It sucks because we're in form but I fully understand why the decision has been made.

 

Ngl if teams keep shitting the bed like they have lately (looking at Leicester today for instance), we might still be able to qualify for Europe lol.

 

Yeah but it's a way of laughing at Spurs; an opportunity which should never be passed up.

 

“I’ve got bad news, and some good news...”

 

I think we were all laughing at the possible relegation of the wrong London-based club, Chelsea are atrocious

 

Are there any good teams in London?

 

Yeah, Brentford!

 

Pulisic, in particular, stunk the place out tonight.

 

Chelsea would be fantastic if they had a more tactically aware manager and spent the money on a good defender to partner Silva instead of Havertz.

Havertz is a great player but they don’t need him and it was a lot of money for someone so young.

 

I think Spurs need to heavily invest in a top CB. I like the depth we have at most positions, obviously some upgrades would be nice but we have talent. A top CB is a big missing piece though. Toby is aging, Dier and Sanchez are inconsistent.

 

CB seems to be a monstrous problem for a ton of top teams, and the best options out there have the price tag to back it up because there really aren’t that many elite up and coming CBs out there.

 

CFC defence is absolutely fine imo, when fully fit the goalkeeper + back 4 + Kante at DM can compete with the best of them. It's the attack that's been the problem over Nov/Dec, lethargic and predictable.

 

Ex Chelsea, over 30.

Welcome to Arsenal, Diego Costa.

 

There have been too many Costa to Spurs rumors for my liking

 

If Giroud was to leave Chelsea in January, it makes a bit of sense for Costa to return to Stamford Bridge tbf.

 

Wednesday have sacked Pulis after 1 win from his first 10 games.

From murmurings in the press it seems that there’s been a disagreement over a transfer budget for January. Pulis was expected to walk last week. After the last two matches he’s been telling the local press he wants to speak to the chairman. Seems the chat didn’t go that well.

 

FIFA would have you believe Davison is the best and most in demand CB in the world

 

My dream is for Kounde to come partner Lenglet.

 

You are, and I don't say this lightly, totally fucked.

 

You don’t know the half of it. All players were only paid a maximum of £7000 in November, despite some being on around 27k a week. Fans are still waiting for refunds on season tickets. No plan for the transfer window. Squad are shit. Really we need the chairman to sell up. He refuses to take advice from anyone outside of his circle and they’re are all clearly out of his depth. Not sure who would take the club on considering the state we are in though.

As an aside we play Middlesbrough tonight and fuck Neil Warnock. Really hope we smash them.

 

I don't know why but I've always wanted you guys to do well. Think cause you have a unique name and Sheffield United have always annoyed the fuck out of me since they were last in the PL and tried to break our players ankles every match. Hope you manage to somehow get this sorted. Might be one of them cases where you have to go down in order to get sold and reinvigorated.

 

Lmao at that West Brom own goal. Holy shit.

 

Leeds tearing West Brom apart here. Their games vs. bottom 10 teams are must watch.
