Thanks guys for filling 99.9% of the time alloted to your 'analysis' of the Wolves v Spurs game to all things Spurs. Wolves goals may have come at the end of the game but it was a game they dominated. This bias towards 'bigger teams' is embarrassing and always forgets that there are two professional teams competing.
Very funny....the mere fact of asking the question gives you the answer. Can you take a comedian seriously?
an own goal in a s*** match and Arsenal are the new treble winner's God these pods are so predictable
Aways been bobbins scores a couple of goals and he's the new messiah, so gave him a new contract when they could have got rid.
