Match Day Thread Tottenham Hotspur v Chelsea

that was my take on it as well but these days who knows .

 

Except when our team's got a skipful of trophies from the Eredivisie to Ligue 1 to La Liga to the Copa Libertadores to a World Cup saying we have a loser's mentality doesn't stack up

The issue is that we're three months into a tenure and yet our manager still doesn't know how to set up parts of our team, notably central midfield and defence, nor has he twigged that we can't soak up pressure for the first 15-20 minutes and hit opponents on the break as our midfield and defence aren't capable of it

Bemoaning injuries doesn't explain why he actively choose to have a gaping hole on the right of our defence most games, or tries to will Eric Dier into being match fit when he's looked off the pace all season, it just makes it more obvious he's hoping Kane or Son bail us out - and that's taking us right back to the Ramos era

 

The reason I give GLC the benefit of the doubt is (1) it looks like he's looking down at the ground just before Asp arrives and (2) his immediate reaction after contact is to put his hand down toward the player. If he had planned to do that it was a hell of a quick reaction. The arm down suggested surprise that Asp dived in there.

 

If Azpilcueta was a split second later he would have put his studs straight into Gio’s ankle

 

Just got back from the cave.

Did we win?

 

Yep...and City have accepted their UEFA punishment

 

i was just commenting on any possible retrospective action but as regards the decision i thought it was a pretty obvious red card tbh .

 

Smashing.

And I assume Salah and Mane have both been ruled out for 6 months?

 

You wouldn't need to hear that as we would be drowning in the ocean of pundit's tears by now.

 

yep but we still won the title by a mile .

 

There was an act of Parliament which has decreed that Liverpool are deducted for everytime Mane called Salah a greedy ****wit...Liverpool were relegated as s result.
Man City were deducted a point for every time Pep said "Incredible" in tv interviews...as s result they are now in League one.
Leicester have been deducted 20 points cos Rodgers is the man that everyone wants to kick in the bollocks.
Chelsea have been deducted 10 points cos they are Chelsea.
So currently we are top of the league...

Planet RCL is rocking tonight

 

What's going to happen to Boris and Trump,RCL?

 

It will all end in a scandal involving waste high waders with the butt cut out, a bucket of soapy water, 2 dozen mackerel, a seal and an old English sheep dog called Otto ...

But you didn't hear that from me

 

Sometimes I worry about you RCL

 

Was you at that party too

What mask were you wearing?

 

It would be much quicker and just as accurate if we replaced var with a magic eight ball.

Yeah, playing Lo Celso in the wing and not through the middle worked out well for us...
