No, we played badly for us Joe. I don't know much about Gent but I know they are not bad defensively and by tonight's reaction they played out of their skins.Why? A short hop over to Belgium to play a bunch of second raters' 2nd team. Why is that so hard? I went there last summer, I didn't crash, I didn't hit anyone. I even worked out their chip machines on my own.
Cool it mate. I speak from experience. Do it like CJJ - silly little £1 bets.I do have one ongoing accumulator which, if it comes through, will net me back £130 thus more or less wiping out my loss tonight.
All I need is for:
Juventus beat Palermo
Man City beat Huddersfield
Celtic beat Motherwell
Chelsea beat Wolves
PSV beat NEC
Sevilla beat Eibar
Barcelona beat Leganes
PSG beat Toulouse
Take it you ain't been recently Bolton?Fucking pants. We will turn it round next week. Never seen Spurs lose at Wembley & it's not going to fucking start now.

I do think lack of goal scorers is the heart of the problem. It was the problem in November/December and then we scored freely but again it is not happening.I wrote a pretty long post in the Liverpool thread about why we won't go anywhere with an away form so poor, pointing to Europe as a banana skin.
And to my complete non-surprise, we perform shit away from home, yet again.
Who in that starting 11 can score goals? Kane and Alli. That's it.
Relying on 2 players to win you a game isn't good tactics, it's madness. Son and GKN should have started.
Love ya goaty.Oh don't worry - fuck betting after this. Lesson learnt!
*Although I do have one free £5 skybet to use up...
Hasn't t he started every game in the Pl and Europe or did he miss one?Wanyama looked pretty gassed out there today. He definitely needs to be rested. Move Dier up to CDM and start Wimmer at CB on Sunday.
Was there for CSKA, time before that was the '91 cup final...so yes & no really.Take it you ain't been recently Bolton?
You dodged the losses then. Fair play.Was there for CSKA, time before that was the '91 cup final...so yes & no really.
Think he was on the bench for the first Monaco game, other than that I think he's played every PL/Europe game. Not bad for a guy a lot of people expected to just be Dier's backup.Hasn't t he started every game in the Pl and Europe or did he miss one?
When Dembele took on half their team, beat them had a chance to shoot, and probably score, with his right but couldn't. He also slows the game down a bit.I do think lack of goal scorers is the heart of the problem. It was the problem in November/December and then we scored freely but again it is not happening.
With Eriksen and Son on the bench and Lamela and Rose injured we only had Kane and Dele that have confidence to score. How many times do Dembele, Wanyama, Winks and Sissoko instead of trying to score look for a pass to someone else when they get close to the opposition box. It is ok for a couple but not 4 players in the same match. GKN and Onomah are no better. Last season we did not have the injuries to Kane and Lamela and we had Chadli.
Wasn't an option for the first 2 CL games through work. Only managed to get to 3rd game through a change of shifts &, as Nutter-Naylor wasnt able to go, had an opportunity to get a ticket.You dodged the losses then. Fair play.
I'm not having a go mate. Just get yourself down there for the 2nd leg.Wasn't an option for the first 2 CL games through work. Only managed to get to 3rd game through a change of shifts &, as Nutter-Naylor wasnt able to go, had an opportunity to get a ticket.

I know you aren't. Already sorted the night off work, my lad is travelling down, Groupon meal in Knightsbridge & hotel at Wembley booked so no fucking about on the tube after the match. Same routine as CSKA, hopefully the same result, with us going into the hat for the next round.I'm not having a go mate. Just get yourself down there for the 2nd leg.
Love those 6 courses. Glad you're meeting up with your son. Have a good one Bolton.I know you aren't.
