"I was Shanghaied by a High Hat beaver mustache man" Captain Beefheart - Orange Claw Hammer

[smokie36]

3 nil at home to Norwich and you can almost touch the excitement in here alfie

GD of 17 is rather pleasing I will admit.

we are going to beat you 18-0 and pip you for 5th

Only twice have we been beaten this season...says a lot about the spirit and quality of our squad.

Best of luck mickeys...but I fancy us for a top four spot now.

"I was Shanghaied by a High Hat beaver mustache man" Captain Beefheart - Orange Claw Hammer

Saw the good captain at the Free Trade Hall, but sadly at that age I was too young to appreciate the great man and his music.

I see no reason why SaPurs aren't genuine title challengers. You've lost 2 games..joint best GD..form team (along with Watford)..only 6 points behind Leicester who might drop away..only 4 points behind 2nd placed Arsenal who currently look the most likely. Go on you lot, shout it out, "title contenders"...no need to be so reserved.

I agree regarding Spurs, but I think City are most likely to win the title as you have the strongest squad.

I agree regarding Spurs,

Nah if we lost kane We'd really struggle to replace him and his goals in fact chances are i think we'd probably falter.

Fair play Lamela made that look really easy.

But it was far from easy in reality.

Nice goal.

Sky reporting that Harringay Council approved your new stadium plans overnight.

Yes we know, it was in the news first thing this morning

I liked Arsene's good humoured response at today's press conference* when challenged with the fact that NWHL will be 1,000'ish seats bigger than the Library. "So are you going to add a few more seats at The Emirates Arsene"? [with an uncharacteristic twinkle] "Yes, we'll see what we can do!"

I'm tempted to add - 'oh no - a further excuse not to spend on players', but Chic would be on my tail for that.

*Does anyone else here despise that crappy term "presser"?!

Yes and I also despise words such as "horrid", "journo" and "lino"and phrases like "a bunch of beers", "grab some beers" etc.

It is probably part of the ageing process.

[rijit]

I was gonna go into this post and brag ,, but there aint really much point ,. the result is there for all to see

after that nasty challenge that warranted the red card I know they had a few moments , but 2 me there was only gonna be one winner , shame for gomez , seemed to lose where he was after the initial clearance ,, and what spacial awareness by lamella for the first as stoney said made it look easy and walking through a prem defence like that should be anything but.. Good to see son carry on from pre injury getting in there and nicking a goal here and there. and finally our c/d looks solid as carms said after last season its a huge turn around,, big up for pochs 4 just sticking by the pairing, just shows what a run together can do.. only slight disappointment was rose, but aint nothing new in that. 3 rd and imo still more to come from that team/squad.

Really didn't read like too much to brag about on the BBC feed, hanging on against 10 men, dubious goal from an offside not given, 3 shots on target. Scintillating stuff.

[Bredbury Blue]

^In footballspeak, isn't that how they say Champions win. They're certainly on a roll.

[rott]

Lino ? H to me it sounds too much like Australian slang, and Australian slang is the verbal equivalent of scraping your fingernails down a blackboard (or is it a window?), anyway it just doesn't sit right.

No doubt you can go back to your pint while I will go back to trying to get to sleep.

Poor game really but ground out the result.

How did your lot fare at watford. Recently? Not far short of a spanking i seem to recall. 10 or 11 men theyre a physical well orgonised team that are happy to resort to what ever it takes to win. We showed some excellent controlled football against some pretty cynical style football. Best you stick to capt beefheart quotes, oh silly me you dont know much about him either.

Oh just to clarify the 'bragging bit, we just took 3 points away at a teamthat had kept 3 clean sheets in row i believe and won last four out of five. And arguably making them one of the form teams inthe prem at the mo.

Deservedly so Smokes. Didn't watch Spurs last night but all season you've been playing some great football. Don't know what is taking you Spurs fans so long to realise/admit that you are genuine title contenders. The rest of us know it.

In your opening para you sounding like you'd just give Watford drubbing, when it wasn't the case. How our team fared as nothing to do with it, Spurs are a much better side.

Also, I didn't quote Captain Beefheart, he covered the song, that's why I said it sounded like Captain Beefheart. I can guarantee you my knowledge of music is deep and plentiful. Best you get back to your George Formby playing Gramophone!

"We ain't title contenders"...you are in denial if that's what you're thinking. There's no reason SaPurs can't go all the way.
