Jaffa Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 We luckily got a point today against Hull...From a City point of view, Jelavic limped out of the warm up and is currently on crutches, Michael Dawson's knee is (in the words of Steve Bruce) 'the size of a basketball', and Steven Harper's bicep muscle has separated from the bone meaning we're down to fielding our third choice 'keeper.The medical staff are going to be busy.

IanC Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 If Spurs can just stop hacking at players then we might just stop giving th stupid penalties away.Soldado needs to go. Only two goals from open play in 31 league appearances. The other four from penalties. Sore point as he missed one today. Just not good enough return from the money we paid for him. Pochettino has a massive amount of work on his hands but what makes it worse is the fact his old club Southampton sold off most of thier best players and are sitting high up the league with a good result today.

crashcarson15 Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 What surprises me about the whole Serbia-Albania situation is that the two nations aren't kept apart by FIFA/UEFA in qualification groups. If the likes of Spain and Gibraltar are purposefully kept separate due to politics, then why aren't two nations where there exist such clear problems?You'd have to keep all of them apart though. Montenegro, Croatia, Bosnia, Albania, Serbia. You can't really do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What happens when all five of them get second place?Plus if you can't play nice with an eighth of the membership, should you really even be playing?

Soldado is a bust....there's no salvaging that purchase anymore. And Adebayor isn't nearly consistent enough. They should have grabbed one in the summer. I'm hoping there will be someone serviceable come January that we can bring in. They won't have to do much to outperform Roberto or Ade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're less than a generation removed from fairly widespread attempts on the part of Serbs to wage genocide upon several of their neighbors. 2. If there is any apparent sorrow on the part of the Serbs about point 1, its that they failed to achieve their goals. 3. Pretty much everytime you look, you see the Serb fans practicing some form of racial/ethnic intimidation. I'll stick by my point.

TorinK92 Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 Glad to see the Everton game tomorrow played at 1pm EST tomorrow, instead of it's usual time a closer to 3, which means I won't be on the bus travelling home for the entire game and I'll actually be able to watch it in it's entirety.

You are pigeonholing everyone to be the same and thats not true. You accusing everyone from a region to be all classed the same is unjust and utterly wrong because of a minority might be.
