The way I see it if Newcastle signed Diaby (even at 50m) we'd all be moaning that we missed a trick. The Pau Torres coup is not the norm; if we go full Levy and try to nickle and dime every transfer we're not gonna have much success.

Champions league... experience big games... Arsenal... at home... the Emirates...

This really is one of those signings (especially the fee) you see a big club make and wonder "what a shame we can't sign guys like that", isn't it? The times they are a-changing.

I guess you can Emery has... returned to Monchi.

I 100% agree that Spurs are a tinpot club and I hope they go the route of Everton, but tbf they've been in or around the top 4 for over a decade before this past season, been to a CL final, etc. Meanwhile that decade for Celtic was (until Rangers finally came back up and competitive) playing in a one-club league filled with League One/Two standard clubs. There's not really a comparison, is there? I know I'm an ignorant Yank but history only counts for so much in the big picture. Not to mention that they'll never stop banging on about "SevCo", and the illegitimacy of Rangers as a whole. As if the Old Firm isn't the *only* thing keeping them relevant at this point. But anyways, this thread is about Spurs so I'll keep it on topic. It will be delightful to watch them slide into irrelevancy and the ensuing inability of the fanbase to come to terms with it.

Celtics supporters really are the most obnoxiously deluded I've come across in over a decade of watching this sport. There's Championship clubs that could walk that league.

In case there was any doubt how Sky feels about this result...

Playing FUT and I noticed that Barry Bannan has a 90 rated EFL team of the season card Huh.

Really? Watkins is *just* looking like a Prem striker? Man these announcers...

Offside innit

Oh these really bad people are really going to try and cut us in half today and ref is all for it ****

On the balance of things I'd say 2-1 is a just scoreline, but of course it's some jammy goal that gives the a lifeline. I agree with what other have stated about Matiusz Cashinski. Getting lit up by Garnacho

Think the Delph incident has permanently ruined my ability to look at these types of signings with rose tinted glasses Great business move regardless, but I've a feeling what's coming next

Taking off DL instead of McGinn really says it all, doesn't it? Every single person on this board was commenting on how resolute the Luiz/Kamara combo was. Guess there's only one person in VP who felt otherwise

No less than we deserve, hopefully this expedites Gerrards exit

Have we ever tried running a 4-2-2-2, with Luiz/Kamara as the pivots, 2 of Coutinho/Emi/Bailey as AMs with license to roam wide, and Ings/Watkins up front? Problem is this requires relegating our "captain" to the bench...

Love Coutinho laying off a pass to the wing to no one

You know when you're in a funk in FIFA where the creative juices are dry and you can't pick out a decent advanced pass to save your life? And you just end up meandering around the wings and making aimless passes to the channels? That's every game for us.

Where's the resale value gonna be on that one?! GERRARD OUT

Hahahahaha ...

Ashley Young, formerly of England?

2 players slipped on their **** arse in 5 seconds Yup. It's Villa

Just wanna pop in and say that Olympic Stadium is a soulless husk compared to Upton Park and every time a club sells our their heritage for a shiny new toy it makes me all that more grateful we haven't. I'm not too annoyed with the result. Still think this diamond formation isn't the best idea, I know Coutinho plays best in the hole but we've gotta find a way to get Bailey on and one of Ings/Watkins off.

It's inevitable at this rate.
