What a massive 3 points! You look at how Spurs have played this season and before the game. I looked at it and thought a point would be a good result, but deep down I thought we were capable of beating them. And to go and actually do it is massive. Laughable to listen to the media coverage after the game, talking about the injuries to key Spurs players. Not one mention of Allan St-Maximin, Alexander Isak and Jonjo Shelvey (only just back). All 3 […]
Newcastle United lost to Tottenham Hotspur yesterday at St James’ Park. United matched the visitors quite comfortably in the first half when they still had 11 men. But the game changed due to a sending off that happened – and a sending off that should have happened but didn’t. Jonjo Shelvey was the United culprit. Trying to retrieve the ball to take a free kick, the ball was petulantly pushed away by Deli Alli. In return, Shelvey stood on Ali’s foot as he walked across […]
It is a belief in some quarters of football that to gain success, there must be an element of continuity – particularly when it comes to managers. The proponents of this theory point to Sir Alex Ferguson and the success he had as long-term manager of Manchester United. After a somewhat dodgy start his board stood behind him when even the Manc (cockney?) fans were baying for him to be chucked out. Personally, I think there’s a lot more to a club being successful than […]
It’s difficult being Tottenham Hotspur, and I for one have sympathy with their long-suffering fans. It’s bad enough being the club living in the shadow of a massive club like Arsenal. But it gets worse. The London-based media keep trying to call them a “big club” – a label which then puts pressure on them to try to force their way into the top four of the Premier League and into one of the Champions League places. Something which they strive for but always seem […]
Newcastle United kicked off the new season with a home game against the side who just pipped us to fourth place last season. Whilst United have remained stable over the summer (so far anyway!), Tottenham have been in relative turmoil – sacking Droopy, and his dog, and his dog’s bank account – and replacing them with Andreas Villas-Boas, “AVB” to the London-based media, the failed Chelsea Manager. Astonishingly, Tottenham came into this game with only one senior striker on their books – Jermaine Defoe – […]
The 2012/13 season gets well and truly underway at St James’ Park today when Newcastle United entertain Tottenham Hotspur. Kick off is at 5.30pm on Saturday 18th August. For those United fans who can’t get to the game for whatever reason it will be televised live on ESPN – and of course there will be a spate of online links, if you know any good ones please post them below. This is an important game for United as it’s always good to get an early […]
