    Ex-Manager watch: Antonio Conte

    I honestly can't believe what I'm reading here after last night. Whatever problems we have here, Conte IS the solution. And in terms of our problems they are simply that we can struggle to break down teams who play a low block. We can beat teams who attack - with panache. But the teams who are...

    Ex-Manager watch: Antonio Conte

    I'm finding it hugely entertaining and any player here worth his salt should be thinking: "shape up or I'm being shipped out"

    Just heard him:: not the best way to do it but it's a message to the players.

    Ex-Manager watch: Antonio Conte

    I hear you but I disagree. Inter were in the same boat as us. An ok team but not challenging. Our budget is bigger than Inter. And bar one marquee signing (Lukaku) the rest were signings in our budget. He can change us, if we want him too. Also, inter still doing well after he left. He...

    Ex-Manager watch: Antonio Conte

    Conte is a winner. He doesn't like losing. Hopefully that attitude gets into the players heads. The ones here and the ones yet to come. Love this man. Well said sir. Well said indeed. Edit: because it is not right, even for these players, to lose 4 out of 5 and think everything can go on as...

    Ex-Manager watch: Antonio Conte

    Exactly this. In fact. This was a message to the players. "I like what you do in training but you have to do it on the pitch. Time to be brave on match day. Or what is the point in me being here."

    Match Threads Burnley vs Spurs - Match Thread - Round 6

    Burnley are peak Pulis at Stoke, peak Allardyce at Bolton, peak crazy gang Wimbledon. Was never going to be pretty but we are in the game to win. Don't care how. COYS!

    Team v LASK

    Next game is on Monday, plenty of recovery time for anyone who plays. Would rather see a strong team out so we can get more used to playing together and work on team shape in this match. Only player I want to see on the bench is Kane but only so we can give vini a run out and get him integrated...

    Player Watch - Tanguy Ndombele

    All legends and one of a kind. Let's hope Ndombele finds his path to that stature of player. He's got some unique skills, that's for sure. Curious though, why you left out one of our other legendary midfielders, a player who was so good he even won euro 96. Our very own European legend -...

    Game for game comparison 20/21

    It's City who we need to beat. Clear favourites to my eyes. Diaz solves a problem for them that Liverpool now have with losing VVD. 85 points will get the league this year. I also offer a lottery number picking service if interested ?

    Player Watch: Gareth Bale - Retires

    Agree totally - albeit we always seem to be 5 points off - Wasn't that the gap we had to make up on Leicester? And in champions League places last season after the re start. 5 points. I hate 5 points. ?

    The Race for the Title, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th or even 6th Thread.

    I'm weirdly optimistic after yesterday's match. It's clear we have an issue with set pieces but that is easy to train out. We've sorted attacking play and defensive play from non-free kick situations. The last two pieces of the puzzle are getting set pieces sorted (relatively easy with our...

    Getting a disagree rating by asking a rhetorical question, that's what I love about SC. We disagree with everything ?? Edit: I knew i could rely on you ES ?

    Match Threads Spurs vs West Ham - Match Thread

    Tricky game. Real test for us. More so than United. Today we get a real indication of what our squad can do this season. West Ham are in good form, confident and scoring, unlike United were. Will likely be tight all game. Need our leaders to set the tone today....I'm running out of clichés...

    Player Watch: Gareth Bale - Retires

    His first goal celebration would be nuts - a klinsmannesk moment...pulling a 9 iron out and taking a swing.
