Chelsea 3-1 up away at Blackpool, they are suddenly looking good

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/europe/9417400.stm

Interesting...may put a lot of Prem Clubs on red alert come the summer. If SAF was to stand down i would be very happy with Van Gaal

Both Liverpool and Man C fall short in the Europa League Competition, Liverpool losing 1-0 in the first leg against Braga, while City lose 2-0 to Dynamo Kiev: Rangers meanwhile managed a 0-0 draw against PSV Eindhoven away from home

At face value not looking good for Citeh at least. If Dynamo Kiev can nick a goal at Eastlands then it's probably game over.

Liverpool were woeful.

Full credit to Braga, though. They really clattered into Liverpool and never gave them time to settle on the ball and it visibly unsettled the Liverpool players. Braga well worthy winners on the night. Braga very good at the 'dark arts', too. An interesting mix of hacking into tackles, nibbling at heels and diving to the ground like a shotgunned ballet dancer under even the feintest of touches. Yes, you expect one or the other, but I've never seen such an accomplished display on both fronts.

One for Saint. I must admit I split my sides when I read this. Thank God Gallas had no 'loyalty' to Arseandall and the Chavs.

Whilst this is clearly badly thought out, if I was a Liverpool fan I would think "the lad does have a point".........seeing him in any other jersey but the Liverpool red is bad, but seeing him in the Man U strip wold have been crushing.

As I just said in the other thread, as far as footballers go i do believe he is one of the nicer ones

So Spurs only managed a goaless draw at home to West Ham while Villa lost 1-0 at home to Wolves..........there's one hell of a dog fight at the bottom end of the league, with only 6 points separating the bottom 10 clubs  On the subject of teams struggling for survival, West Brom will be kicking themselves that they surrendered a 2 goal advantage at home to Arsenal although credit to the Gunners for being the better side and fighting back to secure a draw. Man U should have done better for the possession they had, but Bolton were well organised and made it difficult for the home side......disappointing that Johnny Evans picked up a straight red after his long absence..........no real indication of intent, but it would be difficult to argue with the ref's decision. A 1-0 voctory sees them 5 point clear of Arsenal who have a game in hand.  

I started a 'sack Harry Redknapp thread' on the Spurs bulletin board. My tin hat has had lots of use this evening.

Yes John we are at the time of year where results are hard to come by. What you need is a resolute team who will play for the full 90mins plus fergie time. Arsenal shambolic in defence and dropped 2 pts (it was 2pts dropped not a point gained) Man U scraped their 3 points with Berba bundling the ball in. This was a big result for Man u especially with Arsenal faltering. Today we see Chelsea v Man City, Chelsea have a bit of momentum at the moment and are looking like the form side, however anything but 3 points in this tie will surely end any hopes of their title challenge.

Spurs fading badly at the moment...and need to find their goal scoring form.

Man U have had so many lucky, last-gasp wins from spawny goals that their name is surely on the Premier League trophy.

Thats not luck... its determination and have the balls and belief to keep pressing for the goal.

Whoever lifts the prem league it will not be down to luck.

As a team Spurs have been playing well, just like they did yesterday. It's a bit difficult to beat the opposition however when all you have playing up front is a corpse.

Still, one piece of good news, it will now cost even more money to tap-up buy Bale as he signed a contract extension yesterday.

Bindippers win 2-0. Another goal for Suarez - a player Harry Redknapp couldn't fit into the Tottenham style of play. Instead, we have Defoe who couldn't score in a brothel at the moment.

I thought Suarez was a risky move for Liverpool considering the amount spent. Tho i think we will have to give Suarez and carroll till next season to judge on the value for money.

Suarez is already delivering at least as much as Torres had done in the last 12-18 months he was at Liverpool. The Pikey is just a bonus.

Is the correct answer. Which is why I have called for 'Arry to be sacked on the Tottenham board. Most take the side of Saggy Chops though because they seem have the vision of Stevie Wonder. Thankfully, one or two agree with me.

Was at the Spurs game Saturday and disappointed is not the word and I cannot argue that with a better finisher in the starting line up West Ham would have been put to the sword by half-time.  That being said, before his injury JD was on fire and all of our strikers are capable of performing on their day.  But for a bit of luck and sanding the woodwork, Saturday's game could have gone down as the day that Spurs restated their intentions to play Champions League football again next season!

Whilst some of Harry Redknapp's decisions can be frustrating, and the failure to buy a new striker in the January window is disappionting, Harry has worked wonders for this Club and calls for his replacement are premature at best!!!    

I hope Liverpool haven't used up all their dodgy reffing decisions today  

Did Torres score yet?

Ref was awful, but then so were we (Sunderland), plenty of the ball and yet only one sinlge shot on goal and that a 30 yarder from Cattermole after 92 mins. Poor decision from the ref on both big talking points, on both occasions he changed his mind to the linesmans call despite being much nearer and with a better view.

Suarez looks a handful in the flesh mind

The biggest lot of bollox i have read on here   It make me so angry when supposed fans turn on their manager after a run of mediocre results. Remember where Spurs were heading before Arry took over .. it you have forgotten it was down to the championships. Last season Spurs qualified for Champions league..this season he has guided them to the 1/4s with some fantastic results and a resonable chance of progressing. Currently in 5th place in the Prem league with a game in hand and CL qualification next season a real possibility.

Think on before you want rid of mr Redknapp he has done a fantastic job and hopefully only one or two mindless idiots do agree with you.

Ask yourself why we've had a recent run of mediocre results. Aside from the fact that two points out of nine against three teams in the bottom five is simply inexcusable at the best of times part of the reason is down to the fact we don't have a decent striker. The best Spurs team in years is headed up by a corpse who couldn't score in a brothel at present.

Harry tried to be too clever by half during the transfer window, arguing that Suarez wasn't quite the player we wanted as it would be difficult to fit him in. Instead, we were left with a player with less talent and who can't play with VDV.

And an arrogant little prick Defoe is too. By all means wear a t-shirt with '100 goals' written on it when you've scored 100 goals, not on the expectation of hitting the magic number during a particular game, especially when you previously only had two to your name in the league this season. The man truly boils my pi$$.

It was Harry who tried to buy Chuckle Brother Jr. He did buy Pienaar- god forbid and seemingly is prepared to let Kranjar go as a result. He  also tried to buy Charlie Adam. Why do we need to buy Adam when arguably we have the greatest depth of any midfield in the EPL. It is totally insane.

But it's Harry's failure to secure the services of Suarez that's going to bite us on the bum. Far from qualifying for the CL next season it is not beyond the bounds of possibility that we'll be overhauled by the Bindippers and not qualify for Europe at all if Defoe (and to a lesser extent, Pav) continue to be mediocre. Unfortunately the transfer window has been and gone and we are stuck with them.

If we fail to qualify for Europe Crouch too will be about as useful as a chocolate fireguard because he can't score in the EPL either. He seems to reserve his best form for Europe, probably because European teams rarely come across such physical freaks and don't know how to deal with him.

Anyway, Harry's trial is coming up in the next couple of months. You never know, he might be managing the prison team.

Perhaps Suarez didn't want to go to Spurs, preferring a club of global reknown, one of the real giants of the game alongside Man U and Arsenal... rather than a flash-in-the-pan team who've over-reached themselves and squeezed into the Champions League for the first time ever and have progressed as a novelty act which other teams have taken too lightly. A Newcastle for 2011 if you like.

At least we don't have Glen Johnson.

Oh wait, there have been rumours our esteemed manager may bid for him in the summer.
