Christmas Matchday Chat - 26-28th December 2017

[Batard]

Wall to wall football this next week ahead 

 

[Eco]

I'm going to go on a limb and predict Newcastle 1 - 6 Manchester City

Morata returns for this one, only acceptable result is a win to keep our dreams of a top three finish.

[RandoEFC+]

Spent part of my post Christmas dinner coma putting together the most ridiculous but still vaguely possible accumulator. 10p returns over £5000.

We won't score.

[Dan+]

We've got a shocking record on boxing day and a pretty bad record at Watford as well. Lost every boxing day game since we've been promoted.

This'll be my 9th trip to Watford. It's a bit ridiculous.

I think we can win. Unsure what he'll do about the right back situation but they're really off form at the minute, although as you saw last week with Palace's away goals record being lifted in style against charity Leicester I wouldn't be surprised if we ended yet another crap run here.

Draw is probably the most likely outcome, but we can get at these. They're shocking defensively.

[Dave]

Hopefully the teams around us don't enjoy the next two gameweeks or all our good work is undone.

I think you’ll win, recent omens aside. Since the Everton link, the players discipline at Watford has gone awry and a promising start has leveled out pretty much to what Mazzari got out of them last season around this time. 

That this isn’t the first time it’s happened; leads me to believe it’s inherent within the club, fostered by the Pozo ownership. Clearly some players probably expect to shipped out and feel no affinity for the club, you could argue it’s the same at many but the revolving door policy at Watford has ... well ... it’s cultivated some fair weather players who, whilst I cannot abide the reference “do it on a rainy night in Stoke” actually can’t perform or don’t care when it’s cold at Vicarage road. 

The amount of red cards and injuries is astounding too.

I think our game today could break records as the worst game of football played. 

[Honey Honey]

We've never conceded more than 2 goals with Lascelles at the back. If that is still intact after playing Man City he should get one of those token gesture England call ups in the next friendly. Unless the 2 goals are his fault 

[Stan]

Kane scores! The record is broken!

[Stan]

Rose nearly scores a comical own goal  

Goes to head it back to Lloris, goes to high, Lloris tips it on to the post and just off the line. Lucky!

[Honey Honey]

Fraser Forster looks rubbish this season

[Chaaay AFC]

You cannot deny it, Harry Kane is up there with the very best. Sensational scoring form this year.

[Honey Honey]

Atmosphere is shocking. 

[Dave]

Come on Harry. Put that Argentine piss taking gimp in his place.

@Berserker?

[Stan]

and that's Kane's 2nd record broken in the space of 38 minutes today!

Most goals in calendar year in Premier League beating Alan Shearer's record. 

Most goals in calendar year this year - 55 now. 

Brilliant striker. One of the world's best.

[RandoEFC+]

Easiest choice of fantasy captain all season.

[Stan]

he's a massive cunt but that is a beauty of a goal from Alli. Caressed and curled in to the side of the net to make it 3-0.

[RandoEFC+]

Alli fires a third while Southampton's defence stand having a cuppa.

[RandoEFC+]

Four nil, too easy from Southampton but class from Tottenham 

[Stan]

devastating counter from Spurs. Redmond gives it away in Spurs box, Alli races through the middle to pass it to Son and he has no problem tucking it past Forster.

could be 6 or 7 if Spurs want it.

[Honey Honey]

Do Southampton have any players valued at £15m+ left?

Any Southampton academy product is one decent Super Sunday performance away from having a £30m tag slapped on his head for five years at any given time.
