I always new Rooney was going to be great. Ever since I saw him play for Everton in his debut match when he was 16 so I have all you faggots beat.

Not just the goal, but it's really great watching Modric and Kranjcar combining so well.
Who said that there is no place for both of them in Tottenham? :p
Every time Tottenham plays I go to Eurosport to check who played, than come back here to see the reactions. :D


Fred...and Harry Redknapp. :p



ReMaD links?
Feck off both of you. :p

In my defense, i said that i would have played them together had i been Tottenham manager but Redknapp is unlikely to field the pair together. I still think Harry would have never played them together if it weren't for Tottenhams injuries. They had both Bentley and Lennon injured(their two right wingers) So actually Harry didn't really have a choice, he had to play Niko on the right.

So in the end, i wasn't really wrong was i? :D

I don't think so. A poll perhaps?
How about people like me who have been living abroad all their lives?

Indeed. But I don't want to see Manure win anything.

Get your fucking cunt asses together and win that goddamn league you Frenchies.
If injuries be a little more nicer to us, and we don't do the annual end of season self destruction, we actually have an easier run of games than both United and Chelsea.

I'm not into the media are against us argument.

But i do think the lower table teams play against us more aggressively than they do other teams, because their is a perception that if you play rough with Arsenal you can beat them. Thats no secret actually, Tony Pulis himself said before the game that they are going to be rough with us because we can't deal with that style of play.

So to be honest the English FA are cunts for letting these kinda tackles happen and not adequately punishing these tackles.

Its no coincidence that these injuries happen frequently in the EPL, and don't happen in other top leagues like the Italian and Spanish.

"The game has moved forward but the Football Association and the Premier League are content to have a brutal side to the game," he told BBC Wales.

"In my opinion this is born out of most managers and coaches facing Arsenal, plus media pundits and even ex-players, instructing their players to get in their faces.

"Arsenal are a relatively small team. Opposing players are told to shake them up, get in their faces, tackle hard, bully them. I would defy coaches and managers to deny that is the case.

Only a few years ago I read a piece decrying Arsenal as a team of speedy giants - the shortest first teamer was Pires, who was about 6'0" or so - meaning that the team was strong, good in the air and fast. The article argued that this was the way big teams were heading, that smaller teams with skillful players would become a thing of the past, beaten down by the supermen.

Ha-ha.

I completely agree with Bob here. Known fact, managers even brag about it actually, getting rough with Arsenal. Its about time this thug style football stopped. This isn't the first of these injuries and certainly wont be the last, until the FA decide to do something about it.

How ironic.
