[Waffdon]

Four lovely goals from Roma tonight.

[Shindig]

Let's keep this winning run up, please. Party like it's October 2016. Newcastle Eagles are on the BBC website on Friday, as well.

[Reg]

Big weekend for us top two. Hopefully it goes our way but I'd definitely take matching your result, especially since our game in hand is coming Tuesday.

[Baz]

United haven't won at Stoke for four seasons.

[Kikó]

It'll be a tough game. Leslie always makes it difficult for us.

[Reg]

One of the worst goals I've seen us concede at this level.

Knockaert is class. We surely have to go up to keep him.

[Smiffy]

Sheffield Wednesday have lost their heads. Good win for Brighton, that.

[Reg]

Really good game. Only a few pieces of genuine quality but good entertainment. Stockdale was so far off his line for the penalty save, I don't know how linesmen don't spot those.

[niko_cee]

Massive win. The Murray red card was absolutely absurd. He was in the middle of the box and it was going straight at the keeper.

[Raoul Duke]

Why are Liverpool intent on flinging crosses into the box? Do they still think Benteke plays for them?

[Boydy]

There's no other outlet really. They miss Mané so much.

[Gray Fox]

Slowly returning to proper Liverpool now.

[Magic]

:harold:

[Magic]

:harold:!!!

[Max Power]

Excellent goal. Would like to like to lol at Liverpool but just realised we are in a relegation battle and this Swansea win is bad news

[John Arne]

Great goal.

[John Arne]

Sturridge for Can, please. Drop Lallana back. Can isn't dynamic, or good enough, to play that 2nd midfielder role.

[Gray Fox]

Maybe not so slowly then.

At least it's game on now.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

:lol:

[Gray Fox]

Mane is such a big loss. We have no width on the right and Milner will always cut back onto his right.

Moreno could well thrive in a game like this(if he's ever going to).

[SvN]

Why is Llorente getting booed? Haven't really been paying attention other than the goals.

[John Arne]

Oh great, Sturridge has adopted his "I'll stand behind the defenders and hope they miss it", rather than coming short actually challenging for the ball.

[John Arne]

I knew calling him crap last week would spur on the white-teethed chav.

[Raoul Duke]

Swans :cool:

[Boydy]

Why has Matip not been playing today? I thought he'd been cleared to play.

[Jimmy Floyd]

Surely Gylfi has to move to a better club at some stage. Maybe not Tottenham better. But possibly Everton better.

[Lewis]

Fellaini starts, presumably to counter those Rory Delap throws.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Dropping Carrick for bog brush, ugh.

[Boydy]

Why has Matip not been playing today? I thought he'd been cleared to play.

There he is. Bit fucking late and at the wrong end of the pitch. Maybe if he'd started in defence they'd not have got into this mess.

[Sam]

Break out the graphs gents, the bust begins.

[Gray Fox]

He's been out since around November so will probably need some fitness.

Deserved win for Swansea. Bombscare Lovren/Klavan cost us yet more points. Mingolet didn't really have a chance with any of the 3 either.

[Giggles]

That's wrapped it up as a good weekend already.

[niko_cee]

Liverpool's record without Mané must be absolutely tragic.

He's bound to break his leg in the Afcon final.

[Gray Fox]

I know we haven't won without him, but I'm not even sure we pick up many draws.

Emre Can and Wijnaldum as a midfield pair is seriously shown up in these games too. I'd like to say we'd find someone who can pass in the centre, but who am I kidding thinking we're going to sign anyone?

[Lewis]

'SWANSEA IN SHOCK WIN AT LIVERPOOL', reads the BBC headline, as if it was an FA Cup giant-killing.

[Baz]

Proper turd. Was gonna watch United (they're on my betslip) but I'm gonna go for a nap instead.

[Sam]

'SWANSEA IN SHOCK WIN AT LIVERPOOL', reads the BBC headline, as if it was an FA Cup giant-killing.

Wait till next week for that headline.

[Boydy]

I used to like Can but he's been absolute dogshit recently.

[Jimmy Floyd]

Just looked at the table. How the fuck are Burnley in the top half? We can't collectively be letting Sean Dyche do that.

[Lewis]

Ander Herrera bravely gets another player booked. Next United captain.

[Lewis]

Jesse Lingard would have scored that.

[Danny]

This finishing has been criminal

[niko_cee]

Just looked at the table. How the fuck are Burnley in the top half? We can't collectively be letting Sean Dyche do that.

Apparently they are 3rd in the home form/results table. I know Liverpool binned it there (sans Mané) but has anyone else (allegedly) good been there and lost? I know Arsenal robbed them late.

[Jimmy Floyd]

They've beaten Liverpool, Everton, Watford, Palace, Bournemouth, Middlesbrough, Sunderland and Southampton. So not really.

That's all 8 of their wins as well.

[Lewis]

Does Bobby Charlton have to go to every game, no matter how shit and bad for his health, until this record is broken? Poor bastard.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Haven't watched any of it but losing a game in which Fellaini starts shocker.

The sooner he is put down and a replacement for Carrick is found the better.

[Lewis]

He was one of their better players until he went off.

[Lewis]

Randrew's refereeing file is onto a fresh page today. Not that he missed all of the sitters and kept passing it to Antonio Valencia, but still.

[Pleb]

Fergie time :drool:

[Pleb]

Well that escalated quickly :cool:

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

That was fucking special from Rooney.

[Kikó]

Rooney. What a man.

[Giggles]

:cool:

[Lewis]

He was atrocious when he came on as well (like he was last week). :cool:

[Max Power]

Poor Martin Tyler. Gearing up for every Rooney shot like he's gonna break the record and he does it on a Saturday 3pm game with no Sky.

[Jimmy Floyd]

I'm chalking them off the title contenders list now. Just need Arsenal to trip over their own feet in February as per and it should be done and dusted.

[Shindig]

Our match felt like the least likely 4-0 win.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

That Lloris save from Aguero's header was a typical save from a guy I knew when I was younger.

Always dived around the place even when it goes right to him.

[mugbull]

Yee how sophomoric of Lloris

[Waffdon]

Chelsea are pissimg the league. Our game was great fun - couldna see a thing. 6-2 apparently.

Thus could be Rotterdam or anywhere

[SvN]

Fucking hell Lloris, that's fucking abysmal.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Fucking lol at that from Lloris.

[SvN]

Jesus Christ, take him out back and shoot him.

[Jimmy Floyd]

Nobody is going to even have a run at us, are they?

Oh well. Currently witnessing Barnsley absolutely destroy Leeds in the way that fucking annoys you in FM, unstoppable finishes every 5 minutes.

[Raoul Duke]

Alli with a top seethe there. Always looks like he's on the verge of getting sent off when it's not going his way. Otamendi is a massive tool though.

Lloris :henn0rz:

[Danny]

Bit more his way now

[Reg]

Rose is brilliant.

I like that Lloris, the super sweeper keeper, failed to sweep for the first goal and failed to keep for the second.

[phonics]

Spurs with no decent center backs :drool:

[phonics]

822858296046583810

Bloody hell.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Pep seething :harold:

Sterling is wank.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

:lol:

So good.

[Waffdon]

Liverpool lost. Nothing else matters

[phonics]

I'd be seething. Sterling should have just taken a dive. They're so dirty Spurs but because they're not a big team they don't get taken to task for it.

[Magic]

Horrible game this Leeds.

[Waffdon]

Magic pick me up fae the rock x

[mugbull]

I'd be seething. Sterling should have just taken a dive. They're so dirty Spurs but because they're not a big team they don't get taken to task for it.

:D

Keep at it

[Waffdon]

Chelsea eight points clear the morrow. Easiest title winning season ever

[Smiffy]

Gutted we've gone off the boil somewhat but I'd have taken our current position if offered at the beginning of the season. Chelsea will still slip up but I imagine we're all out of it now and even if they win tomorrow I don't think 10 points is that much. I'm certain they'll come unstuck when they face the better teams.

[Max Power]

Pep talking about "Sir Mike Riley" may make me like the bloke.

[Lewis]

I see Steve Bruce is CLEANING HOUSE. :drool:

[Jimmy Floyd]

No one's good enough or mentally strong enough to catch us from this point. If it was Ferguson's United behind, then maybe.

[Giggles]

What sort of an idiot twat is Sterling?

[7om]

Pep's breakdown creeps ever closer. He's cracking.

[Giggles]

And wonderful it is to see too.

[Lewis]

When the inevitable 'TIKI-TAKKING UP' headline forces him into exile I'll do a sponsored walk from the Nou Camp to wherever Abu Dhabi locks its gays away.

[CJay]

How did Walker get away with that push? :cab: So blatant.

[igor_balis]

Schlupp rolling himself back onto the pitch :D

Imagine actually believing that goal shouldn't have been allowed.

[Lewis]

To go back to the stadium shit from the other day, this (https://www.theguardian.com/football/blog/2017/jan/21/chelsea-tottenham-new-stadiums-stamford-bridge-white-hart-lane) otherwise wank article has some lol hints towards the value of new mega-grounds:


The team from White Hart Lane have accumulated a lifetime of memories within those four stands. There is a soul here, created over 100 years, that cannot just be recreated when the keys arrive for the new place. As for the new 61,000-capacity stadium, it is probably a measure of the way football is heading that for a £15,000 joining fee – as long as there are two or more people joining – there will be access to one lounge where, at half-time, you can be ushered into the stadium’s own fromagerie.

Other supporters can watch from just behind the manager’s technical area, at £339 a match. Alternatively, there is the glass-walled Tunnel Club allowing members to get a behind‑the‑scenes view as the players enter or leave the pitch. Spurs will have an in-house bakery, a microbrewery, the longest bar in the country, measuring 86.8 metres, and heated seats, with USB ports, in case anyone wants to get out their laptops. Which wasn’t a regular occurrence, it has to be said, for the old boys on the Shelf.

Hopefully that micro-brewery becomes known as the Eileen Drewery.

[Waffdon]

Gutted we've gone off the boil somewhat but I'd have taken our current position if offered at the beginning of the season. Chelsea will still slip up but I imagine we're all out of it now and even if they win tomorrow I don't think 10 points is that much. I'm certain they'll come unstuck when they face the better teams.
You fucking idiot

[Shindig]

Everything about that stadium sounds like a nightmare. Just give us a concourse with food and drink. A match is not an event. It's a foregone conclusion. All Spurs really needed was a way to get rid of those concrete pillars. Too far, lads. Too far.

[Baz]

How come Pogba and Shaqiri are such good mates?

[Giggles]

I like it.

823135050598256640

[Disco]

Yeah the old one was really holding them back.

[Giggles]

Yeah the old one was really holding them back.

The new one isn't going to exactly do that either.

[Boydy]

It looks like some sort of fascist symbol.

[Disco]

The new one isn't going to exactly do that either.

Of course not, which begs the question why go to the bother in the first place.

[Kikó]

Italy are working hard on closing the marketing gap that the other nations have on them. It seems daft but apparently brand is important.

[Giggles]

Of course not, which begs the question why go to the bother in the first place.

And also begs, why not? It's certainly not the crime against humanity that it's being made out to be.

[SvN]

It's excellent, I think. A pretty brave approach, and one which I think you'll start to see imitated in the years to come.

[Waffdon]

Sevilla never fail to produce goals. Iborra with two and an own goal.

[Spoonsky]

It's shit. It looks like the logo of a Silicon Valley productivity app. The only good logo change in the last ten years has been Liverpool's.

[Kikó]

/somehowaboutLiverpool

[Shindig]

It reminds me of an old Udinese kit.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Wes Morgan has been shit today.

[Magic]

They're coming down as predicted by me. :drool:

[Jimmy Floyd]

I don't know why people are surprised. This is around where Leicester should be with those players. Last season was a ridiculous, Kanté-enabled farce.

[Max Power]

I don't know why people are surprised. This is around where Leicester should be with those players. Last season was a ridiculous, Kanté-enabled farce.
Kante is great but he ain't the difference between runaway champions and relegation.

Hope Ranieri hands in his resignation because I'd hate to see him sacked. But he's done. Absolutely no idea. Bizarre selections, atrocious football. No plan whatsoever and we are going down.

Get the 11/1 while you still can punters.

[Jimmy Floyd]

You're five points above it and will survive very comfortably.

[Max Power]

You're five points above it and will survive very comfortably.
I don't think people are grasping quite how badly we are playing right now. We don't create chances and we ship soft goals to everyone. The team is broken from front to back and Ranieri is fumbling for solutions that make no sense.

Burnley away, Man Utd at home and Swansea away next three. First two are losses and lose the third and they'll be above us.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

This ref really hates Xhaka.

Awful challenge mind.

[phonics]

What a joke. I'm not sure what this ref has against Xhaka. The Swansea red card was a joke too.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Coquelin :harold:

[Giggles]

Fucking lol at that.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Wenger is seething :D

[Giggles]

This is mad. Glad I caught the end of it.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

He was offside.

[niko_cee]

Arsenal are the new masters of the late skanking. Wengertime.

That's twice they've done Burnley through foul means. Hard to feel too sympathetic towards top of the market and co.

[Jimmy Floyd]

I doubt there's ever been a league-leading side as bad at taking set pieces as we are. In fact, other than Drogba's skimmers, I don't think we've ever really replaced Zola in that department.

[Reg]

Kante is great but he ain't the difference between runaway champions and relegation.

Hope Ranieri hands in his resignation because I'd hate to see him sacked. But he's done. Absolutely no idea. Bizarre selections, atrocious football. No plan whatsoever and we are going down.

Get the 11/1 while you still can punters.
Are there things you would have done differently at the start of the season?

[Lewis]

'Look, Jamie, I know you're actually rubbish, but if you can try to have another one-off season again this year...'

[Max Power]

Are there things you would have done differently at the start of the season?

I wouldn't have given every single squad member regardless of age or quality a massive new contract and I'd have signed at least three defenders (2 CB, 1 RB) who can run and pass the ball a bit.

We will never be as attractive as we were in the summer and went half arsed in recruitment until deadline day when we spent £30m on Slimani without really knowing how we were going to play with him.

Those mistakes were made now it's about making the best of what we have and I don't see solutions from Ranieri and I don't see enough from the players.

The fans are starting to turn, get rolled in front of 5,500 travelling fans Friday night at Derby and it will start to get very poisonous I think. Still some time in the window to bring in some defenders and maybe a creative midfielder but I doubt it.

[Baz]

Costa's celebration. :cool:

[Jimmy Floyd]

He'd done fuck all until that point as well.

This Marco Silva is quite a good manager I think, lucky he didn't end up at QPR.

[Kikó]

Benfica have taken the lead.

[Giggles]

So have Bnei Yehuda.

[Kikó]

Is that some Gaelic team?

[Giggles]

Yes.

[Kikó]

https://images.gr-assets.com/hostedimages/1398783255ra/9462918.gif

2-0.

[Jimmy Floyd]

This Neil Swarbrick is the biggest first ruler I've seen all season. Hull should have had a nailed on pen there.

[niko_cee]

Some top officiating there.

[Giggles]

Hull don't look half bad at all in this.

[Adamski]

Benfica have taken the lead.

What's the deal with the eagle again?

[Jimmy Floyd]

We could do with some wholesome Willian goodness here.

[Disco]

Hull don't look half bad at all in this.

I was thinking earlier that for a team in their situation they look a reasonable side.

[Kikó]

What's the deal with the eagle again?

No idea how it started to actually have the eagle swoop down but they are known as the eagles and it's on their crest.

[Jimmy Floyd]

Oumar Niasse tracking his man like a boss there.

[Jimmy Floyd]

If we beat Arsenal next week, it's done.

[phonics]

You play Liverpool next week.

[Gray Fox]

See what Swansea did. Rinse. Repeat. Enjoy your 4-0 win.

[Waffdon]

Chelsea can lose the next two weeks and they'll still piss the league.

They aren't losing to arsenal though.

[John]

You play Liverpool next week.

They play Arsenal and Liverpool in the same week.

[niko_cee]

Chelsea realistically need to lose both of those for anyone else to have a shout, and even then you are banking on the various north london bottlers to not do what they inevitably will.

The real danger is probably one of the Manchesters getting their act together in that scenario, which nobody really wants.

[Smiffy]

Not when you check out Man United's fixtures. I swear they has a tougher run than what is coming up.

Still, plenty of games to go.

[Smiffy]

I personally would be reluctant to write Manchester City off too but that's purely because I'm not convinced it's going to be as easy as everyone seems to be assuming for Chelsea.

[Waffdon]

Jesus.

[Waffdon]

Ryan Mason has fractured his skull and has bleeding on the brain apparently.

[Smiffy]

Stop being a little cretin and make your point, Waffles. Stupid idiot and Jesus doesn't quite cover it.

[John]

Ryan Mason has fractured his skull and has bleeding on the brain apparently.

Fighting for his life, it seems. Fucking hell.

Killing someone might be what it takes to derail Chelsea's title run.

[Giggles]

Fucking hell. It looked bad but you never think it'll be that bad.

[Giggles]

Stable after an op now according to Hull statement.

[Jimmy Floyd]

Eventually, they'll ban heading.

[Shindig]

That might actually be interesting to watch.

[Jimmy Floyd]

The Justice4Jeff crew have been campaigning on it forever. Either they'll ban heading or everyone will end up in Cech-esque get up.

[Davgooner]

Was at the bowl yesterday. Against my better judgement I booked a hospitality package for the family, to celebrate my dad's 60th. It'll take me about a decade to pay the thing off, but have to say that it was fucking top notch from start to finish and was absolutely spot on for the occasion. Sammy Nelson the host in the director's box which fitted perfectly with the era when my old man started following the club.

Some fucking sights in Club Level though. Fuck me. The yuppie in front of me was on gocompare on his tablet for most of the first half.

[Jimmy Floyd]

I heard the new Spurs ground has USB ports in all the seats. Not even joking.

[phonics]

I went to the West Brom match on boxing day and the guy in front streamed most of the first half to Facebook Live (with commentary) and then gave the audience a half time punditry panel with his fucking retard mate and a 7 year old who seemed to know more than him (well he was able to identify Lucas Perez as Spanish rather than French).

[Gray Fox]

I heard the new Spurs ground has USB ports in all the seats. Not even joking.

It's also going to have a one-way glassed players tunnel, where you pay a premium for your seat for the privilege of being one of the lucky ones to see in.

[Jimmy Floyd]

http://news.images.itv.com/image/file/1202626/stream_img.jpg

Look what they're fucking wearing.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

It's also going to have a one-way glassed players tunnel, where you pay a premium for your seat for the privilege of being one of the lucky ones to see in.

https://www.theguardian.com/football/2017/jan/20/tottenham-hotspur-new-stadium-cheese-white-hart-lane

A cheese room too :drool:

[Lewis]

They should put 'Lads, it's Tottenham' above the tunnel.

[Jimmy Floyd]

After football self-combusts, these things are all going to be viewed in the same manner as Peter Ridsdale's fish tank and Darlington's 25,000 seater stadium. Tragic, Ozymandian wastes of life.

Still, if Führer Gove needs a 60,000 seater venue for one of his rallies, the new Chelsea ground will be perfect.

[John]

http://news.images.itv.com/image/file/1202626/stream_img.jpg

Look what they're fucking wearing.

'The Tunnel Club'. :D

[Jimmy Floyd]

There are so many quality details in that picture. Those portraits on the wall.

'Gary Mabbutt is watching you'

Is there a single person in there outside their thirties, or a single man without fashionable stubble?

[Offshore Toon]

That is what Tottenham fans look like, to be fair. Absolute wankers. Worst fans. Who do we have on here that supports Tottenham? They're rather underrepresented, which is a great victory for the board.

[Lewis]

Old Trafford seems to just have a load of suites and boxes, making a mockery of their claims to Big Clubness.

On that, I got a ticket to Hull vs United for eighteen quid off some disgruntled season ticket holder my cousin knows. I might write 'PLEASE BUY GRIEZMANN' on a cereal box like that spaz did in 2004 and see if it gets me on telly.

[Magic]

That is what Tottenham fans look like, to be fair. Absolute wankers. Worst fans. Who do we have on here that supports Tottenham? They're rather underrepresented, which is a great victory for the board.

Ledley was a massive fucking cunt so I agree.

[Lewis]

Ledley had the best TD profile of all time (of all time), so watch it.

[Jimmy Floyd]

The Tottenham fans I know look like people who don't have the money to be Arsenal fans, although based on that stadium picture they'll soon all be supporting Barnet.

[Raoul Duke]

Spurs have to stay decent enough so they can catch the wave of kids growing up post-gentrification of the Tottenham area. Arsenal caught the Islington lot and Tottenham (being slightly further out) have to wait for bankers etc. to make their way up to there. It's happening (2-bed flats for >£400k), so they'll be alright.

[bruhnaldo]

I know a few guys over here who have taken up supporting Tottenham because more or less they're not Man United, Chelsea, or Arsenal.

That's what you get for not picking a football club out of thin air as small children, you hipster cunts.

I had to have a bit of a laugh when Leicester won last year as they REALLY thought their cheeky little "we're not glory hunting plastics we promise!" bit was going to pay off rather quickly but LC never faded away like they'd hoped.

[Baz]

Ledley had the best TD profile of all time (of all time), so watch it.What had he done?

[Lewis]

His interests used to read something like 'Football, mates, driving, girls, five-a-side'. I always thought it was pretty lol.

[niko_cee]

There are so many quality details in that picture. Those portraits on the wall.


They chap walking in stage right is experiencing some sort of existential crisis (as represented via extreme blurring) as he is about to walk into himself having just been quantum leaped into an inexplicable tank of cunts.

[Shindig]

It's so fucking empty.

[niko_cee]

There are 4000 people in the cheese room.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

I've heard that the Halloumi Kane (awful I know) is going down a storm.

[Jimmy Floyd]

Spurs have to stay decent enough so they can catch the wave of kids growing up post-gentrification of the Tottenham area. Arsenal caught the Islington lot and Tottenham (being slightly further out) have to wait for bankers etc. to make their way up to there. It's happening (2-bed flats for >£400k), so they'll be alright.

Logically, the Manchester clubs and certainly the Liverpool pair should fade away over time and the London sides utterly dominate.

[Lewis]

Maybe that's what the high speed railway is all about.

[Kikó]

Jimmy's completely forgot about the northern powerhouse.

[Raoul Duke]

Jimmy's completely forgot about the northern powerhouse.

Watford?

[Jimmy Floyd]

I suppose Northern Powerhouse Rovers may be able to hold down a top flight place if George Osborne ploughs enough of his own money in.

[Shindig]

Jimmy's completely forgot about the northern powerhouse.

Sorry, lads. We're a Championship club now.

[Giggles]

Powerhouse, not shitehouse.

[Kikó]

:D That shouldn't even be funny.

[Magic]

Most under-rated.

[phonics]

Wenger was asked what he thought about Southamptons game against Leicester. Being the legend that he is he went on to talk about how he had to find a dodgy stream to watch it on as he doesn't pay for BT :D

[Max Power]

Revista de la Liga isn't quite the show it was is it?

Flicked on to see Guillem Balague perched awkwardly in the lobby of the Sky offices showing us the front page of Marca on his iPad :D
