    Well that was an enjoyable performance from Spurs last night.

    The Independent got it spot on: "Moussa Sissoko, Tottenham’s anarcho-syndicalist, many-limbed enigma, weaves Chelsea into his dizzying vortex of chaos."

    David Luiz, is there a professional footballer who blows hot and cold as much as him?

    Most Spurs' fans I spoke to last season said to me that Sissoko shouldn't be anywhere near the 1st team. Good to see him prove them wrong as the couple of times I've seen him this season he has been a real power house for them.

    His problem has been that he doesn't look like a footballer so when he makes a mistake he rather proves that perception. Lawrie Madden used to be the same for us but turned things round in the same way.
    To be fair, I gave him the monicker 'Sh*tsoko' but he has been our best player over the last 6-7 weeks. He'll never be a ball playing footballer like a Hoddle-type but cant question his work rate.

    Playing with confidence is a huge thing. He wants the ball now. Beforehand, he adjusted his feet about 10 times before the ball came to him, trying not to make a mistake.

    Glad he's proving me wrong.

    Long time since I’ve seen such a poor individual performance from a big club player as bad as Luiz yesterday. Shocking.

    He was like that 2 or 3 years ago before Konte switched to playing 3 CBs which masked his failings as a defender, and enabled him to use his ball skills. In a 2 he's not disciplined enough, I wonder whether Christiansen or Cahill will get a recall

  • Burnley v Newcastle game delayed until 8:30pm

    Seems that Eddie Wolstenholme, the referee assessor collapsed, yet is now concious and on his way to hospital

    Of course he's the man who refereed our famous Play-Off Final so best wishes to him and his recovery

    Watford took a banner to Leicester today
    “Thank you Vichai for allowing us all to dream. Rest in peace”

    As a thank you for the banner, Leicester made all food and drink on the away concourse free of charge.

    Brilliant game so far Arsenal Spurs
    Arsenal well on top for the first 20/25 minutes.
    Now looking at going into half time a goal down.

    Can thread titles only be changed by admin?
    Even threads you’ve started?

    Arsenal/Spurs & Liverpool/Everton in the title would be good.

    Why do the media insist on screening you'll never walk alone like its some sort of national anthem, no talking over the top, poncy camera angles what a load of bollocks, most overhyped support on the planet, come on Everton

    Same here. When he said it I thought he was joking. He wasn’t. Idiot.

    This scouse derby is very entertaining so far. Can’t believe it’s still 0-0.
