Villa match fred: Danny Blanchflower derby

[Éperons]

How do you pronounce it?

It's close to "Maurice", but they say "lo-REES". The stress is off. The reporter here says it twice, once at 3:24 and once at 3:31:



The first time it's stressed to sound like "Maurice", imo, but that's since he's introducing him. When in regular conversation, it's much more neutral. To my ear, which isn't perfect, the best move in English would be to make it sound like how you all say London's mayor's first name, since, I suspect, in English it's hard not to stress a syllable with the "ee" sound.

This is great:



Now I'm starting to hear it like "Maurice". I need a break from all the hating. Would've been nice to actually get a goal this half.

Whom am I kidding. I can't take a break from the hate.

Someareteeth The score pretty much summarizes it perfectly! Not much to speak of in the way of chances, even-ish match.

I blame the new look forum for the poor first half. Even I know, you never change anything when your on a streak. That's why my underwear smell ... that and my poor personal hygiene.

 

[In the name of Hod]

Wish Defoe just get his head up and look for a pass sometimes. The boy is so greedy.

 

[Someareteeth]

Still love pretty much everything Johnny Vertical does out there.

 

[Someareteeth]

"Tottenham and their French goalkeeper".
What's he trying to imply?

That we have a goalkeeper who is originally from France?

 

[Coalhada]

Yeah, sorry. Should have mentioned the ads are a bit COMPLETELY ANNOYING.

 

[VirginiaSpur]

God I love watching Ade's link-up play.

 

[Someareteeth]

God I love watching Ade's link-up play.

Exactly why I'd much rather have him out there than JD. Ade makes Bale better as well.

Plus, he likes to sit on benches with AVB.

 

[Smoked Salmon]

Ade doing well. You can see how much more he offers.

 

[VirginiaSpur]

Might've been 5-0 in this second half on another day.

 

[vadimivich]

Sandro has been much more adventurous with his long passing today, especially on the cross field balls to reverse field. Done well as well.

If he can do that consistently, it'll be a huge bonus.

 

[Kotten]

Might've been 5-0 in this second half on another day.

Just one of those days, innit?

 

[Éperons]

WHAT'S THIS CLEAN SHEET SHIT?

 

[1882]

Oh, and liking the facelift... I didn't realise you'd had TFC decorators in!

 

[Smoked Salmon]

Had this match on at the same time as Spartak was losing 2-0 to CSKA. Every time I was ready to throw something due to the shit performance by Spartak, I just caught sight of Spurs knocking it around like no care and it calmed me down.

WTF?? Another match????????????????

 

[DeadlyDemon]

Four straight wins. So much for the crisis.

Shame there's now an international break

 

[Éperons]

Only SLIGHTLY worried about our lack of killer instinct.

Relax, Dempsey has had barely a full month to rub off on the squad and turn everyone into cocky jerks.

(Especially difficult since he's impossible to see)
