That's as maybe, but Spurs deserve credit for actually playing him. Mentioned this in another thread, but would we have played him? I really doubt it.
Took both headers really well. A little bit of Tim Cahill about him the way he seems to ghost into the box and rise just at the right moment.
Also likes to leave his foot in like Cahill as well. We could certainly use him in our midfield.
Congrats on the legend as well notts, well deserved.
Cheers Slim.

By all accounts, Del Ali has equalled his scoring record for the whole of last season in the PL, already this season in a lesser number of games i.e 10 goals in 33 appearances in 2015/16 and 10 in 19 games so far..

But if you take out his 6 in 3 matches that's 4 in 16 matches which isnt as impressive

A timely defeat for Chelsea; wonder how it will affect them from now on ??
Mind you, their next League game is away to Leicester so they should only have to turn up to get the three points there.
In the meantime, we're now occupying the Wenger Trophy spot

Thanks SG.
That does put a different complexion on matters.
It'll be interesting to see what his 'tally' is at the end of the season.

Didn't turn out so bad after all. We didn't get full points but taking 12 out of 15, with games against Dippers and Arsenal, and after the Leicester game, I'm happy to be sat on the heels of those just above, and no further away from the Chavs.
And I've not even mentioned the ref's

Only lost two at home all season have Leicester. Also had a couple of clean sheets themselves now Schmeichal has returned. Not as easy as all that I'd wager. We know only too well the pitfalls that a game at Leicester can behold

PS. Anybody notice that Luis had a bandage around his leg which the commentator highlighted was due to an incident in the City game. Gone second half.
Poor lamb.

You should have retorted NB, that it takes one to know one, but then you're too much of a gent for that
