    I don’t disagree tbh. Thank **** we don’t hear the dreadful expression “tika-taka” anymore.

    We have the 2014 WC to thank for that, and for bringing aggressive, high risk attacking football back into fashion.

    Mendy another one...he went on a crazy stockpiling fullbacks mission a few years ago, 50 mill a pop then dumped most of them on loan to other clubs.

    This is undoubtedly true.

    It’s also true that we’ll never get to see how Pep performs with a threadbare squad and tight-as-**** owners, so it’s impossible to definitively assert that he’s a better manager than Sean Dyche.

    He takes the best players from other teams and improves them by putting them in a side surrounded by other top class players...

    Amazing how he does what he does tbh.

    Yeah, it’s not all about the money. But I’d love to see what Ralph Hasenhuttl could achieve with owners who back him in the transfer market. Though that’s unlikely to happen with us, so i should really be careful what I wish for there.

    With a bit of money I reckon your gaffer could have stopped the rout at 7-0 on both occasions tbh

    True though they were starting from a worse point quality wise. Don't think anyone is saying he's no better than Ole either lol.

    If you take over the best squad in the league, and then spend half a billion on it, I'd say 3/5 titles is about the minimum expectation tbh.

    Any manager who wins the league with Stones in defence is a genius.

    Spurs and Leicester haven't got any real opposition tonight. Arsenal have got a tricky fixture and I think Man Utd might struggle...

    United don’t deserve a 2nd chance after failing in the CL

    Goonz will get trashed

    The missus asked me last night if I could give her a Liverpool performance in bed. I said what’s that? She said ‘you stay on top a long time and come second’.

    Slavia are no mugs and we will have a very scratch 11... biggest worry is more injuries tbh ... Brenda not gonna risk Ricardo so that's him, Castagne, Fofana and James Justin out for the defence and Perez and Praet in the midfield ... draw would do for me tbf <cheers>

    As opposed to the Chelsea performance, where you pass out on top, then kick her out of bed?

    Or as opposed to the Spurs performance where you get her all excited and then go floppy just as you're about to slot it home.
