BBC saying Shelvey not Cole… Not sure how correct the BBC are.
That is correct, corrected.
Club’s official site made the error.
Just watched the match – unfortunate result because we really played well today and didn’t deserve to lose but then again, we missed too many chances on goal – mostly by Rodrigues and Torres. But for once, this is a loss that doesn’t look bad. We lost because Spurs took their chances and played better in the 2nd half and we didn’t.
This is the way we should be playing every week and we’ll definitely be up there. Unfortunately we’re already 6 points behind Spurs and I think 7 behind Man City who are in 4th.
