Still paying for Joey Barton then.

Chelsea v Spurs is a decent watch, end to end but no goals yet. They look like 2 sides who know they're not going to win anything just going out to play football. The pace they play at and the skill levels on show are miles from anything we see at our level.

They’re bloody messing around with our match day routine this season. He’ll have to be a magician to make it work. I just can’t imagine anyone going in on non match days. Sincerely hope I’m wrong, and he does know the area.

i like it but too expensive for me, wish they would learn with that recent sale about how much cheaper merchandise would fly off the shelves.

All the retro stuff sells out quickly doesn't it ?

The disdain for ‘modern football jargon’ by some just seems a bit sad. Peak Boomerism.

Ironically, most of these phrases have existed for decades in other countries and have been translated into English from Italian, Spanish, German, Portuguese etc. For example, mezzala has been used since before WWII in Italian football to describe a central midfielder that drifts wide, hence the translation ‘half-winger’. De Bruyne is the most notable example in the current era. Double pivot comes from German Doppelsechs (double-six).

Considering there are few decent English managers at the highest level and Germany, Italy, Spain, Argentina and Brazil have all been more successful in international tournaments and produce more world class managers than us, I’d say those countries have a far superior understanding of tactics than English managers. Maybe English football fans, pundits and managers should consider that.

 

That's what puts me off, the price.
