  1. Has been very good for Argentina, much less so for Spurs obviously.
  2. Emi Martinez would love us to sign Lo Celso, the Argentina nationals seem very tight. We have to watch out so we don’t end up with Romero as well.
  3. Are Kamara and Cash out for the season? Bad news.
  4. Oops. Pyunik FC from Armenia were in group H it seems.
  5. AZ from the Netherlands were in a cool group this season. They played Dnipro-1 in the Ukraine, Apollon Limassol in Cyprus and Vaduz in Armenia.
  6. Really hope West Ham don’t win it now. Would be so much better to be the first English winners of that competition instead of repeating what they did the season before.
  7. It’s the same in the Conference, group winners skip one play-off stage and the runners-up play some team knocked out of Europa.
  8. The team from England doesn’t go straight into the group stage (like with the Champions or Europa League). Instead it will first go into a play-off, playing some team home and away. If it wins, it then goes to the group. So it’s possible for the League Cup winners/7th in the league team to only play 2 games and get knocked out.
  9. Still Spurs fans get upset when you say they’ve never been more successful than under the current owners.
  10. Stellini will be out after this. Depending on who gets in, Spurs could improve by the time we play them.
  11. Meslier is a strange one. He’s hopeless at everything, no command of the box, poor distribution, makes weird mistakes and a medicre shot stopper. Still there’s always talk about him being this great talent, apparently Bayern see him as a potential future nr 1.
  12. Remember 6 months ago, before Everton appointed him, when the general view was that Dyche could save basically any team from relegation?
  13. I hope people around the team are trying to manage expectations. Looking at the games various teams have left, Villa most likely will end up 8th (bookies agree). Still a brilliant ending if we remember where we came from in October, but with every media in the country lately talking about Villa going to Europe there is a risk some will end up being disappointed. For me, it’s all about 2023/24. Anything this season is just a very unexpected bonus.
  14. Lol I’m not even able to watch this game, but sounds about right. Dougie = golden God of football
  15. He’ll also be 33 in a few weeks. For a player relying so much on pace that’s pretty old, he will show signs of age sooner or later. Avoid like the plague.
  16. I must admit that was my first thought as well when I saw he just had another kid. ”Oh no, there goes his great form”.
  17. Sounds like Nagelsmann is close to getting the job, which is great news as he definitely would struggle there. Makes it easier for us to get top 6 next season.
  18. I don’t believe Southgate has anything against Watkins, he’s picked him before and will probably do it again if Ollie keeps his form. Mings is another story, it seems to me Southgate listens a lot to what loudmouths say online and Mings has had plenty of detractors.
  19. What’s special about our current form is that I’ve even started to like the third kit. Because we can’t stop winning in it.
  20. Could be good to see Liverpool in the Conference League though, spending Thursdays in Armenia and Moldova.
  21. Without a doubt. He’s always been technically brilliant, but has really grown into an allround tactically smart player.
  22. More, without a doubt. Strikers are the most expensive players and 50m really doesn’t get you that much anymore in that category. At least 70m.
  23. He should have had 2 goals, but still very very good. Lovely to see him score in front of the home crowd again.
  24. There were reports the other day about him being about to sign a new contract for 100k per week, which is obviously good money but sounded low to me. 100k would make him our 5th or 6th highest earner I think.
