Are the French insisting on IA now?
There was an Athletic podcast yesterday asking 'were Spurs the real winners?' after that Chelsea game it seems to have been completely lost that anyone with a vaguely competent attack hits them for as many as they want after they go down to 9 mine playing the way they were playing. It was basically only because Chelsea's heads had obviously gone as well and they have no decent attackers that they were still in the game at the end.
I've felt like Frank Grimes watching the reaction to all this. Maddening. Just trying to imagine if Arteta had 2 players sent off twice and then played that suicidally high line.
He's a dislikeable cunt though.
Spurs have always had a heavy, and largely frustrated, media following so it's hardly surprising that this narrative has been seized upon.
I've checked with the FA and now had it confirmed to me that Spurs were not, in fact, the real winners.
The Saudi manager merry-go-round begins. Nuno the first casualty. Getting turned over 2-0 by the Iraqi Air Force was the final straw for the PIF in this one.
That Wolves team really was ridiculously good for him to still be finding work off the back of it.
As was pointed out the other day, David Wagner is still, inexplicably, in work with a steady stream of suitors always at the ready for when he's next 'available'.
Meanwhile I see Will Still's Reims are 4th in Ligue Un, can't be long until someone takes a punt on him. West Ham once Moyes' contract expires if not before?
Going on the High Performance Podcast must be worth at least 15 Ligue 1 points.

Looks like Partey was actually injured for the away leg of this fixture given he hasn't featured since.
That's an odd one. Didn't last long anyway.
That was liquid football.
So… is Hojlund good? He seems good.
I'm a twit
He should score goals. He actually looks talented.
I dont think I've ever been more wrong about a player than Trossard.
Games gone
He should probably try shooting..
He sees the ball about 1.7 times a game.
Record-time implosion from Eric Bin Bag's men.
Are you actually watching, Hagrid?
*This seethe was brought to you by the betting thread*
Bruno in a 10 man side alongside Eriksen in a midfield short on numbers is special. Antony to come in at some point too. I swear I enjoy Utd games almost as much as Liv games these days.
Thoughts on the red? All the ManYoo fans on Reddit are chimping out but hard to see what the issue is. Stamps down on his ankle with force. Lots of variations on “He put his leg under Rashford’s foot”
It isn't intentional, he went to shield the ball, but coulda easily snapped the fuckers ankle so yep red.
The ground came up and hit him guv.
United are actually best off finishing third as the wafer is their only chance of getting back into the CL. I'm sure the Glazers have wargamed this.
They need Bayern to pull their finger out here. If Galatasaray sneak a late win they could well be eliminated in effect, tonight.
It's a proper VAR red card. It looks bad slowed down and freeze framed but that's never a red card circa 2010.
Similar to the Curtis Jones one of a few weeks ago. He's not gone to do the player nor has he any bad intent with it, but it looks way worse in slow-mo.
Its the kinds call that pre VAR if a ref hadn't given it and fans had seen the slow mo they'd be screaming red card. Works both ways really. They can't fucking win whatever they do at the end of the day.
FM legend on to win the game for Copenhagen. Roony
'arry Kane and VAR to the rescue.
'arry Kane can only do so much lads...
Yeah, the kid looked elite long before that ridiculous finish. 17 and top scorer at that level is silly too. Kuwaiti mofo
Bardghji is far too many consonants in a row.
That was pretty fun, ten Hag is in trouble. Or would be at a functionally run club.
That Onana penalty save in the last minute looking more and more important.
Man Utd will probably still go through. Not sure I’d trust a Turkish side to win a must win game. Suppose a draw should be fine.
Oh god, Harvey "the retard" Yevrah is here to offer his expert opinion. Consider my wrists slit.
I have no idea what you're talking about you absolute lunatic.
This place gets weirder by the day. I need some sort of active beef schematic.
