Wooooo!!!

 

[yoyo913]

Harry is exempt from all law breaking punishment by way of supreme law. Or should be.

 

[Mint]

He's a god in spurs fans eyes.

 

[rony31]

He's a soggy old **** is what he is.

 

[fender]

I guess Terry's next to be found not guilty.

 

[Back Door Skip]

He's a soggy old **** is what he is.

Highlights how much fewer points the top teams have picked up this season

On a side note when was the last time that not one of the newly promoted sides went down? Could happen this season.

 

[ARIAGA II]

2001-2002 and they are all still in the league as of this season.

 

[Sir Calumn]

So ten years?

Also, do you guys reckon that Newcastle bubble has finally burst?

 

[ShiftyPowers]

Sure looked that way, but Spurs are a strong team. Newcastle might have overrated their abilities and tried to push on for a comeback, only to get demolished.

 

[Sir Calumn]

I didnt watch, but I guess Spurs knocked the stuffing out of them early. Maybe when they get Tiote back they can steady the ship. I was quite enjoying the overperforming Newcastle.

Another big win today, Wolves 1-5 WBA. I didnt know WBA were capable of scoring five goals in a month, let alone a single game.

 

[ShiftyPowers]

St. Landon has 22 total appearances for Everton. I wonder if anyone has ever been as big of a legend at a top flight club while playing fewer games.

 

[Mus]

I watched Newcastle, their midfield was atrocious and they had absolutely no chance playing 7vs11 all game, I think they were really missing Cabaye and Tiote

 

[MaestroZidane]

That happens to them every once in a while, only for them to bounce back up

 

[yoyo913]

Throw in a relegation here and there too.

Obertan is an atrocity of a player. I'm quite shocked at just how terrible he is. The squad is very thin, so yeah Tioté especially will always be a huge miss.

 

[1966+2006]

Spurs' transformation really has been quite remarkable. They're even being linked with figures such as Hazard and Mourinho. Hope they can keep it up.
