    Goal Difference

    This. Although not necessarily where the team will end up in the table but in ranking the teams in terms of strength. It's not entirely accurate however as goals are actually quite rare occurrences in a football match (ave of approx 2.67 goals a game). A stronger indicator would be Shot on...

    POTL on Injuries

    Vertonghen's crossing is sublime too!

    Bale needs to grow a pair

    No, that would not be knee-jerking as Walker has been sub-standard for the large majority of this campaigne.

    Pick, discuss and win money together

    Agreed Villa look a big price at first glance. They were, however, underdogs at home to both Wigan and Newcastle recently :eek: An overreation to their 3-3 draw away to Everton perhaps (?)...or maybe West Ham are just complete and utter garbage (most likely!)

    Pick, discuss and win money together

    I'm possibly the most pessimistic Spurs fan here, but I genuinely believe we're a big price to beat Newcastle tomorrow @ 1.70. Newcastle, despite beating Chelsea last time out, have failed to impress all season. Even last year in finishing 5th, they severely overachieved when considering their...

    Race for 4th (or higher) 4.0

    This. The way we are set-up with Bale and Lennon, and our general style of play, means we are one of the best counter-attacking teams in the league - ideal for away matches. We have a bit more of a problem against teams who park the bus, but hopefully, with the addition of Holtby, we will have...

    Race for 4th (or higher) 4.0

    Sorry, maybe I wasn't very clear. We're obviously more likely to get 4th than Liverpool because we're nine points ahead of them. I meant was, currently, they rate Liverpool as the better team. For example, say we played Liverpool in the FA Cup semi-final at Wembley (I know, I know), I have no...

    Race for 4th (or higher) 4.0

    It will certainly be close between us, Arsenal, Everton, and yes, even Liverpool. Bookmakers' odds will give you a good idea of how they rate the teams...and they certainly have Liverpool ahead of us :eek:

    Levy has just cost us Bale. Bye bye Gareth...

    I meant on the pitch. And when exactly is this new stadium going to be built? G. Bale will most proabably be retired by the time we see it!

    Levy has just cost us Bale. Bye bye Gareth...

    Whilst this Transfer Window may or may not cost us our best player, I do feel the OP has a point. The bottom line is that we cannot expect to keep our best players if we fail to qualify for the Champs' League and show little ambition.

    Just a though about the Man U game...

    They didn't start with Rooney, who was still not match fit I guess. I would say Rooney is far more important to them than, say Verts is to us, as Daws/Caulker are able replacements. I mean, Welbeck is Rooney's back-up...

    Crafty bid for Michu?

    I seem to remember we were perilously close to signing Suarez. As much of a rat he is...

    James Richardson's European football review

    I remember watching him on Football Italia on Ch4 back in the day! Should've replace Adrian Chiles on MotD2!

    AVB saying what the fans and player wants to hear...

    Well, those are two extreme examples. Something inbetween would suffice IMO. Anyone with half an eye can see Falcao > Defoe x 10. There's building up a player and just outright lying...I mean, who is he trying to kid?!

    AVB saying what the fans and player wants to hear...

    ...but this is, quite frankly, ridiculous! http://soccernet.espn.go.com/news/story/_/id/1243068/andre-villas-boas-puts-jermain-defoe-on-same-level-as-falcao?cc=5739

    If you could have one back...

    Easy for me. Modric - heartbeat of the team. Is it possible people are choosing VDV because we got Dempsey as to replace him, as opposed to Dembele replacing Modders?!

    Clint Dempsey is good at......

    I don't buy this one bit. He is playing behind the striker...basically a free-role. This should be the dream position for EVERY creative player. If this role doesn't suit him, then he is very, very obviously not good enough.

    Celebrating 2 yards tap-ins as if they were 25 yard rockets.
