Greenlizard0 Weekend Football Thread ** spoilers ** [16 - 17th March 2013]

[Purdy]

Looks like he couldn't refrain himself

your team is the gift that keeps on giving. don't worry, spurs may balls up this afternoon so you can rub it in.

We were very poor yesterday and Skrtel really needs to have a hard look in the mirror, from Fans Player of the year to more or less the majority of the fan base wanting him gone. He can't handle the yard dog strikers, Benteke, Lambert, Lukaku etc etc all get the better of him far too easily!

One thing that always bugs me and want to hear everyones opinions though, if a defender jumps to head the ball and the striker in front of him just stands there why oh why is it always giving as a foul?

Unfortunately I don't care, obsession is unhealthy

 

[McBain]

Rovers, crap long ball football with no plan B, standard.

 

[Azza]

Apparently there are chants of "Rafa out" at Chelsea's U19 NextGen Series match against Juve. Morons, plastic club with their plastic fans waving their plastic flags.

 

[atpbx]

Is he knackered or is he just on a crap run of form? He has games out and then he's no better in the next one. I'd rather we started Hernandez at the moment, he deserves more chances.

Getting no service.

With the wingers being garbage or not fit, our weak midfield is once again proving to be a problem.
They dont defend, they dont press, they dont create and they dont score.

 

[Mr-White]

1- 0 Norwich

MW

 

[Azza]

Terrible marking by Sunderland.

 

[Mr-White]

Bunn off for handling outside the area

MW

 

[Azza]

Mark Bunn sent off for Norwich... coming out of his area and 'handling' the ball. Let's see on the replay.

 

[McBain]

Bunn doesn't appear to be overly impressed with that decision.

 

[Mr-White]

Very close call that, looks to bounce up and hit him in the arm pit

MW

 

[Azza]

Looked like it hit has chest then up into his armpit, or maybe straight into their. Not sure where he's supposed to put his arms in that situation as that's where arms are generally found on the body. And he's running and jumping to chest the ball.

 

[Mr-White]

Getting worse for Norwich now, a debatable penalty

Again looks a close call as the ball bounces off the top of the chest, Bassong had his arm out which makes it look worse.

1-1

MW

 

[Azza]

It's all going off now! Another handball!

 

[Psycho Ned]

This ref loves a handball! Probably a penalty that one, though again not much the player could have done to avoid it!

Good afternoon from White Hart Lane - the team is in and as follows:

Starting line-up: Lloris; Naughton, Caulker, Dawson, Vertonghen; Sigurdsson, Dembele, Parker, Assou-Ekotto; Adebayor, Bale.

Subs: Friedel, Walker, Carroll, Holtby, Livermore, Defoe, Dempsey.

walker and defoe dropped. yay.

 

[cm1179]

BAE on the wing? lennon not even in the squad

 

[Twinblade]

Interesting line up that, would have thought Holtby would have started ahead of BAE.
