too hard, managers rushing players back from injury.

There's far, far too much pressure on us. It doesn't matter whether we're 1st, 5th, 10th or 20th.
