Voinjama Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 I see Sandro puked again. I swear I have seen some gifs of him doing that several times....? Yeah it's the 3rd time he has vomited on the pitch. There have been quite a few incidents of player's puking on the pitch over the years. Manchester United v Spurs in 2010, 2 players in the same game puked, Nani and someone else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samjp26 Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 Trying to overhaul most of your team and its philosophies with £100m isn't too different to trying to do it with £20m. They will have many ups and downs this season, it just sticks out more because of the expectations that come with the transfer fees and such. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonLax Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 Did the squad need so much overhauling though? I can't help but think that they would have actually been better off keeping Redknapp who did finish 4th twice with Spurs and had a lot less money than AVB has had to play with.

Popular Post BOF Posted November 25, 2013 Moderator Popular Post Share Posted November 25, 2013 Heat maps can be annoying but they can also be fun. Here's Soldado's heat map v Citeh. Kicking off 6 times was his most active task 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomaszk Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 £30m on Lamela £26m on Soldado Wouldn't stump up £3m more for Benteke They'd be such a side with him at the top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonLax Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 I think it is much too early to be writing those players off though, Lamela especially. Even Soldado hasn't turned into a crap player over night, I think it's the way he is being deployed that is the issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BOF Posted November 26, 2013 Moderator Share Posted November 26, 2013 There are few rumours around here AVBS just been sacked Dont know how accurate that isPaddypower have shortened their odds.

Voinjama Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 The odds have been slashed on him losing his job before new year, but he hasn't been sacked....yet. They are only 2 points off 4th FFS, some overeacting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shillzz Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 Don't fully understand the hatred towards them. Yes they're the media darlings of the footballing world, and perhaps that's it, but they're one of the better sides who have achieved... wait... they haven't actually achieved anything for a very, very long time have they? As you were chaps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Rev Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 Speculation based on bookies odds is more miss than hit. I still remember when Skybet suspended betting on Moyes getting the Villa job and people on here took that as it was a done deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 Skybet are rocket polishers anyway. they always make up shit on transfer deadline day to rip people off. Who falls for that rubbish? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted November 26, 2013 Moderator Share Posted November 26, 2013 On the discussion of AVB and Spurs and of the mood of the fans. All is not rosey there. It's not just the results and the fact they're not scoring goals. It's the manner in which they are playing. If they were losing games while playing attractive attacking football and while clearly trying to get a system up and running (see Man Utd) then the fans might be more patient. But they're not. They're doing all of the above while playing insufferable dross that appears to be actually getting worse both in terms of results and style. If you then factor in the enormous financial outlay which brings with it its own pressure and expectation of results, then you begin to see why AVB isn't sitting as pretty with the fans as he would be if you only based it on a superficial look at the league table.

As much as I think he's a bit of an arse, imagine the football they'd be playing under 'arry with the footballers they have at their disposal.

Zatman Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 but the think is the games ive seen Spurs play they have battered their opponents, us, Cardiff and Newcastle. Vs Newcastle they had enough chances to win 2 games at least. Soldado needs to start firing for AVB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
