Damn you Southampton :-(

{Ed025's Note - dont worry about them dags...they wont be in the top 6 at the end..

03 Mar 2015 22:01:07
Dunno Ed,

They keep hanging in there.

They don't seem to have an out and out goalscorer, but defensively, they are very good mate.

03 Mar 2015 22:11:32
I hope they hang on, as long as we get in, I would much rather them be with us thanananyone else, I'm a sucker for an underdog story :)

03 Mar 2015 22:28:50
Eden did u ever hear about when a cat got trapped under a dead dog? You would like that story

03 Mar 2015 22:39:08
I was doing a bit of plumbing once and got stuck under the toilet.

Oh wait, that's an underbog story.

Sorry.

04 Mar 2015 13:31:51
Dags LOL.

03 Mar 2015 20:06:13
What do you horrible lot want to happen when Debuchy comes back injury? Do you think Bellerin has earned his place, in the short term at least. I would love to see Bellerin start with Debuchy on the bench. That certainly wouldn't please Debuchy but I can't help but feel with enough game time right now, Bellerin could be our number one RB for years to come.

03 Mar 2015 20:21:11
Love Bellerin but Debuchy is the finished article.

Between the pair of them, we could have the right back position locked down for the past 10 years.

03 Mar 2015 20:54:11
May the best right back win

03 Mar 2015 20:58:00
Bellerin needs a rest, but doesn't deserve to lose his place in the team.

{Ed025's Note - a rest?...he plays 90 minutes a week MgM...im tiling an apartment in the freezing cold and no one wants me to have a rest..

03 Mar 2015 21:04:31
On a slightly different note Is it already too late to loan Bellerin out next season...is he already the finished article? I would be tempted to bring Jenks back next season to compete with Debuchy with Bellerin going out on loan. I think it would be a shame not to give Jenks a chance with us next season as the loan spell seems to be doing him a world of good. He is definitely going to be a better player next season because he is playing every game this season. The question is will Bellerin also benefit from being loaned out next season to a team where he will be first choice, rather than playing 2nd fiddle to Debuchy?

03 Mar 2015 21:10:55
Ah a bit of Home improvements Ed. I remember some guy gave me a tin of pink paint and asked me if I could use it on his porch. After I finished I told him he actually owned an Audi not a Porsche.

{Ed025's Note - not bad that epping..

03 Mar 2015 21:13:33
I feel your pain on Jenks Epping mate but what do we do the season after next if Belerin does as well out on loan as Jenks has done?
I don't want to lose eitger but fear Jenks is as good as an ex gooner :-(

03 Mar 2015 21:20:15
Ed,

When tiling its important to get the routine correct.

One tile, grout, southern comfort.
One tile, grout, southern comfort.
One tile, grout, southern comfort.

OK? :-)

{Ed025's Note - far too much tiling that for me dags.. :)

03 Mar 2015 21:25:19
I know the feeling ed some weeks I don't get a day off, but our injury record is poor.

03 Mar 2015 21:25:43
I agree with Epping could be good for both of them. And I agree with ed I do 9hr days and I only get a fag break and they make me feel guilty for taking that, damn vegetarian Hitler!

{Ed025's Note - that made me smile eden..

03 Mar 2015 21:27:34
Lol Ed,

Love it :-)

03 Mar 2015 22:30:14
I want clyne. I no i'm greedy. But he's so good

03 Mar 2015 22:33:42
Think loan out Bellerin next season to a mid-table or bottom half table premier league team. He is playing a lot for us, but he isn't playing week in week out like Jenks is for W Ham. Remember he is only in the side due to injuries, not saying he hasn't done very well and proven himself.

Then the season after, Debuchy might be knackered, or may have switched to CB if his pace has gone. Then we have two young and capable full backs to battle it out for a starting spot.

03 Mar 2015 22:59:46
Good points Detroit, scratch my post above I'm very happy to go with your plan

04 Mar 2015 07:58:31
Debuchy will add massive depth, he can also be a winger in front of bellerin

03 Mar 2015 16:05:15
Dags, 337, I am here to challenge for the honours :)


Yo momma is so fat, I took a picture of her last Christmas and it's still printing.



Teacher: "Kids, what does the chicken give you?"
Student: "Meat!"
Teacher: "Very good! Now what does the pig give you?"
Student: "Bacon!"
Teacher: "Great! And what does the fat cow give you?"
Student: "Homework!"

03 Mar 2015 16:44:31
its quite awful honestly

03 Mar 2015 17:00:09
Rue,

Get ya coat and shut the door on your way out, lol. You got to get passed g62 and ed025 before you even get to challenge the big boys! ;-)

03 Mar 2015 16:28:37
Not bad rue, but ed025 is the joke judge so he will decide.

{Ed025's Note - not bad!...bloody awful..you need to up your game rue if you want to challenge the big 2 mate.. :)

03 Mar 2015 18:04:26
Haven't opted any for a while but can't have some whipper snapper thinking he can challenge so,

I was playing Football Manager on my PC when I was offered the Spurs job.  I knew it was a poor squad with no future, so I declined the offer.  I then put the phone down and got back to Football Manager.

Have you heard about the new Tottenham Bra?
It has a lot of support but no cups.

A guy pulls alongside a small boy on the pavement,
‘I’ll give you some sweets if you get in the car.’
‘No, leave me alone, ’ the boy replies.
‘Come on, I’ll take you for ice cream later as well, ’ he insists.
The boy suddenly stops and turns to the man and says,
Get lost Dad, I’m not going to White Hart Lane again no matter what you say.’

Just a reminder!

{Ed025's Note - im afraid that reminds me that dags is still chelsea mate..

03 Mar 2015 18:53:49
Ed, by Chelsea do you mean he is arrogant and when he loses he sulks?

{Ed025's Note - of course 337..

03 Mar 2015 19:33:34
Jeez,

Like taking candy from a baby lol.

I bought a new sandwich maker last week.
Not happy, should have stuck with my old one.
As they say, better the Breville you know.

03 Mar 2015 10:52:29
which other team will join arsenal, city and Chelsea in the top four?

03 Mar 2015 11:00:52
i know believe liverpool

03 Mar 2015 12:28:19
I still think utd will.

03 Mar 2015 13:07:58
Not bothered as long as its not spurs, we should be concentrating on second!

03 Mar 2015 15:42:34
I think it l be Chelsea, City, Arsenal and then Spurs

03 Mar 2015 15:59:43
Like Derby, I think Liverpool have joined the party.

Chelsea, City, Arsenal and Pool.

03 Mar 2015 17:18:50
Dags derby are a league below mate

03 Mar 2015 17:29:07
And what makes you think city and arsenal are confirmed? We are on a run Manchester United and soton could go on a run
even spurs ( on second thought what am I smoking?)
Apart from Chelsea no one is guaranteed atm

03 Mar 2015 17:44:20
I think pool but really hope its saint's, hope its not utd, to see what they do then

{Ed025's Note - lets hope its not liverpool eden...we will get all that "were back" crap..keep them in the shadows where they belong, no one wants to see them get back up there mate..

03 Mar 2015 17:46:23
maybe to optimistic here but i think

Chelsea, Arsenal, City, Utd

{Ed025's Note - the top 2 are nailed on its chelsea and city GBH, then arsenal....then one of the horror bags..liverpool, united and spurs..

03 Mar 2015 18:45:24
So is it totally inconcivable we lose to QPR tomorrow night? If not its also not totally inconceivable utd and Liverpool could win which would leave us 4th level on points with Liverpool.
A bit premature to be talking about who will join us on the podium with 10 laps to go me thinks, this time last week people were talking about who we'd get in the Champions league QF!
I think we will but certainly don't think we have made top four by a very long way yet

03 Mar 2015 19:51:26
Lol Derby.

And hello Reet.

03 Mar 2015 20:12:37
Hopefully they miss out for you ed and you win the europa that would make your neighbors happy! Sorry 001 its brown nose ed 25 day :)

{Ed001's Note - where is that ban button?????}

03 Mar 2015 20:45:19
Damn! All my posts are gunna end up on the others page! :)

{Ed025's Note - i will make sure they dont eden, loyalty gets rewarded mate.. :)

03 Mar 2015 06:31:10
For all those who say it's not all about scoring, please tell me, how many assists does Giroud have? I am sick and tired of reading how he brings others into play with deft flicks and assists. Is he top compared to other strikers? Is he ahead of Costa, Kane and Aguero on assists? Cause if he's not scoring a bucket load, surely he must have a lot of assists to his name. Yes, I know he has had injuries, but then again, so have Aguero, Costa etc

03 Mar 2015 09:30:45
i actually don't know the answer. how many does he have?

{Ed001's Note - he is not listed in the Prem's top 5 for assists. That is Fabregas with 15 and then Di Maria, Baines, Downing and Sigurdsson on 8. That is Prem only though.}

03 Mar 2015 09:37:32
I don't think its all about assists.

If he holds off his marker, passes to Sanchez, who passes to Rosicky to score, Sanchez gets the assist, but Giroud played a major part in the goal too.

03 Mar 2015 09:49:15
Vardy top with 8
Aguero 7
Welbeck 6
Giroud is some way down the list with only 3
That's just strikers

03 Mar 2015 12:03:12
Fun fact:

Giroud has 9 goals in last 13 games (7 in league and 2 in FA cup). that's 30% of our goals in our last 13 games. that's a pretty decent return.

03 Mar 2015 13:09:52
He's been injured for most of the season fgs, give him a break - he's no aguero or suarez but he's the best we've got so we should get behind him

03 Mar 2015 05:43:50
V QPR...
Would you rotate players & if so which ones?
My choices:
Chambers for Bellerin
Monreal for Gibbs
Ramsey for Coquelin
Welbeck for Alexis
Walcott for Santi

We need fresh legs for Man U on Monday and the ganes are mounting up. It's better to rest players, rather than suffer more injuries.

03 Mar 2015 12:06:03
Opsina
Chambers - Mert - Kos - Monreal
Ramsey - Coq
Walcott - Ozil - Ox
Welbeck

Id rest Gabriel and play him vs Man U. Alexis looks burnt out and Caz needs a rest. Welbeck better option than Giroud for this game,

03 Mar 2015 16:08:15
DG, Gabriel has to play from now on. He had a good game against Everton, but he needs to get as many minutes under his belt as possible to bring him up to speed with the EPL

03 Mar 2015 22:43:21
Rue,

Mert is still a better option imo. May not be the case next season, but for now i think he's more experienced and a better player. What better experience can you give o Gabriel than an FA cup tie at OT?

03 Mar 2015 00:12:05
Positive post.

I know we won't, but if we put 6 past QPR, we will be top scorers in Prem.

We are above Utd, despite playing 11 games more than them this season.

Despite Chelsea dominating the Prem this season, we are only 3 wins and 5 goals worse than them.

In top 5 leagues in world football (England, Spain, Germany, France, Italy), there are only 6 teams who have gained more points than us in 2015.

03 Mar 2015 06:52:39
Uh.. I think all of those leagues have extensive winter breaks thus taking out 2-3 weeks from January. :-p

03 Mar 2015 07:32:12
Not being funny Dags but we should be ahead of utd, 11 games more that's potentially 33pts

03 Mar 2015 08:47:44
Are you serious G62? Lol

03 Mar 2015 14:20:50
I fail to see how us playing eleven games more in cups effects the prem stats? maybe i'm thick?

03 Mar 2015 15:31:43
337,

Tiredness, fatigue, injuries, travelling? :-)

03 Mar 2015 15:59:38
Yeah i suffer from all of those dags, but i still must be thick as well :-)

03 Mar 2015 20:57:51
Ah that's just reminded me of a phrase we used to call people when I was young....your thick as s@it and twice as smelly....don't hear it much these days...ah memories....!

{Ed025's Note - ahh..the playing fields of eton..
