Yet, despite these deserved plaudits, I can?t help noticing that yet again, the media jerking circle are far more focussed on Liverpools demise. First game on last nights highlights and lead story on news pages and breakfast tv.Quote:

Agreed. I have serious man love for Timber as well, does he ever make a mistake? Lose a duel?Quote:

One pundit {NLD?} said he's the best FB in the league. Hard to argue with that. And ex-Ajax boys Dennis and Kanu both won the league in their 3rd full season with us. And JT is a real total footballer. Amazing that he scores headers from corners when he's only 5'10". Not the first time, either.Quote:

Equally spurs, city and united. Just need Chelsea to implode as well but I think that's too much to hope for.Quote:

France Football and the rest of the Euro cabal will be furiously plotting to not award the Ballon d?Or to anyone associated with the Premier League.Quote:

The kyunt..
I wouldn't swap his 'world class' defenders for Saliba and Timber. I would love to know who he is talking about though....Quote:

Funny old game.

We have the intensity and the hunger back in our game. The football flows from it. And now we have the squad to help us maintain it.
I hate to harp on, but bear in mind this is the same side that was too scared of Liverpool a few months ago. Right now, they aren't scared of anyone.
Anything is possible this season. But none of it is going to be easy :-)
The 2nd half was about as good as I've seen us in a very long time.Quote:

We have to maintain this performance level, or close to it. It is really hard to keep it going twice a week.
Right. Anfield shrouded in crisis is a far better story than the Arsenal not in crisis.Quote:
