So today, correct me if I've missed anything out here, they've managed to: acquire Michael Beale as their new manager who is already trending on twitter before they actually announce it, cave in and let 6000 Newcastle fans watch the derby, Turf their own season ticket holders out in the process, Allow said Newcastle fans hospitality seats and Block anti-Newcastle banners from being displayed AFTER they've already paid for them What a day man

The Trust Fund kid has done them a massive favour there mind in vetoing that heap of shit. Imagine wasting your only shot at having a genuine pop at the Saudis and coming up with that fucking drivel man Football fans would have been ripping their own skeletons out cringing so hard. If you're going to have a dig at them then at least put in more than 10 minutes of time and make it meaningful and/or intelligent, they're so fucking useless

They know their place, they've bent the knee as requested

Wonder who they go for to replace him in the summer?

I'd settle for that. Thought they may actually end up with someone decent, never mind.

Not even sure what to say after that tbh. I'm fucking furious. Had it all in the palms of our hands and proceeded to throw the cunt away. We make it 2-0 and the essentially give up and we finish 2nd and qualify. We then choose to concede, then shit our collective pants and lose the game. It's fucking amateurish and it puts us out of Europe completely. I'm 100% behind Howe and the club but that shit tonight was embarrassing. To throw that away from the position we were in is criminal, it's pigshit

One more wins it for us, don't think Milan have any guts to claw it back out they go 2 down, they already know they're essentially fucked as it is, the towel will come in if we score next. We've been largely excellent so far but the game in dortmund will do it's own thing, we've got no control over that

Any idea why Dortmund are so big, and PSG odds on too tbh, tonight? Dortmund are 27/10 and PSG are 17/20. Can't see Dortmund rolling over at home when a point wins the group. Are PSG now like the CL version of Keyser Soze and protected from up on high or something?

Liverpool A West Ham A Villa H He fucks those 3 up and he's got to be fucked and rightly so. They'll be out of all European competitions and 1 domestic Cup as well as probably into mid-table by Xmas despite all of the cash spent

To finish rock bottom of this group has got to be seen as a complete failure, surely? Winning only 1/6 against the likes of Copenhagen and Gala? Really? Pigshit

Ooooof, pick that fucker out

Dubravka has gone from 'experienced' to 'old' within a fortnight tbh. He's looked really poor against Everton and Spurs, he wasn't alone but if he's carrying any kind of knock then Karius has to be the better option until January

Shaw's off with a hammy and Slabhead's done his groin. #barebones

Bayern have several more gears in hand here, they're in control mode, auto-pilot stuff. Just ticking over without throwing too much into it, they're a class above

Nasty little cunt Garnacho like. Knew exactly what he was doing there

A place in the shop window, nothing more. He does even remotely well then he can fuck them off immediately for a bigger and better job without upsetting a big team in the process

This is 100% true. I've queried one shirt and the response was one of the best and most informative emails I've ever received

@lovejoy is legit

You know what Chelsea need? Another 5 players costing another £200m. That'll fix it What they actually need is to chill the fuck out, allow football people to make key decisions on personnel and give a proven manager time to gel things together to get results. What's happening is like a toddler who's getting increasingly more distressed as they can't roll a double 6 in a game of monopoly. Just fucking buying everything on sale without any plan of what to do or strategy. Just rolling the dice constantly and being upset with every single thing. They're irritated, emotional and immature toddlers because they've bought everything and still aren't winning. They're fucking shit tbph

1-0 Wilson Qualify in 2nd place, fuck it, why not?

Was a single Fulham corner away from landing an 11 leg 127/1 bet this afternoon. Beyond miffed like Fuckers scored 5, had 3 corners by HT and didn't get a single one in the second half the utter cretins

It's been a sobering few days for everyone definitely, it's also given an opportunity for the utter arseholes to start pointing their fingers and throwing their toys about too. The levels of entitlement from, a thankfully small, minority have well and truly been triggered. They've taken less than 2 years to get used to winning regularly and making fantastic progress on and off the field and the first pocket of genuine poor form and they're losing their shit. Honestly thought that given what we achieved last season that Howe was bullet-proof this season regardless of what happens but I've read over the last few days is remarkable. I'm not saying that questions shouldn't be asked and he's beyond any/all criticism but the context of what's happening off the park is just being ignored by some. He's not perfect and I've not always agreed with everything he's done but he's so far away from any fan-pressure it's untrue in my eyes. He will turn it around and we will pick up points in the next few weeks. Form comes and goes and one thing we saw time and time again is that a bad run of form is normally followed by a consistent flow of goals and wins, it'll happen again, chin up folks

Poor performance and no complaints about the result, it could have been even worse in hindsight. Not going to pile in on them too much but that first half was pathetic even allowing for the tiredness. Some of the 'football' we played at times was shocking. Really struggled with the basics of controlling and passing the fucking thing. Spurs pressed well and knocked it around well but that first half was as poor and passive as we've been for months. It will get better as we get more bodies back but I'm not sure what we'll still have left to play for other than the league by the end of January. It was always going to be a roller-coaster of a season and this is one of the dips. Need to look ahead and think about how huge the Milan game is for us now. No point dwelling on this or feeling sorry for ourselves, these games are the reward for their performances last season.

Not sure what to for the next hour, watch the second half or take a razor-blade to my genitals? Tough choice

Can't argue with this, scoreline is about right. We've just not been good enough again, back to back away games at Everton and spurs is a tough ask but we've barely laid a glove on either team tbh. Disappointing to say the least
