I see Bellingham and Sancho both scored for Dortmund last night.

 

West Ham’s fixtures have given me the date of the first PL sacking.

Moyes will be gone on the first of November after getting 0 points from the first 7 games.

here are their fixtures:

sept 19: Arsenal (A)
Sept 27: Wolves (H)
Oct 03: Leicester (A)
Oct 17: Spurs (A)
Oct 24: Man City (H)
Oct 31: Liverpool (A)

 

West Ham looked absolute abysmal against Newcastle on Saturday night. If they don't buck their ideas up, they're going to get absolutely pulverised for the next 6 weeks.

 

Grealish signed a new deal.

He’s going to be the new Zaha. Linked every window but keeps signing new deals.

 

I don't really understand why you would, unless he really wants to stay there forever of course...

 

You would think there is a release clause in there. If not, well he better hope that Villa's purchases this year are actually good.

 

Just in case anyone thought Frank wasn't going to be under pressure this season, there's this.

Fact is, Chelsea need to deliver, and so do Spurs, Villa and Leeds.

 

Out of the those teams, we're definitely going to be the ones to disappoint lol

 

uh who did spurs buy?

 

It includes the Lo Celso transfer fees.

 

Doherty, Höjbjerg, making Lo Celso permanent.

 

ahhh lo celso. forgot about him.

 

Apparently we want 8.5, not 15, but he has already verbally agreed a new contract apparently so we’re just pricing clubs out of buying him on purpose. Lad is LETHAL.

 

We’re at the transfer window point where Bale back to the Spurs becomes massively talked about lol

 

We made Lo Celso permanent in January though so that chart confuses me. But either way, we spent a shit ton last year. Sessegnon, Ndbombele, Lo Celso, Bergwijn and then the Gedson loan.

Ndombele and Sess absolutely have to prove themselves this year. Sess has a longer leash for me because he is still pretty young and started last year with an injury and then a new manager.

 

Seems to have more legs to it this year but I still won't believe anything until it happens.

 

Also, regarding Jose calling the players lazy...

I finally watched episode 7 of the doc and in this episode he showed the team multiple clips of them conceding goals for being lazy (walking up the pitch, flat footed on a rebound, not communicating with teammates etc). So, it's not like he hasn't been showing the players this stuff and telling them the same thing in the locker room and film room. This attitude and effort is what got Poch sacked. And if they don't change it'll get Jose sacked too.

 

Auba finally signed da ting!

 

I don't think he'd speak on it if he didn't think there was a real chance. Even if Bale isn't an elite player anymore, this type of move could provide a spark in the dressing room.

 

I firmly believe Bale is still elite he just doesn’t gaf about Madrid

 

Yeah, it definitely has more legs to it which is crazy

bring him home I miss him so much

 

Son - Kane - Bale

I like it.

 

Barcelona fans are mental. Imagine thinking Suarez should be forced to sit in the stands because he’s refusing to leave Barcelona without being paid money he’s contractually obligated to receive instead of just swallowing the cost and letting the clubs third highest scorer ever play from the bench. Dude is good for five worldies a season.

 

my god

 

I like it too. Gives us two games where it'll be pretty easy to play out from the back.
