Spurs must be idiots to think we're being sarcastic. Obviously we will win by at least 5 and win the league. :Sigh: An internet forum is a jokey chat, it hasn't got to be depicted in detail like some of them are doing. Let's just enjoy the game. COME ON YOU ORRRRRNNNNSSSSS!
Famously, Alf Garnett supported yer 'ammers. Less famously, Warren Mitchell who died recently, supported Spuds.
Back in the late 90's, Clare Buckfield the daughter in the aforementioned programme was a frequent visitor to the Harlequin with her Mum and Sister. Can we claim her for the yellow team?
I come across a lot of Spurs fans and they are very much 'glass half empty' in the main. Perhaps, as others have suggested,because of Arsenal's dominance. I remember the first time in the PL there were a few of their fans in the Rookery,being rather obnoxious. I was recently coaching an armchair Spurs fan and he was extremely rude about Capoue and clearly had a degree in condescension towards us. I expect to hear their well known rallying cry 'M n u errrrrrrs' or whatever it is in english. 1-1 to us.
Last time we played them our team was: 01 Loach 02 Hodson Booked 06 Mariappa 12 Doyley 33 Nosworthy 04 Eustace 19 Buaben 22 Murray (Yeates - 67' ) 09 Deeney 20 Sordell 25 Garner (Whichelow - 80' ) Remarkable how far we've come.
Tottenham are on course for equaling their best ever finish in the PL - and we're only three points behind them at start of play.
Even if Lester win, avoid a defeat today and we should go top of the form table http://www.statto.com/football/stats/england/premier-league/2015-2016/form-table
FIFA Predicts... Gomes; Ake, Britos, Cathcart, Nyom; Watson, Capoue; Jurado, Deeney, Abdi; Ighalo Arlauskis, Parades, Behrami, Guedioura, Ibarbo, Oulare, Diamanti Watford 1 - 1 Tottenham Hotspur 24' - PENALTY - Foul committed by Capoue 24' - GOAL - Kane - Penalty 45' - GOAL - Deeney - Shot from the edge of the box Watford substitutions: 73' - Watson off/Behrami on Man of the match: Odion Ighalo P19 W4 D5 L10 PTS17 GF17 GA25 GD-8 We would be 16th in the table Top scorers: Capoue (5) Ighalo (3) Britos (2) Most assists: Watson (4) Anya (2) Deeney (2)
I think we'll lose this 2 or 3 nill. They're a decent side and as has been said probably a better version of us. Most of our team has played every single game and will be a hit knackered after Boxing Day. There will be no shame in it as we have ridiculously overachieved this season.
Merson, on being asked whether Iggy or Kane is better, said Kane...but then didn't even know Ighalo's name!! Then mentioned it wouldn't take much money for a club to buy him They really are clueless...
Just said Palace are a bigger club than us (no problem with that) and that they should go for Ighalo in January!! Didn't know Palace had been saving all those pennies.
#watfordfc line-up v @SpursOfficial: Gomes (GK); Anya, Cathcart, Britos, Ake; Capoue, Watson; Abdi, Deeney (c), Jurado; Ighalo.
#watfordfc subs v @SpursOfficial: Arlauskis (GK), Nyom, Pr*dl, Holebas, Behrami, Guedioura, Diamanti.
The bloke is on fire! fantastic build up and beautifully executed goal.. Iggys 30th of the year. 'unlikeable'? **** off!
Chris Kamara reporting on the match for SSN seems to think Ake's red card was a bit harsh, bloody typical :rant:
