    Arsenal

    Hmmm not sure tbh. Nketieh they gave a 100k a week contract to a year ago. Think he's going to be very hard to offload. I also remember seeing that all the money they'd already spent was basically a hail Mary to get ucl and so that money had already been factored in. There was an article in...

    Match Threads Aston Villa Vs Tottenham

    Didn't realise how average villas recent form has been, theure really struggling to score too. Feel like we might get a W here. Imagine it'll be quite stodgy with a kane out of nothing goal, then son on the break in the 2nd half. 2-0 us

    Tottenham Takeover Talk

    I'm referring to the Utd Qatari bidders which was a different Qatari group.

    Tottenham Takeover Talk

    This Qatari bid in question seems to have been basically full of nonsense. Seems like they hired a PR company to just out out a load of stories to about how much money they have, yet their offer values the club lower than Ratcliffes. As an aside I hope not. I got a bit swept up when the links...

    UEFA Champions League 2022-23

    Exactly right. PL has a really oddly high threshold for overturning. It's far lower everywhere else. That's why all the Bt sport pundits going on about it just makes them look a bit myopic as if any of them had done a bit of research or a wider view they'd know this. The whole clear and...

    The Race for 4th

    Completely. Part of being a good manager is surely working with what you've got. Not just implementing your set formation and when it doesn't work just blaming the players. The weird thing was he actually kind of did that in his first season. He sort of did kane+Son Jose ball with added...

    The Race for 4th

    Ironically lots of utd fans are now getting really annoyed at ETH and saying he's too stubborn and is costing them top 4 with his weird selections. Football is so reactionary, if Utd finish 5th even with a league cup the fans will turn on him. Espescially as he forced through Antony for 90m...

    Player Watch Player Watch: Giovani Lo Celso

    Well Emery wants him because he had him at Villareal and was their best player as they put out favourites Bayern and got to the UCL semi final! So a but harsh to say that that shows he's average. He was really good for us under Jose. There's an article here with Jose talking him alot and saying...

    Player Watch Player Watch: Giovani Lo Celso

    He was great though under Jose when he was playing out of position as a press resistant midfielder who would carry the ball up from deep. If we can keep him fit and give him a manager who actually plays him in his position I think he's worth having a look at for 1 more season. We won't get...

    Premier League 2022/23

    Yeah I believe covid hit them pretty hard, they made losses 3 years in a row and this year was their record loss. I think they also did that thing where they git caught in between bussiness models. Previously they had sold one big asset each year (Kante, Maguire, Chilwell) but then they decided...

    Premier League 2022/23

    Leicester are also in cease to exist territory. Owner cant/won't put any money in and they will asset strip in the championship. Always used to make me laugh when people pointed to leicester as a well run club. Their wage bill was massive compared to their revenue.

    The Race for 4th

    It's a balance i guess. The season West ham finished 7th they were in the semis of the europa I think? The good thing with the europa/conference at least is you really can rotate a lot for the group stages and then see they lay of the land in March when the knockouts start. This season is...

    He's a different kind of player to bentancur. Bentancur isn't actually that progressive. He's a decent ball carrier and good at keeping the ball moving but I think of you look at the stats he's actually less progressive than Hojberg

    Player Watch Player Watch: Giovani Lo Celso

    This is GLC stats this season on loan! Look at those progressive passes. If we could keep him fit he's exactly the sort of player that our squad is crying our for. That's not to say you don't go for Maddison as well. However I'd much rather give him a run under an actualy forward thinking...

    The Race for 4th

    I'd much rather get Conference than nothing. We've got a massive squad and I honestly don't know what the likes of Skipp Sarr Spence udogie and whoever else of the loan army we keep are going to do of we have one game a week. Even throw in the likes of Richi/kulu or Bissouma, where are they...
