West Ham beating Man Utd, Charlton beating Spurs. Can it continue?

I'm listening to Century's webcast(since 'pool want you to pay 40 pounds a year for their webcast..pah!). The roar that went around Anfield as they found out the WHam score was incredible. It was like someone suddenly flipped the volume switch to 11. ;-)

I can't work out if these results are good for us or not. Spurs getting beat is good of course and Man U getting beat is pretty funny. As long as we win tomorrow - that's the main thing.

If scores stay the same, Liverpool will be about 11 points clear of Man U1 No team can throw that kind of lead away - can it?!!!!

Ideally, I'd like it to be 1-1 at OT as Glenn Roeder is currently very near the top of my sh*tlist... As you say, though, very funny if West Ham do beat them. As for Spurs, their losing is only of real value if we win tomorrow...

Lynda, Liverpool might throw away that lead but will all the other teams in front of Man Utd do likewise?

Charlton 3 - 0 Spurs. Ultimately may not mean much to us, but it's still quite amusing. :-)

Question: how long before Hoddle whines about London derbies?

Is this the same Spurs who can do no wrong

Who Glen thinks will be in the top 5

Who are the media darlings

Oh dear How sad Never mind

and Newcastle who threw two valuable points away at lowly Charlton....

I agree Dougal about Roeder. He's certainly on my list. Still Man U getting beat again is certainly a comedy moment. Oh I just hear that there's 4 mins of added on time at OT. Suprise suprise - time for an equaliser?

As for Spurs - ha bloody ha. All those London journos and Richard Littlejohn currently choking on their cups of tea.

Howay lads - we've got to win at Ipswich!!!!!!

Roeder may be a king tosser, but I find today's result quite amusing. :-D

Howay Toon! Amuse me tomorrow please!!

Overall great results. Spurs is the one I like the most - they apparently dominated the second half but found Kiely in great form - well done to him!

Spurs are now below us with two games more played, so we are potentially six points ahead of them (although games in hand don't translate to points all the time)

Just wondering, do we have a pools score prediction curse? The classified reader on Sky Sports said "Ipswich versus Newcastle was postponed, pools panel verdict: away win" You know who to blame now if we lose :)

Rodney Marsh made himself look like a right tosser. When asked to reveal what he thought Derby v Bolton would be, he said "I don't care" If I was Sky Sports' Director I would have him out straight away. Not everyone supports the big teams Mr Marsh you tosspot.

I agree with Dougal about the Man Utd game, I would have liked a 1- 1. Ideally I would like to see West Ham go down - they're better than a lot of the bottom teams sadly though. Funny to see Man Utd get beaten at home again, but a draw would have been better for me.

Leicester vs Southampton was an interesting one as well. Leicester were keeping a fairly tight defence recently, but to let in 4 against a team who don't exactly score goals for fun is strange. Leicester are the new Wimbledon (or Sunderland) according to many. They now boot it up to their strikers hoping for the best - no wing play or nice passing. A deperate team resorting to desparate tactics.

Anyone think that Roeder looks like Jasper Carrot? (obviously with hair)

Looks like we have to hope the makems beat chewsea. Or does it ?

Not so much if we can beat the tractas. Prayer mats oot lads and lasses.

Totally agree with you about Rodders, Paul - he's an arrogant cockney tw*t, and should be booted out on his very ample @rse. Tosssssser!

Sunderland 0 - 0 Chelsea would do me fine.

Makems always beat Chelsea so we can scratch that one and so many newspapers etc are saying we'll win that I can't see us doing anything other than losing.

The other scary thing is that Man Utd are going to have a backlash soon. With Dyer's, Bellamy's and Robert's pace, we really should be as well-equipped as anyone to beat them at OT, but they'll no dount choose that game to come back and win 5-1.

I'm still waiting for those earthquakes to hit specific places on request. The one at Wembley is very late, and fault line through the SoS has yet to produce results

All we need now for the ideal weekend....

leeds to get beat, mackems to draw with Chelsea and of course, the toon o win. Ideal

Not a popular view but i was Hoping Boro would beat the scouse lot. I can see the plastic fan brigade running to JJB sports today swapping one horrible red top for another Urrrgh it reminds me of the eighties.

Enjoyed listening earlier on Little John's show on 5Live to all the squealing mancs wanting to sack Sir "Lost the Plot" Taggart, and a rich variety of scary gloating scousers and whinging Spurs 'fans' (loose description!).

Then it dawned on me - jolly gosh, what will we be like this time tomorrow?

-- Anonymous, December 08, 2001

Well think about it..........A club with lot of injuries, no wins for ages, at the bottom of the league. For most clubs this would be 3 easy point but of course this is NUFC we're talking about. Ugh.

-- Anonymous, December 08, 2001

And this is a SERIOUS test of our European credentials.

Win this and we can cement our place near the top of the league. Lose and we'll almost certainly end up as another team just making up the numbers.

C'MON!

And Ipswich are absolutely desperate for 3 points, so no doubt the Black and White Santa will oblige. Tis the season and all.
Let me be wrong, let me be wrong, let me be wrong, let me be wrong!
