Keyblade Posted September 21, 2019 Share Posted September 21, 2019 Just now, useless said: Brighton, Watford and Norwich could all just as easily be fighting for a top half finish this season as well, and by the same token Bournemouth, West Ham, and Everton could all finish in the bottom half. All these teams are much of a muchness Possibly Brighton, but Bournemouth and West Ham in particular are a different caliber of team to us and about 5 or 6 other teams including Norwich and Watford who are dead last.

Fluke win against Spurs aside they've shown absolutely nothing. Thankfully Ashley is likely to be a stubborn clearing in the woods and keep him on for longer than that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turvontour Posted September 21, 2019 Share Posted September 21, 2019 It fascinates me how teams never go on to win like 17 nil, after going 3, 4 or 5 up in the first 20 mins. What's the reason for it? Take their foot off the gas I guess is the obvious one, but why then the 4th and 5th goals today so early on, why not stop at 3? Man City are the most annoying for this, so many big early leads then just stop scoring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chindie Posted September 21, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted September 21, 2019 Foot off the gas plus the other team is eventually going to go hyper defensive to try to prevent further embarrassment and over the course of the game will get used to the kind of things the opposition will do.

After the 5th or 6th especially against opponents like City it’s damage limitation so they’ll park the bus and get the **** out of there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KenjiOgiwara Posted September 21, 2019 Share Posted September 21, 2019 Watford, Southampton and Newcastle have looked very poor to me this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyblade Posted September 21, 2019 Share Posted September 21, 2019 Kane's goal was just brilliant. Those singular touches he dudes to get the ball away from the defender (like he did to Mings when the ball ricocheted to him) is an art form in its own right.

Keyblade Posted September 21, 2019 Share Posted September 21, 2019 Worst Milan Derby I ever watched. Both teams horrific. We could give either of these a game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's also been on the piss for the last 10 years of his career. Thats a huge part of his atrocious injury record. Can't believe he actually went to a tournament with England.

Capello resigned in February over John Terry being stripped of the captaincy by the FA. They appointed Woy in May and he added Carroll to the squad to "bring something different." Meaning that when we hadn't scored after 80 mins we'd get some bloody snow on it and lump it up to him. The English FA has been a disaster for my whole life.

On another note how did England go to a tournament with Welbeck and Carroll Darren Anderton would give you more games 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
