The very self indulgent football thread....
- Thread starter sean-intense
- Start date
I'd like to start by asking what the heck the Wolves boys were doing on Saturday?!? 3-0 down to Leicester at half time, come back out to win 4-3. If there is currently a surge of interest in performance- enhancing drug-taking in top-level sport, I suggest the authorities get ahold of the tea-pot from the Wolves dressing room and immediately send it for analysis! Whatever was in it, I'd like some...
I am a lifelong Stoke City supporter, although after recent games I am again feeling despondant - have done really since the mid-80's 
Tony Pulis is not a bad manager as he gets the best out of players but his tactics are a joke at times! Plus that donkey Paul Williams (ex-Soton/Coventry defender) needs to be shot. He is awful, no wonder Strachan paid up his contract...
Agree about Wolves - coming back & winning from 3-0 down is very rare...
Who does everyone else support/follow on here?

i'm a Man City supporter....so i've seen them go up and down the divisions like a yo-yo.Finally they've settled up in the premiership and with a bit of luck and the management of King Kevin Keegan i'm looking forward to great things.

For my sins - I'm a Tottenham supporter. I've been going through thin and thinner (well OK and the occasional bit of thick!) since 1978 when they were in the old second division, and currently have a season ticket in the Lower East Stand. I'm off there tonight in fact, to see the CC game against West Ham ...
Good luck to Spurs tonight
Bobby Zamora should bang a few in and perhaps Spurs would like to loan him to Stoke?

I think Bobby Z (and Helder Postiga, on that note) needs that first goal under his belt for a bit of confidence. He always works hard, but hasn't quite made the adjustment yet. Give him time though...
(I'm not sure about loaning him to you guys - with our injury record we need as much of a squad as we can muster. They drop like flies at our place!...)

Well - Bobby Z did the business for us last night - TBH we weren't that convincing and the Hammers had a number of decent chances.
Still, we're through - and set up for another intra-band battle with Dave's boys at the Lane..!

...knew Booby Z would come good. Saw him play against Stoke two seasons ago & he is sheer class. With the right support & coaching he coluld become a big asset for Spurs. Until then lend him to Soke
Here's hoping my boys (Liverpool) can do a job tomorrow against Fulham. After playing so well midweek they gave us a nervous end to the game gifting Blackburn 2 goals Heskey for a hat trick
Heskey for a hat trick Oh well Heskey only managed 1, still a very good result for us and 3 points from Fulham we didn't get last year.
Ground out a good result today....also good to see Arsenal and Chelsea slip up...shame the mancs won though

Well (sorry Dave and Neil) - a good week for once in the intra-band stakes, from my POV.
City were as poor first half against us in the cup on Weds as they were dominant in the league game at their place a month or two ago. We needed the 2-goal cushion still though, as predictably they piled forward in the 2nd half and we had our customary headless-chicken phase of play in which we gifted them a goal back. There were a couple of scrambles that could have led to an equaliser too, before we broke well to wrap it up. Just about deserved our win over the 90 minutes.
Saturday's 5-2 is was as convincing as it sounds in terms of chances and finishing - we created lots of chances, and all 5 of the goals were well worked and nicely finished - not a scrappy hoof amongst them. However, Wolves were still a bit hard done by with the scoreline IMO. Right on half-time Kasey Keller saved on the line with his legs from point-blank range - Wolves could easily have led at the break - and right before our 3rd goal Camara somehow put a chance to square it at 2-2 over the bar from 6 yards.
Overall though a pleasing week results-wise - albeit that we still look weak in midfield, and will get slaughtered by Newcastle and Man U in our next 2 games if we don't compete better...

Whilst having an Xmas drink in London yesterday, the results came in and Dave's, Nick's and my team all lost dismally so we didn't really talk football. Grim

Perhaps you should support Arsenal. They wera red too. And that Man U lot. It's all the same isn't it ?
Could be worse mate - you could be a Leeds fan...ROTFLMAO
