Spurs dreadful against Southampton and poor against Watford.

AndNobbyDancing · 01/01/2022 17:37

Weren't they just! Although Southampton were obviously brilliant Wink please they managed to get the three points, not for them but keeps one from Watford.

AndNobbyDancing · 01/01/2022 17:38

*pleased

WhiteHartLane · 01/01/2022 21:11

A dull match against Watford, Spurs not creative enough in front of goal and sooo many poor crosses. Still a wins a win and Conte has the team organised and motivated again. We also have the transfers to (hopefully) look forward to.
Gillingham had their first game since 11th December - away to MK Dons. Ended 0-0 but after 6 straight defeats I'll happily take it Grin

Looks as though Liverpool have requested a postponement of Thursday’s EFL Cup semi-final first leg match v Arsenal, after having to abandon training due to more positive COVID tests. Hope all players and staff stay safe and well.

AndNobbyDancing · 08/01/2022 19:18

Loving having the FA cup free to view but wish they could have spread out KO times. I know their have been fan complaints about 12pm KO would have been good to watch more games.

DuncinToffee · 08/01/2022 21:07

Agree AndNobby

Scrappy win for us but we are in the hat. Some cracking goals from both team Football

Kevin Friend's refereeing was terrible.

Not sure you deserved it in fairness, signs from the crowd showed the discontent, Lineker was correct when he questioned where your money had been spent.
Southampton was scrappy in the end, I'm always wanting an upset, looking forward to tomorrow.

Anyone else heard the PSG , United, Zidane rumours?

LetsGoFlyAKiteee · 08/01/2022 23:11

Was nice to see Chestefield score..they deserved the goal and it received a reception from the whole stadium..

Onwards to Wednesday

AndNobbyDancing · 09/01/2022 17:10

Morecambe scoring first soared my heart. The FA Cup is about minnows slaying dragons, whilst it wasn't to be the hope was tangible.

AndNobbyDancing · 09/01/2022 19:03

I enjoyed the Notts Game. What a win.

Winterfellismyhome · 09/01/2022 19:06

I love a giant killing

DuncinToffee · 09/01/2022 19:37

Nice one Forest.

Our game with Leicester has been called off due to their COVID-19 cases, injuries and players on international duty at the Africa Cup of Nations.
It's getting a bit of a joke Confused Not sure how and when we are going to play all these rescheduled games.

The ACON rules of it all is intresting..Long as got 11? Available they play. Doesnt matter if have a goal keeper or not. Know Mendy is out with it now.

Been a nice little FA Cup weekend

DuncinToffee · 09/01/2022 20:08

The ACON rules are strange but makes a nice change from having 3 goalies on the bench Wink

Left it late but made it to the next round. Morecombe played well - on that showing it's difficult to believe they are keeping Gillingham company in the relegation places!

Gillingham parted ways with their Manager earlier today. No surprise seeing as they are winless in their last 13 matches and were shockingly bad at home to Ipswich yesterday. Whoever takes charge has a battle on their hands to keep them up Sad

LetsGoFlyAKiteee · 12/01/2022 21:49

VAR came in handy..hurrah off to the final. Hopefully the person is the crowd is okay

burblish · 13/01/2022 13:09

Anyone following the AFCON action? Can’t believe the ref blowing the full-time whistle early in Mali v Tunisia - just farcical.

AndNobbyDancing · 15/01/2022 17:36

Dunc no words really

LetsGoFlyAKiteee · 15/01/2022 17:54

I think Rafa is going going from rumours..its been coming.

DuncinToffee · 15/01/2022 18:40

He has to go

I really have nothing else to say

Can’t believe I’ve only just found this thread! I’m a local Cambridge United fan so obviously had the best day of my life recently when we not Newcastle and out of the FA Cup. Another win for us today, not doing too bad considering if this is the first season in league one canCan’t believe I’ve only just found this thread!

I’m also a Gunner and am embarrassed that a team like Arsenal are saying they can’t scrape together 13 players for tomorrows match
