The blocking and obstructing that went on i the penalty box today was incredible

One instance involved Johnson jockeying and pushing Quansa from the edge of the 6 yard box to completely off the pitch behind the goals without EVER looking at the ball !

The ref , assistants and VAR did nothing

Following up on the rumour that the charges against Man City will be dropped. Mark Goldbridge has been sent a cease and desist letter by Man City lawyers, because he has been saying city are guilty, Mark has acknowledged that he has received the letter himself publicly

He hasnt said anything that City can legally use in court. Flexing their muscles and intimidating a popular content creators. I say again, how does anyone who's not a City fan want these ***** to win the title. COYG

Try looking at it from a different angle. The premier league came up with the charges, and its now up to them (or whoever they directed to represent them) make it stick. Do you have full confidence that the PL are up to the job?

Julen Lopetegui has agreed a deal to become West Ham manager at the end of the season.

Nothing has been signed yet but the 57-year-old is close to making a return to management following his departure from Wolves in August last year.

Current Hammers boss David Moyes has come under increasing pressure after a poor run of results that has seen his side win one of their past nine Premier League games and exit the Europa League in the quarter-finals.

West Ham were thrashed 5-0 by Chelsea on Sunday to leave them ninth in the table.

Moyes, who is out of contract in the summer, has repeatedly fended off questions about his future at the club, saying talks will not take place until after their final game at Manchester City on 19 May.

Not really but the nature of the charges are quite easy to prove. Let me put it this way, Man City surely are not going to beat every single one of the 115 charges. That would be very stinky and I'd like to there to be an enquiry if this rumour of all charges being dropped is true.

Trying to gag Goldbridge is a bully tactic. HE is entitled to his opinion and he doesnt have to prove anything he says. Man City are not winning many friends with their stance on these charges and justice needs to be seen to be done.

Didn't I say something very similar about two months ago?

Spurs will be Spurs. Lost 4 in row. Gone 4-0 down twice, 3-0 down once and 2-0 down but they've got the best back five in the league according to the fans. They did a combine 11 before the NLD and most of the Spurs fans were putting 5 of their players in it. 5, I'm not joking

I like Big Ange and you know my feelings ie that he should use Spurs as a stepping stone for an actual big job. I like that he's being stubborn about the deficiencies of his team. At least he believes in his philosophy and the players need to buy into it more.

What is troubling in how the players have dropped off. A few months ago according to the fans Maddison is better than Odergaard but spurs fans are telling me Maddison hasnt had a good game since March. This drop off shows they were never anywhere near in the first place.

Thankfully the league are getting rid of another dinosaur and getting a guy who plays nice football

People are never happy

There has been a sizeable number saying sack Ten Hag, but now Bayern have said they are interested in him, we should keep him

But he’s been successful everywhere he’s been

If you’d have asked the Spurs faithful before the season started if they’d settle for 5th ( maybe even 4th) in the league , playing wonderfully exciting football they would have all said Hallelujah !


He’s done all that in his first season in charge, with long standing injuries to many key players throughout the season ( and losing some crucial ones to the Asian cup competitions) .. all this against three amazing teams in Arsenal, Liverpool and RuleBreakingCity !!

Mikel Arteta won the FA cup in his first year. A fact that people only trot out when it suits them Big Ange has done well but lets not get carried away. How many of that Arsenal side are still at the club?

I like Ange and the way he plays but this is not the Scottish Prem. Teams get hit quickly at this level.

I have a friend who follows Celtic who told me that under Ange Spurs will lose games when they've had 70% possession. A great call and someone who sees the deficiencies of Ange-ball.

Its gonna take time for this project to come together and players, who are fan favourites, will have to be let go. This is stuff the Spurs fans couldnt see a few months ago as they were too busy gassing it about how good they think they are.

Then we get the Levy issues ie the chairman not backing the project with his money and I'm optimistic that Spurs arent gonna do much for the next few seasons. Just like they haven't for a few years now.

Spurs aren't finishing 4th now, no way. They've lost 4 games in a row. True bottlers.

Who knows

But without all the injuries to absolute key players plus losing their midfield plus Son to those competitions they would be challenging for 3rd place

This last dreadful run coincides with losing Udogie who is vital down the left

I dont accept the 'injuries' excuse. Its an excuse. Liverpool have had more out and Arsenal have had Timber out for the whole season and Partey out. Looking at the way Partey has played since coming back I can say that if we had him we may have sown it up by now. ITs very Spurzy to use the 'injuries' excuse.

Lets talk about the midfield cuz I think the midfield that Spurs fans raved about is actually not good enough for this level. I alluded to it in a previous post that fan faves may be let go and I see Bissouma being one. I compare him to Hector Bellerin. A player Arsenal fans were certain would fit into Artetas plan but after two seasons we finally saw that he just doesn't fit in. This is why I urge Spurs fans to be cautious. Maddison too. A few months ago he was better than Odergaard now Spurs fans are calling him selfish. Trying to make 20 - 30 million pound players into 100 million pound players needs a huge input from the player himself and those two are prime examples of players who seem to have hit a wall this season. Unlike Odergaard who is definitely now a much better player that the player signed from Real Madrid. How many Spurs players can we say are better now than when signed? Not many.

I like Ange but Spurs are nowhere near where some of the fans think they are.
