Taxi for Lennon

To add insult to injury Chris Kane is almost as bad a striker as the wee guy who plays for St Mirren

Can they get a winner to save Neil?

[Viva_Palmeiras]

Walls came tumbling down...

[Northernhibee]

Best manager ever :greengrin:greengrin:greengrin:greengrin:thumbsup: :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

Cheerio Neil.

[Sir David Gray]

Surely Lennon won't survive this?

I think I heard on the radio that if Celtic failed to win today, it would be their longest winless streak at home for over 40 years.

[Sir David Gray]

1-1

[Magpie]

We could genuinely get 2nd

[BILLYHIBS]

Celtic flatter than a witches.....

[Viva_Palmeiras]

At some point Lawell and Desmond will just be looking silly for not making a move.

[cabbageandribs1875]

It is but the money I'd win would be zero consolation for them winning the cup.



of course it would, you would have money to help you through the miserable feeling :agree: it's one reason i've bet so often against hibs, if we win i don't care i've lost cash, if we lose i at least have some cash comfort...it might not make up for losing a game but at least i can buy things to help me through the loss :greengrin

[wookie70]

Celtic getting worse by the week. Good goal but the players have chucked it

[cabbageandribs1875]

1-1 lennon must stay

[Heisenberg]

1-1. Still time left for them to win it.

[Moulin Yarns]

Let's push for 2nd 😁🇳🇬

[Viva_Palmeiras]

Jammy gits

Celtic will win this game now. Guaranteed. St Johnstone should have held the lead longer.

[Magpie]

Wow Heung-Min Son!!!!

Celtic fans scunnered they scored. Says it all

[greenlex]

Rangers won the corresponding fixture 3-0. :dunno:

Even a 1-1 for Celtic is a poor result at home, still enough to get him booted out.

Good news for us. I think it's between us and Saints for 4th.

Wonderful goal by Son

[JohnM1875]

What a goal from Sonaldo! Peach!

[Magpie]

Another Kane assist.

[Sir David Gray]

Even a draw's no good for them. Puts them 13 points behind Rangers and even if they win their 2 games in hand it still puts them 7 points behind with a trip to Ibrox just round the corner.

[J-C]

Either camera angles are weird or there's not a lot of social distancing going on at Spurs.

[wookie70]

Was Griffiths not offside for the equaliser

[Since90+2]

Lennon has really made a complete mess of that job. He's finished as a top level manager.

That could be a vital point for Celtic in their quest for a top 6 finish.

We beat Hamilton on Saturday we go 2nd for at least 24 hours

[Green_one]

So much for those saying Celtic have spare games and will catch up.

Losing more ground each week while Rangers pile in goals. It’s all over bar the moaning unless they get a serious new manager

Happy with St J only picking up a point.

[The Modfather]

Rangers hypothetical collapse at some point looks more and more irrelevant as each week passes. Better enjoy the job Neil “born winner” Lennon is doing while we still can.

Even if there isn’t a candidate ready to take over surely the chance of a caretaker manager bounce is better than what they are getting now.

[Billy Whizz]

Lose at Ibrox on 2nd Jan, and it’s bye bye 10 in a row
It’s just a shame that awful club from Govan will end it though

[Since452]

Lennon's biggest mistake was not signing Kamberi. Nobody else to blame.

[Scorrie]

If only we’d held on against Celtic a few weeks ago. We could have been really on for second place

[Northernhibee]

Lennon has really made a complete mess of that job. He's finished as a top level manager.

When you consider the unbalanced team of overpaid journeymen he left us, he generally leaves a mess behind him.

Whoever takes the Celtic job is on a hiding to nothing if 10IAR is still seen as the goal.

[Sir David Gray]

Celtic basically now need to win just about every game for the rest of the season to come close to challenging for the title.

[The 90+2]

Leagues gone for them. Not a chance they will come back and win it. They may as well just give us Griffiths now too.

[weecounty hibby]

I am seriously getting worried about the cup final. Hearts are utterly gash but celtic seem to be even gasher at the moment. Hope Lennon gets the heave shortly and they get a bounce effect from a new manager

[SChibs]

Is Xhaka the new Graeme Shinnie or Scott brown? Should have been booked in the first minute but wasnt and had 2 more fouls since and nothing.

and hell mend him for giving NL that contract extension...we advised him not to :)

[Booked4Being-Ugly]

Celtc fans will be rioting in the streets of paradise after that result

[The Modfather]

I’ve been critical of Mourinho and thought he was finished at the top level. I still have my doubts and half expect it to implode at some point. However credit where it’s due. The job he’s doing this season, with a decent but not that special, IMO, squad outside of Kane, Son and Reguilion is impressive. They’re more than the sum of their parts.

[Dr What If?]

If only we’d held on against Celtic a few weeks ago. We could have been really on for second place

They way we lost our lead though....the atrocious decision for the penalty, the retaken free kick because they were fouling in our box. At the time I said 'its Celtic, a point gained'.....lets face it, it was two points stolen.

[plhibs]

I thought the same at Chelsea yesterday.

Yes I know, what I mean is they have little room for manoeuvre now though.

Rangers seem unstoppable at the moment so it's probably going to take something like that for them to win the title.

They’ll regret that one for a long time. Apparently they also had the chance to get Ivan Toney from Peterborough in the summer but pissed about. He’s now tearing it up for Brentford and his value has now rocketed. Biscuit tin mentality still exists.

my exact thoughts the moment they offered NL the extension, even though they really stuttered over the finishing line for the cup and league, rodgers team was easy on the eye whilst NL's team, using the same players, were simply NOT easy on the eye

Arsenal are a strange team. They have some real quality, don’t often see them play all that badly and they look well coached/set up. Yet they have an uncanny ability of somehow being less than the sum of their parts. Don’t get me wrong they’re light years away from challenging for the title, but don’t think they should be too far off the top 4 mix if probably still falling short.

It's a good game with two completely different footballing styles. Spurs happy to sit back, work hard and hit really fast on the break. Arsenal actually play some decent stuff but just don't have the cutting edge of Son and Kane

Dreadful form really. A brutal fixture list hasn't helped either but no excuse. They just cant seem to turn possession into goals. Not registering Ozil was madness.

I don’t think Arsenal have been bad at all. If Kane & Son were to swap sides with Aubameysng & Lacazette it would probably be Arsenal winning. Spurs are ruthless and clinical, everything Arsenal are not.

Think Xhaka has some of the same criticisms of Newell. Good when things are going well but less so when they’re not.

No doubt. Kane is better. If I could choice of a career with trophies, or a career at Spurs, I'd chose the trophies.

Maybe. I'd say a style of play that suits a player they sold 2.5 years ago is more of a problem, though. Aubameyang needs to start scoring soon. If he goes 60 more games without a goal, Giroud will actually have a better goalscoring ratio for Arsenal.

I read a quote from Arteta the other day (after the home defeat to Wolves) that Arteta said that Arsenal put in 33 crosses for the first time in the PL last week and then today they put in 44 crosses but only 9 reached a player supposedly.

Will this tactic work in the PL with Aubmeyang and Lacazette? Burnley at home next week who I think are good at managing with that sort of tactic.

Are Arsenal relegation candidates?

Nah, but they are mid table candidates again, which isn't enough for a club that size. I think they will beat Burnley, but I don't think Arteta is their long term solution.

I think Arteta was outsmarted by Mourinho today. Arsenal had 69 per cent possession and made over twice as many passes, but Spurs had their tactics spot on, knowing Arsenal are always vulnerable at the back. It was a clever plan to hit them on the counter.

Well obviously, Kane earns a fortune. Top player. Needs to join a top side soon.

Maybe he thinks Spurs will become a top club and he wants to be part of that?

My son and I were debating how good a player Kane is. His goalscoring record tells its own story, but his lack of medals says something else.

My argument was that great players win things. They play for teams who win things. How many truly great players fail to win trophies?

Spurs suit Kane and England have himas their main man. You wonder how adaptable he is though, could he play in a side that don’t just base their game on him and his style of play?

[Hibernia&Alba]

Maybe he thinks Spurs will become a top club and he wants to be part of that?

As a Man United fan, I think Kane would be perfect for them, but didn't he also grow up a Spurs fan? Not easy to leave the club you love.

I thought he grew up an arsenal fan (definitely played for them when younger), although he will be anything but a Gooner now, really can’t see him leaving Spurs unless it was abroad, building something big there it seems.

Kane is an unbelievable player. The number of assists he has provided for Son this season just underlines his quality.

He’s a Spurs fan living the dream and maybe now going to get that silverware he craves.

Kane's said loads of times he was a boyhood spurs fan who played briefly for arsenal.

I'm sure there was an article shared on here a couple of years ago about how he overcame rejection where he said he was an Arsenal fan as a kid. Then again, when have I ever got something right on these pages? :-)

[Magpie]

I’m sure he’s a Spurs fan, wouldn’t think he’s an Arsenal fan going by how much he enjoys scoring and beating them anyway.

He has got two daughters and his wife is pregnant with a boy on the way, so his family are very much settled in London. He will be earning plenty of money at Spurs and they wouldn’t sell him unless he really wanted to go. He had a fantastic relationship with Pochettino and is now enjoying learning and playing under Mourinho imo. Winning these games against good teams and sitting top of the league will spread that belief and winning mentality right through the team and who else better than Mourinho to be the leader in that? It’s still early days but I do believe Spurs will be up there come the end of the season and will win a cup too.

Played for them, but was never an Arsenal fan ..moved to Spurs as a kid as soon as he got the chance ....

“I wanted to wear a Tottenham kit but I don’t think that would’ve gone down [too] well.

I was eight years-old. I was at Arsenal for a year and obviously I was a kid, I just wanted to play football.

I’ve been at Spurs since I was 11 years-old, always loved the club.

I’ve been here 10 years and hopefully many more years to come.”

I have a nephew who has been with Aston Villa's academy set up and is currently with Oxford Utd. (he's only about 13). There are plenty of photos around of him in different strips, taking part in different events and joining in various celebrations. However, along with his Dad, brother & sister he's 100% Spurs daft and has a ST he uses whenever possible.

I don't think it's that unusual, especially for those good enough to play.

Rangers hypothetical collapse at some point looks more and more irrelevant as each week passes. Better enjoy the job Neil “born winner” Lennon is doing while we still can.

Even if there isn’t a candidate ready to take over surely the chance of a caretaker manager bounce is better than what they are getting now.

The Rangers don’t look like they are a team about to have a down turn in form They are winning and scoring goals and not conceding many They will no doubt drop points at some point But on present form Celtic will drop even more points in December

I was surprised to see that yesterday was the first time Spurs have won back to back games against Arsenal since the 60’s. Spurs are also now unbeaten in their last 7 home PL games against Arsenal. Harry Kane also became the all time goalscorer in NL derbies yesterday. Looking set for a fifth consecutive season finishing above Arsenal too. If they can win a trophy this season I think they will claim their bragging rights.

Arsenal, during their worst period in years, have won 4 FA cups in 6 years. Spurs have won 3 trophies in 30 years. They've a bit to go yet. Making progress for sure. Big loans and a massive stadium to pay back will stall that progress, though.

In 30 more years, you think Spurs fans will be looking back thinking ''man, that time we finished above Arsenal was magic''? Na. Trophies matter more than a few higher finishes.

Don’t think Spurs ever looked like winning the title until Pochettino took over, they came close to a few domestic cups and a Champions League but ultimately failed. As a big fan of Mourinho I think that was a wise move by Levy and one that Arsenal should have took.

They were nailed on to win the title in 2015/16. Leicester won the run in, Tottenham fell apart and Arsenal finished second....
Arsenal have a lot of work to do and look to be years away from where they need to be. Spurs could really just do with winning something.

[MWHIBBIES]

Very close is an exaggeration IMO. Chelsea were top from week 12 and won it with 2 games to spare. Smacked Spurs in the FA Cup semi as well.

I think Arsenal were actually top of the league at Christmas/New Year that season, couldn’t tell you how far they were behind Spurs leading up to the final 5 games or so.

Lost the least amount of league games, scored the most goals and conceded the least amount of goals. I think very close is a fair comment, if they turned 4 of their 8 draws into wins they would have won it but again ultimately failed.

Took a bit of digging, but Leicester were top at Xmas, Arsenal 2nd.
By Easter Arsenal were third and 6 behind points Spurs.

PS
The Magpies, of all people, gave Spurs a real doing in the final game to hand Arsenal 2nd.

Arsenal ended 2015 top of the league and were 3 points behind Spurs with 9 games left to play, that’s what I found anyway.

Yeah I think Moussa Sissoko scored a couple in that game too.

Leicester were top at Xmas, joint top with Arsenal at New Year.
By Easter it was pretty much like I said.

This is how it looked with only 4 games left and 5 for Arsenal in 4th. A pretty drastic turn around to come don’t you think?
