Why everything pundits say should be taken with a pinch of salt

Filed Under TV | 8 Comments

So-called ‘experts’ are paid to comment on the game. Alan Hansen says:
If I had been asked at the start of the season to nominate a team to drop out of the Premier League’s top four, I would have picked Arsenal. And Tottenham would have been my choice to replace them. Look what has happened to [...]

Spurs are stupid

Filed Under Chairmen, Idiots, Managers, Premiership, Sackings | 6 Comments

Martin Jol takes over, gets Spurs to a creditable 5th in the table. Their highest ever Premiership finish.
The very next season he consolidates them in that position which is no small achievement with the established strength of United, Arsenal, Chelsea and Liverpool ahead of him.
This summer they spend an absolute fortune on players but due [...]

Bolton Signal Their Intentions -

Filed Under Managers, Premiership | 1 Comment

Relegation.
A few eyebrows will have been raised by the downright bizarre appointment of Gary Megson, i.e. anyone who has followed West Brom, Forest, Stoke or even Leicester in the last few years. I remember him best at Forest, taking a once great club down the Leagues, playing players out of position and showing he [...]

The goal that sums up Arsenal

Filed Under Champions League, Great goals | 3 Comments

Arsenal’s 6th goal in their demolition of Slavia Prague sums up all that’s good about Arsene Wenger’s team. Pace, power, precision passing and a wonderful finish. Remember that the Gunners were 5-0 up at the time yet Fabregas ran the length of the pitch to get involved.
Just beautiful football for Arsenal fans and neutrals to [...]

Bloody Hell…

Filed Under Champions League | 1 Comment

Before anyone starts, I realise that it wasn’t Inter Milan or Real Madrid, but the performance by Arsenal tonight was in parts breathtaking. They appear to have learnt from mistakes, there was clinical finishing, good defending and although they did try to walk it in a couple of times, they didn’t sit back on a [...]

Younes Kaboul

Filed Under Defending, Premiership | Leave a Comment

Possibly the worst centre-half I’ve seen since Titus Bramble. In his short time in the Premier League I’ve seen him turn his back on the ball more than any other player.
Defensively Spurs are a shambles and a lot of it is down to him.

Who’s Next In The Sack Race?

Filed Under Managers, Premiership, Sackings | 3 Comments

Well, it’s got to be Martin Jol, hasn’t it? Watching an embarrassed Paul Robinson squirm uncomfortably while Macca and Tim Sherwood pull the Spurs team apart made me think he knows something - and not how much a Wispa is.
Martin says;
Even against Newcastle we tried to come back but we concede goals at the [...]
