    Nothing needs to be excused. CL is not in your hands regardless of Thursday. Liverpool nicely saw to that. Pressure relived so some extent so hopefully we might play with a bit more freedom, but I doubt it. We don't deal well with counter-attacks.

    Reads like something I'd expect Sol Campbell,
    not Rio, to say about a day out to Brighton ...

    I didn't say that I hate all of those teams, just that they've all had dodgy **** going on.

    The three London clubs are just natural and the feeling's mutual, of course.
    Man Utd and Liverpool are a given for most fans of Premier League teams, including each other.
    The others I don't really care about at all.
    A lot of the owners shouldn't be allowed anywhere near a football club, but that's on the league.

    Sometimes I even hate Spurs.

    My hate is strictly reserved for the team Spurs are playing because they are clearly all divers and time wasting cheats. Once the game has finished I transfer my hate to the next bunch of wasters that we meet. Other than that I do Hate City ALL THE TIME but I hate Chelsea a little less now that Abramovich has gone. I will soon hate Newcastle as they buy their way up the league.

    I should have just stuck to following Dulwich Hamlet, then I would only hate Kingstonians and Wycombe Wanderers.

    Fake as **** picture, of course, but it seems like the story is true.
    I expect them to sign an expensive left-back as well, plus one or two others.
    Will Guardiola still manage to **** up the Champions League?

    On the plus side, it's added about a 15-20% chance of Kane staying.

    And yet they're the club that receives the most hateful chanting. Go figure.

    Palace hate them, too. Sort of.
    Got to be one of the most weird and contrived rivalries in the game.

    Modern football stinks to be honest.

    I’m slowly but surely losing interest. These days I don’t even mind if I don’t watch games and sometimes don’t even check the score until the final whistle. This season I could count the amount of times I’ve watched motd on one hand. I’m quite happy to just watch 2-3 min highlights of the Spurs games and not even bother with other teams.

    Klopp talks out of his arse after the game because he thinks he’s some kind of football God then decides to apologise once he’s made his point

    now he respects Conte so much and he shouldn’t have said what he said because it made him look a **** and he wants to be loved but really he meant it so to get the best of both worlds he’s decided to apologise for being wrong

    fack awf

    He should be praising Spurs to the heavens, as we're the only reason they're still in the race.
    Reverse our results against City and Liverpool and the title's done.
    Even just changing the two wins to draws virtually kills it.

    Will any of the pundits have the guts to say he failed if he doesn't (again)?

    Having pondered the game, tis obvious he was fearful of
    getting turned over exactly as Citeh were this season,
    and their players in the last 15 nins thought a draw was
    less risky then going all in for a win.

    Sorry. My second fav team became Brighton when Mullers took over. Anyway,if I hadn't met my wife on that Russian plane when they put the Brits in with the Yanks,I would have been living in Sussex today (if I was alive!!!!?). She still blamed the Russians for that one!!!!

    If he leaves City without winning the CL at least once then he’s definitely failed there. Dress it up how you want but he was brought in to win them the big one.

    The handball that wasn't in the CL final.

    The year Spurs missed the CL by a point or two and weren't awarded a single pen.

    Not getting AVB's key player (Moutinho) by a few minutes, then missing out on the CL by a couple of points the next year...though that was the same year, I think.

    Harry for England

    Harry not playing for a win when it meant controlling Spurs' CL qualification fate.

    Pochettino destroying Spurs' prospects by bringing Kane back too early from injury...three different times in the same year.

    Moving out of WHL just when it became a fortress.

    ...though I guess it depends on what you mean by akin. All the above are what I would call Spursy, which to me means having a tendency to suffer from events that don't involve players playing...though I've limited my list to the events which wrecked seasons, and haven't included things like the goal farthest in that wasn't given, and the goal farthest out that was.
