Not for long considering today's effort... they should give the Old Trafford fans their money back. A team with absolutely no direction at all. The newcomers didn't have a clue as to where to be or what to do.

Based on this effort from United today, at home - they will finish 10th. As will we (well, we can't both come 10th but you know what I mean) if I based my predictions on the last 70 minutes.

First 20 minutes of the game... one team showed some quality. One team turned up. One team had a plan. One team fecked that all up with a poor pass and an own goal.

If you win the games when you're playing badly, what will you achieve when it all starts to gel.

It doesn't matter how well your team played, if they haven't got a decent goal scorer, they're not going to win.

"...if they haven't got a decent goal scorer."

Not sure if Kane has been mentioned here yet but... :D


We made 5 good goal scoring chances today, some created by Kane but only one with him on the end of it. Didn't work out unfortunately.

United made 1 scoring chance in the whole game. The other we created for them ourselves.

Reputation means nothing. It still doesn't matter how well your team played, if they haven't got a decent goal scorer, they're not going to score. If you can't score, you can't win.

Rooney didn't score, but just the thought of his reputation forced an error from [Edit :oops: ]Kyle Walker.

But Spurs do have a decent goal scorer in Harry Kane - at one stage he was a Man U target. Ok he may not have scored today, but come the end of the season, my money would be on him scoring more goals than Mr Rooney.

You're as good as your last game. He did OK last season, including an England call up/goal, but apart from his goal, he didn't do much.

Lets see what he can manage this season. If Spurs were as superior as GLC reckons, why didn't he pop a couple in the net?

Today, he was only really offered a half chance on his left, but he created some good chances, so his hold up play and passing game is maturing. Saying that, his last few balls towards the end of the game, showed something that was either tiredness or desperation.

So that superiority wasn't so good that you had the right players in the right places :?

Just joking guys, whilst watching the football - I've got absolutely no Premiership allegiance, and it's unlikely that I ever will :D

Oh yes, I forgot that you follow the Conference Leagues, or were Plymouth promoted recently? :wink:

Shame Mourinho can't call up on Cech to fill in durning Courtois' ban.

Agreed, apart from scoring a goal 79 seconds after coming on, he didn't do much in the 10 minutes he was on the pitch. :?
C'mon BB, GLCQ may be going over the top, but if you're going to try and wind him up, at least talk sense! :laugh:

"He did OK last season..." FFS, what do you want before you say he did really well? :shock:
