Happy with that! Spurs have not lost to any of the 'top four' all season, which is pretty impressive really.

Spurs had a lot of good opportunities, especially in the first half and although UTD had a lot of second half possession, they didn't really look like scoring from open play. I said before the game that getting anything out of it would be a result, and I am more than happy with a point. COYS!

I don't think it was handball either, definitely his shoulder. I think Chelsea had a better shout for a pen from the tackle on lampard in the last few mins, he might have gone down pretty easily but there was more intention in the challenge.

I really wish Carlton Cole was a better striker because he could of won the game for us.

That golden chance at the end was really set up to be a dream moment.

Zola's return to the Bridge, and Cole's chance to score the winning goal at the death against the club who trained him as a boy.

He should of buried it, but instead just hit a tame shot at the keeper.

looks like rafa was right that the only way we are going to finish up top is if the other four stumble... thank god they are.

It is a strange league this year. The Premier League is beginning to become more and more unpredicable; teams outside the top four are playing very well this season and obviously the surprise package is Hull.

Liverpool are badly missing Fernando Torres.

yeah they need him badly, but the last game you can't put on his absence. Carragher didn't help, and the first half play was awful. Thank god the hero known as gerrard stepped up and showed why once again he is the skipper.

I honestly think that if we had Fernando against Hull on Sat he would have bagged a few goals. We are missing his clinical finishing and his style of play suits us down to the ground. He plays off the shoulder of the last defender, and his pace, strength and general awesomeness makes him such a danger when you have Gerrard and Alonso pinging balls through to you.

And the league's all the more better for it. Reminds me of La Liga during Capello's Real tenure. The league's (outside the top 4) become more fun. :D

Honestly, I think if Liverpool can keep at the top of the table, they'll probably win the league(unfortunately). Looks like Rafa's finally ditched his rotation policy. Twice now, they've slipped up and the rest of the big 4 kindly obliged them by dropping points themselves.

Chelsea are horrible at home, United can't put the ball in the back of the net, and Arsenal, well it's the same old story with them...

Looking forward to seeing how far Villa progress this season.

Horrible at home? We had a 4 year win streak up until this season... Correct me if I am wrong :p

Well Lady Nina Bracewell-Smith has stepped down from the board.

Which means if she sells her shares, Alisher Usmanov will I have no doubt buy them and you will see the return hopefully

of David Dein.

However I don't want to go down the same roads as Man City, Man U, Liverpool and Chelsea.

We work hard to balance the books and then having players demanding huge wages could cause a lot of problems.

    • Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original

      Most boring game ever. Repetitive, empty, predictable, and full of cliches. Total waste of time and money, IMO.

      Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe During Summer Game Fest, 2K and Hanger 13 brought out a new Mafia: The Old Country trailer, revealing the game's first expansion. Named Man of Honor, this is slated to add two new chapters to the Enzo storyline that the game follows. There is an iconic character returning to the series with this expansion, with players set to run into Ennio Salieri, the future Don of the Salieri crime family. Fans of the original Mafia, or its Definitive Edition remake, may remember that name as one of the biggest characters in the storyline. This expansion is set prior to his rise to being the kingpin in the City of Lost Heaven. "Set in Sicily during the winter of 1905, Enzo Favara has proven himself a reliable soldier of the Torrisi crime family in the months since his initiation," says the studio about the new chapters. "Now, the Don entrusts him and Cesare with a delicate assignment of assisting Ennio Salieri, a man of honor recently released from prison and intent on reclaiming what is his." Working at Salieri's side, players will be heading into fresh environments as they return to the role of Enzo as a high-ranking soldato. The studio also promises brand-new weapons, fresh vehicles, and charms to collect in this expansion. Moreover, the expansion will add new content to the updated Free Ride mode. Alongside new collectibles and locations, this will add more challenges to beat alongside Salieri, which are described as runs that will "test the skills of even the most elite mafiosi." The Mafia: The Old Country Man of Honor story expansion will release on August 14, 2026, across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. It will cost $10 for owners of the base game to jump into.

    • Telltale returns with The Wolf Among Us, re-revealing the sequel and a new remaster

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Telltale returns with The Wolf Among Us, re-revealing the sequel and a new remaster by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Telltale Games, the studio known for its episodic games from the 2000s, had a surprise appearance at the Summer Game Fest showcase today. The studio has gone through a collapse, an acquisition, and a revival but has largely gone silent in recent years. Today's sudden announcement was for the popular The Wolf Among Us series, with news about the sequel and a remaster dropping. Set after the events of the 2013-released title, the sequel will bring back Biby Wolf for a new adventure in Fabletown. This town of fairy tale characters is becoming unstable, with Snow White not being able to keep order as before. "When a brutal series of crimes threatens to fracture the fragile balance holding Fabletown together, Bigby Wolf, sheriff of Fabletown, finds himself drawn into a dangerous conspiracy that reaches deep into the city’s criminal underworld," says the studio. "As suspicion spreads across the city and powerful forces work against him, Bigby must uncover the truth and decide what kind of sheriff - and what kind of wolf - he is willing to become." At the same time, Telltale also announced The Wolf Among Us Remastered, bringing back the classic with a fresh coat of paint. This will include all five episodes from the original game plus over an hour of extra content that will offer behind-the-scenes videos, cast interviews, image galleries, and deleted scenes. The remaster will also have updated visuals and improved UI elements and accessibility features, alongside upgrades to the animations, audio, and frame rates. Telltale has been working on this project for almost a decade now, but if the new release schedule holds, fans will be able to jump into The Wolf Among Us 2 sometime in 2027. As for The Wolf Among Us Remastered, this is slated to release during this holiday season.
