That's a really weird, but revealing piece. If not surprising. Mindfully changing your officiating calls based on how you want to be seen/not seen as a ref and the impact of the game.

Wow, he's really hit the ground running, full-blown cunt mode from the off. "There should be some signs of my style of play on Saturday. It won’t be completely nailed down of course." "I’ve had two days on the training pitch." Anything good = Pardew, anything not = predecessor.

Are there any full-time cup final gifs?

Fucking genius that was Quite annoying that the 'W' is so wide compared to the 'L' and the 'D'. Makes the run look better than it is.

Quote from Day 1 at WBA: "You can lose key players and you need to be on your guard"

Link?

He's made a mistake here. He can't maintain or build a defence and he's inheriting nothing special defensively in WBA. He'll not get much magic from Rondon up the other end, either! Oof, this will be painful/orgasmic very quickly.

awesome

Nailed it.

Spurs, Watford, Brighton, Wba draw

Ashley is a bit Trump-y IMO based on his power drinking escapades. He'll want to "win" the deal, which means getting full price for a duffer asset. Reckon he'll want whatever the magic number in his head is, but will be overjoyed for the club to fester before he pulls the trigger and accepts any offer.

Assuming Staveley is going to be personally involved as has been reported, at least she's a proper fucking businesswoman rather than a self-confessed pisshead. Ahem, the legal documents say "powerdrinker" thank you very much.

Stick: definite ceiling (with the potential and probability for the continued dicking over of the fans, values and heritage of the club). Twist: maybe the same, but not definite. Easy choice IMO.

People are overly comfy with their well worn narratives IMO. To never be accused of bottling, they'd have to never lose another game. Get beat by another top side, hah bottlers. Don't finish off a minnow one time in fifteen, hah bottlers. Well, nah they'd just have to actually win something Maybe if they didn’t have a history of crumbling to bits under pressure, the narrative wouldn’t exist. This is still a fairly young and new team so pointing back to past sides' failures is just Martin Keown level punditry tbh . They may win something yet. There are finite trophies and other good teams though. Last season they lost to Chelsea and Liverpool in the cup competitions, and won 36 of the last 39 points available to them in the league. Hardly congruous with a team of bottlers. If Man City go on to a domestic clean sweep this year, that won't make Spurs bottlers - it'll just make them not as good as Man City. I mean, jesus man. Losing to Chelsea and Liverpool in cup competitions only goes to prove my point further, that they buckle under pressure. They came 3rd in a 2 horse title race. They continue to lose games away to their competitors with a wimper. They continue to do well, up until there is the slightest bit of pressue on them. Man City probably will win the league and it will evidence that Man City are better, but why cant Tottenham win either cup this year? They wont, because of the above, but they should. They're bottlers if you believe they're outright better than Chelsea or Liverpool. They're not though. They're capable of beating each other on a given day and a two match sample size (that selectively excludes Spurs recently beating Real Madrid in a crucial game, I should add, plus all other banana skin games) is not sufficient to call them bottlers. The only reason you call them bottlers instead of, say, last season's trophyless Man City is because of a club reputation which is irrelevant in any meaningful way to this present team. Also Spurs finished 2nd, not 3rd.

Came in to post pretty much this. Can't think of an active manager that I hate more than Coleman, quality fit.

Great title Disco

Wasted on 2-1 Chelsea.

Shane Ferguson plays for their next opponents Millwall apparently
