Official Premiership 2008/09 thread

Lennon signed a new deal just a month or so ago. If he does go anywhere, which I doubt because he seems to enjoy playing at Spurs, it'll be for a hell of a lot of money.

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

Cynicists are saying that the contract is just to safeguard his transfer value. I sincerely hope not as his style of play really suits Spurs. Much like Modric down the left. All pace, dribbling and flashy counter-attack. It's just nice that for once we have a decent defence and defensive midfielder to back it up...

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

Man I REALLY hope that Reading get promoted. Looks like Birmingham are all but out of it so if Palace can score against Sheff Utd....Mmmm Reading bliss!

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

What a really strange season for Spurs.

Although a 1-0 win AT HOME against the bottom club seems a bit shaky...

It's Tottenham's 6th successive home clean sheet with five in a row being our fourth best in history!

SOMEHOW this season Tottenham have only conceded nine in their 18 home matches and the club record for a season is 11 so 0 or 1 conceded in the final home game and it's a new record. Just shows how much Harry has achieved!

The best Premiership home against is 16 so that's all but beaten now.

How do you work that one out? They're second with a game to go and in the best position

AGGER'S SIGNED A NEW CONTRACT

[stokeriño]

Liverpool: keep a clean sheet tomorrow. kthxbye.

[Matt]

Do you guys still sing Agger-do-do-do? Best chant ever

[The Future]

I don't get how Carrick has been average before he came into our team we were playing O'Shea and Fletcher in the middle. He struggled a bit in the 06/07 but he's been one of our most consistent players and usually when he plays well the team does too.

Haven't Palace failed to score in 7 of their last 9 home games? Also, I believe we have only lost once in our last 16 away games.

Of course, this being Sheffield United, we'll now be soundly beaten.

Because, bar beating Wolves, Birmingham have been pretty dire of late. I'd consider Reading the better side, and Reading are at home.

[IAceI]

And Reading haven't won at home in 7, but last lost on the road in January. So... they'd probably rather be away actually.

Torres' hamstrings fucked again.

What a shit season.

[Matt]

That boy needs to get his hamstring sorted else he'll end up like Owen.

[Crybaby Bunting]

Owen only ended up how he is now because he played far too much as a lone striker from an early age... and ended up breaking his body pretty badly.

Thankfully Torres isn't being used as a lone strik... I mean, hasn't played loads of first team games from an early a...

Yeah, he needs to be sorted out. Quickly!

[therockbox]

Houllier and Phil Thompson ruined Owen. When he first started having his hamstring problems one of our physio's at the time told them he needed an extra two months or so rehab to go through a proper weightlifting/exercise regime to fix his hammys. Houllier and Thompson said no because they wanted him playing again. The physio (Mark someone, I think) then resigned because he wanted no part of it.

That and his quads were huge in comparison to his hamstring.

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

More than a suspicion of offside in that Benayoun goal but Alan Smith's defending was laughable.

[Turbo Yannis]

Newcastle really are the fucking pits. They deserve to go down for being so bloody terrible.

[Asuka's Gonna Kill You]

I'm not watching the game, what's happened to Torres? Serious injury or not too bad?

[9 to 5]

Did his hamstring before match.
