Brighton X Tottenham

One of my favourite fixture of the year in terms of what it would mean for winning. Brighton beating Arsenal's rival - sign me up!

 

[YNWA14]

This will be a tricky fixture. Leicester are a very good team and very well managed. Liverpool have a short turnaround and have looked tired of late. It is at home which will be a boost but I wouldn't be shocked if we dropped points here.

United trying to make it 11 straight away games without a win.

United trying to make it 11 straight away games without a win.

And they definitely will. I’m expecting a 0-0 draw with little to no shots on goal from either team.

I don’t get too worried about games at Anfield these days, but this will be a tough one. This is also a great chance to make up on two points from last season (like the Chelsea game) so it would be a great win if they can manage it.

They will be in tough this weekend. New Castle often tries really hard to not score...

On the contrary, this week United is playing at home to Ole Gunnar Solksjaer's rabble in the Can We Take Back Our Previous Managerial Appointment, Please? derby.

And very likely losing a game that projects to be utterly dire.

 

[hatterson]

I do appreciate that absolutely everyone projects the game to be mind numbingly boring.

 

[Savant]

Look at Steve Bruce’s career record vs Man Utd. He is going to roll over. OGS would actively have to try to lose this game for Utd to mess this up

Watch it be 5-4 or something wild like that and go down as the game of the season.

Only if Own Goal achieves the first double hat-trick in EPL history.

I miss that guy...

 

[The Abusement Park]

He hasn’t been doing that?

 

[YNWA14]

Well apparently he doesn’t think United’s away record is a problem. So maybe he has been.

 

[AB13]

Hahahahhahaah Lloris.

 

[Aladyyn]

um, Spurs?

 

[John Price]

 

[Artorius Horus T]

Broke a bone? something?

 

[Artorius Horus T]

Get well soon Lloris.

 

[Jack Straw]

Broke a bone? something?

Saw a photo on twitter, looks like either broken arm or dislocated elbow.

 

[Prntscrn]

Yeah he f***ed his elbow up big time. That thing was bent the wrong way

 

[AB13]

Should be a clear penalty for Brighton there. Moss is too fat and old to ref the Premier League, can't keep up.

 

[Halladay]

Oh Spurs.

2-0
