People giving Giroud a hard time just look at the stats 15 prem games this season 7 goals and 4 assists compared to 34 games 11 goals and 7 assists last season! He has barely missed a game and looks shattered he just needs a rest hopefully Pod can link up nicely with Ozil and start giving Giroud some competition!

Giroud is a very decent sticker, nowhere near worldclass but decent!

I think he is very underated and in time that may come to show if we sign a striker in January, hope not but think it might

You can see that Olly is feeling the effects of playing every league and champions league game in a tough intense league.

We need Podolski back, Walcott banging them in like he did on Saturday and also a striker in January.

Still, Giroud has done pretty well and is trying to lead the line as best he can. It's not HIS fault were threadbare upfront.

Hey CTR - love the term 'sticker' presumably as in 'one who sticks the ball away'?

Sorry if he can't play most of the games I'm right ain't I? look at Suarez, Ageuro and Rooney as examples, they play most games for their team yet still seem to be able to stay sharp and score

This si true redman but they are a very different type of player to Giroud he is a target man.

And no he is not world class right now but he has gotten progressively better just like Drogba did at a similar age and with a similar scoring record from Ligue 1 so hopefully he will get there Drogba was far from world class his first two seasons.

I love it!

I haven't forgotten the cheating, the horrible refs, Neuer grabbing the ball after Kos's goal like a petulant child so we couldn't get the game restarted quickly

Im glad we drew Bayern

Payback time

Sorry mate u can dress it up as much as u want, your going out.

And what is it that suggests you not? Must be your season so far that make's you so confident about your chances

And you are 8th in the premier league at christmas stranger things have happened!

Ctr, I'm confused

Are we a worse team than we were last year? Because we beat them last year

Shut them out at home.

No Wilshere or Cazorla, didn't matter

Maybe we were watching different matches

Thats not nice CTR,
Yes, we know Bayern are an awesome team but we are capable of beating them mate.

CTR from what I've read is a pathetic little poster who likes to come on here when he has something to grasp at because his beloved Manchester United are a shadow of there former selves.

Not a very likeable person at all.

Not being nasty just honest guys!
All the smoke blowing about time wasting and dodgy decisions is all exactly that! U were beaten by the best team in Europe and u will be again!
U getting drawn against bayern has nothing to do with us, u finished 2nd albeit in a very tough group.

But on the brightside at least u cam solely focus on the league.

Had to turn my telly off last night as CTR was on every channel, INTERFERENCE

And what I see jenny is a very rude little girl who talks before she thinks!

Have I offended any1? Have I been rude? I was meerly pointing out that yes u should look forward to the game but imo u will go out!

A team who comfortably beat city THIS season away, the same city who put 6 past u are the favourites, just because I disagree with u makes me a person?, its an opinion!

Its has nothing to do with united, as a football fan I make bayern clear favourites, but I always want the english clubs to do well and wish u a win, just can't see it.

Why on earth would I talk before I think, your first post a dismissive jibe as much as your 2nd post.

Your third a direct reply to me, you actually thought about what you said and then posted with some thought.

Because you have what you believe is an easy tie is the simple reason you post on here. You are, on form against a team of similar standing with no gaurantee of progression.

And we know exactly how good Giroud is we don't have a need to label players as world class when they are not.

You should note, I used the word person, it was not edited.

Jenny, you know that person who calls the police at 8.05pm to complain about the noise of the street party every one else in the street has been invited to?
Meet CTR

Yes G62 I think you're right.

CTR, you know I have nothing against you, far from it.
But, its what you said in your first post that has seemed to annoy people.
You said "You are going out", eg that's a statement. Now, if you had said something like "In my opinion you are going out", that's entirely different, you are expressing an opinion, an opinion you are more than entitled to make.
Play nicely mate and stop being a playground bully (smiles)

City is a phenomenally good team right now, they just beat Bayern. Means nothing

In both matches we had chances we could have converted and would have moved on last year

For all their so called superiority, they beat us because of the dumbest rule in sports, the away goal rule

We will strengthen in January. And when we face them, we will be ready

Maybe they move on, but it's not a foregone conclusion. Not even close

A man is sitting in a pub with his jack russell dog one Sunday afternoon. The football results are coming up on the television in the corner: "Stoke City 2, Tottenham Hotspur 1, " reads the announcer. Suddenly the jack russell jumps up and shouts out, "Oh, no, not again." The shocked landlord says, "That's amazing. Why did he say that when it was announced that Tottenham lost?" "Because he's a Spurs supporter, " the dog's owner replies. The landlord then asks what the dog says when Tottenham win a match, to which the man replies, "I don't know. I've only had him six months."

So this morning a meeting took place between Daniel levy and AVB, many things were said but the final outcome was that it was best for both parties that he left, reports suggest it was sealed with a high 5-0 lol sorry I couldn't resist :) can't wait to face Bayern Munich, this year they will underestimate us ;) Remember as well that pep has never won at the emirates.
COYG!

Haringey council has blocked Tottenham's plans to build a new ground on Northumberland Park. A town hall source said: "We don't mind having a funfair there once a year, but a circus every fortnight is a bit much."

Tesco are releasing new Oxo cubes in Spurs colours. Customers are told to look out for laughing stocks.

A young boy goes to social services and tells them he has nowhere to live. "What about your parents?" asks the social worker. "No, they beat me, " says the boy. "What about your grandparents?" says the social worker. "No, they beat me even harder!" says the boy. "Well . where do you want to stay then?" replies the social worker. "Tottenham, " says the boy. "They don't beat anyone.

Daniel Levy, shortly after watching another training session, comments to the head groundsman at White Hart Lane how impressive the pitch is looking. "It ought to, " replies the groundsman. "We put 100 million quid's worth of sh!t on it every week."

I just went down to the newsagents and bought Tottenham Hotspur magazine. Thank goodness they had porn mags to hide it in.

A man was found dead floating in the Thames, wearing a blond wig, full make-up, bra, knickers, suspenders and a Spurs shirt. Before informing the next of kin the police removed the Spurs shirt to save the family embarrassment.

Golds you crack me up mate

Bayern in Champs League, ouch that's going to hurt lol

AVB has just been sacked by Spurs.
Although I don't like them, it is a shame and a bit of a knee-jerk reaction IMO

Your right there DG. I would like to have seen him in charge till the end of the season and take them down lol

I know they should have kept him and they may have been relegated :D

Hes had more sacks than Santa. Just keeping it Christmasy .! Smiles .

OOOOOOOHHH you lot are so nasty lol

The Chelsea game is very important for us. A win would be beautiful, as it will show to the pundits that we can beat the so-called "big dogs" and bounce back from two defeats. It'll boost our confidence even more for the games against West Ham and Newcastle away, too. If we win all three, which is certainly possible for us, we'll be in prime position for the next half of the season. In my opinion, it starts with a good result against Chelsea.

Walcott needs to start against Chelsea and abuse Azpilicueta, who's playing at left-back.

Agree that Walcott has to start and he looked pretty sharp. Great finish for his second goal on Sat.

Will Mourinho go for Ashley Cole at left back on Monday?
