Adebayor.....

[Plain Speaking]

Second best team in the league? So lets say Spurs played man u in one of game in neutral place. Would spurs be favourites? take bias out of the picture and you were told guess the winner correct and you get 100k. Who would you go for to win that game?

IMO on current form Spurs. United are playing with a fear since the 6-1 and were lucky to beat Swansea. They have no confidence at the moment. Spurs are flying high on confidence, great going forward but can be vulnerable at the back. However Scott parker has transformed their side. He is immense in midfield. As tenacious as Nigel but creative.

Mate...I hate United. But in a one off game they would beat Spurs. Just check their record against Spurs. And why is an unconvincing United winning game a big surprise? They have done this for years. Spurs is a flair team, but they dont have any experience in being a top 4 team. They are in great form right now. But dont forget against Blackburn and Fulham they have been outplayed. also they have had no injuries to Parker, Modric, Bale and Adebayor. Their rivals for 4th are missing some of their key players like Gerrard and Wilshere. lets see Spurs when they get few injuries. The PL is long and we havent even played 1/3

I agree historically Utd would beat Spurs. However Utd are a team in transition. Many of their influential players have recently retired or are past their best, (like Chelsea!). Any sides success is determined by avoiding injuries. Imagine if we lose Silva, Hart or Kompany. I still think we are just ahead of Spurs but I have closely watched both Spurs and Utd recently, (not just MoTD highlights!) and genuinely believe at the moment Spurs are a better side. Whether Cleverley's return makes a big difference we will see. I imagine Utd will look to strengthen their midfield in Jan.

Liverpool had 9 men.

haha.

They had 9 men because they had to resort to kicking the shit out of us because we were smashing them. Did you watch the game?

And you had a full complement of eleven against us.
Did you watch the game ??

I'm confused, are you a Liverpool fan? Our amount of players on the pitch was never really in question was it?

 

[The game 161]

He could of scored 5 or 6 last night.

Yeah definitely, probably should have had a hatrick but I can forgive him because he worked pretty damn hard last night.

We need an up and coming striker who can play a similar role to him, as we'll be in a bit of trouble if he gets injured. I like Defoe but his speciality is not leading the line alone, and don't even get me started on Pav....

He was terrific last night, him and adebayor work well together.

I think most centre forwards would be happy to play with the Bale of last night, but the difficulty is consistently being that good, especially with the expectation on his shoulders. I think Lennon has benefitted with the spotlight being off him as well, he has been doing quietly well for a few games now

I just feel blessed that Bale has something more to aim at then Crouch grinning like a moron :)

 

[BlueJill]

I hate that we are still paying hefty sums on him for salary.

How much are we paying. My understanding is we are not paying hefty sums.

 

[dref619]

they haven't got a centre forward who will do it consistently. hurt them last season, i think it will probably get the better of them this season in the end

 

[didactic]

Any money this is Bales last season as Spurs he simply is too young and too good for them.

"Adebayor hints at Spurs stay"....he'll have to take a £100,000 per week pay cut then!
