Tottenham are “waiting to be on the end of something big” against Chelsea, says Arsenal legend

[Chilli]

Fair play, kind of

Had a feeling there was going to be loads of goals, just wasn't sure if we could actually do it.

 

[bryanabutler]

I think , Merson might need a drink now, also what a great New Year , Pool draw, arse lose, and we beat that load of S- - T

So many pundits these days are an absolute joke. It amazes me that Sky and other broadcaster's allow them to be so obviously unprofessional. Seeing Jenas on MOTD the other day was such a relief to me! Finally someone that speaks well, knows what he's talking about and isn't biased at all is favoured over the usual numpties they invite!

It's simple really, there's more channels than there are quality broadcasters to fill their airtime so the flotsam and jetsam get to fill in. That's how Savage got his gig, he's a worse broadcaster than he was a footballer.

Yeah, you're right. It's just a shame the companies aren't more strict about the pundits being completely impartial. I actually don't mind Savage, he's not one to listen to if you want to learn about the game, but he seems an alright bloke and he's not biased from what I've seen. It's the really biased ones like Thompson, Merson, Souness etc that really get on my tits, because they aren't doing their job properly when they are perfectly well equipped to do so and their warped opinions influence so many people that can't think for themselves

 

[DiscoD1882]

He's a biased prick but to be honest he is probably right. However I think we will get a few too, it'll be something silly (but very exciting), like 3-5, if I know my spurs

Oh no he di'nt????

 

[shelfmonkey]

Funny, as it's been a few years since they last got 3 points at white hart lane

Thash right!! We fuggin do!! Ya fuggin barshstard!!

While we're on the subject of pundits. This is the quote from Bradley Allen on today's match. I must say I often find him illogical and a bit critical, especially considering that he is an employee of the club:

"Tottenham showed everybody tonight how to play against Chelsea. I think Chelsea can justifiably say they've played a lot of games in recent weeks, and it caught up with them. This was a free hit for Tottenham tonight."

They beat us there in 2013, so not that long. They also spanked us in 2012 at the Lane, but it was the cup, so no three points.

We've only lost once in last 10 in the league at home against them tho

Gotta love Merson, what a twat

 

[whitestreak]

If you think about it Merson quote was spot on...just not how he meant it!
We walloped them simples
We were on the end of something big.. The right end

 

[Navin R Johnson]

We sort of expect it when a journalist follows his proprietor's agenda and when Adrian Durham makes an inflammatory comment to get the premium rate lines flowing but I don't see the point of a TV company employing these one trick ponies who can only pass biased opinions in favour of their old club or against their traditional foes. Alan Smith is another one.

 

[mano-obe]

I think Merson got it spot on, he just got the teams mixed up. Good lad

 

[wills]

Merson what's the score, Merson, Merson what's the score?

 

[talkshowhost86]

Merse merse wherever you may be
Don't you stir from your sixth whisky
Just enjoy predicting stupidly
Whilst we beat Chelsea 5-3.

 

[TottenhamMattSpur]

Dear Paul,

 

[walworthyid]

They didn't beat us in 2013. It was 1-1. Paulinho missed a golden chance just before half time when we were 1-0 up. Torres got sent off.

Yeah, that's exactly how I feel about it. The stupid thing is they know the game well enough to see what's what, yet they still can't bring themselves to say a negative thing about the team they support and are biased when they are capable of giving well educated opinions and these companies don't seen to mind that they aren't getting the best they can out of their employees like every other company in the world. It just makes no sense to me!

 

[TheGreenLily]

He was right though, we was on the end of something big... A 5-3 smashing of Chelsea

 

[guiltyparty]

October 2012, sorry. Typo. 4-2.

 

[TottenhamMattSpur]

AVB's first game against Chelsea, lost 4-2. Bit of a blot on an otherwise decent home record against them going back years.

 

[lenny7]

Well guess who looks a complete **** now.
