Colos Short and Curlies

a yard to his left and he’s won goal of the season tonight. That was an epic breakaway

Isak looking very much the sexual predator in the photo. and I’m calling it now, the game in which Murphy scores he’s going to completely deadpan the photo.

That’s basically a game where West Ham lose a point with their goal difference now worse than Leicester. as much as I’d love Everton to drop I’m very open to the idea of West Ham dropping and letting FFP fuck over Everton next year

Basically 4 ahead of spurs with a game in hand and then still to come to SJP. win that one and I don’t see them winning 2 and drawing 1 more than us from their other 8 games especially as we have the safety net of an additional game

Should have stuck a tenner on it

Turn the question on its head - would Eddie have been able to do what he has here anywhere else? there’s definitely a bit of right man right place right time going on here

Lampard back to Chelsea until the summer is my guess.

We all know Leicester will try and reappoint Pearson if Rogers leaves

No surprises at all in these, a loss of around £70m was mentioned a few months ago. this years will be more interesting when they come out next Spring but they are still very much in the investment/infrastructure phase and another loss will be expected.

There's only one player who you would 100% not like to see on the pitch at any point in the game there

of course not! it was a peach of a diving header mind, just cleared his own cross bar?

My 5 yr old had his first experience of 'heading' a ball at the weekend when a loose ball in training went awry. He was pretty upset, both in shock but also because he thought you weren't allowed to head the ball in football. Showed him Bruno's goal vs Leicester and he is now both chuffed that has headed a ball and also in love with Bruno.

In the MA thread suggestions he may be fit - and it is a potential bench - if not this week then maybe next

Potential subs bench on Sunday Dubs Targett Lascelles Ritchie Almiron ASM Gordon Wilson Anderson Spot the odd man out

make it 7 and give them a negative gd

They've got a huge decision to make with Kane this summer. Do the unpopular and sell him for £80m-£100m and have cash to rebuild/reshape or hang on for another year and be in the position where they potentially have to replace him with no incoming funds. The problem this summer is a lack of buyers. Man U maybe, Bayern possibly but very little else to drive any sort of price war

100%, if Gordon and ASM aren't starting then it should be Big Joe, Bruno and Longstaff in the middle with Murphy and Little Joe out wide. If Gordon/ASM come into the left then Longstaff takes a breather on the bench and little Joe into the middle

He's only on loan at Brighton isn't he?

I know ‘if my aunt had bollocks she’d be my uncle’ and that, but.. IF we win our games in hand and beat spurs they are 7 behind us. With them still playing Brighton, Liverpool, Man U and even Everton away next I don’t see them winning 3 more games than us from their remaining 9

Don't know why but love his little celebration strut

Spurs are a bit of a anomaly in the 'Big 6' in that their transfer policy leans more towards a project type manager than the rest do (perhaps Arsenal as well). Potter would have (will do) well at Spurs but will never achieve the same level at Chelsea as he did at Brighton - when putting the ambitions of the two clubs side by side. Frank may also struggle at a Chelsea/Man U / Liverpool / City level due to the level of player he is dealing with and the different approach needed to get the most out of them compared to what he has at Brentford. I dare say he would also do a great job at Spurs and would definitely succeed at Villa or Us. Longer than needed way of saying managing a 'big 6' club is a completely different job to the rest of the league

it’s the intricate football, intense close control then as soon as he is 5 yards out the square button gets fully depressed and a totally unnecessary thunderbastard of a finish. love the crazy bastard

it’s basically like they asked Steve McLaren to write it

theres no way that 11 kept a clean sheet
