  1. well done spurs ur gonna finish in the top 6 but i­ still hate you

  2. Have it Spurs are now top!
    Liverpool a flop!

    From Max, on Sat 22 Aug 8:39
  3. A good win. But what's a bit worrying is that­ "Spurs attempted just five crosses against­­ Liverpool". Some teams will close down the passing­ game,­ so you need to be able to cross. Crossing to­ Crouch or Pavlyunchenko makes more sense than to Defoe­­ and Keane, so the latter two shouldn't be playing­ at the same time against teams like that. From the­ right, Bentley crosses better than Lennon. On the left­ we still need a left-footed winger or­ attacking­ midfielder to do the same. Unless Harry lands one such­ player before the transfer window­ closes, I can't­ see a top-5 finish for Spurs.

  4. RB quoted in The Qatar Tribune in the Middle East says­ that he was upset with the ref and officials on­ Saturday as Liverpool, according to him should have had­ 2 penalties, how quick a summer changes ones mind­ it's OK for him to complain but nobody else.

  5. cannot see any silverware for liverpool this year,­ another typical result, why such a poor team whe he has­ 57 guys on the books for the ist team..

    From PAUL, on Wed 19 Aug 19:09
  6. It didn't appear that Liverpool had anywhere near­ the hunger for a win that they should have, right from­ the start... Almost like they went out with the­ attitude... 'hmm, let's see how we get on in­ this game, and then decide what we need to do in the­ next game..'

  7. alonsos a big miss fact

    From ALAN, on Wed 19 Aug 2:37
  8. When will Rafa stop criticising officials.Liverpool­ lost because of an totally inept performance.Could it­ be that Spurs played the scousers off the park.

  10. mr benenetiz mus t now the educate himself and his­­ players of the rules of the game of the football.
    then­­ he need togo back to the basics about the football­­ tictacs..
    he should show his goal keeper the goal and­­ tell him it is his job to stop the ball going into­­ it.
    then he should show his defenders the hammer and­­ tell them he will hit them with it very the hard if­­ they wander up field and not the tackle and chase the­­ opposing team players around.
    with his midfield he­­ should simply show them the picture of the donkey and­­ then let them work the rest out for them the­­ selves.
    with the forwards he should tell show them the­­ ball, explain what it is, let them touch it and hold­­ it, as they wont see much of it again this the­­ season.
    then mr bennynitiz should cuddle his players­­ and sing them the sad spanish songs to prepare them­ for­ yet another season without trophy or purpose.

  17. I'm the fan of Manchester United and i'm glad­ that Liverpool lost some points but this doesn't­ matter because it's only the first match and they­ have played against Tottenham not against Burnley, Hull­ or other.That is only the begin but i still hope that­ MU could win this title. GLORY GLORY MAN UNITED ! ! !
