  1. And the Betano deal. Yes, he has a very favorable wind with Unai doing the hard work on the pitch but the deals still have to get done. We have to be fair and complement the positive on the commercial side and can then also acknowledge the complete and utter shitting of the bed with the crest, stadium plan and wider fan and employee relations.
  2. Totally agree re his past pens but If you look at Ollie’s self development you can be damn sure that he’s been working on his penalties and is probably itching for a chance to get them back. Will be interesting to see what happens if we get a pen in the next two league games whilst Luiz is suspended.
  3. It’s now been delayed by a full three months…..
  4. And that’s without pens. If he had pens he’d be well clear ahead as the best forward player in the league this year.
  5. It would be a shock if Leverkeusen don’t get through. It’s fine if they progress if Bayern and Dortmund get knocked out. As a minimum we need Liverpool, Villa and Man City to progress. If Arsenal knock out Bayern as well it’s pretty much done bar the shouting.
  6. I’m confident. We have the most experienced manager possible for a European tie. Should be a great game at VP with a great atmosphere and that tends to bring out the best in our players and they’ll feel that they have something to prove after Brentford.
  7. Watkins won’t be sold unless someone offers a truly staggering amount. He’s up there with Haaland, Salah and De Bruyne as the best attacking players in the league in terms of goal contributions (without pens), is always fit and is continually applying himself and improving. If anything, he’s demonstrating captain credentials.
  8. I don’t buy that at all. These are the games that players want to play in. Full first team now for the next few games. Hopefully we get the extra coefficient spot and can then put everything into beating Bournemouth and Chelsea and can then put our feet up in the league.
  9. The general consensus appears to be that if we qualify for champions league we won’t have huge room to spend but won’t have to sell anyone significant either. If we don’t qualify for champions league then it’s very likely we will have to sell a first teamer to avoid PSR issues and to create some spending room. Some of the posters have done some quite detailed analysis so hopefully can provide additional detail.
  10. 5.7 is not going to fly at all in such an important part of the pitch. Especially when we are obviously recruiting taller players in our profiles, both the young left back and right back we signed are just over 6ft and Rogers is well over 6ft.
  11. Fantastic comments from Ollie after a fantastic point saving performance. Exactly what you want to hear a senior player say after a game like that. Taking full accountability but making it clear that letting a 2-0 lead slip is no longer acceptable. Emery must be looking at him like a proud dad.
  12. Impressed with how much he has developed in such a short period of time but key is consistency. Let’s see if he maintains this level to the end of the season and then hopefully he can duke it out with Ramsey and Buendia for that role next season.
  13. It’s on them to close the gap. We’ve got the points in the bag.
  14. We probably only need one win to secure fifth. A win and a draw and it’s done.
  15. Because he wasn’t dumb enough to do it in front of the spurs bench
  16. About as blatant a pen you’ll ever see.
  17. It’s not naive at all based on their performances this season. Look at how many shots they’ve given up in this game. Liverpool had enough chances to win three games.
  18. Pochettino is on the record saying even Palmer wasn’t his signing and that he was bought by the owner and sporting directors.
  19. After tuchel told him to do one apparently after he tried to bring his mates into the dressing room during a half time break
  20. It’s fairly well known he was buying players that managers didn’t ask for….
  21. We’re just not in a position to countenance refusing the minimum 50m that the champions league will give us in tv revenue, match day revenue, additional sponsorship revenue let alone the additional global exposure we will get. Especially in the PSR age. If anything a season in the champions league will stick 20m on the transfer fee of our key players and make it easier to attract the high potential younger players we will replace the eventual sales from the first team with. Yes we’re not ready for it but we will have a full summer to do that and will be stronger for some of these experiences such as brentford.
