cosanostra Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 Who's all watching? Spurs have set up with an extremely attacking team. The big guy Zokora will have to play well and cover his defence. I reckon 3-1 Spurs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cosanostra Posted January 18, 2009 Author Share Posted January 18, 2009 Can't believe it's still 0-0. Some of the saves made by David James have been incredible. I just can't see Pompey clinging on for 90 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Romanov Saviour of HMFC Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 It's a shame to see Pompey so gash this season. They had an amazing team last season. James is some keeper, still ruins it with the regular errors he makes. Gomes is just gash. Gash and injured. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that's true of all wingers, isn't it? At the highest level, full back is probably the most demanding position (whereas at lower levels, it's the easiest) - but wingers don't come far behind. And the best - those who don't flatter to deceive and consistently produce a telling final ball - are worth their weight in gold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking before today this could be the season when a big club goes down instead of the usual 3 promoted clubs. In actual fact we could see 3 big clubs go down. Spurs, West Ham, Newcastle, Middlesboro, even Man City plus a few others. Nobody is safe because Hull and Stoke have done well and even West Brom are making a fight of it.

But they did it through such a laughably inept programme that he was able to just laugh at them. Below, a prediction I made several months ago (when Redknapp was appointed) in an email to a Spurs-supporting friend of mine: Redknapp will indulge the lads in their drinking, partying and shagging culture, so will improve you in the short term - before it all goes tits up again this time next year. Ramos, on whom I broadly agree with you, but whose lack of English and odd country bumpkin demeanour probably was part of the issue, will get snapped up by Real Madrid soon and be a huge success. Poyet will end up as an assistant at Chelsea before too long. And Agent Comolli can finally return to base, to be greeted by Arsene Wenger and Peter Hill-Wood with the words, "Mission Accomplished!" Meanwhile, Spurs will go on to confirm 11th place, endure various crises and panics... before winning the FA Cup under Jurgen Klinsmann in 2011. Huzzah! Most of it's coming true, isn't it?

That is quite spooky. Did you say that before Ramos went to Real? You're bang on about Redknapp as well, by the way. That is exactly the kind of manager he is. And yes, the BBC documentary was awful, but at least they had the nerve to attempt to expose one of the secretive industries in the country. They should have done more though. It also didn't surprise me one bit that two of the biggest question marks were over guys like Redknapp and Allardyce. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you 'avin a larf? Did you read the article I linked to? Maybe you should read this too: http://www.just-football.com/2008/10/two-faced-redknapp-not-quite-onest-arry.html "I genuinely never thought I would go to Southampton." Read that sentence - then read it again. This is after he went back on his promises to Pompey fans within a fortnight, then betrayed Saints fans in turn, and couldn't understand why he wasn't welcomed back to Fratton Park with open arms. It's laughable. Saddam Hussein: "I genuinely never thought I'd gas my own people". And even more laughably, you've bought it. Hook, line and sinker.
