Predictions v Spurs?

I'll go 2-2, although my heart says 0-2.

07 Nov 2025 08:40:38
“Lads it’s Spurs! ” 5 - 3!

07 Nov 2025 09:40:57
I always predict a united win but I don't bet on it thankfully🤣.

07 Nov 2025 11:11:11
Same Ken, I always think we're going to win but I will never put my money where my mouth is! Going 2-0 United.

07 Nov 2025 11:45:19
Patrick, you're suggesting we lose 5-3?

07 Nov 2025 11:45:51
Likewise, I never bet.

07 Nov 2025 12:51:09
No Fizz! Remember we were 3-0 down and at half time Alex said, ”Lads, it’s Spurs! ” We went out and put 5 past them in the second half! I should have written 3-5! As we were playing at theirs!

They are missing several players but will be on a high after their midweek win. Their home. Record is very poor so sods law they beat us. We owe them for the cup defeat so here's hoping we beat them heavily.

07 Nov 2025 16:38:34
Their home record is terrible but their record against us over the past three seasons is fantastic. I still don't think we have turned the corner, there will be a few more bumps in the road in my opnion.
I hope i am wrong.

Amorim & Dalot Related

Well that explains it.

07 Nov 2025 07:42:03
Bad link. Server not found. But it's The Sun so probably best.

07 Nov 2025 09:28:25
Ha yeah, was an article saying they're related via a great great grandad or something along those lines who happend to be a clown.

Take from that what you will!

06 Nov 2025 12:09:53
Really liked what Wilcox has been saying recently about the club and transfers etc. Thought it was great what he said about Sesko too. Finally feels like the club are behaving and sounding like a a proper Football Club.

06 Nov 2025 15:05:56
Yes ports. Round pegs in round holes is becoming the norm in all areas of the club.

06 Nov 2025 15:40:06
Almost like we had to trust the process!

{Ed's Note - Ed001 has posted a new article entitled, Matchday 10 - Quick Round Up

05 Nov 2025 22:56:11
Noooooo Ed, you had to do this whilst we were on our winning run! 😂😂.

{Ed001's Note - you drew.....}

06 Nov 2025 07:28:20
Yes. but I see there were no match reviews the few weeks prior Ed, whilst we won a few games in a row .

06 Nov 2025 07:28:20
Yes. but I see there were no match reviews the few weeks prior Ed, whilst we won a few games in a row .

{Ed001's Note - my parents were staying, seems they are a pair of Jonahs as Liverpool were terrible while they were here. The moment they went home, Liverpool start winning again! Don't worry, the good news for United fans is they are due back for a month in February.}

06 Nov 2025 09:25:12
Haha fair enough, only fair if they stay with you for the rest of the year no? Must say that was a big win against Madrid, who were terrible. Think teams in the relegation zone would have given you more of a game!

{Ed001's Note - the lads on the Liverpool site are having a whip round to send them on a cruise for the rest of the season instead!

I am not sure they were so bad, I genuinely think we actually played to our potential for once and caught them by surprise. It was the first time that the players looked like they knew what they were doing and were high on confidence too. When the ref refused to give them anything for their dives, Madrid just had no idea what to do.

A team in the relegation zone would have made it more difficult though, you are right on that, as they would have sat in and just blocked up the defensive third. Madrid tried to outplay us and are still recovering from Ancelotti's time in charge, where they were given far too much freedom.}

06 Nov 2025 21:43:41
Ed I think having your back four with Robertson and Connor in helped enormously. Proper defenders with the physicality to attack too. Blunted Madrids attack and wad the springboard for your win. Gravenbach also is a big player for you. Round pegs round holes in a system the team knows well. Basic but common sense really that you should play better.

04 Nov 2025 22:50:21
Seems like Anderson is the flavour of the month a midfield option for us. Have not watched him so much but whenever I have he has never struck me a being top class. A good player yes but not elite level. Maybe not a fair comparison but I would say Keane was a lot lot better.

Baleba wa the previous flavour of the month back end of last season but his form dropped off at the start of this season.

Apart from these two which really top top midfielders do you think we have a realistic chance of signing.

04 Nov 2025 23:25:42
I think Anderson is really top notch. I'd rate him a little ahead of even Wharton who I'd also be delighted if we got. He nailed his audition last weekend too unfortunately!

Baleba is going through a tough spell so it's hard to judge and looks like he needs more time to develop.

We were linked with Agoume in the summer but I'd imagine that Hjulmand is the likeliest alternative. He's a really good player but he's definitely not the athletic player that was described as being the priority.

04 Nov 2025 23:52:55
Baleba over anderson.

05 Nov 2025 00:21:34
I think Anderson is top class to be honest, I’d be delighted with him. He does everything Casemiro does at the moment for us but better imo.

05 Nov 2025 06:44:02
Id take both Anderson and Wharton

Anderson looks like he can run all day which we are massively lacking and Wharton is technically sound someone who can dictate play

We absolutely need 2 midfielders.

05 Nov 2025 07:41:17
I know we need more physicality in midfield but I want a smart player who can break up opposition attacks then initiate ours. A player who sets the tempo of a game.

05 Nov 2025 08:44:06
I tend to be a bit meh about most of the names that are bandied abiut, but every time I see Anderson I see real talent. He would make a huge difference.

05 Nov 2025 09:04:03
Salford7, so a lot like Anderson did to us last week?

05 Nov 2025 13:09:10
Angelo Stiller and Anderson for me.

05 Nov 2025 13:50:09
Anderson is very much a casemiro type player gets around the pitch in all the right places and has a good passing range.
Wharton is more of Bruno style playmaker still atlethic but not crazy.
In an ideal world you'd buy the 2 and play them side by side
Baleba is a decent option form seems to have dropped off a bit he's a proper powerhouse but lacks the ball playing more of a Kanye or a caicedo type I rate him but if I was spending 100 million he would be third choice for me .


Hijmlund is decent ball player don't think he would rubbish the physicality of the league and isn't that much better than ugarte.
We might have to sacrifice kobbie.

05 Nov 2025 18:27:29
So Bruno is going? He won’t be second fiddle! Anderson and Wharton would be good. Premiership proven, young and extremely talented. Kobbie off then?

05 Nov 2025 22:30:17
Patrick ne t season we will hopefully have a lit note games to play. One in this Jan and one in next to replace casimero. If we qualify for cl I think bruno stays if not he will probably leave.

05 Nov 2025 22:32:36
To be honest when did our midfield dominate any top teams in recent years? Anderson is one of many midfielders who run rings round ours. Not saying he isn't a good player or that he won't be the answer to our problems but am just not sure about him being a really elite midfielder.

05 Nov 2025 23:44:29
Can't be worse than the last Anderson we had.

06 Nov 2025 03:36:54
First time I have watched Anderson and paid any attention to him. looked a good player, reminded me a little of Rodri. Same body type. Reads the game well and shows up in the right places.

Strong. Has a pass in him. Of course I have barely seen much of him at all, but the little I saw, if he was the chosen one by our scouts I wouldn't be disappointed from the little I've seen.

06 Nov 2025 12:07:33
A midfield pairing of Anderson and Wharton would be great IMO. Think they would complement each other. Wharton I think could be a bit of a Carrick type player and as others have said, Anderson gets about, breaks up play but can play himself. I also like Midfielders who can run with the ball past players which I think Anderson can do.

With the risk of sounding like a middle aged Englishman, a trio of English CM's in Mainoo, Anderson and Wharton to form the core of our CM would be brilliant and also all young lads so great for the future.
