Lol @ Gattuso. Should have been in the changing rooms already before the end of the game. Along with Flamini.

Bring back the biff?

Spurs strip is very 80s retro.

Hoping to be able to see the return leg on 10 March 8:45 am (NZ time).

just watched some highlights on 101greatgoals
 
have to say, great spot by the ref to ping zlatan for that push before he scored, deserves some credit for that

Justifies Crouchy's response to the question, "What would you have been if not a footballer?"

harry has a real knack at leaving a player out for a long long time, then bringing him in and getting results immediately, i dont know how he does it
 
last year we saw it with pav, bentley and bale
this year we've seen it with kranjkar, sandro and now palacios

Never realised he clashed with our very own Mr Elastic.  He would have given Roy Keane and his dog a good seeing to as well.

Not sure whether Harry does do it - more down to the individual player I suspect (and I totally question whether Bentley should be in your list at all, although I suspect you are basing that on the NLD?).

Bale and Sandro I might lump together as 'geting used to the demands of EPL' - a factor of maturation more than anything else?

If Palacios can do that for the next 10 games then I might be swayed by the genius of 'Arry, but I'm not holding my breath.   HarryHotspur2011-02-17 10:55:18

I agree Harry, they need to perform week in week out in the premier league..
 
Especially considering the amount of $$$$ they get.
 
VDV is a classic example of a journeyman football player who gives it 100% every time he turns out for us. (maybe slightly better than a journeyman but you know what I mean)
 
P.s. His missus is def NOT journeyman!!

Probably the reason you shouldn't judge a game on text updates, didn't seem the case watching it...

Gattuso gets a ONE match suspension.
 
Sounds a bit bunga-bunga-d up to me.  If it happened on the pitch it would have been much more severe.
 
Wonder if he will travel with the team to WHL?

I noticed Arizona Bar had the other game on yesterday morning.  Wonder if it will do the same for 10 March (or maybe the manager is a Gooner)?

On the lol-front:

"I would like to go to White Hart Lane for the second leg but I have been advised not to," Gattuso is quoted as saying in the Daily Mail. "I have been told there will be 47,000 people there just waiting to give me a slap."

Remaining games for the season

Mar 6         Wolverhampton Wanderers (away)
Mar 9         AC Milan (home)          
Mar 19       West Ham United (home)          
Apr 2         Wigan Athletic (away)          
Apr 9         Stoke City (home)

Two "hard" games - Chelsea away and Man C away, Liverpool also could make a late surge.   We should be able to make top 3... IF we don't stuff up like at Blackpool.

I reckon you can win eight of those.

If you are old and wise you were probably young and stupid

Should be more - I don't think the team fears the Highbury lot any more and we have quite a few of the weaker teams (including the relegation battlers... like Blackpool ).

Playing the other 3 teams around us will be interesting.

I shouldn't say this, but I hope your red lot take the title.

sh*t, what a good morning, Citech draw, Liverpool lose and to top it off the Gooners lose a Cup Final...

All soured by Rojas leaving though, still can't quite get my head around that one...
