Sorry PaulEMoz mate, but our Spurs had another great un-characteristic SOLID game yesterday, and after seeing the whole 90 minute game on sky last night, i would say that on the strength of the 2nd half we were'nt undeserved winners.
Although with the amount of chances you guys had in the first half, maybe a draw would have made more sense...

but still, seeing the Spurs play for a full game without looking like tits at any point is a very nice change...

Or is it?
He's still crap, 'tho

Whoops! Changed me mind already, I have. Worked hard and scored an absoltely cracking goal (just a shame that Berger scored a better one on the same day

). Just wait until he starts shooting with his right foot!

They asked him about Wayne Rooney and the stories linking him with us at 30 million, and he just hesitated, smiled and said "I have no comment to make about Wayne Rooney". Now, while I'm 100% certain that story is pure cobblers, that's unlike any statement I've ever heard him make about a player before. Strange.
*NO* chance, mate.

I agree. Everyone knows he is going to Manchester

Oh, I know there's absolutely no chance whatsoever of us getting Rooney. It was just the strangest response owld Sir Bob's given, that I've seen, and after Fat Freddie said he was working on an amazing transfer. I hope it's a world-class defender or two, though.

Holy shit! What a team Arsenal are. I thought they were knackered when they went 3-1 down today, but that was an amazing performance. Mind you, they've got one of the dodgiest keepers I've seen, so there's maybe some small hope for the rest of us, but they look like they could outscore anyone.

Man, that was a game. When was the last time ANYONE scored three past them at Highbury?

Great game.

Really enjoyed that. It always takes me a couple of weeks to get into the season, but then a real classic turns up and it's like football has never been away.

Well, the silly sods have apparently gone and bid 20 million for Wayne Rooney.

Newcastle bid for Rooney

It'll be turned down of course, but why oh why aren't they out buying defenders?

Also, Sturrock has gone from Southampton. That was a bit quick, wannit?

Lots of crazy talk in Newcastle. People reckon Rooney will be unveiled tomorrow, and Shearer is off to Celtic. Or he's going to be player manager at Southampton. Either of those. I think there's been too much Brown Ale imbibed back home today!

Indeed. Good goals too. I'd love us to finish in the top two.

As good as unbeatable. Just enjoy the greatest English club side that we've ever seen. They look better than last year and that's *without* Vieira and Campbell. Stunning.

Newcastle have bid 23.5 million, apparently.

I'm off to watch the match now.
