You should probably try watching full matches then
Cruel and unusual punishment.
I wonder if sky will try brand this match?
Mundane Monday?
Mundane Monday?
That's a live fixture to test the mettle of anyone who claims to love football of any colour and creed.
Meh Monday
Imagine being wise after the event !
I certainly didn't miss the point at all .. and in fact I've laboured to make it clear that I favoured bringing Sturridge on after 60 mins at the latest (I believe I said this at HT - maybe not on this forum, can't be sure, and can't be arsed to check, it might even be in the pre-game thread). But not because he is first and foremost a striker, but because he was certainly fresher than those that had traveled long distances and played 2-3 games within a short timeframe.
It also wasn't a lazy pop - Brendan said he (alluding to Sturridge) would have scored from Firmino's chance, that's the point I took issue with and highlighted it by saying he's already missed chances this season so why on earth would he be nailed on to score that one.
How long before Pardew gets the sack?
Heh, I love those stories. I often find the best way to run multi-million pound enterprises is to base all decisions on a single game.
Pardew is certainly right up there in the list of managers that I fucking despise.
Perhaps not quite sharing the rarified air of genuine, all-time cunts like Baconface and Mourinho, but one level below. He's always been well-known for his preening arrogance, love of himself - and other players' wives - with an astonishingly high opinion of his abilities that don't bear any scrutiny.
His FA Cup Final dance is perhaps the greatest visual summary of him as a person and manager: a bizarre, self-congratulatory, smug, peacocking display, followed by almost inevitable failure and defeat. Cunt.
He is also my favourite example of the classic debate "Managers Don't Make Any Difference" with his cyclical "boom/ bust" results a beautiful example of how little genuine effect most managers actually have on results, especially ones like Pardew. There isn't a scintilla of genuine humility in him. He's a humourless braggart.
He's been under growing fan pressure and ire for a few weeks now, with his decision to get rid of Jedinak viewed as another example of his "Big I Am" zero-tolernace approach to anyone with a personality or influence. And his close relationship with Parrish ("bum boys" I think I read somewhere) viewed as the only reason he's still in charge.
Fucking Pardew.

To be fair I think its more down to this then just the game vs Swansea...
Thats unbelievably shite..
Spurs lost and are out of the Champions League
Which is nice

He made 3 or 4 world class saves including a penalty.
Levy won't let him go cheap.
It baffles me that Madrid,Barca and City have shit keepers whilst this lad is at Spurs.
Spurs were horrendous. Really poor. Eric Dier in particular was caught out of position countless of times. The good news is that they will most likely end up in the Europa league.
They'll cost a shitload but either Bakayoko or Fabinho would be fantastic signings for us.
Lloris will probably leave this summer. Could end up at City I guess. Still feel Real will go for De Gea, although Courtouis has said he could move back to Spain aswell.

Montreal up 2-0 at home so far in first leg of their semi final against Toronto. TFC look shellshocked and vulnerable at the back.
61000 fans and they sound loud.

Cracker of a game this. Montreal went up 3-0 and looked to have the tie put to bed. But TFC with an attacking sub and they've pulled back 2 away goals through Altidore and Bradley. Can hear the away fans in full voice now. Totally different atmosphere.
He's absolutely brilliant to be fair, top 3 in world for me.
Pochettino inherited their two best players in Lloris and Kane (though didn't play the latter for a good while, preferring a non-scoring Soldado) and has failed, for me, to add enough quality around them (bar Ali).
For all the media hype around Pochettino, his team has won nothing and seems to have a habit of coming up well short or losing their heads when the pressure is on. He's also fashioned possibly the most snidey team currently in the Premier league. a right bunch of diving, fouling, whining cynical cunts.
I really hope they get third in their group and fall into the Europa League, impacting on a subsequently mediocre league campaign.
Lloris was a right liability when he first joined the league, he was always a superb shot stopper, but his rushing out would have made bravo blush, he seems to have cut those mistakes out now with time and experience, and he's indeed a top top goalkeeper. When they fail to make the top 4 this season, City would be made not to throw the bank at him, he's perfect for them.
As for Potch, someone's said this before, but it rings true, whilst the likes of Klopp, Pep, Mourinho, Conte and Wenger are all creators of their own styles, tactical innovators if you will, Potch has always seemed an imitator to me, a very good one, but an imitator none the less. His teams to me always seemed like they were trying to mimics the tactics of Klopp and Pep, the hard work, athleticism, and the frenetic pressing, but lacking the cutting edge and swagger that those two teams had, sure they've turned it on at times, but that was always done to personal brilliance from the players more than tactical brilliance in my books. He's also a massive snide classless cunt, but hey ho.
