Go Bolton!
Spurs are great for a laugh, but that Levy joker needs to learn a lesson, which will only happen via the wallet. The mighty Hull have to take someone’s spot anyway 
When they come back up hopefully they’ll realise their squad is actually kinda crap and will forget about that top 4 nonsense.
ETA: If they lose today it’ll be hellishly hard to turn it around. Arsenal next after this, they could be 2 points from 10, ouch.
FRETTING.
That is all.
NOT FRETTING! But I feel like I haven’t taken a breath for the last two hours.
Good god does that result make me happy. :D:D I may dream of silverware tonight.
Hehehe, so tell me, will Redknapp take credit for the opposition getting someone sent off? 
Tottenham will REALLY have to screw this one up to not take 3 pts.!!
Oh, and wish we could have watched that Liverpool win. 
Well it looks as if 'appy 'arry is going to get off to a flyer.
Make the most of it Twitcher, it won’t last.
Good on ya 'pool, nice to see the Chelski shower beaten. I told you that Liverpool were a good bet for the prem title this year.
Meanwhile, Man City are stuffing Stoke 3-0, Robinho hat-trick
Woohoo! Excellent. We’ve put clear air between us and the mighty Hull, and that’s what we wanted out of today. Tight match, but quality; the goal may have been lucky, but you couldn’t say the result was ill deserved. Nice to see Babel getting some play as a striker, too, seeing as that’s what he considers himself 'n all.
It’s an interesting move, all right. I think from the position they’re in now survival will be a considerable feat, and will probably be recognised as such even if nobody really believes Spurs will go down. Plus he’ll have to achieve it with largely the same set of players, so people will be more willing to credit him with any change. It’s certainly a gamble on his part, but if he avoids the drop then he’ll be able to see out his career at a genuinely bigger club, with more resources at his disposal.
I’m not sure how I feel about Redknapp, really; on the one hand he has a decent record at Portsmouth, but on the other hand the whole matter of his Southampton switcheroo has been rather conveniently forgotten, and I get a definite whiff of him following the money (not that this is unusual, of course). I think he gets a fairly easy ride in the press because of his affable, straight-talking reputation, but I’m not sure I’d want him managing my club. On the other hand, he practically ran a rehabilitation centre for underperforming footballers at Pompey, so maybe he’s exactly the man to turn Spurs around. He’ll have more difficult matches, but today wasn’t a bad start.
Incidentally, it sounds like dressing room discontent is what finally did for Ramos, so I’m claiming this complete guess as a bit of searing insight: 
In a bit of hilarious irony, though, there are now a few articles attributing Sevilla’s success to their director of football. Anyway, no matter what you think about giving a manager a decent run, if he’s lost the dressing room there’s pretty much only one person who can go.
Financially Portsmouth are f*cked.
Their wage bill is 90% of their income, and they have £60m debt hanging over them. The owners are looking to sell, but at very least they’re going to sell off a bunch of their better players in the near future.
Spurs have plenty of cash, it’s just been badly channelled into the wrong players and the wrong playing style… this nonsense of having a “director of football” as wel as a manager doesn’t work in the English game (cf. Newcastle), but Harry’s been told it’s just him in charge of what happens on the field which will suit himn perfectly.
Redknapp would have jumped at the Spurs job like a shot… once he gets King, Bentley and Bent firing properly they’ll pop back up the table to top 10 yb the new year (only three games away from 7th if results go their way).
Getting King firing properly may take a few medical advances that even Doc 'Arry is going to struggle with.
:eek:
What the hell happened in London?
I had no doubt we’d beat Pompey but I do wish we could rack up a little more in the GD column - single digits make me nervous.
Fucking hell. Just watched the Arsenal-Spurs match.
For neutrals, that must have been a great match–how often do you see a 4-4 result in a North London derby?
For Spurs fans, that must have been a fantastic match. They’d looked to be dead and buried after van Persie scored Arsenal’s 4th.
As a Gooner, all I can say is…
FUCK! :mad: :mad: :mad:
Wow, 35 min. into today’s main matches and Chelsea and Man. U. have got things going, but Arsenal down at Stoke 1 - 0?? Someone had best wake Arsenal up or they are gonna let some important points get away…
Hull City, unlucky at the rags.
Clawed it back to 4-3 but unfortunately were unable to get a draw.
Having conceded 7 goals in the last 2 games it makes you think if Hull’s bubble has burst.
And who would have thought the Arse would lose to the mighty Potters?
Van Persie getting sent off for a stupid challenge on Stokes goalie, Wenger will not be a happy budgie
Ah but, once again the result of the day occurs in The Championship, where a never-say-die Blackpool side come from behind 3 times to defeat Watford 4-3 at Vicarage Road.
Next up is, er, Ipswich at home on Saturday next, at the infamous two-sided wind-tunnel that is Bloomfield Road. Even the home team can’t play their excellent passing game there because of the difficult meteorological conditions which invariably apply.
Furthermore, travelling Ipswich supporters had better pray for good weather because the away facilities at Blackpool are nothing short of disgraceful.
My beloved Arsenal :(:(
At least Hull almost made my day! GO TOTTENHAM
re their conceding chowder, 99% of teams do that lame 4-5-1 crap against the likes of Chelsea/Manyoo, Hull actually go for it. So not surprising they concede a bunch, and they almost nicked a point.
Beloved Arsenal, but at the same time Go Tottenham? Does not compute.
I’m South African, I don’t care about that city rivalry stuff 
I just like teams based on how they play. Except Manyoo, I hate them regardless.
Carragher OG, heeeheee.
I couldn’t agree with you more.
There’s more sand on Blackpools pitch than there is on the beaches of Normandy.
On the other hand you can go see Albert mess with the lion if you get cheesed off
Discordia : I think I like you
QF fucking T.
I hate being psychic. :mad:
Well, did you predict Harry Houdini showing up two weeks ago?
