:laugh:

He's kind of right about blaming Levy.

I agree and disagree about managers not being more adaptable. Ange is a good example. His methods work. He's won at almost every club he's managed so his methods get results. The problem is its gonna take too long to get the squad be his squad and thats where Mr Levy comes in. Levy has backed the project thus far but I cant ever see him paying 80 million plus for a player. He's wants 4 or 5 players for that much.

Last year Ange bought Mr Levy a bit of time after the dour anti football of Mourinho and Conte but we can see the Spurs fans are a bit impatient. :laugh: The worse thing they can do is sack Ange cuz IMO he's the best manager they've had since Poch

Spurs losing. And Liverpool losing this weekend is great for Chelsea's CL hopes. Villa and Newcastle winning was annoying though.

Top 2 will be City and Arsenal, i think 3rd and 4th has about 4 or 5 teams in with a shout this season. Chelsea need CL next season

if spurs sacked Ange, who would they replace him with, Southgate? :laugh:

The manager pool has really dried up, thats why Ten Hag still has a job

Southgate is the better Manager so why not?:shrug:

Regardless of that though, teams need to stop trying to copy Pep's tactics, most of these other Managers and teams suck at attempting it, and it just plays into Man City's hands in terms of winning trophies.

Plus it does create boring Football matches.

Southgate is an awful manager

He got England to two Euro finals.:laugh:

with the best squad of players england ever had.

The Golden Generation is the best squad that England's ever had imo.

People will see just how good we had it with Southgate when the next Manager comes in, and we get knocked out of the World Cup by Costa Rica or Nigeria.

Spurs have kept just 4 cleans sheets

in their last 37 games

:shocked:

it's the definition of insanity to keep doing the same thing and expecting a different result. It seems to me we have a lot of insanity in the premier league :laugh:

Small Angela's post match Sky interview was an embarrassment

:skull:

if Ange and Ten Hag are both winning trophies this season, it's not leaving much for city, arsenal and liverpool to fight over :laugh:

Arsenal captain Martin Odegaard will be out for "a while" with "quite significant" ligament damage, says manager Mikel Arteta.

A distraught Odegaard needed help leaving the pitch and had to be substituted after turning his ankle during the second half of Norway's Nations League win over Austria in Oslo earlier this month.

why isnt the Man City court case playing out in public?

Dunno what it is but i can't remember a season where there is just literally no hype, and very little interest all round. I think i've watched 2 games so far this season. The new CL format is rubbish too.

Champions league formant is horrendous. YEs, we get big clubs playing against each other but its gonna be a lot of cagey games if a big club do dominate who is gonna remember the Bayern game come the final in May.

I say, Arsenal qualify for the knockouts, hopefully, then throw it in the bin and concentrate on domestic competitions. Hopefully

Yeah the new format has put me right off. As for the PL, i hope Arsenal win it, and i never thought i'd ever say that, but man im just so incredibly bored with City's dominance now.

Probably bias, but when Chelsea "brought the league" they just didn't feel as plastic and soulless a club like City do. Can't quite put my finger on it. City do play some nice football, but i never care about watching them now. I suppose Chelsea were a really awful team to watch under Mourinho at times, going 1 or 2 up and playing keep ball possession football. But man, City just bore me to tears now.

Crazy to think Ipswich have not won a game, scored only 3 goals, and yet are a still above the relegation zone.

Also, a more ruthless team would have put 8 past West Ham today. Chelsea wont get many more easier games than that this season. West Ham were awful

Arsenal have had two players booked for delaying a restart in this game. Has any other premier league team even had one player booked for this?.

If Arsenal can hold on this will be huge!

Three player booked for delaying the ******ing game in the same game. WHats happening in football.

If this the rule then I think there should be a player booked in almost every game

F OFF
