Once again liked what Jose had to say afterwards. I get the sense he really wants to erase the whole “weak mentality” label that Spurs get. Which I’m obviously on board with. But I’d like to see better play as well. Maybe the former will lead to the latter.

 

R/Gunners take on the "fight" lol.

 

Does every set of fans have this fucking argument every two weeks?

 

No idea, I just know it's a legendary twitter argument between Arsenal fans aha.

 

Gas. I see it on Redcafe all the time.
“He’s 30 next summer”

“so he’s 28 now...”

and so on.

 

Ahhhhh. Well this is part of the argument (that has since been deleted)

 

Would Leeds, West Brom, and Milwall be the worst promotion trio ever?

It looks like Milwall will probably miss the playoff now but that are still in contention.

 

Millwall going up would be terrible. Last thing the league needs is another shite London team to come up and refuse to go down every year. We're so close to getting rid of West Ham. It would be a shame to replace them with Millwall.

The league needs more diversity. Get some more Northern teams up there. In the absence of that, Notts Forest or Derby would be good. Forest in particular. It's always nice to see teams that haven't been in the league for a while make it.

 

Another miss for Nike

 

Not good

 

I want Brentford to go up.

 

"It is unclear which players Barcelona would be willing to part with in part-exchange but full-back Nelson Semedo, Ivan Rakitic, Samuel Umtiti and Philippe Coutinho are among those free to leave the Nou Camp this summer."

I'm still not sue exactly what's going on with Ndombele but there's now enough smoke that something is wrong. If he isn't going to work out here then a swap deal like this would be my preferred option. Semedo and Umtiti would fill needs so one of them would be welcome. Or both for Ndombele + cash.

I think we could see an increase in players swaps considering the financial states of most clubs.

 

Ya, I want to see how far they can go with their recruitment model.

 

what is unique about their business model?

 

In short, they sign players based on data driven smart odds. It's not that unique anymore but it was back when they first started doing it. Their owner Mathew Bentham owns a club in Denmark and they've won trophies under his ownership, I think. Brentford in the Premier League would be interesting to see just for their recruitment in my opinion.

 

I hate that Pulisic plays for Chelsea

 

I hate Crystal Palace. A colossally boring team.

 

What does the USMNT look like right now? There seems to be a handful of really promising Americans playing in Europe right now.

Pulisic, Reyna, McKennie, Dest, Adams are guys I’ve noticed playing well.

 

Boy oh boy Willian wants to impress someone.

 

Jose is calling

 

Im liking the Chelsea away kit. might get Captain America on the back

 

Welbeck doing Welbeck things.

 

Oh Palace so fucking close twice!

 

Chelsea spending a couple hundred million on new attackers with that defense.

 

Chelsea don't manage leads well at all.
