Football. Bah! Couldn't those Britons have used their time for something worthwhile instead of football. Bah.

Well as a Rangers fan there is a very large part of me laughing my butt off, but as you know, I get no pleasure from Scottish football being so dire.

Sad state of affairs. Do you think there is any possibility Spurs could apply to join the SPL? I mean the gulf in quality may close over time and hopefully Spurs won't get thrashed too much in the meantime.....

That is an easy question. The answer is, of course, the honourable performance of the Swedish team.

Well I feared it would be bad (on the basis that maybe, just maybe it would be okay). I was not expecting that SoS. I mean what was that?

I didn't know much about Holberg (although wasn't impressed when he eventually came on for Denmark last week) but he was..... I mean if this guy has been brought in to strengthen the tackling in midfield then once again we've been robbed - whatever he cost. He really wasn't very good - and that is the kindest way I can put it.

Doherty showed promising signs going forward, and Harry tried as usual, but the rest? I give Mourinho no more than a couple of months.

This is going to be a relegation battle. That was just so bad.

Just finished watching the ninth and last of All or Nothing. The fact is, all the things that we lacked in the Everton game, in terms of performance, Jose has been trying to instil in the team over the last 19 months. Fact is - his team are not listening to him.....

Status: offline 		Watched the highlights, beautiful play between Kane and Son. With Bale back in October they say there is no reason why we can't have a top four season, what a difference a week makes. Bale could bring alot of experience in the dressing room regarding big games including big European games. Plus he is bound to win us games during the season, hopefully Son stays fit and on the form he is, Bale slots in good and Kane has a good season. I think we have the strongest line up we've had in recent years.

Indeed. Even one match can make all the difference in the world. Our season is down the drain. A complete waste. And then a good match against the local rivals, and somehow the season doesn't seem all that bad.

After the Everton shambles, the thing about the Southampton, Newcastle (which we should of won) Chelsea (second half) and Manchester United games is that, for the first time in two years we actually weren't stinking the place out - we actually played quite well.... It can't last

I think the jury is out. We know how good the player was that left us, we don't know exactly what player has returned.

But let's put it this way. He will need to totally arse things up at Spurs not to be considered a footballing god at White Hart Lane. If he is half the player he was in his final season then he will still be 10 times the player Dele Alli is and the White Hart Lane faithful will worship him.

Taxi for Maicon......

For the unitiated (ie everyone else), Queens Park are an amateur side that occasionally reach the heights of the Scottish 2nd div, play to crowds of 2-300 at Hampden Park (capacity around 60,000). It is a pretty surreal experience to nip along for a home match

Yes indeedy. The FA Cup has only left England once - and that was when the mighty Cardiff City beat Arsenal 1-0 in 1927(?). I don't know if its true or an urban myth, but the Arsenal goalkeeper that day was supposed to be Welsh (Lewis?) and the conspiracy theorists believe he let the goal in on purpose......

Who cares? Arsenal lost so all is right with the world

exactly Arsenal losing can never be a conspiracy, merely the correct order of the cosmos ..

to be fair one of the Arsenal players has just offered to pay for the mascot out of his own earnings. Now I'm sure % wise its not going to hurt him but it is a decent gesture at a time when losing your job is going to have real consequences
