The 2011/12 Gary Speed Memorial Thread

I like how he made absolutely no attempt to get out of Barton's way.

[MJB]

That was a foul on Graham there but no penalty given, QPR then go right up the other end and Vorm denies Adel with a very good left hand.

[Summers]

Fair play for Probert for letting them go at it a little.

[Baddar]

I think I put a curse on it when I said ''good refereeing'' - definitely a foul on Graham, and Taarabt is absolutely clattered by Williams, but gets nothing.

Again, Warnock's reaction was one of hysteria.

Not really, it's fucking Wigan, they're toss and have been every single season they've been in the Premier League.

They have a go every now and then though! Arsenal in 09/10 (and what a peculiar game that was, 3-2 after being 2-0 down), Chelsea game a few weeks ago, Liverpool. They don't even have a go at raising their game when they play United. Not that I have an issue with that, they should never be relegated for that exact reason.

[Baddar]

LOL, Warnock. Another amazing reaction.

[MJB]

Guessing Lineker is either at the game or at work, so . . .

Norwich: Ruddy, Martin, Drury, Whitbread, De Laet, Crofts, Surman, Fox, Hoolahan, Morison, Holt.

Subs: Rudd, Barnett, Johnson, Pilkington, Bennett, Jackson, Wilbraham

Tottenham: Friedel, Walker, Kaboul, Gallas, Assou-Ekotto, Parker, Sandro, Van Der Vaart, Modric, Bale, Adebayor.

Subs: Gomes, Bassong, Kranjcar, Rose, Livermore, Pienaar, Pavlyuchenko

When Spurs get going, I'd say Barca are the only team who play better football.

[IAceI]

Cliche but I can't believe there hasn't been a goal in this match, has been entertaining with plenty of chances.

[Baddar]

Bale, 1-0. It was only a matter of time.

[MJB]

Norwich's goalmouth looks like something out of the 80's.

[Dan]

Gareth Bale is so great.

[GoGo Yubari]

Gareth Bale

[Baddar]

Spurs are heading 4pts clear of Chelsea with a game in hand. Wow. Sorry, Stoker.

[MJB]

This could get messy for Norwich if Tottenham can be bothered. You have to feel for Norwich though, three of their first choice defenders are missing tonight for various reasons and any team would struggle with that, let alone one of the promoted sides.

[Baddar]

Full time, 2-0. Did I see that Sky have a live game tomorrow too? (don't think it'll be PL as they've all played) I know Liverpool-Newcastle is Thursday.

[MJB]

The Old Firm Derby.

[TCO]

Liverpool vs Newcastle is Friday night.

[Lineker]

Nah MJB, I was at a Christmas party. Not seen any of today's footy yet will watch the highlights tomorrow though. Bale

Poor Chris Whelpdale. Can't imagine how the tackle managed to nearly castrate him - got caught with the studs?
