Tiresias

How could they fail to now the mighty Fred is on the pitch

Lopetegui looks like a college professor with a hip record collection in the 70s hosting a shindig but is secretly just a massive perv on his students

Getting his customary injury scare in earlier than usual

Yeah hard to imagine he's not sacked soon

Mini Bruno seems unconcerned mega bruno is about to eat a massive cake face first or something

West Ham are weird, they have been excellent last few seasons despite expectations, something has completely unbalanced them. Maybe reversion to the norm, maybe some players were over performing, but also Rice now has to be involved with everything and a bit of me thinks they were better when he was defensice mid and Soucek was the one that wenf forward, the latter now drops deep to allow Rice to go forward and England's golden boy isn't actually as good. For the record I think Rice is excellent at many things but wonder if it's gone to his head somewhat.

Just seen the second Faes own goal hahahahaha, the first funny but basically unfortunate. The second, what the hell hahaha

TAA is excellent, and i don't buy that he can suddenly become a midfielder, he plays and knows a position. But the idea that there's some linear this right back is better than this right back is complete nonsense. If you want a right back who can put in crosses, there's probably none better. If you want a right back who can defend Tripps is excellent (as has been Walker). A fit Reece James feels arguably preferable too seemed to have less total defensive lapses. But because he plays for liverpool he has to have a total wank fest about him rather than a reasonable discussion of his actual attributes. He is a mighty fine player, and if England wanted to go all out attack a fine choice for england right back, and it perfectly fine for liverpool to want to play that way. But the idea that it is easy to make him ranked better than Tripps? Hmmm. Hmmmm.

Christ do you need to get the lawyers in??? And yes i guess all dignity has gone out the window, what a cunt

have some dignity and retire...

i am a bit sus of Tielemans but he has scored some crazy goals and been huge in past so will trust in our team if that is true (not sure it is, and not sure leicester would entertain strengthening us so much) but say it happens it does give us some exciting options so against a team we should beat we can field (assuming we keep with 4-3-3 which is fine by me) ASM Wilson/Isak Miggy Maddison Tielemans Bruno or Maddison Wilson/Isak Miggy Bruno Joelinton Tielemans against a difficult team we need to do some containing Big Joe Wilson/Isak Miggy Maddison Tielemans Bruno Suddenly there are a lot of options basically would be exciting, equally if Isak is an option on right as well gives us chance to rotate out Miggy but that assumes Isak ever isn't injured

It's amazing how the transfer has already been declared a masterstroke when they've just signed someone who did ok at the world cup. Now I am sure he is highly rated for a reason and may well do very well, but been plenty of highly rated flops too, I don't think other teams should be crushed in disappointment they didn't get him. (watch him be better than Salah now)

Indeed, it's not that he's wrong it's just he's not at a poor club who can't afford to compete, in his brain he thinks he's at Brighton himself or something

I know I've been trying to achieve this but I keep having to actually do things

Picking Nick Pope above Allison and Ederson haha although he does draw the line at picking dan burn ahead of thiago silva

Weirdly the best thing about D Ferguson was his weird managerial partnership with Ancelotti because it was such a perfect ITV detective duo, the cultured wine drinking european detective and the reluctant glaswegian hard copper who misses just being on the beat and together they chase down serial killers all over merseyside

RIP

Tielemans could be excellent but that leicester teams mentality has to be questioned a bit? Their midfield looked weak as piss. Would definitely take though if our scouts reckon he's a good egg. Jorginho may make some sense in that bring in a veteran that sometimes helps teams but can't see us paying his wages. He would bring some slow possession keeping to take sting out of games

That Nketiah goal was mint too

Saka is so good man. Why did southgate sub him off...

It is a bit he can't keep getting away with this meme i still think teams are underestimating us and pushing up in a way they wouldn't against man city or Liverpool, and sorry miggy is better than grealish or nunez lawl (right now)

Coverage was fine in terms of content for me, sometimes their experts choice has been somewhat suspect (gabby agbonlahor doing villa liverpool and he's a total melt whenever I hear him) and yes interviews after were great, Tripps coming over and talking to them after excellent

He's also somehow yet to be booked in the premier league

Has it all, reads the game beautifully, could outmuscle a rhino and can play it out from the back. The fears of his slowness also seem daft he is always just there.

No idea if these fuckers are any good they seem to get mad results but they are energetic and have quick players so have to be careful on break but they also can't defend so shouldn't really threaten us. 4-0
