Lost count of how many times I've watched Vermaelen utter bemusement at where on earth Lennon had appeared from
It's the best reaction to anything ever. And the way Lennon just swerves past Monreal too. Fabulous!
Also, there are some pictures on-line of the handbags between Daws and Vermaelen. Vermaelen actually had his hand round Daws throat. No wonder he was so wound up!
...Anyway, on to the next game, tough ones coming up *resumes nervous shaking*
Liverpool away and Chelsea away I think will be our toughest remaining games. We are only second to United on home and away form over the last 12 games.
Funnily enough I'm not that bothered how we do in the Europa League at the moment. It's seems such a long winded competition. Of course if we get to the semis then I might start to get excited.
According to James Olley from the London Evening Standard, AVB has said that Ade and Dembele aren't seriously injured and should be fit to face Inter, which is great news - just need official confirmation
The sad fact for Arsenal fans is that this Tottenham side are bereft of Luka Modric, the injured Younes Kaboul, the retired Ledley King and the absence of a top-class forward to help Jermain Defoe, given Emmanuel Adebayor is so woefully below the required level at present.
Yet they have still reduced the gap on the Gunners, partly through Bale’s imperious displays but also with great unity and wise investment. After all, Vertonghen was in talks with Arsenal and ended up at Spurs. The Gunners were also made aware of goalkeeper Hugo Lloris’s availability before he moved to White Hart Lane.
I think it's really interesting how much the media are really starting to emphasis the tremendous team spirit and loyalty the players have to each other and especially AVB, it's continually becoming a theme.
yeah but to be fair, it's not like they've got much choice. when the best player on the team runs to the manager after scoring a last-minute winner, you can't exactly continue pretending he's the worst man-manager in the history of mankind. the players have been talking all season long about how great things are, if only the muppets had been prepared to listen, instead of embarking on the most ridiculous agenda against him for committing the unforgivable crime of not being 'Arry
I hate the way all the talk is of him "learning from his mistakes" though. It's a convenient (and of course cowardly) way of not admitting you were wrong.
what team do you guys think you will play vs inter?
i think inter will play a strong team with a real focus on defence as they have made some truly poor marking/individual mistakes lately and spurs will rip defence apart if it goes to form
gk: handanovic - alongside spurs own lloris has to be a candiate for best goalkeeper in the world
dr:zanetti-mr dependable
dc-ranochiia-capable of scoring goals from corners and makes some great tackles,but also lack of concentration
dc-juan jesus- a beat of player in luciop made, makes poor decisions sometimes though that cost goals
dl-perreria-not been great at inter,does basics and nothing else it seems
dmc-kuzmanovic-a player like alonso/carrick/busquets mould, keeps midfield ticking along
mc-cambiasso-a warrior that adds so much going forward and back
mc-guarin- if fit this guy is world class on his day,is a doubt though. fast,strong and a really good shot on him
amc-cassanno-bags of skill,no pace,coming off a fight with coach,can make the difference though with his assist play
amc-alvarez-next big thing that has struggled in italy, breathtaking dribbling skills when has confidence though
st-palacio-on fire,makes goals and more importantly scores them too
thats just my thoughts on XI to play tommrow,i mgiht be wrong, thought you might like some info on inter team though
Apparently Defoe has claimed that the rumours about Gareth Bale's new daughter's name are actually true, in that she's called Alba Violet Bale .. AVB in other words.
Surely it's a goof ? It's a good one at that, but I can't believe he's named her that.

I've been dismissing that as a joke, although, who knows ...

I did read that when she was born so i think it's true
I really think Levy has learned his lesson about selling the best players - unless he has absolutely no other option (as per Modric second time around).
There's starting to be some mutterings that old Red Nose wants a Rooney/Bale swap. We couldn't pay Rooney's wages, anyway, could we?
Almost certainly not. Not to mention I don't believe the rumours for a second, it's the usual 'Rooney to leave' story United have to put up with every three months. As they have previously said that United are interested in Bale the media seem to have decided to combine the two.

Yes, there was no pirouette beforehand
Apparently Parker's been given an extra day off for passing to a white shirt without pirouetting first!
If Lennon made that kind of move more often he'd get more goals and would be an England regular.
He is a quality player, and I have little doubt he will make his name there.

The centre backs are the position AVB tends to change the most, and that may happen again, but Dawson and Vertonghen are the best bet there.
Given we're doing even better without Modric, it kind of raises the question of how and why ....
