This is the crux of it like, gagging for some lad to impale an opposing player so that a full blown bloodbath takes place on the pitch. “Look, I don’t advocate violence, don’t go putting words in my mouth but I’m only saying what we’re all thinking, it was nice to see men being men out on the turf today”

Really good the game in this country has moved on from that sort of thing. It was incredibly reckless and dangerous play. Nothing manly about that nonsense at all.

Funny how all these hard men of the game, Souness, Keane etc make fucking shite managers isnt it? 

Yeah, it's not surprising. They are way too emotional, which is where all the angry outbursts come from. Some would even say that's not a very 'manly' trait, ironically.

Just now, Decky said:

 

But it still doesn't look good saying shite like that beside a woman who played the game and is now a pundit. Can see Souness being on less and less throughout the season and binned entirely shortly after. 

I mean they're commenting on the men's game ... I don't think it's a big deal, because it's not meant to be derogatory to women.

It was. Souness's whopper was you'll not win anything with the likes of Milner or Ambrose in your side, or words to that effect.

Ah, yes! A bunch of Milners was Souness 

It's so ironic because Milner ended up becoming such a great committed pro and leader. What Souness would likely refer to as a 'Real Man'

Souness wrote this the other day in a weird article slagging off Mings:

 

The difficulty for a manager is that he can’t say publicly all that he knows. I had very good captains. Ian Rush at Liverpool, Alan Shearer at Newcastle, Garry Flitcroft at Blackburn – proper men. But when Craig Bellamy was being difficult at Newcastle – we ended up squaring up in a meeting room – he was a hugely popular figure in that part of the world.

 

He's proper obsessed with men like

Come on man. It's cringey, but we all know what he means. 

Especially in that instance, he's just talking about having grown ups in the room. Bellamy acted like a stroppy little kid a lot.

Who did Alan Hansen manage?

Was it Hansen?

Said it whilst Karen Carney is next to him.

That sentiment really isn't about women. It's more about it not being a kid's game.

That's why sometimes you'll hear players in a sport say this is the Big Leagues, or a Grown Man's game.

Think there was even a manager that said you'll never win with a bunch of kids.

You really don't want players playing with anger. It is a lack of emotional self control and is a liability.

Anger is not akin to toughness or commitment like a lot of these old school guys think it is. Classic Souness.

Chelsea need a striker. 

Yes, absolutely. Tuchel is pushing for Aubameyang ... not sure that's the answer though.

Blatantly pulling his hair on the previous corner  

How wasn't it a free kick the other way after they looked at it?! Proper yanked him by the hair and threw him down. The disrespect

Tuchel and Conte really are fucking pathetic man

Such a nice result for Arsenal.

Broja on, Tuchel just teasing us at this point.

Yup

I find Havertz really annoying.

Nice of Tuchel to give our two signings a final run out to bid the club farewell.

So he was taking the piss out of Conte then.

Yup

Chelsea are much better today than I thought they would be. 

Think it's Spurs just bottling it man. Very unimpressed with them.

Was hi taking the piss out of Conte?

Went flying down the length of the touchline a la Muourinho

Tuchel

Could do with another goal to see what happens with the benches

What a ball by James! Havertz has to score there. Terrible miss. Still riled up from whining before.

I agree it's not the reason they conceded, a lot passed since then but they have every right to be angry, blatant foul

To be fair they even managed to get the ball back and then Jorginho started mucking about with it in his box, which was ridiculous.

Loved Conte celebrating right at Tuchel. Class

Just now, Geordie Ahmed said:

I assume they are angry about the tackle on Havertz, rightly so, looked a blatant foul

If they missed the foul they missed the foul. Get back and help your team and stop bitching. Serves them right. Hate that nonsense.

That Emerson Royal gets pushed around by everyone, even got knocked over by Cucurella a little while back.
