Today's football.

Agreed.

From August to early December, if we had an in-form goal poacher, I believe we would have racked up some big wins.

Sadly, we drew and even lost one, of the games we not only dominated but created many good goal scoring opportunities.

If only Jela was on that one-touch form of last season...if only we still had Beckford to knock in the odd spectacular winner...if only Moyes knew how to manage the strikers he brings to the club better...

...We would have been 3rd in the table and in the final of the FA Cup.


Beattie, AJ, Yak & Jela cost about £33m in total, and generally did well in their first period for us...so we can't always blame lack of funds for why we don't seem to get on with strikers. Moyes is otherwise a brilliant manager, but he clearly coaches something out of them. That, and his inability to win pressure games, is the reason why we are always best of the rest, but never get to join the best group.

This is mainly because they only have one team in that city, therefore the fanbase isn't split. They don't have RAWK lovers for neighbours!

There's only 13 miles between St James Park & Stadium of Light. But fair point, still.

doncaster goal looks offside to me, looks like he plays it forward and the guy is two yards away from goal, how can he be onside?

Wish Wigan had won today. Would have really done us a favour

Crying at Spurs first goal hahahaha.

 

[noharmdone]

I like McMananaman from Wigan...

 

[potato]

spurs v wigan is almost carbon copy of our game vs. them

spurs score early goal (check) equaliser is scored from a corner by a header pretty much straight away (check)

2nd goal scored is a wonder goal (check), Equaliser is conceded very late on (check)

 

[noharmdone]

Haha see the fella in the spurs end.. Close up. Sparking up a ciggie.
