Moneyball won't win the Premiership 2012-13

I am the only person in my Fantasy League with Suarez in my team :D

Crap from Skrtel.

Ech, that's rubbish. Had a good chance to boost the goal difference today, that's just cancelling out the WBA game now.

The tannoy announces Russel Martin as MOTM.

By God i enjoyed that game (going frwd)

yeah that was great fun. need to tighten up at the back though. reina's a worry, not sure what we do there because i don't know how good brad jones actually is. but great in terms of going forward, possession and controlling the game.

re. suso. don't know for certain about the contract situation, but i'm guessing they just wanted to make him earn it. there's been a lot of hype about him for a while now. i can see why they wouldn't want to give him a mega contract (relative to his age) before he's even played for the first team. but he seems to be on the way to 'making it' now, and the local press have reported that talks are under way.

Lol Vertonghen

Oof

vertonghen seems to be playing three positions simultaneously.

Yeah he's fantastic again

Bale 0-2!

Spurs are completely bossing ManU around, Dembele and Vertonghen are ace

This is what I thought should happen, never thought it would though

Oh no no no, what am I saying, it's not the second half yet

idk if i shd watch this

i am determined to do as little as possible today but i want to watch seville/barcelona later and 2.5 games in one day might be too much for my aetiolated concentration span

How much stoppage time does ManU need to put three past Friedel? Seven minutes should be enough iirc

We all know what happens now.

I texted a Spurs supporting mate of mine before kick-off to predict 4-0 to Spurs at half-time, United to win 5-4 in 99th minute with controversial Nani goal. United quite poor so far* but I wouldn't rule out anything yet.

*as they were last week, but then we were fortunate to be playing against ten men threatened with relegation

England manager Roy Hodgson has been 'knighted' in Finland for helping the nation put their name on the football map. Finland, a republic, have honoured Hodgson with the Knight, First Class, of the Order of the Lion of Finland.

Hodgson, appointed England coach in May, managed the Nordic nation from January 2006 to November 2007 when they came agonisingly close to qualification for a first major tournament at Euro 2008.

"Roy's time as the manager of Finland lifted the level of Finnish football culture and made Finland internationally better known as a football nation," Finnish ambassador to Britain Pekka Huhtaniemi said on the English FA's website.

aw no

huh?!

this never happens

I thought Bale had really fucked up by shooting there

wtffff

Fuck's sake

this always happens

Get a grip Tottenham ffs

Crikey, that was a penalty when you see the replay

Astonished that didn't go in

What do Spurs think they're doing here? This is asking for it.

there's nothing like coming in from the pub as the second half starts, seeing Spurs are up 2-0 and still knowing they're going to lose

There's this one bank of eight that's not picking anybody up

bloody hell, it happened

this guy knows what's poppin'

Do the other 15 minutes of stoppage time start after the commercials?

"the last time Spurs won at Old Trafford Phil Collins was still cool" - dude on Talksport, just now

CAN'T SPEAK RIGHT NOW.

don't remember that 1989 match but I used to have a video from the same season where they beat them in the League Cup. quality Lineker goal iirc

Not sure I've ever seen a worse successful rearguard action, like anybody cares right now

"the last time Spurs won at Old Trafford 'Jive Bunny' was number one in the charts" - ESPN commentator, during the game

Matt have a lie down, close your eyes. When you wake up Spurs will have still beaten Man U at Old Trafford!

Was AVB still in charge for the 3-3 last year? Because that is a mental trio of games against Utd

swanea had 74% possession away at stoke

Out of contact all day, didn't know we were playin til 77 mins

that was kinda like the reverse of last week's game, or so i'd like to pretend

I could've done without Chelsea winning today, but the league otherwise taking shape nicely imo. Nobody else moving too far out of reach.

So chose today for my second game of the season. It was all so lovely for about the first 20-25 minutes. Then our defence... The first goal was mortifyingly awful. The rest were us not coping with Everton's breaking and, well, that Jelavic, he can hit 'em.

I still love Nat Clyne, but by god he's easy to get round the back of. Gazzaniga was pulling off some good saves but was totally at fault for the Everton opener. Ramirez had some nice touches. But not £12m worth. Rodriguez never looked even a tiny bit threatening. I'm worried for the lad. Yoshida had scattered moments of kicking ass. JWP still heartening, and I'll pretty much always adore Lambert and Lallana. Adkins' name was chanted throughout. He's a nutter, but he's our nutter.

Also I know it's obvious that Fellaini's a fucking beast but BY GOD it should not be legal for any footballer to be that enormous. He was at least twice the size of Steven Davis. Terrifying.

fletcher's goal was class. ba's first not bad either.
