You were nothing special and roundly booed at half time. Nice dive aswell for yet another penalty this season

 

[jimharri]

Another one goal win for Tottingham; it's a thrill-a-minute ride for all you Spurs fans this season, eh?

I wasn't booing, I thought we had played well before half time and I was pretty sure there would be a breakthrough 2nd half which there was.

I can usually tell if we're going to struggle to score but it didn't seem that way in this game. Always felt like we had a couple goals in us.

Come on Mark, a dive? Slag em all day long mate, but that was a penalty.

You really are a Silly Sausage.

I'll have you know that I'm the proud winner of the Glory Glory Paul Stalteri Award of Overall Excellence.

"Paul Stalteri Award of Overall Excellence"

BWUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA!!!!!

Paul Stalteri & Excellence in the same sentence!!

BWUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!

Whooosh!

The subtle humour of Glory Glory is obviously well over your head.

And yours it would seem.

Hate to break it to you but they awarded you a prize which is a piss take, ergo they were taking the piss.

They think you're an embarrassment.

We just think you're a ****.

Tottenham Hotspur host Newcastle United at White Hart Lane in the 11th Round of matches of the 2013-14 Premier League season on Sunday 10th November 2013 (KO 12:00).

Spurs come into the match in 4th place in the Table on 20 points with Newcastle in 9th place on 14 points.

This will be the 151st time the two clubs have met.

The first meeting came in the old second round (today's fourth round) of the FA Cup in February 1905 with Newcastle drawing 1-1 at White Hart Lane before winning the replay at St James' Park 4-0. To date, the clubs have met 9 times in the FA Cup.

The clubs met for the first time in the Football League in November 1909 in the First Division with Newcastle winning 1-0 at St James' Park and completing the 'double' over Spurs with a 4-0 win at White Hart Lane in March 1910.

Tottenham's first win over Newcastle came in a First Division match at White Hart Lane in November 1912 with Jimmy Cantrell scoring the only goal of the match.

There were further meetings in the First Division up to season 1933-34 with honours generally pretty even.

An FA Cup 4th round match in January 1935 was won 2-0 by Spurs at White Hart Lane with George Hunt (Spurs' record goalscorer until Bobby Smith) scoring both goals.

The next 12 meetings between the clubs came in the Second Division of the Football League either side of World War Two from 1935-36 to 1947-48. These dozen matches were the only League games contested between Spurs and Newcastle outside the Top Flight of English Football.

The 1950-51 season saw Spurs win their first Football League Championship and in the process they did the 'double' over Newcastle winning 7-0 at home and 1-0 away. The 70,336 spectators at White Hart Lane for that emphatic 7-0 win were the largest crowd at any Spurs v Newcastle fixture in history.

Spurs beat Newcastle United in the 1952 Charity Shield 2-1 at White Hart Lane with Les Bennett and Peter 'Spud' Murphy scoring the goals which won the silverware.

The first Football League Cup meeting came in the Semi-Finals in January 1976 with John Pratt scoring the winning goal at White Hart Lane in the first leg but Newcastle winning 3-1 at St James' Park despite a Don McAllister goal to advance to the Wembley Final.

Newcastle United, along with West Ham United, were the first clubs to be promoted to the Premier League for the 1993-94 season and Spurs won the first match against Newcastle in the competition 1-0 away at St James' Park with a Teddy Sheringham goal. The Magpies had their revenge at White Hart Lane in December with a 2-1 win.

An FA Cup Semi-Final at Old Trafford in April 1999 was won 2-0 by Newcastle after extra time.

Newcastle lost their Premier League status at the end of the 2008-09 season but won promotion at the first attempt managed by former Spurs player and assistant manager Chris Hughton. Hughton was sacked under controversial circumstances in December 2010 and Alan Pardew was appointed as Newcastle's new manager.

The fixture at St. James' Park in October 2011 resulted in a 2-2 draw. Rafael van der Vaart opened the scoring from the penalty spot after 40 minutes. Demba Ba pulled Newcastle level three minutes into the second half but Jermain Defoe's 68th minute goal looked like securing all three points. Substitute Shola Ameobi scored a late equaliser for Newcastle. The reverse fixture at White Hart Lane in February 2012 resulted in a comprehensive 5-0 win for Spurs with goals from Benoit Assou-Ekotto, Louis Saha (2), Niko Kranjcar and Emmanuel Adebayor.

The opening match of the 2012-13 season at St James' Park resulted in a 2-1 win for Newcastle. Demba Ba put United ahead after 54 minutes with Jermain Defoe equalising for Spurs after 76 minutes. Ben Arfa was fouled by Aaron Lennon and he scored from the penalty spot for the winner on 80 minutes.

Spurs won their home League game in February 2013 2-1 with two goals from Gareth Bale, the first coming after 5 minutes from a free-kick and the second after 78 minutes. Yoan Gouffran had levelled things for Newcastle mid-way through the first half.

Tottenham Hotspur have won 63 of the 150 matches played so far with Newcastle United winning 55 and the remaining 32 games drawn.

Very hard to enjoy watching Europa league games, after the highs of brilliant champions league action you get drab rubbish low key disinteresting games in a competition that doesn't really start till champions league teams drop in it. At least if Dortmund end up in it there may be more interest and a final between spurs and Dortmund might be watchable.

You do realise that 10 clubs from the Champions League are already participating in the Europa League, don't you?

You mustn't have seen it mate, a nailed on penalty if I ever saw one. Conparing that to what that pin head in the next town over does is just silly.

Doesn't make it good to watch, your football certainly doesn't help.

Tottenham are completely "meh" at the moment, always just doing enough.

City and Arsenal play the best football to watch in this league by a mile.

Am I missing something, or do you mean the ones that FAILED to qualify for the competition proper, meaning they are not FROM the Champions League?
