Jimothy Posted 22 November 2009 Posted 22 November 2009 Does Defoes 5 goals equal Andy Coles record of 5 in a game? Nobody has scored more than that in a Prem game have they?
MC Prussian Posted 22 November 2009 Author Posted 22 November 2009 Does Defoes 5 goals equal Andy Coles record of 5 in a game? Nobody has scored more than that in a Prem game have they? Alan "Twat" Shearer, Andy Cole and now Jermaine Defoe are the only players who have ever scored five goals in the Premiership.
Jonezy Posted 22 November 2009 Posted 22 November 2009 I have Defoe in my Fantasy Team! I have Robbie Keane...
Jimothy Posted 22 November 2009 Posted 22 November 2009 Alan "Twat" Shearer, Andy Cole and now Jermaine Defoe are the only players who have ever scored five goals in the Premiership. Did he? When? Can't remember that.
Ford Super Sunday Posted 22 November 2009 Posted 22 November 2009 Did he? When? Can't remember that. Sheff Wed, 8-0 win
Joe. Posted 22 November 2009 Posted 22 November 2009 Incredible scoreline, Wigan are such an odd side.
Guest ttfn Posted 22 November 2009 Posted 22 November 2009 United was 8-1.They beat Ipswich 9-1. They beat Ipswich 9-0
Unit Posted 22 November 2009 Posted 22 November 2009 Wow, looking forward to match of the day. What was the game a few seasons ago, pompey vs reading? like 7-4 or something?
dandannieldanok Posted 22 November 2009 Posted 22 November 2009 Tuncay cannot catch a break at Stoke! Horrible to see a player like him wasting his time at Stoke.
lildave3 Posted 22 November 2009 Posted 22 November 2009 Horrible to see a player like him wasting his time at Stoke. It really, really is. If it carries on like this he won't be for much longer.
Jimothy Posted 22 November 2009 Posted 22 November 2009 Stoke are a good team in what they do, battering teams into submission. I'm not sure Tuncay really fits in with that style. Strange signing if you ask me. Can't really understand Pulis' thinking in buying him. It's fine buying good player but only of they fit in.
maddog Posted 22 November 2009 Posted 22 November 2009 11 players off Foxestalk could have played Spurs today and got a better result than 9-1 Shambolic Wigan! Surely relegation candidates now, Martinez may be out of his depth. They also lost 4-0 to Pompey and Arsenal, 5-1 to Blackpool in the Carling Cup, 5-0 to Man Utd. They've has some good results, but i would be a very worried Wigan fan with those scorelines.
AMYB101_LCFC Posted 22 November 2009 Posted 22 November 2009 Link Was the match on tv? Did anyone watch it if it was? I was at work so was just wondering about it cuz I thought it was a joke when I got told about it! Jermain Defoe scored five second-half goals as Tottenham humiliated Wigan to record their highest top-flight win.Peter Crouch headed Spurs ahead, while Defoe scored from six yards after the break and then from a tight angle. An unmarked Paul Scharner replied but Defoe notched from eight yards and Aaron Lennon scored with a low strike. Defoe scored with two more crisp finishes, while Chris Kirkland scored an unfortunate own goal and Niko Kranjcar smashed home the ninth. It is the first time a team has scored nine in a Premier League fixture since Manchester United thrashed Ipswich 9-0 at Old Trafford in 1995. Redknapp praises 'top-class' Spurs Defoe becomes only the third player to score five in one Premier League match after Alan Shearer and Andy Cole - and his exploits cannot have harmed his England prospects. The first three of Defoe's goals came in a seven-minute burst shortly after the break - the second fastest hat-trick in the history of the Premier League. The quickest remains Robbie Fowler's for Liverpool against Arsenal in 1994. And although Defoe was clinical in front of goal, Lennon was exceptional on the right flank - and he left the field to a deserved standing ovation when he was replaced by David Bentley after 79 minutes. Tottenham, who move level on points with third-placed Arsenal, led 1-0 at the break but the visiting Latics, playing in their awful orange away strip, were simply blown away in the second half. Some of the Wigan defending was atrocious, with players gifting far too much time and space to the opposition in dangerous areas. TOTTENHAM 9-1 WIGAN Biggest winning margin for Spurs in top flight Biggest Tottenham win since Spurs 9-0 Bristol R in 1977 Highest Prem Lge score since Man Utd 9-0 Ipswich in 1995 Defoe first player to score five in Prem since Alan Shearer in 1999 The Latics have now conceded 13 goals in their last two away fixtures - a real concern for boss Roberto Martinez. The result is Wigan's record league defeat - the previous being a 6-1 reverse against Bristol Rovers in 1990. The visiting team were under the cosh from the opening minute, as Lennon burst into the box and sent a low ball across the six-yard box that Crouch stabbed wide. Lennon, restored to the side after an ankle injury, ensured Wigan left-back Erik Edman, a former Tottenham player, endured a particularly torturous afternoon. It was a cross from Lennon that Crouch converted for Tottenham's opener after nine minutes - although the striker should have already opened his account by then having also headed wide from a Wilson Palacios cross. Kirkland saved from Palacios and Lennon, and deflected a Defoe strike on to his crossbar while Tom Huddlestone was inches wide. 606: DEBATE Tottenham should have scored more Mick and Tottenham Hotspur For a while it seemed inevitable Tottenham would add to their lead but as the half wore on Wigan, previously overrun in midfield, began to assert a measure of control. A low strike from Jason Scotland forced a sharp save from Heurelho Gomes, while an ambitious effort from out wide by Charles N'Zogbia glanced against the crossbar. Even so, Spurs almost struck in first-half injury time when a jinking run from Defoe culminated with a strike that Kirkland, who despite the scoreline did make several world-class saves, tipped over. Tottenham's pressure eventually told when a brilliant low cross whipped in from a deep position by Lennon was stabbed home by Defoe after 51 minutes. And from that moment on Wigan crumbled. Three minutes later Defoe sealed victory with a smart low finish after some horrific Wigan defending failed to clear Palacios's optimistic pass from midfield. Scharner gave Wigan the briefest of lifelines when he controlled a cross from the left before smashing the ball beyond Gomes. The Austrian appeared to use his hand to control the ball but any anger Tottenham felt soon abated when they restored their three-goal advantage - Defoe tucking home yet another cross from Lennon. Manner of defeat unacceptable - Martinez It completed the second hat-trick of the season for Defoe after his triple in the 5-1 win at Hull. Kirkland saved a Crouch header - a truly superb reaction stop -but could not stop Lennon scoring his deserved goal after Wigan stood off the winger to make it 5-1. Through balls from Corluka and Kranjcar were both converted by the rampant Defoe, the striker drilling the ball beyond Kirkland with each finish. Defoe has now scored 15 goals this season for Tottenham and England and is the top scorer in the Premier League. Kirkland's misery was almost complete when a Bentley free-kick struck the woodwork and rebounded into the net off the Latics keeper. There was just time for Kranjcar, allowed too much space in the Wigan area, to turn and smash the ball into the top corner deep in injury time.
StanSP Posted 22 November 2009 Posted 22 November 2009 What the fuck happened to Wigan?! Also heard on 5Live that Dave Whelan said Martinez would be with the club for 3 years. Goodbye to Wigan from the top flight and hello to League One maybe!
davieG Posted 22 November 2009 Posted 22 November 2009 It wasn't that long ago they beat Chelsea - a week in football and the Premier League is along time anything can happen and will.
Jimothy Posted 22 November 2009 Posted 22 November 2009 LinkWas the match on tv? Did anyone watch it if it was? I was at work so was just wondering about it cuz I thought it was a joke when I got told about it! Wasn't on TV. Sky chose, in their wisdom. Stoke v Pompey, which turned out to be a barn storming 1-0 win to Stoke.
Asha Posted 22 November 2009 Posted 22 November 2009 Wigan aren't that bad. Just a very poor day at the office in my opinion. As davieG said, not long since they beat Chelsea and they'll definitely get enough points to stay up. Relegation? There's no way Wigan will get less points than Portsmouth, Hull or Bolton.
Tommeh Posted 22 November 2009 Posted 22 November 2009 Wigan are a decent unit and will be fine for me. I just like it how Sky picked two games with 3 goals combined and missed the one with 10 in. Played.
Jordan Posted 22 November 2009 Posted 22 November 2009 I was at work so was just wondering about it cuz I thought it was a joke when I got told about it! I caught a quick glimpse of the score earlier and actually didn't notice that Spurs scored nine ... so I'm a little late on the news. I thought it finished 3-1 . I just saw the actual score now! Wigan aren't that bad. Just a very poor day at the office in my opinion. If my co-workers and I ever had a day like that at the office, I'm sure it'd be the last day at the office for most of us.
