Premiership 2012-13 Season

Watched the end of Norwich's win over Man U -- fun to see the crowd reaction. And well done to Southampton.

 

Have to give a special condemnation to the scumbags in the Wet Spam away support that were at White Hart Lane yesterday. For those not keeping up with the Europa League this year there were Spurs' supporters attacked in Italy ahead of the Tottenham/Lazio match, one was stabbed (and was in serious condition). Then at the match, chants of 'Juden Tottenahm' rang out at the home stadium in reference to the Spurs' large jewish fan base. What did some cretins in the Hammers section do yesterday? Chants of 'Viva Lazio', 'Paolo Di Canio' (who played for both Lazio and West Ham), and hissing to imitate the sound of gas chambers. I'm sure there are plenty of Hammer supporters that were appalled and embarrassed, so don't want to slam the whole lot, but for those who took part, what a bunch of low lifes. Most of us have disdain for the Spammers when they cheated to stay up (the Tevez saga), but this takes it to a new level.

 

The Manchester Derby had it all; great goals, great saves, pouting players (hint: he's Italian and has a mohawk), Rio Ferninand getting bloodied by an object thrown at him,and then to top it off some idiot Citeh supporter got on the field and tried running at him, but was cut off by City's class GK Joe Hart. Crazy 90 minutes of footy.

 

:text-+1:

And a crazy winning free kick by RVP. And a brace by Rooney. And a phantom yellow on Rooney on a clean break by YaYa. Good stuff.

 

Does anybody do more with less than David Moyes?

 

Not consistently has he does it.

QPR gets worked by the Scousers at home... :lol: You know it's going bad when the only thing to cheer for is losses for the teams below.

 

At least we got that. The only team QPR beat was us in 2012. Kinda lets some of the joy go.

 

BTW, did anybody else see that BB by Stoke's Cameron Jerome against Southampton at the Britannia? That thing was a lazer shot! Nasty.

 

The dreaded release clause strikes again as the Blue Poo snatch up Demba Ba from Newcastle (he scored in his debut for the Scum). Our season forever changed when Spurs came in and paid the 15 million pounds for Dembele. How Ba only had a 7.5 mill release clause is anyone's guess, but the Magpies management has egg on their face and a hole at the forward position.

 

Impressed Clint went the full 90 after traveling back from Honduras. Too bad for the 3 Lions Gareth Bale is Welsh because that dude is on an amazing run of form.

 

Actually, he went 99. And worked his socks off. Good to see he's earned AVB's trust.

Bale was amazing. Spurs will have a hard time keeping him in the summer.

 

While I'm not eager for West Brom to be gaining points on us, I couldnt help but enjoy their win at Anfield yesterday. Suarez did one of his worst dives to date to gain a penalty and Foster saved it. LOL good. :banana-linedance:

I hope Liverdrool fans take note of how solid all of Roy's former teams are - except them :lol:

 

:clap:

 

Spurs do us a favor by coming back with 2 late goals to beat the Cheaters at Upton Park 2-3. Bale with a great goal in the first half, but his match winner goal in the 90th minute was a CRACKER of immense proportions from 30 yards out.

 

His winner is real nice.

Is there a hotter player on the planet right now than Bale (Messi excluded...or maybe not)? Methinks not. It'll be interesting to see if Spurs can keep him come the summer. The prevailing general opinion is that they can not. I believe that they can, especially if they make the Champions League, which, at the moment, it looks like they will.
At any rate, the boy is in form, big time.

 

Bale has some amazing abilities, but I have to say there are some things I'm not too impressed with now that I watch more than his highlight reels. He dives, makes some stupid decisions, and tends to just put his head down and dribble as if he's the only player on his team. I'll be happy to see him exit the premeir league personally. He would probably improve in those areas I mentioned if he went to a top Serie A or LaLiga side with a strong coach, well except for the diving part. I could see him at Real Madrid or AC Milan, but I dont see Barcelona getting him despite the rumors. I dont see him fitting in there at all.

 

Watching the North London Derby (2-1 Spurs in the 60th minute) but more wanted to comment on Fox's studio inclusion of Piers Morgan (an Arsenal fan) instead of Brian McBride... :angry-banghead: Listening to the arrogant blowhard is fingernails on a chalkboard.

 

Morgan supposedly brings eyeballs to the show. I don't see how as I agree with you, but they keep bringing him back. How does someone with such a terrible voice continue to make a living talking?

Mo, agree with all of your criticisms of Bale. The only thing I'd offer up is they've been bereft of strikers due to injuries and a lack of depth. That and he's been in such an insane run of form that if he just keeps trying shit, it goes in. While he comes off as incredibly greedy at the moment, it's hard to argue with the results. And to his credit, he was starting to be more of a team player when they had both Defoe and Dempsey fit. If Bale leaves, it will be to Real Madrid. They have some sort of partnership deal going on with Spurs and he plays more to the Madrid style than the Barca style. I don't think you'll see him go to Italy. Of course, I think there's a good chance he stays at Spurs since it's looking more and more like they will indeed secure Champions League football this year.

Speaking of today's match, is this the year Arsenal and Arsene finally part ways? They didn't just lose to Spurs today, Spurs are the better team from top to bottom. That really says something about what's been happening at Arsenal in recent years. I get that the board have been tighter with money, but they still spend more than all but City, Utd and chelsea. Wenger's real undoing is that he doesn't seem to have any concern for defense. Not in securing players nor in tactics. As the Gunners defense has eroded and other teams have closed the spending gap, Wenger has been found wanting.
