Dave Mackay I presume. Graham Roberts wouldn’t be too far off.

We have so many players available for the Saudis

Nope. Kudus to West Ham though.

It’s interesting reading all the above in the Youth thread and then: …in here. You cannot have it both ways, lads

Tend to be on the individual clubs’ sites. Twitter has the goals from this weekend’s game if you want me to link them.

The speed up is mint.

When you came out of your mother’s womb, Mike, like everyone else.

Was gonna say. Next step is leaving the atmosphere.

Everton tale as old as time.

I was hoping so but thought they looked decent for a lot of that first game. Guess there’s still hope.

Yeah, there really is. Sadly

Not sure why Shearer et al are so vehemently defending McAllister either. I mean, as the Bournemouth manager implied it felt like an orange card - could have gone either way. Ultimately he full-on studs the guy in the shin.

We did it by playing the Conte/Mourinho way and having Son and Kane. Not complicated . I suspect we might have have actually got into their heads too. It won’t happen this year.

Finally watching Match of the Day. Any particular reason why Alisson wasn’t sent off at 1-0 and Szoboszlai wasn’t booked for diving for the penalty?

We’ll be fine once we have a striker too.

I was thinking about this and in all seriousness I realized the last four Man U players I liked were Eriksen, Berba, Carrick and Sheringham

That turned around quickly

Spurs are losing Pape Matar Sarr as well, which is very significant alongside Bissouma.

Lolz re: Levy. I think that would be extraordinarily unlikely. Range of predictions from Spurs fans generally seems to be anywhere from 4th to 8th. Ange has had a truncated pre-season and his best player sold, plus a significant amount of squad turmoil that is ongoing, with a couple of glaring issues. Promising beginnings, but it’s going to take a while and we’re going to concede a fair few. Likely top 9 is (in no order) Man City, Arse, Man U, Newcastle, Liverpool, Chelsea, Brighton, Villa, Spurs. Then a couple that might break in (West Ham? Brentford?). Of those, Arse and you guys are in the ascendancy and City are in pole position. Man U, Liverpool and Chelsea are curate’s eggs - who knows how they will settle out? Villa have Europe now and have already picked up a couple of injuries. Brighton have sold a lot of players but should do well again. IMO it’s wide open. AFCON, injuries and Europe will have a dramatic effect, just waits to be seen on who.

Number one - get as much deadwood as possible out. Ideally sell but probably loan. Lloris will go (supposedly to Lazio), Hojberg will probably go to generate money although that leaves us thin at CM during the AFCON. Reguilon maybe gone to Spain if any Spanish clubs have money hidden behind the sofa. Ndombele will go to Saudi Arabia for £100M ?. Spence might get a loan somewhere. Then the other borderline guys at CB. Sanchez seemed on the way out but has had a good preseason and first game. Dier looks to be on his way out. Tanganga may go although his homegrown-ness might save him. That’s a ton of work there and realistically we need to ship out at least half-a-dozen. That will influence… Number two: The needs. Seems like whatever happens we will get a CF in. Might be Gift Orban but the money being quoted is steep. Whatever we do here I’d be amazed if we don’t try for Toney in January. CM if Hojberg goes. We’re going to be missing Sarr and Bissouma for the AFCON, and while Bentancur is expected back in November there are no guarantees. CB. If two out of Sanchez, Dier and Tanganga go I’d expect one CB in.

They think it’s the Endo.

Nice.

Getting older, coming back from injury maybe a touch early. Also the general standard has improved around her. She used to stand out a mile.

It’s like Keegans Export says. Nothing’s changed. People who are OK with the whole thing will be OK, people who are not OK won’t. Oppo fans who just want an excuse to jab will use it an an excuse to jab. I guess the only real issue is that it might give people who are very conflicted a bit of a nudge. No point worrying too much about optics at this stage.

More importantly, because it’s artificial grass the fee is amortised over a hundred years.
