  1. He would have been sold within two years, anyway. What is the purpose? Chelsea have been complete rubbish since about the twentieth minute of this match.
  2. Leicester are such a waste. I thought they were the better side today, but they miss chances, Vardy never involved, and make silly errors at the back. Should have won today and against Bournemouth, imo. Should have made top four, frankly. Bournemouth and Watford will need to have massive clearouts this summer.
  3. It looks like Osimhen to Napoli is finally set to be completed today. For 60 million euro, potentially 80 million with bonuses. The fee is crazy for only one season in Ligue 1, but the player is brilliant, imo. Think he will do very well. Given the high fee, I wonder if this means Napoli are already anticipating selling Koulibaly for an even higher amount. Edit: Wolfsburg must be sick about how this turned out. The best player at the u-17 World Cup joins their club, struggles for injury and form, is dumped to Belgium for nothing at age 19 and is the most expensive African player in history by he time he is 21. A complete waste for them.
  4. I don't think it is actually relevant if Man U draw or win here in terms of fourth. Either way, any win on Sunday sends Leicester to the CL.
  5. They played Man Utd about 3 seasons running in the CL back in the day so it’s probably that. Most likely, yeah. Did they have one or two deep runs in the CL around the time that Porto won it? Feels like a lifetime ago. EDIT: Just watched some incredibly low-quality highlight reels. What a fucking player he was. Porto beat them in the semis when they won. They played us in the quarters before. It was the second round, not the quarters. I specifically remember an atrocious error from Howard and Mourinho wildly celebrating.
  6. Still very much alive, tbf. If Villa and Watford lose, any win, regardless of score, and they are safe.
  7. Don't think they've got any defensive alternatives Fair enough, I thought they at least had Fuchs on the bench and could play a back four. Maybe just poor squad planning. Bennett and Morgan do not suit the way Leicester look to play at all.
  8. Playing three slow, plodding, 30+ centrebacks vs. against a pacy counter-attacking side like Tottenham seems like really poor tactics. The wingbacks are not in the match at all defensively and the back three cannot cope at all. What a goal by Kane.
  9. I like Fulham, still have a affection for Mitrovic, tbh, and Craven Cottage has been an easily attainable ticket and enjoyable experience when I've been to London.
  10. I am sure I have been involved with discussions about this on here before, but there is no chance the technology is advanced and consistent enough to be adjudicating at such a small margin, given the various factors that go into offside decisions.
  11. Nketiah red card vs. Leicester is the only one I can recall, but it should be for every VAR decision other than probably offside.
  12. Did it get reviewed? I do not think play after stopped after this until the goal, and it seemed like everyone forgot about it. Palace didn't really even protest. Yes said on the commentary VAR reviewed it. Palace didn't protest because it wasn't a pen. Partisan blindness is an illness, imo. Fwiw, if it was given as a penalty on the pitch, there is no chance whatsoever it would be reversed, Lindelöf clearly goes through Zaha's leg, even if he may simultaneously have the slightest touch of the ball (I personally do not agree he got the ball). Given the decisions we have seen recently, it is bizarre the match did not at least stop for a review.

  14. It is just social media. We live in an era where men regularly harass random women with photos of their dick and people really want to act shocked and hurt that someone used a bad word in a DM towards a public figure? You could have mythical "non-racist" leaders in every country and this will still happen. Namely because the country leader is irrelevant to this trend and secondly because social media does not function in a way similar to any other part of public life.
  15. Don't understand why Rodgers didn't bring on another attacking player if he was going to take Iheanacho off, they were incredibly dominant and were due a second goal, but seem to have handed the initiative since half-time. Schmeichel awful for both goals, of course.
  16. fyp He's so bad man, and cost nearly double the amount. Loses the ball every single time. Pepe is a weird wide player because he cannot dribble at all. The guy has a sweet left foot, and is very good at cutting inside and shooting and taking set pieces, but that is really it. His pace is average and he doesn't beat his man. I think he can be a productive player in England, but will never be a prototypical player on the right for a team like Arsenal. Good win for Spurs, but Kane still looks really poor, imo. If this is the player they have for the future, Spurs will continue to struggle with their attack.
  17. He favours a physically dominant centreback and that is the closest they seem to have at the moment. I do not rate him either, but Spurs could replace their entire defense, tbh, all poor. The Belgians have declined and the other players are erratic or just average. They have had very poor recruitment generally for a while now.
  18. Spurs have to be sick of VAR. Apparently it can rule goals out for the slightest unintentional contact of an arm to the ball, but cannot see blatant pushes in the box.
  19. VAR+handball and offsides rules are seriously diminishing my enjoyment of this sport. So many goals we spend 2 minutes looking at incredibly marginal slow-motion replays that barely affect the play.
  20. If Nigeria had a half decent football association that could convince these guys to play for the national team we would have some real promise. Abraham, Ihenacho, Saka and Iwobi would be a nice young front line. Oh well ... Osimhen and Chukwueze are better than all of those except probably Saka. We don't need to beg the English boys. Iwobi is not "shit" because history says he is a good footballer, but he has been rubbish for a good while and is miscast as a wide player at this point.
  21. Arsenal far superior, but Leicester's goal looked legitimate to me. Don't believe there was a foul.
  22. The football has not "dropped off". They have been atrocious since early 2019 and had won 6 of their 24 previous league matches when Pochettino was sacked. They need to refresh the team.
  23. I feel like Palace are consistently complete rubbish whenever I see them play under Hodgson, yet they are always comfortably above the relegation zone. It's an achievement, I suppose. He definitely needed the tap-in, had been awful in this match beforehand.
  24. Two rubbish players, neither of whom pronounce their surname properly. Agreed that their recruitment has been extremely poor. Very disappointed in Lerma, thought he was a talent at Levante and flashed some talent last season, but guy has been complete rubbish recently. After five years, all of the players, with the exception of Ake, King, and possibly Brooks, will not look out of place in the Championship. A team should not have overachieve after this many seasons at the top level. New rule I would propose: if one team leads by 3 goals, two extra substitutions are allowed. Over Festive period, five subs per match as well.
