Its very pleasing from our perspective to see Eriksen performing so well at international level....hopefully he will continue this through to his club form.....great player. 

... As opposed to Danny Wellbeck who by all accounts just stood there in the 6 yard box and didn't challenge De Gea for an incoming ball, but apparently DeG dropped the ball after landing on his head which lead to a goal (disallowed). Not a great player, DW that is.?

I felt the ref made a perfectly good decision there. 

We need to start winning again, I expect us to win the rest of the games before Christmas, just to get the confidence we need to fight for the title.

Any injuries lads, expected or notable absentees for Saturday?

and Sissoko 

Not sure with our lads, aside Lallana and Lovren being out, thankfully the Brazilians didn't play in the last International, but are only due back at training tomorrow.

He could always do the match and then have an afternoon sesh. Unless he's too hung over from Friday night

Lloris not playing ? Why ?

Thigh injury 

Due an away win at Spurs I feel...make up for Degsy showing us up last season.

I used to say that when I wanted to go on the lash. I never drove though

Still sozzled.

Lloris and Dele out.  And if you are really lucky Sissoko will be playing.

 

Question marks too over Kane.  He's burnt out and needs a break.

How devastating for us that we have the only footballer ever to be done for DUI.........hopefully more and more people can jump on "the bandwagon of sanctimonious hypocrisy"?

 

So, on to the match, Dele and Lloris out and Kane knackered.   

 

All in all, i have a bad feeling about this game.

Yeah. How dare we even mention that you're goalie is a convicted drink driver.

I have to laugh yet again.

 

How many on this board have driven after having a drink? Case closed.

At least Son will walk straight back in. I suspect we'll play four at the back with Dembele and Winks.

 

Hard to see how we can start Wanyama in this one really.

Come on mate. Stop defending him. 30 or 40 odd years ago, yeah many people did it. They also didn't have seat belts and child seats. Times have changed. Would you put your child in a car now without buckling them up like they did a few decades ago? Nowadays, everybody knows exactly the effects Drink Driving has and there is absolutely no excuse for ANYBODY doing it. Jaysus, he can afford his own limousine service

Come on mate, how many people do you know that can say in all honesty they have never got behind the wheel of a car knowing they are over the limit?  We all know its wrong but.....he's been charged, convicted, fined and lost his license.....should he been banged up perhaps as well?

 

People in glass houses shouldn't throw stones.  Or is it a case of how dare i say that!!!!

its not like he was doing an Adan Johnson like, was it!!!   

 

Have you ever driven over the limit?  If you can't give a categoric denial, which i would accept, best to drop the subject.  Thats my opinion anyway.  Lloris was a stupid <deleted> and has paid the price.  Fortunately no one was hurt and i trust he'll never do it again.

One of practically everyone who has ever driven a car i'd venture to say.  The fact that times have changed is a complete cop out response because the laws have been in place, regardless, since time began.  Lloris, as has been said, could own his own limo company has has made a right fool of himself, but he's paid the price and that should be the end of it, unless theres anyone out there thats never done it, and in which case they can bore on for as long as they want.

I've never done it but I won't be getting all sanctimonious given the number of hedges I've decided to sleep in over the years.
