Or indeed drew 0-0. I've seen goalies be in the right position for a fluke, tiptoe backwards along the goal-line and tip the ball
over without falling over. It's a funny old game. Also, if you have a real goalie like Peter Smike, he'd have caught the 'fluke shot'
bowled it down the right wing to headless chicken Kanch, he'd have cut in and scored and Everton would be one up and gone on to
win 5-1. All that could happen with a real goalie.

You really do need to lay off the illegal substances mate.

Spurs went into 3 rd gear at 3-0!
So I agree 0-0 was never on before the fluke goal they looked like scoring with CO CO and fatty Williams trying to be defenders!

Flukes happen look at one of the worlds best keepers at the time

And Kanes opening goal was a total fluke that would've beaten a lot of good keepers

How was that a fluke ? Everything about it looks like he meant to do it.

The only positive from yesterday's game was Jordan. It will take an injury to him to show just how bad our defence really is

What Cisses ? One of the biggest hit & hope flukes of all time

eh ? the technique when kicking the ball is exactly what you'd expect from someone trying to score from that angle.

Outrageous to call that Cisse goal a fluke. Sliced across it beautifully to get that shape.

Not sure about that mate. Just because he's a crap striker doesn't make that particular goal a fluke.

Needs to have a stable back four in front of him , Williams is too slow and passed it. Maybe Keane & Holgate could be a possible partnership?

Well fluke or not is it similar the way it catches out Cech to Kane's goal ?

Absolutely. We were on a spanking to nil if not for young JP. With better defenders in front of him (ie. when Seamus comes back and Williams gets swapped out) we will look a LOT better.
