I have a good friend who is a Spurs fan, I absolutely can wish for them to go down

Oh well. Let's get Spurs relegated and Arsenal pumped by PSG to have something worth holding on to out of this shitter of a season

Choreographed set piece bundles with a side of VAR baiting while the lego headed nonce constantly gesticulates angrily from on the actual touchline , what even is this sport

Honestly what is the point. Blatant red

Never ever a penalty, still shocked they did not give it though

Not sure there's much point posting right now as everything has been said and repeated a thousand times, but I'm still very firmly in the awful result/s, poor season, right manager camp. I think the broader picture gets lost in the noise. This is a squad that won its first major trophy in 70 years last March, qualified for the Champions League again, and then got absolutely ratfucked in the summer by the Isak situation. Howe has to take some blame on the recruitment. He was seemingly more involved than ever but I don't think anyone could have foreseen what an absolute disaster the Wissa signing has been. On paper, we were paying £55m for a guy who just scored 20 goals in the Premier League, a proven forward. Instead he turns up injured doesn't kick a ball until December, then looks like a lazy shadow of his former self and has managed two league goals in 700+ minutes? It's been a complete shitshow. You can question the fee paid and possibly the due diligence on his fitness, fair enough, but the logic of the signing was sound in my opinion. If he had contributed even half of the goals that he managed last season at Brentford, which seems a not unreasonable expectation, we would be in a somewhat healthier spot.

Agree the new format is total shite, just diluting the stakes so all the big clubs can sleepwalk into the final stages, can't be having another Porto v Monaco final in this day and age.

They are also almost certainly on all the juice going, which helps too

Are you familiar with the term "laughter is the best medicine"?

Yet again feeling massively deflated after what was an amazing effort. The extra minute of stoppage time was hardly erroneous given we made the sub on 90 mins, only ourselves to blame for not seeing that out.

Had enough of this cous cous nonce against us tbh

As someone living in Galway, I would say that if you do go to Ireland just avoid Dublin altogether, it's a bit of a dump and really not got a lot going for it compared to most other European capital cities, as above it's also absurdly expensive (as is everywhere in Ireland generally these days) - I would suggest flying in to Shannon or Cork instead if possible. The whole west coast of Ireland is fairly amazing but I would not try to do too much in 7 days, try not to be like an American tourist and do 20 places in 5 days, you are also a total hostage to fortune with the weather and that can make or break the trip if you want to do stuff outdoors. Sligo (especially the north of the county) is worth checking out if you want to get off the typical tourist trail of Cork-Kerry-Clare-Galway etc.
