Greenlizard0 Weekend Football Thread ** spoilers ** [10th - 14th Feb 2012]

Jon Champion is a ****** knob. The worst commentator I have ever heard. Keeps on yapping about the penalty that Newcastle should've had where it was nothing of a penalty. Someone please kill him.
 
I'm hoping Spurs don't just sit back and see out the game like they've done in the past. I'd rather see them finished off Newcastle in style.

The biggest problem is that the team is used to playing through Cabaye and Tiote, Perch steps up, sells himself easily and is so easy to get past its almost laughable and the team just isn't adapting to running up the wings and getting the early pass into the front two.

Thing is, Spurs would look pretty poor if you took Parker, Modric and King out, central midfield pair is the most important area in the pitch. Guthrie I've never rated, Perch is laughably poor and the rest just aren't working together at the moment.

The fact is that you can have Perch in the middle doing nothing defensively and not helping going forwards, or put an attacking player in there to help link the team together and make the attack a real threat to Spurs.

Also any other day and a couple of those goals wouldn't have gone through all the defenders legs(though that is why its infuriating when cb's turn their backs when blocking, makes it impossible to see the ball and getting a good block in stupidly difficult), and you might have had a penalty.

its not a good performance and there is a gulf in quality, but its not that bad. A team with 3 absolute key players out having a bad game vs a complete first team having their best game in ages can always look terrible.


Spurs though, its funny how playing a basically proper 4-4-2 and two strikers can make a team play SO much better. It's whats been missing from Spurs in the past few weeks in some of their more turgid performances.

I wouldn't have expected much out of this game, even a full strength Newcastle I'd fully expect a loss, though a narrow one maybe. Understrength Newcastle wasn't ever likely to be very good.

Agree.

Wish I could agree from an a better position though!

When SAF is slating Suarez in this BBC interview and he said "Liverpool should get rid of him". Why didn't he get rid of Cantana when he decided to karate kick a fan in the face? He's so opportunistic. For once I think Rooney gave a flawless interview.

Or Keane. Guys a massive hypocrit, but everyone knew that.
 
Just realised that Saha scored twice. Why couldn't he do that at Everton.

I've always thought he was quality. His spell at United was hampered with injuries, but still done reasonably well there.

Is it just a case of the "David Moyes effect"?

Indeed, I meant it more as in any big games at the Amex are gonna be amazing for a season at least. The positivity at the Liverpool game was electric ....and we should have got something from it!


Looks like it payed off to bench CMS as well, bought him on and he scored. He is actually getting a lot of undue stick(imo) from Brighton fans, fair dos he hasn't scored enough, but he always puts in 100%.
I haven't seen much of Vokes yet but I don't remember being particularly impressed with him in the Premiership. Ashley Barnes is really starting to grow on me though.:)
 
Well they have been injured, giving them a bit of game time. It's not a bad situation to be in though with that quality to come on as subs! :)

No, he was goading him, just won the game and he had to wind up :Suarez:, Suarez did his time but Evra just cant let it lie.

like KD lets it lie you mean, or even Saurez refusing to shake hands to start with?

Pretty poor 1/2 half, Utd dominated 2nd and really should have completely killed it off , sloppy defending for the liverpool goal but it was the three points that were needed

Hoping AV actually decide to turn up and get at least a point tomorrow (little chance given how poor they have been generally but you never know)

Not a dig at you specifically, but just in general I don't know why everyone's surprised. Most footballers are idiots. Evra was in the wrong, Suarez is definitely in the wrong, Dalglish is in the wrong, Ferguson is in the wrong, Ferdinand is in the wrong.
