ep, 1st goal would be harsh, it's a mess out on our left but after that what spurs do is quality 

He was in front of Maddison on the 6 yard line. Maddison shouldn't have been allowed to get to it

We shouldn'thave to though tha

IF Emery wants to, then fine, but we shouldn't be forced to

FFP helps Spuds, Arse etc because of their turnover. We will never get to match them in turnover, so according to you we will never be able to buy the players they can. The only way we can compete is to spend as much as they do, and have a better manager, which we have, and we have rich owners, so we can spend,

Pre Sky, and its money, I would probably agree with you, but not now. Unfortunately, its all about how much money you throw at it

With FFP we will NEVER be able to compete with Arse, Ure, Plop, Citeeeh, Chelsk or Spuds. Not sure that is to the benefit of the Prem League tbh.

Nor will Noocastle.

Without FFP , i think Emery would have bought in Jan

Thats a good post mallett, and exactly how i thought at the time. Emery acted, that is a good coach, and kind of nullified the danger to be fair, o i think Warburton was spot on.

Not sure he is a wide player

Thats a lovely cross

Got a good attitude. We know he has quality, it will come

Makes a big difference

Hope he is ok

Why should Luiz have been sent off?

His booking was a joke

what were you expecting here? 

More effort.

He might be off the pae to be fair, but i think Emery shared my concearns

The only way they were going to score was free kicks and corners, and we did give some stupid free kicks away

I thought Emerys subs were very good tonight, and won the game.

Not sure why we seem to get so complacent when winning.

Oliver is normally very good, but was bloody awful tonight.

Spuds need to beat us

I think Moreno plays better with Ramsey V4E,  but hes certainly a very reliable player. 

Not much in it

Lazy?

Good on the ball, not so good off it. Zaniolo put more of a shift in.

Early days, but i wasn't impressed tonight

So let me get this right. FFP is to make it fairer and more of a level playing ground, and yet the team who could finish 4th has to sell one of its best players to adhere to FFP rules. Its a farce, and a restriction on being able to manage your business.

I hope Citeeh take them to court, because i think they will win, and then the league will be more open and competetive.

Back to dreaming........a top quality No 10, a la Merse

I would argue PieFacE that Chelsk, who aren't in the current top4, and more in partic Citeeeh, are only in the top 4 because of being allowed to massively invest in their clubs with the money of their owners, consequently this led to trophies, which led to more interest abroad, which led to more support, and an opportunity then to stabilise the club.

Chelsk and Citeeh were nothing clubs until the big takeovers.

Now imho Villa and Newcastle , if their owners are willing, should be allowed to possibly join them, instead we are in the bizarre situation whereby, although knocking on the door, we will have to sell one of our stars. 

Money has always bought the 1st  division/Prem, the introduction of FFP was blatantly to protect the current status quo.

Good investment decisions will allow teams like Villa and Newcastle the chance to "join" the cartel. FFP does not allow that. 

American Football is continuously interesting because of the draft system, and because of that there are constantly changing champions. The PL needs to look and learn. A league with 8 potential champions will be much more of a saleable item than one with 3.

The PL should work towards creating more competition otherwise it could lose its sparkle

With Pau back, the passing from the back is better, and quicker, and Ramsey, Watkins and Bailey will get the ball in better positions. After todays performance i am relatively confident tbh

Great cross for the goal. Not his fault.

His passing from defence is very good, made no mistakes ,the latest scapegoat obviously

Like Bailey was last season. Hes come on, as will Diaby

Next game key.

For me, win and we finish in the top 5, lose and who knows.

I have to say we played well today, we are a better team than Ure, and with a bit more confidence, them passes, shots and touches are perfect. Much better performance than Wens.

Onwards and upwards

Our MOM by the way

His pace and running with the ball makes a big difference. Missed a few as did Watkins and Luiz, but keep playing like that and top 4/5 is fairly secure imho.
