    If they had watched him so far this season they would reconsider a bid like that.

    How utterly amateur is that, even by journo stds.
    The Messi release clause is said to be 250m Euros.

    They should finish 1/2, with the others fighting for 3/4.

    No, having the most points matters, above all else, regardless of how many times you have lost.
    You sound like an Arsenal fan.

    Agree though that beating you will be our hardest challenge yet though, given your solid defense.
    Having 5 teams competing at the top will be awesome, and is why the PL is the best league in the world.

    Don't hold the highest points record
    Don't hold the most goals scored record
    Don't hold the most wins record

    But the Arsenal "invincible's" are the bestest team ever :grin:

  7. Well...duh!

    I know that!

    The point I am (clearly) labouring to make is a very simple one, and ought not to be controversial. I'll try it again...

    In my opinion - please note those words - the pundits are not giving Spurs enough credit for being the only team unbeaten in the league. That shows a high level of consistency - ie. the consistency of not being beaten in the league. In years gone by, the likes of Hansen and Lawro would have waxed lyrical on the topic of how winning the league is all about not getting beaten.

    If you fail to beat us next weekend, none of the teams above us will have been able to beat us, and that must earn us the right to be considered viable title contenders?

    No need for vile insults, Bodi. Call me a ****, if you must, but never liken me to an Arsenal fan.

    At the moment, the reason why spurs aren't challenging is because you guys look absolutely awful up front. I think your team is actually built for the big occasions. Teams you can outpress and be more physical than and hit them on the counter. That's why you haven't lost any of the big games yet. It's the games against the ****ty defend at all cost teams like west brom and boro that you struggle on as you guys aren't very creative.

    Poch doesn't really have proper width (from the full backs) and you play such a narrow game. As shown this season, it's the draws that are costing you, not the losing of games.

    As for chelsea vs spurs, obviously being a chelsea fan i fancy a chelsea win but it's at stamford bridge, you guys are going to be knackered having just played a derby against the spammers, going to monaco for the CL game of your lives and then playing us at the bridge where your record has been bad and we've been awesome.

    I have no doubt though that after last year, you guys will be eager to play us and theres going to be cards galore.

    Oh and your best defender in Alderweireld is out and Rose is out too

    Certainly among the best since Sky invented football in 1992 - which is really what matters at the end of the day

    Guys, try to find a few minutes to remind yourselves of the talent that was matt le tissier.

    Some goals in here, I'd struggle to see literally any other player scoring :

    West Brom have scored after 4 minutes. I wonder how long the ball will be in play for the remainder of the game? 20 minutes, perhaps?

    You're optimistic. I expect Foster to waste the rest of the half on one goalkick, which he'll be warned for.

    West Brom's heat map at 2-0, courtesy of the BBC. One touch in the Burnley box.
    They're efficient, I'll give them that.

    Jurgen Klinsmann sacked as US manager. Bob Bradley's not pulling up any trees at Swansea?

    That's a shame, his Facebook Live chats were quite hypnotic in their oddness.

    Burnley kept 40 attempts out at Old Trafford. They must still be there.
