Obvious isn't it - he wasn't playing football the 'Derby way' .the-muffin-man - MemberSo Derby sack their manager - I wonder if the 'special one' fancies a lower league challenge!...
Was there ever a 'Derby way' of playing, even in the 70s? Sounds like the 'Spurs way' of playing attractive football, you just need to be over 80 years old to ever remember seeing it.
Well it started with the united way, when fergie got annoyed with all the praise the arsenal unbeaten season got, so he made some pap up about united being about all out attack. Then west ham, spurs and Newcastle adopted and demanded it. And finally citeh have apparently been playing in this style under Pelegrini this season, yet pretty much every match I have watched them in they haven't been dissimilar to utd in that they play possession in front of the opposition, but they are portrayed very differently by the media.
Surprised to see Moyes distancing himself from the Derby job, he was my instant thought when I seen Clement had been sacked
Gary Neville should be available shortly
Nah, he's going to turn around that first leg deficit, go on and win the Copa, and it'll all be roses from ....
Oooh, flying pigs!
Spurs have been solid and with all the press focus elsewhere have been able to get on with the job. Massive win for Leicester against City, if Spurs don't win the League I'd be happy enough to see Leicester do it 🙂
Icining on the cake would be Newcastle and especially Chelsea to go down
All to play for

Spurs have always tried to play attacking football, it's not something Fergie made up and was copied. The club motto is the latin for 'To dare is to do'.
Further here are a couple of relevant Bill Nicholson quotes (LVG would do well to read them 😉 ):
"It's no use just winning, we've got to win well."
"We must always consider our supporters, for without them there would be no professional football. It would be better to have more fans watching football the way they like it played, rather than have a few fans watching football the way we would like it played."
And another from Dave Mackay
"He (Bill) never let us forget that we were out there to entertain the public."

Well as an Arsenal fan I'm shocked . We win a big game and are right back in it . Football bloody 'ell
Yay...appalling penalty decision but great win in the end for the Arsenal.
Welcome back Danny Welbeck!
Jesus! Villa are truly bloody awful!
I'll be really glad to see them go down. They've hung around at the bottom of the premiership, like a fart in a loft, for far too long. I think we can safely say that they'll never bother the premiership ever again. They could even do a Leeds.
Arsenal can't win the premiership. I put money on them winning it at the start of the season. So that's the end of that! 😀
Must be the day for contentious penalty decisions.
That Spuds one really was awful!
Well regardless of who you support, this has now gone beyond where anyone would have imagined it would. I mean, Arsenal are hanging in against Leicester and Spurs with Citeh looking poor and Man U and Chelski out of it!
It's what we've been craving all these years...,,,so enjoy!
what I was thinking
Imagine the odds on Spurs and Leicester fighting it out at the start
The big four are certainly broken this year.

I dunno. Arsenal are doing ok.
They're not 4th for as usual.
3rd last year ta
Was thinking earlier on when the fixture computer did this weekend, who'd've thought the top 4 would be spurs, arsenal, & the cities?
Leicester's last game of the season, against Chelsea, was always thought of as a possible crowning of the Premiershio champions.........just not quite in the way that it's going!
Still not over yet.....
Says the very relieved spurs fan. 😀
COYS best football in the league and proving the journos wrong that all the Bale money was wasted.
A good core of young English talent and quality ex-Ajax players.
That Spuds one really was awful!
So how was that not a pen then? He jumped and raised his arm, ball hits arm and stops going forward. Sometimes you get them given, sometimes you don't.
COYS

Wasn't really in the area either tho, so lucky, but deserved victory in balance.
God knows what Sterling is thinking with that look....
Come on you Spurs indeed 🙂
As much of a Spurs fan as I am I'd be happy enough to see Leicester close it out
Eh you are second and you wont get a better chance 😯
You have not gone parochial and just settling for above Arsenal have you 😉
Personally think you have a better chance than Leicester as you have more star players
Either way it has been nice [ not as a man U fan] to see the big four broken/humbled/broken and it has not all just been about who has the deepest pockets.
LvG is utter shite he is so bad i cannot get my kids to watch Man U games as they are not even entertaining. We just play facing the wrong goal and have no incision. he also has a rare talent to make talent players shite. or leave or both.
His inability to admit he is ever wrong reminds me of someone but I just cannot place who that it is right now 😛

Wut? As a City supporter, I can say that because, frankly, we're playing crap and don't deserve it, and we've had a couple of league wins in recent years.
Don't make the mistake of assuming that Spurs' good form is here to stay. When they sell off your best players (again) at the end of the season, it might be business as usual.
There's no reason Spurs can't nick this.
We may have lost on Sunday but until the sending off there was really nothing to suggest Leicester won't maintain the position, they were literally all over Arsenal like a rash and played decisive attacking football when on the ball, football can be cruel 🙁
It's all very open and very exciting (nervous)

What was he thinking!! Loads of people scrape their season ticket money together each year, to watch shite like that yesterday, and he's struggling to spend his £60k a week and looking at his next motor. Unreal.

What an odd thing to say.
I know it's not nice to laugh at others misfortune, but... Man Utd!!
😆 😆 😀 😆 😆
Oh blimey....here comes Messi & co. Time to hide behind the sofa! 😥
In arsene we trust
Big up the gunners lets av it , smash 'em ,so on and soforth
Warming up nicely, this. Good to see Arsenal properly go at them!
a crackin 0-0 so far
Aww bollox!
Looks like that's that then? Shows what Barca can do to you. They're scary when they break!
suicidal from arsenal, trying to press so far up the pitch is leaving acres of space for msn to run into.
Flamini is dog sh*t
ah.....bugger
It's not his fault he's been a great player for us but he shouldn't have been on the pitch tonight. Wenger should have known better!
No true it wasn't his fault but he has been poor for a while now ! Kind of my point . Should not be anywhere near a team playing at this level .
