It could be a Good Ebening in Newcastle tonight.
Spurs side are basically built for Conte’s 3-5-2.
So long as he gets them keen, they’ll fly up the league to 5th easy.
I'm a twit
Must be a day of appointments that will end in tears.
I'm not sure how any team with money to burn and trying to wow everyone with scintillating attacking football long term thinks Emery is the way to go. His last foray into English football had Arsenal getting turned over by minnows.
If Emery is their go-to while at the bottom of the league with cuatro puntos, then the whole project is a doomed joke.
The richest club in English (world?) Football getting relegated would be properly lol.
Is there any actual evidence that the Saudis are going to spend loads of money, btw? What if the soft power of just having the club is enough for them?
Villarreal with just two wins from eleven in La Liga.
Them pushing United out of the top four would be well worth it.
If Spurs have a dreadful team and Emery isn't good enough for Newcastle then my opinions on Steve Bruce must have been too kind.
Not really, given they were effectively taken over whenever the January window opens.
I think Emery is a pretty good manager/choice. He's definitely got the pedigree to push them forward.
Five Europa League finals in the last seven years isn't something to be sniffed at. I'd also say Arsenal shit the bed with him too soon given he had them challenging for champions league spot before they combusted.
It seems to me that whoever takes on Newcastle will have their work cut out for them anyway but anyone not connected to that club just seems to want them to fail because they are a little green with envy. Money talks, Newcastle will stay up then spend in the summer and challenge the top 6/7 positions. It's not like they have a great deal in front of them, other than the obvious candidates, they'll outspend Leicester, West Ham, Everton and Brighton so they should ease their way forward, no?
Project Toon will be a success, they don't need league titles, they just need to have some fun again initially. Get the supporters onside, fill the stadium, lay down the ground work for future and the rest should take care of itself. Geordies are passionate, the club is a big one, the area is shit but a bit of spend locally, it'll awaken a sleeping giant, if of course we can consider them such.
They're not green with envy. They're ruled by tyrannical murderers.
Not arsed if they were to be taken over on the last day of the season, it would still be funny.
No one really gives a shit. It's only really news when a takeover like this happens, hell, Qatar wouldn't be happening if people really did care as much as they pretend to.
Not saying it's right nor acceptable, mind.
It's the same shite that had your lot defending a bitey racist. Fans will forgive anything when it's in their own interests.
Of all of our relationships with the Saudis, it's funny that the one that gets the most heat is them buying football clubs. Our establishment must love it.
Alleged racist. ;-)
Exactly this, really. Sell them the weapons to murder and all is fine, sell them a football club, all hell breaks loose.
Why Aye, Unai is a pun that's already been made plenty of places. Honestly, he's got a fine record in cup competitions but I do wonder if he knows what talent to bring in when it comes to week-in-week-out Premier League stuff. If he can get the current squad perked up, that'll be enough for me.
I only just realised there's a Champions League group consisting of Wolfsburg, Salzburg, Sevilla and Lille. Just subconsciously assumed it was a Europa League group even though I knew Lille won the league so that couldn't be the case.
He missed out on the top 4 by taking 4 points from his last 5 matches. He then conspired to get the club anally raped in a european final, quite a stunning failure to fuck up a double bite of the CL qualification cherry. He should have been dismissed immediately afterwards, instead he was allowed to let the club drift into the next season, ending up getting knocked out of the Europa League by fucking Eintracht Frankfurt having spunked over £100m on players in the previous window.
You are correct about having fun again, if you think Emery's teams are fun you've never seen him manage. You can set your watch by his substitutions, always overly conservative and willing to surrender any initiative in favour of bringing on extra defenders on the hour mark.
Swear to god you're subtweeting ole in the above.
This is true, but "people are driven by self-interest" isn't exactly revalatory.
And to be honest if a good chunk of the population of the UK really thought through the arms deal stuff then the idea of buying weapons off one set of brown people to probably use against some other brown people would likely be a positive for them.
Good to see the great man has started throwing them in again.
Pressure is off now that Conte is off the market.
If they never wanted Conte whatsoever then fine, but letting him slip because of one game is up there with the first Moyes season for shit administration.
Only just tuning in, but I assume the turgid shite is back?
That was a lovely goal.
I wish I had that impact on every game I start watching...
At this rate the rapist might get more goals than Naby Keita, get those cute tables back up, spazboy
Can't believe Paul Scholes is showing his face in public.
Spazboy.
You mean you wouldn't shag his daughter?
I really like Atalanta's centre forward, Zapata. He could go to England for big money at some stage. Big West Ham energy about him.
I say that as in the space of 30 seconds he shanks one wide from three yards out, and I discover he's about 8 years older than I imagined.
When was the last time Serie A produced a very good striker?
Immobile?
Before him there was a load of pap like Iaquinta, Gilardino etc and late developers like Luca Toni.
Ciro Immobile's record is good for Lazio. I'm guessing you're after someone that can reproduce the goods on any occasion, though. Ciro's a disaster for country and clubs outside the boot.
Another cracker for VAR here, whatever the outcome.
Osimhen and Lautaro Martinez could be the next ones on that list. You could maybe argue Salah started to properly perform in Serie A before he came back here again.
Are we not going to see an angle that shows whether it's offside?
Whoever the presumably Italian broadcaster is they fucking hate replays.
I'm going to go out on a limb and say Serie A made Jay Bothroyd the man he is today.
Maguire not covering himself in glory lumbering across but Bailly forgetting they are no longer in a 3 and letting him just wander off from him should see him shot.
There we are at least. Real 'Can we please move on to front-on spin vision' vibes.
Vincenzo Iaquinta was a god for me across various FM saves. You wot mate?
What a man
You're going to have OGS in charge forever.
