Excellent stuff. Yeah I did and that's exactly how I remember their coverage. It was ridiculous. Bolton always got a disproportionate amount of coverage too as they had Lee Chung-Yong. When Villa were playing either United or Bolton we'd be guaranteed to be on TV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a-k Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 Never like seeing players get injured, but have to say this is a bit of karma for all those times he's done this this season and completely wiped out the defender mid-air. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genie Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 I don’t know what the obsession is with writing off the managers of the big clubs. Ole, Jose, Pep, Klopp, , Arteta etc As soon as they lose a game or 2 “Finished, dinosaur, PE teacher etc”. The league and cups are marathons, not sprints. There’s ups and downs. It’s just normal business. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s just normal business. It is the short term nature of football nowadays that every other week there's a different manager under pressure. Like you I think the stick OGS has got for most of this season has been way OTT but we'll see if they quickly bounce back from the shock loss the other day. Arteta I actually though got an easy ride from the press given how bad Arsenal were most weeks up to xmas but he's suprisingly turned things round. Media were hardly calling for Frank Lampard's sacking so in that respect club was far more ruthless in sending him off when they could've given him a few more games. Ulitmately though if Leicester don't blow up this season (Rodgers is bottler etc ) then at least one of the big boys will miss out on CL and all the rich toys it brings. Jose Mourinho finishing 6th in the league when he has full season will always bring scrutiny given how much abuse he used to direct at Wenger for seasons when he'd finish 3rd or 4th and win an FA cup.

YouUnastanFren Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 They looked absolutely toothless without Kane. Plus Son has been inflating their points total by scoring screamers every other week but that can only go on for so long. Lowest xG of any team this round of fixtures? Spurs. Lowest of any team in the previous round? Also Spurs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The system will pull you through even if you get bad luck with injuries. Look at Liverpool too. Impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sne Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 Didn't they use to be fairly clever with signings or at least contracts? The Bale signing was always going to be a disaster, he is finished. And if you believe the papers (you probably shouldn't ) then they have also been interested in bringing Christian Eriksen and Aaron Ramsey in. The salaries for this type of players are just impossible to justify, even if they get them for free or cheap. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know yeah, only 1 league title, 1 league cup, 1 community shield and 1 Europa League in that time. I’d love some of that shambles Only has 1 cup final secured this season too.

Tomaszk Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 We can move past them next season. Absolutely no doubt. If we buy OK and keep Jack, it'll happen without too much fuss. They are packed with utter shit. They've been crap for years but have Son and Kane. They were crap the year they got to Champions League final, ask any Spurs fan who knows their onions. The bad performances carried on and Pocc eventually got booted but there's something wrong there. Look at the state of the weekly wages of these wasters... Gareth Bale £600,000 (probably only paying 20-60%) Dele Alli £100,000 Hugo Lloris £100,000 Erik Lamela £80,000 Lucas Moura £80,000 Moussa Sissoko £80,000 Eric Dier £72,215 Serge Aurier £70,000 Matt Doherty £65,385 Davinson Sanchez £65,000 Ben Davies £60,000 Danny Rose £60,000 Joe Hart £51,923 Harry Winks £50,000 That's probably at least £60m a year on that lot they're spending. And I would actually guess it's much more. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
