i want him to beat arsenal.adebayor is turning out to be quite the player eh. he was pretty good last year but hes been coming up with a lot of big performances this year.
Well obviously. Considering if we win and you win, we'll be neck and neck again, save for goal difference. It's precisely why I want Spurs to beat Man U. Saying that, Newcastle have a better chance of beating us than Spurs do of beating Man U. In the league all teams seem to out-hype themselves against Man U, except West Ham, who don't let themselves be intimidated.

id say readings in there too with the teams that make a good go of it. they may not have a good record but all the games have been really close.
Teams know that if they pack 11 men in the box, they can pretty much defend against anybody, at the expense of a possible win, though.
Newcastle did it, Liverpool did it, all against Arsenal. If they did it against Man U, it'd be sensible. What have Spurs got to lose? If they defend to a draw, they get a point, nothing is lost. If they expose themselves and get countered, they've lost anything.
This is all assuming that Arsenal win, and Man U beat Portsmouth. That'd be a great result if Portsmouth somehow manage to take something alongside an Arsenal win.
I can't see Portsmouth and Spurs both achieving good results though.

Who´s watching the African Nations the?
I must admit ´m impressed by the Athleticism of most African nations players. Maybe a bit of discipline and tactic could do some good, but that would probably spoil it.
I think Africa is the future of world football, and an African team could win the next world cup and dominate in the this century.
They need to get some decent goalkeeprs though🙂
Just watched the Arsenal V Newcastle highlights and I must admit Arsenal play wonderful football & Flamini´s goal was amazing.
The ball did a wicked bend, looks like he did a "Trivela" on it.
Won´t be shown on youtube for legal reasons but you can watch it here..

a few teams still do it, like sunderland came and if it wasnt for the 40 yard strike from nani they would've gotten a draw too.
Well, we can all agree that we'd love to see West Ham United beat Liverpool, I'm sure.
Chelsea don't...really concern me anymore. I don't see Arsenal or Man U slipping up enough. Liverpool prove once more that being given the constant credit of being in with a shot at winning the league needs to stop.
Chelsea loss would be funny. Don't really care about Tottenham, but nice to see them lose, just as a Gunner. Man U obviously are the critical game, we need them to slip, and they need us to slip. I really don't think it'll go down to goal difference. I think that'd be pretty shitty.
Obviously Man U fans would take it, but I think a lot of them want to win by having the most points. It's like ending a game on penalties.
