November 7, 20214 yr This run of matches has been amazing. After the first 3, I thought finishing as high as 6 was unrealistic.
November 7, 20214 yr Author yeah Auba blew two different goals for us, but another win, and another clean sheet. digestion and defending are on point. COYG. 🔴⚪️
November 11, 20214 yr One - Nil to The Arsenal. I’ll take it. Perhaps we could have been a bit sharper upfront to make the dominant stretches at the start of each half payoff, but the defense (outside of a potential howler one-off from Ramsdale) looked solid. Watford rarely threatened. Definitely improved over last season. We gave the field a nine-point and -10 goal difference head start. Since…20 points from 24, level on GD, and we’re definitely on the up. COYG!!!Go 2-1 instead of 0-3 and we’re tied with Chelsea for the top of the table.
November 11, 20214 yr Not to mention we played that match with our “B team.” Ramsdale, White, Gabriel, Ödegaard, Tomiyasu, and Lacazette were unavailable that day, and Auba was still recovering and started the match as a sub. Edited November 11, 20214 yr by Dutch
November 13, 20214 yr Author not sure how long this link will stay up, it holy shit what a tackle from Tierney:
November 13, 20214 yr That’s one hell of a goalline intervention. Honestly, though, my second thought was “oh shit, please don’t crack an ankle or a rib sliding into the post.” Edited November 14, 20214 yr by Dutch
November 20, 20214 yr Read somewhere that our form on the last 8 trips to Anfield: 11 goals scored, 28 conceded, last victory in 2012. Some drubbings in that mix, too. In other words, “Not Great, Bob!” That said….this feels like the strongest side we’ve taken there in a good while. An actual centerhalf partnership. A rock at RB and a dangerous LB. Partey healthy*. ESR and Saka in solid form. Auba scoring again. A point would be a good result today. Three? Well, supporters always hope, right? COYG!!! *rapping furiously on my coffee table.

November 20, 20214 yr 4-2-3-1. Arteta’s going for it. We’ve played well recently with Lacazette in the lineup. Come on, lads!!!! Edited November 20, 20214 yr by Dutch Auba will play upfront w/ Laca behind him in the midfield.
November 20, 20214 yr We may not get many that good. Saka just needed to be a touch better. Edited November 20, 20214 yr by Dutch
November 20, 20214 yr Blown away. Again. A loss was always likely, but I was hopeful we’d at least show some progress. A 4-2, 3-2 loss…ok. But another hiding? Damn.
November 26, 20214 yr If you haven’t gone to Twitter for some Spurs schadenfreude after yesterday’s loss to Mura you really owe it to yourself.
November 26, 20214 yr *Haven’t won a major trophy in 30 years. *Last top flight title (1961 🤣) was closer to Queen Victoria’s death than today. #Spursy.
November 27, 20214 yr Frustrating 1st half but better in the 2nd. Great goal from Martinelli, what a volley. We’re going to need goals from him the rest of the season Lets reel off another ten-match unbeaten run. Three needed points, lads, and those fuckers on Tuesday. Damn I hope Saka isn’t out for any extended period. Edited November 27, 20214 yr by Dutch
December 2, 20214 yr Utd couldn't have waited to can Ole until after today? Bastards... Saka is a possibility if he passes a fitness check. Hate to rush him and risk aggravating his injury, because the fixture list is rather plump this month: Nine matches between today and NYD. Today: Utd (A) 12/6 Everton (A) 12/11: Southampton (H) 12/15 West Ham (H) 12/18 Leeds (A) 12/21 Sunderland (H) Carabao Cup 12/26 Norwich (A) 12/28 Wolves (H) 1/1 City (H)
December 2, 20214 yr I miss the days when this was the marquee fixture of the season, where the league was decided.
