That's Brereton Diaz-level shithousery. I think there was more commentary on Schär and the "dark arts" than on Rogers' simulation. "Oh, look Schär's holding onto his shirt behind his back. Out of sight of the referee. Very clever..." Edit: see that Skeletor beat me out on bringing up that Southampton bastard. (Schär must drive opponents out of their minds.)

Sorry.

Rewatched the first half. Don't see how anyone could think that Villa were on top or likely winners before the red.

This.

Howe didn't play Hall all of last season. Gordon wasn't a starter from the off. Doesn't mean a thing.

That hair.

I think the only team you don't want in the semis is Liverpool. We're not likely to beat them over two legs. We have a decent shot against the other three. Personally, I want Arsenal in the semis. Liverpool in the final.

ewww

he's Brazilan now

cmon spurs, do something spursy

yes, but friendlies aren't meaningless anymore

Anything come from that? Don't see that he was carded.

Are we really going to play Chelsea away on the 27th and home on the 29th?

Is there a site or report that examines the accuracy of Transfermarkt's player valuations? They've got Guehi at 38 million euros.

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=A5UHYI1vnqM Love how both Trippier and Schär are almost immediately reminding everyone to remain focused after the equalizer.

Assume there's no chance of a loan to a side in Turkey.

Is Hummels completely past it? I guess he's off to Roma.

They "won the passing" Decent article at the Athletic about Joelinton's role in the win. https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5739125/2024/09/02/joelinton-newcastle-tottenham-premier-league/?source=user_shared_article

Tonali and Barnes will start.

Was expecting Trippier to come on. Not necessarily for Tino. We could've used him in the second half

Just thought to myself, I think I hate Liverpool more than I hate Man United.

Wow. Suddenly this is looking like a decent summer window. A-

No agree with this at all. Or not all of it. - We are a long way from the ultra-defensive shithousery that characterized our play when he first arrived. We changed our style to match the talent available. We went from surrending the second or third least goals in one season to near top scorers the next. - He has integrated top quality players rather quickly. Tonali, for example, went straight in -- when signed and when he returned. Sure Gordon took a while and Bruno was a sub for something like 4 games when he arrived? Were Isak, Pope, Botman, Barnes, and Trippier struggling to get into the side? - Don't know anything about what is going on behind the scenes, and neither does anyone else. Maybe he's right about that (maybe), but he certainly has not been right about everything. Not by a long shot.

Just received an away top with Joelinton 7 on the back. I love it. I've regreted for years that I didn't get a shirt with Laurent Robert's number on it. 20 years now.
