Yeh we're in for a very snowy weekend apparently. I've heard we're getting about 15 inches (steady!) in the north.Wouldn't be that surprised if this got called off.

for 6 months or so, AVB already looking at replacements...Sandro is definitely out for Spurs no ? That's a good news IMHO if confirmed
They tore us apart early in the game, however the 2nd half fight-back was amongst the best performances we've had this season.After how they tore us apart at OT I would take a draw right now.
Are you talking about over the course of the season?on last nights showing.......irespective of the penalty.....i dont understand how anybody can justify the selection of rooney.
im getting abit sick of this "he has to play 90 minutes everyweek to maintain fitness" ....well for me his form has to justify his selection and this season i would say out of the for strikers we have then rooney has performed the worst
That is mental, because he is our best player? You don't drop everybody when form disappears, and he is coming back from injury, the more minutes the better.on last nights showing.......irrespective* of the penalty.....i dont understand how anybody can justify the selection of rooney.
It's not to 'maintain fitness' it's because Rooney is a world class player and you don't drop them players, you need to play them through it as they are indispensible.im getting abit sick of this "he has to play 90 minutes everyweek to maintain fitness" ....well for me his form has to justify his selection and this season i would say out of the for strikers we have then rooney has performed the worst
based on what????? his last 2-3 performances prior to his injury where shocking. in particular the perfomance against west brom which was absolutley shocking.That is mental, because he is our best player?

9 Goals and 11 Assists in 20 appearances. Yeah, he's been fecking shit this seasonon last nights showing.......irespective of the penalty.....i dont understand how anybody can justify the selection of rooney.

Worst performing striker...9 Goals and 11 Assists in 20 appearances. Yeah, he's been fecking shit this season![]()
I know you are joking but that would be Welbeck. I presume if Rooney was still injured Welbeck might have started against Spurs for a flexible option. Given Rooney is significantly better than Welbeck at the moment, it makes sense to start with him.Worst performing striker...![]()
Ronaldo's Madrid's best player and would still be one even if he went on a slump. Right now, RvP is technically our best player but Rooney's as important as any other player. Those who discredit Rooney's importance to the team have memory of a goldfish. Surely we should have learned that by now?based on what????? his last 2-3 performances prior to his injury where shocking. in particular the perfomance against west brom which was absolutley shocking.
Because of ability. Thats why and because Rooney plays attack and mid in one game, appreciated his form hasn't been there but it never bloody is and he is usually one of the better on the pitchbased on what????? his last 2-3 performances prior to his injury where shocking. in particular the perfomance against west brom which was absolutley shocking.
since the injury.....van perise has continued to score goals for fun (blowing the theory that rooney was important to him doing so) hernandez has scored goals, welbeck has impressed when given the chance and the team has looked like its going through the gears.
introducing an out of form, short of fitness player into the team for an important away game at a top 4 side at the expense of an in form sharp as a tac player would be the wrong thing to do in my opinion. of course if it was ronaldo, messi or RVP they'd go straight back in but rooney's performance and physical fitness is a long way short of that level.
really?? We nearly always beat Spurs (except for earlier this year of course!)A win here would be awesome. Can't see it happening.
Yeah but I don't really pay attention to those things.really?? We nearly always beat Spurs (except for earlier this year of course!)
He had a poor performance in a Cl game before scoring twice against Cityon last nights showing.......irespective of the penalty.....i dont understand how anybody can justify the selection of rooney.

whatever squad SAF chooses, wonderful we have a strength in depth back finally.Subs: Lindegaard, Jones, Smalling, Anderson, Giggs, Hernandez, Welbeck
No room for Vidic, Scholes, Buttner, Fletcher, Young or Valencia on that bench![]()

Sunday is going to be one crazy fukking day on the couch!Damn, damn, damn! This game's on Sunday 4pm. I have to work that day.![]()
The record shows Rooney did score the lone goal.Sorry, but didn't Rooney score the only goal of the game last night?
Thanks for rubbing it in.Sunday is going to be one crazy fukking day on the couch!

If the football is even on! weather in England is supposed to be terrible this weekend, you know what London is like 2 inches of snow and it comes to a fecking stand still.Sunday is going to be one crazy fukking day on the couch!

Right! Well, hopefully the game will be postponed (yeah, I'm a selfish bastard).If the football is even on! weather in England is supposed to be terrible this weekend, you know what London is like 2 inches of snow and it comes to a fecking stand still.
Ugh, I'll be so pissed off if it's postponed. You just know we'll end up playing it two days before a CL tie, in the middle of an injury crisis, with Spurs suddenly looking like world-beaters.If the football is even on! weather in England is supposed to be terrible this weekend, you know what London is like 2 inches of snow and it comes to a fecking stand still.
Rather a point than nothing obviously. Looking at how both teams set up tactically I just think the way we play suits their counter attacking game. If Bale and Dembele have stormers they will be hard to deal with. However if Fergie changes things around a bit and slows them down and we are solid at the back then I fancy us to win. If we play the way we did previously without a Vida at the back they could be dangerous again.I know it's just a figure of speech, but I just don't get this at all. The difference between a draw & a loss is 1 point, so you'd rather take 1 point than risk losing or the opportunity to get 3?
Are you saying we aren't good enough to beat them then so you'd rather a point than nothing?
We're top of the league & 15 points ahead of Spurs, we're much better than them ffs!
Edit: Brightonian got there before me...
Brightonian and Colin are spot on. There's no reason to believe we'd be fortunate or somehow lucky to take three points from WHL. Yes, Spurs beat us earlier in the season but in truth we gave them at least as good as they gave us in the second half, when Fergie decided to bring on the maestro. And, more importantly, we've tightened things up on the back line since then.I know it's just a figure of speech, but I just don't get this at all.

You seem i interpreted that half in a quite different way. Yes our level of performance improved [how could it not] but also Spurs changed their approach.They tore us apart early in the game, however the 2nd half fight-back was amongst the best performances we've had this season.
In the end we were very unlucky to not to come away with at least a draw.
The best form of defence is attack. Spurs offered no threat to us when we kept them pinned in their half.
