Clean sweep today. Wins for ManU, Liverpool and a defeat for Arsenal.

Are you a Leicester fan now?

Thought so.:nod:

This could quite possibly be the start of the best Tottenham team I've ever seen. The scary thing is when the season started I thought we were short of quality and stars.

Pochettino has been remarkable and I hope he is Tottenham boss for a very long time.

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

Just hope Kane keeps his health this season or at least until the January transfer window reopens.

I support a team that beat NUFC 3-0 this season...

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

He looked knackered after about 70 minutes. I thought Poch was a bit slow to sub him. My only critique of the day.

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

Sunderland won yay!

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

Seems to sum up the situation reasonably well...

Newcastle's Mike Ashley must decide: does he stick with Steve McClaren or twist and take a punt on David Moyes? - Telegraph

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

There are several of those, but I thought you were a Man U supporter?

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

Good result from the Toon. Showed a lot of character this afternoon.

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

Yeabut. I'm beyond caring. :(

If anyone is really really bored they can scroll back several years in this thread to find that I suggested Jurgen Klopp as a good choice as NUFC manager when they instead appointed Joe Effing Kinnear.

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

From this result it looks like you had a lucky escape.

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

Ho-di-ho. I lived in Mainz when Klopp was a player and later player-manager for '05. He took Mainz from the cellar of Bundesliga 2 to the UEFA cup (as was). When JFK was hired, Klopp was "on sabbatical", but ignored, he, no doubt reluctantly, signed up for the Borrusia Dortmund job instead.

Ah, well. At least we've still got Mike Effing Ashley.

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

What Novo said. I actually want to go down just to mess with Ashley's plans.

A good draw for England .......... in theory.

I thought S*********d were a bit lucky today. Only 0-1.

Shame really.

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

Oh my! Sorry James but after last week that was a bit special.

It's actually quite nice to have Jose M looking up at the Toon.

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

Watched it at the Wheatsheef with a Geordie.

Was pretty pissed. Especially with United losing and Liverpool drawing. A chance to go Top 4 missed.

Newcastle deserved it. They dug in in the second half and stopped Tottenham playing.

Lloris should have perhaps stopped the winning goal but there you go.

Merry Christmas from the southern softies.

MANCHESTER United has pledged to stop fans smuggling puzzles, games and books into Old Trafford to keep them occupied during matches.

The club has trained its security staff to spot a sudoku book being concealed inside a match programme and bags are being searched for novels.

Suspicions were raised during the team’s 0-0 draw with West Ham when a Marouane Fellaini near miss was greeted by absolute silence, except for a dispute taking place over a game of ‘Buckaroo!’ in the Stretford End.

A Manchester United spokesman said: “We will not tolerate fans being entertained.”

Season ticket holder Wayne Hayes said: “Since August I’ve read most of Dickens. It has been a literary feast, courtesy of Louis van Gaal.”

He added: “I’m taking my tax return to the Norwich game.”

Well that cheered me up. "The miracle and the mess." :hysterical:

It is rather pleasant to see Chel$hite in such a bother, isn't it?

Apparently, everyone is driving just below the speed limit past Stamford Bridge as they keep handing out three points.

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

There are some horrible people about.

I heard a cat crying outside so I opened the door and saw 4 blokes in Chelsea shirts playing football with it.

I was just about to phone the RSPCA when the cat went 1-0 up.

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

:lol:

On a slightly different note, if Canada insists on the oath to the queen and all that stuff for citizenship, shouldn't the SPCA be the RSPCA? :sneaky::sneaky:

That moggie was probably offside and we didn't lose to your mob so it ain't all bad.

Season 1: Buy the bus
Season 2: Park the bus
Season 3: Throw the players under the bus

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

The moggie let Jose down. Betrayed him even.

That and the ballboys.

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

I guess that's probably not a bad summary

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

Love it BristolUK. We're Liverpool fans and DS said sudoku is a little too difficult for Man U fans and should be colouring booksí ½í¸‚

Although know Chelsea will not be relegated it's fun to see their free fall í ½í¸‚

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

Well the Unhappy One is gone, the way the results were going I kind of wish he had stayed longer but there you go

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

Yup.

Intrigued to see where both Mourinho and Chelsea end up.

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

I reckon Pep will be next at Chelsea
