Title could still be on but maybe a bit too much, but that second automatic place is up for grabs.

We haven't won six league games in a row, for at least twenty years.

Are we on the way back up, Monkey?

Do you want atmosphere or not.

I have my own reasons for hating Palace. They are a) Benteke: don't like the guy, feel he's overrated. **** with Liverpool, **** with Palace. b) their ****ing fans and their cheering for goalscorers - "Goal by Wilfred Zaha. Wilfred?" and the crowd roar "ZAHA!" Yeah guys I think we know his name. Jesus! c) thier ****ing theme song. I mean "Glad All Over"? Gimme a break. Also hate Hodgson. **** them. I so wanted them to go down so I wouldn't have to hear their nonsense next season.

One good thing about them: those cheerleaders.

There are not many natural goalscorers in world football.

Kane is one of them, and one of the few players who live up to their hype.

Just hope he keeps this up. There is no reason for me to think he can't.

Kane

Do you see Kane doing a Bale, heading for the Costa del Futbal?

Also: what is this with Man City "taking a break till March"? Are they that confident/arrogant? They could really have their lead cut if United and Liverpool or Spurs step up in the interim. That ever happened before? I don't remember it, even when the title race was a done deal months prior to the end of the season...

Best game of the season. Maybe since the Cup semi final.

We are back.

Bruce looked like he was in tears after the first goal.

@TH

Dunno what you're referring to with Man City but re: Kane, I dunno. From what he's been saying he wants to stay in England and probably at Tottenham. I'd say money talks and if Spurs don't pay the top wages he will go. They might get another year out of him.

I'm talking about the fact that City won't be playing any more Prem matches until March. They said so on MOTD. They're what, seventeen points ahead now, so I doubt anyone could catch them but it seems a little arrogant/silly to be doing that, and I never heard of anyone doing it before.

They've got fixtures in three other competitions to play before then. And March is what, just over two weeks away? Seems pretty normal to me. The FA will decide when league games are played and they will still have to play their final game on the same day as everyone else unless I'm missing something. Its not them being arrogant.

Should this thread be merged with the European football thread?

~~Cuthbert~~ · 02-13-2018, 04:43 PM

No.
