December football: bald men hold sway

[randomlegend]

If he was called Ruben Amorim and had got Portugal into the same euro finals/semis playing the same football as Southgate has with England, you would all be gagging for him in the way you're gagging for the real Ruben Amorim who has taken Varzim to the cleaners and how. It's quite simply that familiar names and domestic appointments are deeply unfashionable.

Load of bollocks, as always. Your "you just wont a fashnuble forrin" is the more clichéd schtick at this point than actually just wanting the fashionable foreign manager would be.

Amorim is a popular choice because his teams have played good football, he's turned around clubs who were in the doldrums and he seems quite likeable.

Southgate is unpopular because he had a stacked England squad playing terrible football and underachieving whilst doing so.

Nobody would have any issue with an English manager who was actually good.

That Spurs team looks near enough full strength. Injury crisis I hear.

[Baz]

How is Saliba not offside for that goal?

[Ben]

The keeper and the racist. I’m stumped thinking of anyone else…

[Spikey M]

They were without both centre backs until today (maybe the last game).

But either way, the issue isn't so much injuries as a complete lack of depth. Beyond the starting 11 they have an absolute load of shite to choose from.

[Gray Fox]

Paella Pulis once more in the mud when he doesnt get all the set piece goals.

[Waffdon]

Chelsea go 11 clear of spurs and Newcastle with a win. Would basically wrap up CL football by Christmas

[Waffdon]

Terrific start. Two spurs chances (and goal) from defenders having a howler. Now the game sets up perfectly for spurs

[Waffdon]

The majority of the Chelsea team have a retard gene and it seems they’re all using it today. Two goals conceded from slipping ffs

[Ben]

Lmao

[Baz]

[Ben]

Cucurella, Cinderella.

Drury at his finest.

[Waffdon]

Was always happening - things been going far too well the last month. Palmer Achilles injury inbound

[Manc]

I don't think you can say Southgate underachieved with England. You need a bit of luck to win trophies at an international level.

[Spikey M]

Tottenham are just unexplainable as a team.

[Waffdon]

This is always the best fixture of the year. Mental start to a game

[Yevrah]

He got a bit of luck, absolute shit loads of it.

[Ben]

Good stuff this. Not a cool head in sight.

[Magic]

Good stuff this. Not a cool head in sight.

Definitely has a touch of Copa Libertadores about it.

[Waffdon]

Chelsea probably win this if he brings on a right sided centre half and right back at half time (assuming they don’t throw any other goals in before then)

[Ben]

Yeah I’m thinking Chelsea score 2 or 3 more comfortably. But the keeper and back line are a total bomb scare so fuck knows.

[Magic]

Carragher is such an irritating cunt.

[Gray Fox]

This has Chelsea scoring a late winner and giving it to the crowd vibes.

[Ben]

Jackson.

[Spoonsky]

This game is goofy. No way Spurs are making it out of here without conceding a few more.

[Waffdon]

Jackson.

Would be special but he is completely off it. His positioning has been poor all game, could have tapped a couple in this half alone

[Ben]

Chelsea should be a couple up already. This is mental. Nailed on for Son to counter and make it 3-1.

[Spikey M]

Fucking Werner

[Spoonsky]

What an idiot. Rare that a pen is so blatant that the conceding player just puts their head in their hands rather than symbolically protesting to the ref.

[Jimmy Floyd]

Why does it take 3 hours for a penalty to be taken these days?

[Magic]

To be fair so could Palmer.

[Waffdon]

Badiashile has given the ball away a ridiculous amount of times

[Waffdon]

If that went in would it have counted?

[Spoonsky]

Why does it take 3 hours for a penalty to be taken these days?

Players need time to decide the order of their celebrations.

[Jimmy Floyd]

If that went in would it have counted?

I think yes, which makes it a lot funnier that Son completely bottled the finish.

[Waffdon]

Badiashile has given the ball away a ridiculous amount of times

So fucking bad

[Jimmy Floyd]

Palmer is Zola. What a footballer. Peerless.

[Waffdon]

Enzo Fernandez left his wife and kids and has turned into a machine

[Gray Fox]

Maybe not so late winner.

[Spoonsky]

Palmer is Zola. What a footballer. Peerless.

Yeah. Feels like a very rare player these days.

Enzo must have one of the most slappable faces in the league. I think he's passed Foden, neck and neck with Bernardo Silva.

[Gray Fox]

Ange should just walk away from this lot. Cursed club.

[Ben]

Enzo Fernandez left his wife and kids and has turned into a machine

I headed over to his Wikipedia article to read up on this but got more enthralled by the fact he’s racked up 21 points on his driving licence in just a year, 12 of which were due to offences in Swansea. What the fuck is he doing there?

[niko_cee]

Two nil and you fucked it up . . .



Vultures will be circling Ange towers before too long if things keep on like this.

[Jimmy Floyd]

Romance of the game, mate. Kids in parks, mate.

[Waffdon]

Oh my days he’s so good

[Magic]

Fucking hell. Absolute filth. That's what you get for the paper throwing.

[Ben]

Kicking myself for not having a bet on this outcome. It was coming a mile off even at 2-1.

Still can’t believe Man City let this lad leave. They should have changed everything to accommodate him.

[niko_cee]

Is the little horse now a stalking horse then?

Still can’t believe Man City let this lad leave. They should have changed everything to accommodate him.

The WWE analogy of this is he got himself over without permission from the egomaniac boss. Can't be having that.

[Jimmy Floyd]

Is the little horse now a stalking horse then?

No, it's just a series of happy happenings, this one the happiest yet. No way we're a better team than Arsenal, for example.
