Now to cap off a great weekend with Collingwood losing, hope Villa get all 3 points at Tottenham tomorrow morning...

And how over rated is Robbie Keane???...all that money and not a goal.....

Spurs look seriously in danger of not being in the top flight next year the way they're playing...

Quite pathetic with the amount of money they've pumped out for players.

Spot on. They will really miss Berbatov and Keane, they're leading goal scorers last season...


Even though it's a shocker of a start to the season for Spurs...still a long way to go for them to go the only way they can go from at the moment...UP...

But the way the fickle press is in England, the mangers job will be wildly speculated in the media.....and with Keegan and Curbishley already gone this season...the presure is right on Ramos...

Spurs were touting themselves as a top 4 club this year.......for that to happen the proverbial finger needs to be plled out real quick...

GO GUNNERS....

I don't really see how we were pumping ourselves up. Isn't it funny how the same media which says we should be top 4 this year, are the first to turn and say you're rubbish after a bad start.

It seemed illogical to me that we would improve after last year, with such an odd transfer window and the loss of Keane and Berbatov and a host of average, yet pretty consistently played midfielders (and Paul Robinson).

Doubt that we'll go down, after all most big clubs can just spend big (cheat) in the January transfer window and win a few late games. *Cough* West Ham *Cough*

It makes me very pleased to see the Spurs struggling, although it angers me just as much how they always take points off my Blue boys! That 4-4 draw last year, despite being a fantastic sporting spectacle, put a bullet in our title chances.

Must say I've been enjoying the EPL more than the AFL, maybe that's what a succesful team does for you. However, I'd have one Melbourne premiership over 10 premier league titles!

Nice to see another Blue out there IBruce, i didnt know this thread existed over here. We've got some good banter going on over at Ology on the Barclays thread, that i'll replicate here where i can.

Cheers GG

Merseyside Derby tonight, should be massive!

Liverpool need to start kicking into top gear very soon, because Arsenal are looking the goods. Even their 12 years olds beat sides 6-0

And then there was Hull, LOL

Spurs to be related to who?

Well after watching Rob Syles (C*nt!) award a penalty to the scum for a perfect tackle and break the hearts of my boys I shall forever hate his guts!

Ronaldo should be retrospectively red carded for that

What's going on with Spurs? Can't watch tonight's game, but 66% possession and 13 strikes to 8, yet 2-0 down.

Guess that's what happens when you remove two top class strikers and don't replace them. Mind you, they're less potent than our current "strike-force" at the moment!


For once I actually do not think he dived that bad, just left a trailing leg as most do, but I flipped when I saw him point to the spot.

There was a worse dive last night by wigan I think.

The F.A. have to see things like that and issue a yellow or red card after the game, and if it's a yellow then they take that yellow into the next game (so they start the game on 1 yellow, get 1 more and your off)

So sick of diving, it's hard enouhg for teams like Bolton to get a point at Old Trafford let alone beat the scum without their players falling over blades of grass.

Isn't there some stupid stat for penalties at Old Trafford over the last few years? 30 to 5 or something outrageous? That gets extended to include other "big four" clubs

Rob Styles who reffed the game has not reffed a game that United have lost, Make of that what you will.

Yet his record against Bolton is horrible, add the two together and it spells disaster and our manager said something similar pre game when we found out who the ref was.

Swab him. :lol:

So, Man U have been dominated in each of the games he has reffed in. Just a coincidence.

LOL, and then came Sunderland

A bit quiet now 45? Your mob are truly a phenomenon.

In fairness, Hull appear to be the new Reading, and it was a stunning (in the goal-of-the-season-contender sense) free-kick that did Spurs in.

Meanwhile, Nando hauls us from the fire, and yet again Mancunians prove they do indeed hail from some disgusting void where an understanding of football is inconceivable, as Citeh fans go berko at the ref for showing a red card, even though it was clearly justified.

I'll be interested to see how long this flirt with the title race lasts; playing the Chavs at the Bridge in a few weeks will be telling.

Haha in my defence i did mention it in the West Ham thread, so pfft to you sir!

It really is just mind-boggling the things that Spurs do.

How can you move on Defoe, Keane and Berbatov in an 8 month stint, and not sign anyone in their place?

At least Hull are top 3! ......

Always have to laugh at Arsenal though

Good to see another Bolton fan on here.

Good win over the Hammers last night. Good to see us play some decent football. Matty Taylors strike was a cracker.

Up the Wanderers, ey Condemned.

    The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.

  • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

    Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

  • REPORT: Adelaide

    The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.
