**Official Other Games Thread, Season 2012/13**

Re: **Official Other Teams & Games Thread, Season 2012/13**

The tube strike which did not prevent at least 2 other london clubs successfully holding games.

The last 20 mins their freshness really told, not like AFC have bent the rules to suit their purpose before is it
 
Re: **Official Other Teams & Games Thread, Season 2012/13**

but even if you sign a defender or two in january you're still probably going to lose Ba which seems like 1 step forward and 2 steps back. You fudged up royally not adding quality in the summer.

i wonder if Cisse could do with Ba leaving? More focus on him?
 
Re: **Official Other Teams & Games Thread, Season 2012/13**

Fourth is going to be tricky.

In all fairness it was always going to be with a new boss in charge with new methods. I think we have done really well to be where we are.
Although with having Arsenal to play at home, I suppose you could say we still have our destiny in our own hands.
We've played United,City,Arsenal and Everton away so not bad going at all

Probably, him playing out wide isn't helping him.

If Ba doesn't sign a new deal without the clause Pardew will force him out.

yeh maybe but it's still rather fudging stupid. They'll probably start playing Cisse centrally and Ben Arfa on the right of a 3 when he returns but who on the left? Marvaeux? i mean he looks decent i guess but he doesn't possess nowhere near the goalscoring threat of Ba.
 
Re: **Official Other Teams & Games Thread, Season 2012/13**

Didn't really expect anything today, it just infuriates me that we haven't invested in some defenders given how much quality we have going in the other direction.

The summer just gone was such a good opportunity to put that right and really push on and we signed one midfielder.

Sounds a familiar story. Story of Tottenham for the last few windows, really hope we make a couple of signings next month.

Can't argue with Walcott's output this season, maybe Chelsea will move for him.
 
Re: **Official Other Teams & Games Thread, Season 2012/13**

you could go down

I don't think we will, we have genuine quality going forward and have Cabaye, Ben Arfa, Anita, Jonas, Taylor etc to come back in so I think we will be comfortable about 10th and give the Europa League a real go.

Huge game at St. James' Park on Wednesday now against a good Everton side.
 
Re: **Official Other Teams & Games Thread, Season 2012/13**

Wonder how the Wenger out phalanx feels now.

I think they would still be perfectly justified. A record of no trophies in 7 (and probaly 8 years) for a top club and manager is disgusting. Dont get me wrong, im a happy bunny because as long as he is there I dont think they will ever win one under him again.

But if I was a gooner I would be gutted.
 
Re: **Official Other Teams & Games Thread, Season 2012/13**

Btw it isn't really fair that Arsenal get a longer break than us over what is a pretty tough Christmas period.

Why was their game with West Ham called off when QPR and Fulham both played at home in London on boxing day? Utter gonads.

Coz their c***s. They are the luckiest team going. If a team comes up against Arsenal you can bet that the oppositions best player will be out.

Credit to them to be fair when they are in the mood they play with some real pace and its hard to contain. But they can only do that if you allow it, we have done in our last two brick performances v them at their patch.

Saudi Sportswashing Machine are a lot better than that. Cabaye and Ben Arfa would have brick Arsenal up today. Shame.
 
Re: **Official Other Teams & Games Thread, Season 2012/13**

I want us to sign Ba in January btw.

I think most on here agree, its the wages that will be an issue, Arsenal, Liverpool and Chelsea will all offer him more cash than us and if im honest Ba is another greedy footballer who will go for the biggest payday

Marv is better in the middle, if we're going to continue playing this system, which allows us to play some pretty good attacking football, then we need to sign a player to play left of the three.

I can see Ba going, quite a lot of our fans will be quite pleased if he does, he is very selfish.
 
Re: **Official Other Teams & Games Thread, Season 2012/13**

Do you reckon he would do a Sol and come to us ???

Would'nt want him anywhere near the club. Walcott has flattered to decieve the past 6 years and suddenly has a wonder season when he is contract talks. Funny that.
