This Weekend's Fixtures (13/14 Feb).

Our game at the dump against them in a few weeks time is going to be massive assuming we pick up points against United & Swansea.

Well let's try to avoid undoing all our work when we face utd. That's the immediate task at hand, if you ignore the barca sideshow.

We're due a league win against them, aren't we? (Mind you, by that logic we should have beaten Chelsea in the league about 2 years ago!)

Nevertheless, it will be huge. I just hope Wenger really does his homework on them- looks at how teams have beaten them this season and how we can exploit that.

[Kano]

Carragher arguing that City should be thankful for the penalty decision.

[Niall_Quinn]

Why aren't they talking about Kompany? Didn't they say it would all be different when he came back? Apparently it's DeBrownstuff they miss now. And then it will be Aguero when he gets injured again. Pure bullshit. There's no excuse for a team that has invested so much in the team. They are a laughing stock so why don't the pundits have a pair of balls between them and just say it?

[The Emirates Gallactico]

Leicester beat them a few weeks back and really should have turned them over in the cup but for (yet again) another shambolic refereeing performance in favour of Spurs.

The only thing is, they appear to be winning games by the odd goal, it's not awe-inspiring, and they've been incredibly fortunate with injuries. Their luck will run out. Mark my words.

I dunno about that. I really hate saying this but they've got a Man Utd under Ferguson like quality about them with how they grind out wins. They were lucky with a goal today however their goal difference figure of 27 which is far above ours and both Leceister's and City's tells it's own story about how dominant they've been.

I'm with Selassie above .......... I'm genuinely scared.

The only hope is either the Europa cup fucks them up or an injury to Kane/Ali.

[Özim]

Hasn't it got to the stage where it's beyond suspicious they don't have the assistance of replays? Why the hell not. What with the spray can and the posturing and yard marking, it takes a full minute for the whole free kick ritual to unfold. Nobody seems to mind the time wasting that goes no. But apparently a 4th official taking a quick look at a replay would delay the game. What with the spectacular failure of goal line tech, which hasn't got a single decision wrong to date, you have to wonder why these strange decisions are still allowed to influence results.

Well yes I agree with this but it seems they don't want to take that route for some reason or other, so the refs have to deal with it as best they can, which can't be easy to be fair to them, they are bound to make mistakes.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Man utd (a), Swansea (h).

Swansea (h), West Ham (a) before the league game against them.

Plus the two Europa League games for the Spuds against Fiorentina, our game against Barca and the two FA Cup ties also. Basically, there is a lot to happen before that match.

Well they could help themselves by abiding by a simple rule that dictates they have actually seen the incident and are sure in their own minds a foul has taken place. No way Calttenberg could have been sure of that one and nobody would have slagged him if he came out and simply said he couldn't see it. Instead he assumes. That's where the problems start, when refs imagine what might have happened rather than actually seeing it.

Yep, we can definitely beat them and at their ground, assuming things stay as they are then it's going to be a huge game. I rate this Spurs team above the Modric/Bale one, they don't really have any weak areas IMO and they have a deep squad. I personally don't think they will be collapsing like their previous teams, something about this team that tells me they are in it for the duration.

The United game will be tough, but we are more than capable of winning and at their ground. We need to step up now, no room for error now as we're deep in a title race.
