Keane with 4 goals, wow.

As for Chelsea, disgraceful performance. Absolutely DISGRACEFUL!

    Don't really think you can judge one way or another off one game (would you really say Wigan is better than Chelsea?)

    But 3 goals came with Crouch on and his other goal came from a penalty that he didn't earn.

    TBH you haven't made an argument

    3 goals with crouch on !! Crouch was barely sighted

    he didn't earn the penalty but he earnt the reputation to be a good penalty take!

    And he put it in calmly!

    Crouch is a great impact player to come on around 60-70 min mark if the team needs

    to mix it up. But keane virtually plays as a very attacking midfielder he gets on the ball more than

    crouch and Defoe. I dunno if u watched the game? But I don't really need an argument

    keane scored 4 , could have had 5 or 6 and created 2 chances for Defoe and one each for Lennon N crouch

    Fair enough, each to their own.

    I just don't like playing Keane and Defoe as our forwards with no tall target - it may work against Burnley but I don't think it works against the top ranked teams.

    Would you expect any different?

    5-1

    I would not expect that. 5 goals is very good even against Preston, this is soccer we are talking about btw.

    Niko Kranjcar - New signings for spurs, 2 mil fee.

    Big match coming up this weekend, Chelsea vs. Liverpool at Stamford Bridge.

    Chelsea coming off a 3-1 loss to Wigan and a 1-0 win against Cypriot team APOEL in the Champions League.

    Liverpool coming off a 6-1 demolition of Hull and a 2-0 loss against Fiorentina in the CL.

    Should be interesting based on recent results, both teams should come out firing.

    2-2 with the spuds, for once I will actually say that Megson picked a decent team who attacked and played some awesome football, and we were unlucky not to get all 3 points.

    Normal service resumes in the Prem tomorrow after international duties.

    GG apologies for wide berth, busy on relocation stuff still.

    Sir Alex has again apologised about criticising Ref Alan Wiley. This time to the FA...... Lawyers written all over it. Should be banned but wont be.

    Tottenham head to Pompey in which the old crew may attract a bit of nastiness. Redknapp, Crouch, Defoe and Kranjcar may feel the heat in the cold down at Fratten Park......

    Chelsea head to Villa Park on TOP>

    Man U host Bolton minus Rooney. Definate for Wednesday in Moscow. Berba hasnt come back from Bulgaria after his tart popped a baby tot yesterday. Owen should be right.

    Sunderland Host Liverpool minus Stevie G. Injured in England Training

    Gooners Host the newly cash injected Brummies after Carson Yeung vowed to spend at least £40M in the January Transfer window.

    That's all for now. GG

    Spurs of last season. We need Modric.

    We were always in trouble when Lennon got injured at 12 min mark and had to go off.

    Meanwhile, epic match last night.

    Mancs and Arsenal giving up 2-0 leads eased my heart a little.

  • Quote

    you Spurs fans Mr Morton and 45hotgood16?

    Great minds, huh?

    With Lennon and Modric out we need to play Bale and Jenas, no arguments even though I'm not a JJ fan. Always turns it up against Arsenal so worth a try. If Bentley plays (which he deserves, but Harry doesn't seem to like him) we should play Hutton at RB. Charlie offeres us nothing without Lennon's tricks which tend to attract the RB and RW, thus freeing Ved up for a smart one-two. Hope King and possibly Woodgate are fit though. Ledders is an absolute star.

    Marlon King Sacked immediately from Wigan.....

    Why - Jailed for 18 months for punching a 20 yo girl in the face at a west end night club after groping her and got knocked back.

    Mixed race toss bag should have got more. 13 previous convictions since 1997 including 2 assualts against women shows the coward for who he really is.

    Family members shouted at the judge: As the sentence was handed down, members of the soccer star's family screamed: "Institutional racism."

    One relative shouted: "Heil Hitler," while another roared: "Steven Gerrard's still walking the streets"

    Nice one Judge!!!

    Anyway - Gooners V Spurs this weekend should be a beauty.

    Hull boss Phil Brown has 2 games to get outta the relegation zone or walk the plank.

    Chelsea face Bolton again after 4-0 [censored] at the Carling cup mid week this time away.

    Fulham V Liverpool at the cottage looks the fixture for me.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
