Well can I just say. I think West Ham have acted swiftly and very professionally here.

“You can think what you like! You don’t want to have an opinion. You asked and I gave you my answer mate. No comment.”

I could somehow accept losing to Liverpool. It would be expected. Losing to Spurs just doesn’t bear thinking about. I’ve got too many mates who support them and all the ‘Spursy’ stuff would be relentless 1-0 isn’t a big enough lead to take to Anfield, mind.

Not sure I’d go that far with my stake. But I don’t think a one goal lead to take to Anfield is enough for Spurs.

I thought he seemed off in real time and also on the first look at it. But it is a farce that it takes so long and it’s always based on dodgy camera angles and shit quality.

Not quite the same as the NFL need to get the hand signals involved.

Offside. Video footage from a Nokia 3310.

Surely fucking not? Genuinely worried one of his legs might fall off.

He does some great analysis pieces like this. But he’s always painfully unfunny and annoying. Beats Wallcott and Redknapp, I suppose

Spurs games are crap when they actually defend well and don’t go full house and send everyone forward

Carrying on from the other day when we were talking about keepers and their questionable heights. This new Spurs keeper does not look 6 3”? Seems tiny in the goal.

Kurt Leyland.

People should stop reading into Howe’s comments in the media regarding players, injuries, lineups, transfers etc. Remember when Barnes was doing his medical and he denied knowing anything about the deal being close or complete?! He’d be a great poker player

Did he? I thought it was Willock, Botman and Isak? In that case rest him and play one of the kids.

I'd play Murphy. He regularly just plays 60 minutes. I'm not sure we're going to change the entire XI, either. Have Sanusi on the bench. As he was showing glimpses in pre-season. No idea what he's been like for the U21's since.

I don't even see the point in playing Almiron. He has been that bad the last few appearances and is clearly no longer part of our plans. Along with any possibility of injury. It seems a bit of a waste.

He looked horrendous against Arsenal, I thought. But that is only one game.

PSG signing him but wanted to save on the private jet and chauffeur?

As I have said over and over again and I haven't really heard or seen it discussed. Does intent even need to come into it here? It's reckless and 'out of control', no? Two that come straight to mind. Probably because they were involving Liverpool in big games, so the media went on about it for weeks after. Mane when he got sent off against City for accidentally catching Ederson in the head. Jones away at Spurs last season in THAT game when Diaz got ruled offside when he was on by about 5 yards. Neither were deliberate acts. But both dangerous and serious foul play. Which I think this one fell under and not violent conduct. The fact he quite clearly tries to do Schar is actually irrelevant, no? Still not having he didn't mean it, nobody knows, it's accidental etc. Barely ever happens in games. Players are always hurdling out the way or avoiding treading on people. Can't remember the last time I saw something like this. You're telling me an elite sportsman, that must have an outrageous reaction time can't avoid stamping/treading on a player (twice) after three steps beforehand. Absolute nonsense.

He rolls his left ankle by reaching with his left leg to land on Schar. Then when he successfully stamps on him, his ankle rolls.

I had the misfortune of hearing him on Talksport once. He was like a poundshop Jordan. Seemed to spend the 10-15 minute segment between the adverts waffling on about nothing relevant and shoehorning in big/buzz words to make him seem like he had a clue. To then finally get to his very basic point that should have taken a minute or two to explain. I quite like that social media types, with high level analysis are now starting to get a voice and a platform in mainstream media. Especially considering how bad a lot of the ex-pros are. But cunts like this can go and boil their head as far as I'm concerned.

My mate took his Grandkids to the PSG game. 500 mile round trip. They just told the school in the end and got away with it. As one of them kept going on about it all the while for weeks before

You seem very passionate about adding up, Abacus.

The Sterling at Man City run. I don't mean cutting about the pitch like Velma from Scooby Doo. But that late back post run and gambling on stuff like last night.

I don't want to overreact. But if that Rory fella was drowning. I'd throw him a bag of cement.
