Match Day Thread Tottenham Hotspur v Preston North End

A Harold that actually knew how to position a (shield) wall.
Well, until some morons in his team decided not to stay in it ...

 

Wow! Analysis of how the Battle of Hastings went. The things you get on these discussions... brilliant! What I find particularly interesting about the battle is that they are still not completely sure where it was actually fought!

 

I haven't looked into it, but maybe Hastings?

 

VAR have reviewed the incident and reached their conclusion:

PENALTY TO UNITED

 

And also no red card for Liverpool.

 

Battle (near Hastings) would be my guess

 

You wouldn't have a battle at a place named Battle though, would you?

 

Norman passmap will be posted soon...

 

Stamford Bridge OTOH ...

 

I thought I was writing about why (king Harold) Kane always fails at direct free kicks.

 

Who isn't sure? The Tories? I know exactly where it was fought, what isn't so certain is that Harry got one in the eye. What is also certain is that some people who gained land at that time are still there in their castles and mansions.
Still calling people Harry as we know very well.

 

Hate to mention the Chavs, but didn't Stamford Bridge feature?

 

Harold beat Harald there before losing to William in his next match at Hastings

 

Fixture congestion was nuts that season...

 

We've been drawn away again, to one of Wrexham or Sheff Utd.

Tricky tie but both very much beatable opponents.

The only potential all-PL ties are United v West Ham or Fulham v Leeds, depending on outcomes in prior games.

 

And you can currently watch Harald on Netflix with Vikings: Valhalla, the spin-off to Vikings.

Harold - and William - will be seen in later seasons.

 

Amazing to think that the armies of both sides would easily fit into our South Stand....

 

That's just what they wanted you to think....

Then, for a long time they decided it was actually at Battle.

But when they looked for stuff that would indicate the battle was there, they found nothing. As Vizzini might say*, it's inconceivable that you can have a battle that leaves no trace. Unless you're looking in the wrong place of course.

* apologies if you don't know who Vizzini is

 

Wot? The Manchester teams not drawn against each other?

No it isn't fixed, but (I think I've said this before) if you ask someone like Darren Brown could you fix the draw, he'd probably come up with a way of doing it.

Now. More about the Battle in the vague area of Hastings....

 

Levy would love that , just think of the money made in the bar and club shop
