    Team vs Newcastle

    Given the state of our squad, he HAS to, right? But given how this window has gone, we couldn't be surprised if his departure announcement was tomorrow. What a mess. I don't think Poch will start anyone Sunday who hasn't played in the past game or two, including Wanyama, although I think he'll...

    MOTM/Ratings Vs ManU

    Vorm: 6. Did everything he was supposed to. Didn't commit any major preventable errors. The main thing is he didn't cause us to miss Lloris too much. Walker: 7.5 The own goal was his only blight, but it wasn't his fault of course. If he hadn't been there, Rooney would've scored anyway. Walker...

    Manchester United Vs Tottenham: Match Thread

    I don't make it a point to slag refs, but he was crap today. Swayed by the crowd. We couldn't get a call to save our lives, while he'd find any reason to blow the whistle at us. Now's a good time to mention my extreme dislike of Ashley Young's flopping ways.

    Manchester United Vs Tottenham: Match Thread

    Agreed. But given the fact that he was placed in that position when we all most of us would rather have had Rose in the game, he performed well.

    Manchester United Vs Tottenham: Match Thread

    Only difference is that we had the worst player on the pitch (Bentaleb). One of his many blunders gave them their goal. And it pains me to dog him because I do like him, but today was just not a good day for him at all.

    Manchester United Vs Tottenham: Match Thread

    Agreed with all this. Davies also played well IMO. Only thing I can add is that United is who we thought they were.

    Ratings vs Everton

    Bentaleb MOM for me as well, for the reasons listed above. Perhaps the thing I'm happiest about is that no one played poorly. Everyone did their part, we won at a ground at which we haven't won for almost a decade, and we finished 5th. Good end to the season.

    Africa Cup of Nations

    Sucks that we're going to be without him for about a month. I just hope he doesn't get injured while he's there.

    Tottenham Vs Chelsea: Match Thread

    Hahahaha! Loved every bit of it. What a half for Kane in particular on such a big stage, ending with that bonus goal in the form of that PK. Earned it simply by hustling. And for the half to be capped off by Mourinho storming down the tunnel!! Hope we can keep it up. Job isn't over, as I'm...

    Leicester City Vs Tottenham: Match Thread

    Except no Di Maria, who was supposedly injured in training in the past few days. Either that or being held out to face us Sunday. Pretty sure he's injured though. Otherwise, wouldn't he at least be on the bench?!

    Tottenham Vs Crystal Palace: Match Thread

    Perspective: Palace has kept only 1 clean sheet in the league all season - a scoreless draw vs Burnley.

    Tottenham Vs Stoke: Match Thread

    Hmmm, are you sure? That'd be a good poll for the official site. Plenty of good options for it.

    Arsenal Vs Tottenham: Match Thread

    The good news is that the priority stays the same win or lose. Before the game: **** you, Gooners!! After (win or lose): **** you, Gooners!! COYS!

    Tottenham vs Liverpool: Match Thread

    It might have already been mentioned, but I'm scared to death of Sterling's blistering pace down the sideline. How we cope with him will be pretty important. Swill be interesting to watch. Would love to beat those Scousers today. Media will be fawning all over Balotelli today. If we want any...
