Newport County take a deserved first half lead against a Harry Kane led Sp*rs. Proper cup tie with muddy pitch and gusty wind.
So near yet so far. Still, a bonus cash game for Newport and another fixture for sp*rs they would rather avoid.
Baggies knock out Liverpool at Anfield 3-2. Looks like that city win went to their heads. Two bad losses on the bounce. The less said about VAR at this point the better.
Swansea is just Squandering great chances on the break against Arsenal. it's 1-1 and been a good game, but truthfully Swansea should have 3 at least.
lol, swansea up because arsenal.... a backpass that really souldn't have happend put cech under pressure and he completely flubs it right into to jordan ayew who one touch passes it in. big mistake by cech probably, but he should have never had to deal with a backpass there.
Theo with a first half brace for his new club. Good for him to get a chance to be an important part of a squad. Hope he kicks on from this.
Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more; Or close the wall up with our English dead. In peace there's nothing so becomes a man As modest stillness and humility: But when the blast of war blows in our ears, Then imitate the action of the tiger; Stiffen the sinews, summon up the blood, Disguise fair nature with hard-favour'd rage; Then lend the eye a terrible aspect; Let pry through the portage of the head Like the brass cannon; let the brow o'erwhelm it As fearfully as doth a galled rock O'erhang and jutty his confounded base, Swill'd with the wild and wasteful ocean. Now set the teeth and stretch the nostril wide, Hold hard the breath and bend up every spirit To his full height. On, on, you noblest English. Whose blood is fet from fathers of war-proof! Fathers that, like so many Alexanders, Have in these parts from morn till even fought And sheathed their swords for lack of argument: Dishonour not your mothers; now attest That those whom you call'd fathers did beget you. Be copy now to men of grosser blood, And teach them how to war. And you, good yeoman, Whose limbs were made in England, show us here The mettle of your pasture; let us swear That you are worth your breeding; which I doubt not; For there is none of you so mean and base, That hath not noble lustre in your eyes. I see you stand like greyhounds in the slips, Straining upon the start. The game's afoot: Follow your spirit, and upon this charge Cry 'God for Harry, England, and Saint George!' ... for those that are thinking, 'But most of our lot aren't English', I say... SHUT UP!
Well, he also scored goals for us and yet we let him go so I'm not sure simple stats tell the whole story.
Saw the match this morning. Looks like he's played with this club for a while now. Hardly looked like was his fist match with BVB.
We have a decent discussion going on in All Our Youth Are On Loan To You thread. It can't be disputed. He scores goals. All the other shit needs work, but I want my forwards to score. He puts himself in great positions. His first goal was exactly that. Think it was Toljan who ran to the byline and Michy just dropped off into some space at the top of the 6 yard box. We ar le struggling to even get that from anyone in our side right now.
I'll sign up for that thread. Well hopefully he'll be able to get us into a CL spot at end of season as we search for Auba's replacement. We got Modeste so based on his performance I'm not sure who will play as striker more between the two.
Agreed on both counts. Crazy stuff. Looking forward to the fallout. I suspect a tiny minority of Liverpool fans will see how that second penalty was awarded. The rest will be baying for blood and calling for bans for all of the officials and an ironic shout for VAR. A point helps no-one but the way both teams played today spells a warning for us in our quest for top 4. Huge match tomorrow or its for nothing.
Absolutely brilliant watch for Spurs fans and neutrals alike. Had everything you want. On your last point, we're well and truly ********ed.
