Woolwich Gooners versus Tottenham Hotspur OMT

I believe the technical term is a good "doing"

I see I was right on the low scoring game prediction.

Certainly was a good doing nic.
Load of Bollox really, i just reckon it didnt do us any good being expected to win against you.
We are ok being the underdogs, but overawed by the fact we should beat you.
Still finish above you lot though, of that i have no doubt.
You were up for the game and we werent.imo....you had so much to prove.

well it begs the f*cking question WHY were we not up for it for christs sake.

God knows shear, we should have attacked the f*ckers all the game, we just didnt compete.
But i aint getting involved in this , they won and thats that.

yeah your right, best to forget this one and move on. dont do to dwell on it .bad news were gonna lose parker v the mancs now though

because harry is a twat. he couldnt wait to get hes bum boy on.

lennon been our best player of late and what does harry do
bring on 2 players who been out ages.
ok i agree with the sandro sub but we was even worse in the secon half

the goon defence wont have had an easyer second half all season

bale offerd ekotto no protecton what so ever and if he had passed when saha was free to make it 3 0 we mite be all happy now.

we had no wingers again. when will harry learn

jose would never have lost like that today.
if we lose to man u and the goons win then this will be the bigest ever fk up and harry will walk

Don't blame Harry, this was down to the players. All the defenders had off days except Brad.Parker seemed intent on getting a red card and they seemed to give up after the third went in. It's now imperative that we beat Man U next week and with Everton away and Chelsea away this is the defining time for us.

and stoke at home in between, hopefully 3 points.

how can you not blame harry. he picked the team.
he allowed us to play with no width. playing bale in the middle again.

lately the goons cant handle pace. and we didnt use it.
bale on left lennon on right. keep there full backs back

but what does twitchy do.
sagna and walcot every time down right aganst ekotto. if bale had played on left then they wouldnt got forward as much.

Gotta say, i didnt recognise the team today. Where was Bale playing? anybody? Should be Bale on the Left, Lennon on the Right. Simple 442. hats whts worked for us all season.

That, Whats.

Did the party break up early ?

One odd bit that struck me in the game was Friedel wasting time after Spuds went 2-0 up - about 20 minutes into the game

Is that a tactic or do you reckon he was using his initiative ?

i just cant get over harry not playing lennon. he would of pushed your lot back. this is a future england manager and again hes tactics aganst a good side he comes up missing.

" may have caught his trailing leg"

You have to larf

there was no reason for vdv ahead of lennon

i new harry would bring on vdv first chance he gets.

because harry is a twat. he couldnt wait to get hes bum boy on.

Dont be so childish, we are all hurting Lought, but you pick the same players every time. Yes Bale could have offered Ekotto more protection, but here we got the Sunday league Benny, why all the fancy overhead clearance that fell straight to Van Persie to make it 2-2? where was he for both of Walcotts goals and Sagna'a header? at the end of the day, he is a left back and for all Gibbs failings more often than not he is in position.
Anyhoo Gooners go to Pool over confident and our players come in to training this morning and will get an almighty bollocking from Harry. Expect to see Lennon against Evra, he always has a good game against him and remember, Goonies and Chelski still have to win 3 more games than us to overtake us.

Tactics and team saelection played a big part in our defeat so Harry has to take a lot of the blame but a few players came up a lot short today and were found out under pressure. Ekotto had another one of his cavalier days when anything goes and he has to many of them for me.I was also dissapointed in Walker, today it was just head down and run anywhere.Adybyyor had another ordinary game his first touch is woeful bounces off him straight to the opposition.

If the gooners can do this to us I worry about the result against Utd and with the games coming up we could be in 5th place within 4 games and then Harry will definately walk.

But I hope it's just a one off blip and the players havent been believing all the hype that's been written about them.

i dont worry to much about the utd game,were a different prospect at home.yesterday was a bad day with to many players not performing as they can, the worst thing to happen was going 2 up so quickly imo, it took all the passion out of us and gave the impotus to them to fight harder. ridiculous i know, but thats how i saw it develop.just the crowd will be well up for it on sunday now and i expect a great performance coming and 3 points and back on track.

just been looking at the fixtures and most from us,a*se,Chelski,Pool have still got to play each other, then sling in some relegation threatened clubs and we are long time dead, meanwhile a*se and Chelski out of 12 games have got to win 3 more then us, tall order. As for yesterday, its like when the Spammers played us, could raise their game, but was poor against everyone else and I expect the Gooners to be the same. Small margins though and two things before it was 2-1, Bale clean through and only had to roll it to Saha and 3-0, then Walker trying to break the net when he had time to control it first and shoot, its down to Harry to sit at the video machine with these guys and go over better options. Its a shame the Internationals are this week, so the lads get off a bollocking this morning.
Dont forget Gooners and Chelski have Champs League matches to play and a lot can happen during the the International friendlies this week.

This is supposed to be what our manager knows, so most of the time I guess its down to the small brained football player to make the decisions, because I cant believe Harry would have sent them out to play like that.

yea thats true dj. but if they beat liverpool and we do our normal bottling it aganst man u then we wont finnish 3rd.
all depends if liverpool can get points of them


i hear now vdv is injuird.
