Other games - 30th Sep - 2nd Oct

Spurs looking ominously good again. 2-0 up on Huddersfield already.

I really don't like them, but I can't help but admire their football.

And Kane gets his 2nd with a great goal & 3rd Spurs goal...
Sad to say, he's one of their own & well impressive

MrsGrey

Huddersfield Plan A was to go for it. Always flawed.

WHU_Champo_league_in_7_years

At least we aren't the only ones who let in 3 away to Tottenham

Have to admit like you OCS that it's hard not to admire them despite the hatred of them

Bazshuayi

Its a bit easier when you have Kane as your FF captain and have slid Trippier + Davies into your team just in time ;whistle

The way that Kane, who I understand is naturally right footed, struck his second goal with his left, was really impressive

Expat_Hammer

So alli can teach Tom Daley a few things - that was a disgusting cheating dive

NEoldiron

Total slime ball. Did the same against us but the boy ref gave him a free kick that lead to their 3rd. ;angry

MrsGrey

Should have been a pen when the dodgy keeper tripped Erikson imo

Expat_Hammer

Mrs G, it shouldn't have, this is the spuds we're talking about here ;whistle

Shoulda captained Davies ;wink

Bazshuayi

Just pleased I did something right! Those 3 players (and the expected bonus points from Kane and Davies) on their own have scored more than my whole team did in GW3 and GW4! ;wahoo ;barrera ;poormf

chicagohammer

Palace already one down and Roy Hodgson looks very forlorn indeed - could be a long afternoon for them

P7 W0 D0 L7 F0 A17 Pts0

As bad as we've been, at least we're not Palace.

Everton 0-1 Burnley keeps us 15th.

A minutes applause at St James's Park for the passing of Freddie Shepherd.

I'm don't like that a minutes silence has been replaced by clapping.

MrsGrey

I think that he is my friend's cousin.

NEoldiron

Suze, when I pop my clogs, there'll be a few quid behind the bar to celebrate my passing.
Thinking about it, for some reason, that doesn't sound quite right ;biggrin

MrsGrey

Suze, he was the one who was caught in a News of the World sting ridiculing Newcastle fans. I'm not sure they thought a minutes silence would have been respected. (he turned out not to be my friends cousin... that was who he was caught with in the Fake Sheikh tape ;doh

SuzanneClaret

I do remember that about Shepherd and maybe that was part of the reason why they decided on a minutes clapping.

Personally I don't like it.

MrsGrey

Does it seem like there is a move towards making only the Remembrance Day (or month, as it seems to be nowadays ;angry) a silent thing?

MrsGrey

Oh no be because they do silence for victims of terrorism don't they? Ignore me I'm just thinking aloud.

MunichHammer

I would think that applauding the victims of a terrorist attack would send out the wrong message. We know the terrorists hear what they want to hear and I would expect a minute of applause to be interpreted as well done, go kill some more.
A minute's silence is much more sombre in this case and sends out an unambiguous message.

SuzanneClaret

Clapping to celebrate a life lived.

Silence to commemorate / remember the fallen.

Vorselaarhammer

So that's how the Icelandic chant started...

MrsGrey

Seems fair enough, suz ;ok
