Did Spurs think that beating Real Madrid meant that they'd won at football, or something. What's this, three defeats and a draw (if it stays this way) in no time at all?

Massively imploding at the moment. Their board is having a meltdown.

A few bemoaning a lack of plan B from Poch :bandit:
 
Newcastle two nil down to wba. They're having a bit of a wobbly too at the moment. Takeover talk effecting perhaps?
 
Newcastle on course for four straight defeats. And still just one win since mid September.

I said just a few days ago that just because they won a few games early on, and they're a bigger name than some other sides, shouldn't mean that they should be discounted from going down. Looking at their squad, I really don't see anything other than a team who should be fighting to avoid 20th. But what they do have is Rafa in the dugout.

If the takeover drags on, and goes through and beyond January, that could actually backfire on Newcastle horribly. Ashley presumably won't spend a penny himself if he's in the process of selling, and they need reinforcements.

Make that on course for five straight defeats. With Chelsea away next.

A blog discussing what West Ham can learn from Saints v Everton. It made me think about the best result for us. Obviously we want both of these inferior teams to draw, but if one has to win....which? I can't dislike Everton much now Koeman has left....wouldn't be fair after their kindness on Sunday. I have a more lingering dislike of West Ham...without quite remembering why.....apart from the fact they were the biggest threat to our automatic promotion....or was it their manager? That was Sam Allardyce, wasn't it? I suspect that Everton may yet sort themselves out if they get organised. So a nice 0-0 draw is best.
I find it tremendously easy to hate a team owned by a couple of grotty bastards who have been gifted a £1bn stadium courtesy of the tax payer.

Yeah I quite like the club but can't stand the ownership. Hopefully they sell up soon as no set of fans deserve that.
 
Utd deserve this. Started treating it like a training ground game. Lukaku and Pogba missing chances, and Jose just letting them continue to play on. No wonder Martial looked displeased when he was subbed off ahead of Lukaku.
 
Be interesting to see how Poch responds now. Arguably the first mini crisis he's had to face in England.
 
We might not be great, but some of these other teams really stink. We can still finish top half.
