It's not that bad in terms of cleaning. All it would take is a power washer. It's the fact it's not being cleaned that's the issue. In comparison to other top flight stadiums it's the pits. I mean, I haven't seen all the grounds up close so I wouldn't know, but sure, ours should be maintained better. Dirt on bricks is hardly disastrous though and I wouldn't go as far as to say the ground looks a state as a result (in general, at least).

I disagree, Perez has much better technique.

Managed only 1 full season in the Premier League since 2014; where he scored 11 in 35 for Burnley - decent but not spectacular. Since then he's been injured pretty much.

No chance. Perez is definitely a better finisher.

Etebo starting too, looked great in the World Cup, him.

Chelsea midfield is wank without Kante.

Bernardo is great, aye. One of nicest players to watch in the league imo.

Foden starting for City against Chelsea in the Charity Shield. Chelsea 11 looks pretty weak, mind - although I'm looking forward to watching Hudson-Odoi. Edit: Didn't know who 'Frello Filho' or 'Rodriquez Ledesma' were, but turns out it's Jorginho & Pedro, so not that weak

Man it's not that bad. It's a bit of weathering on some bricks.

Aye, as far as I can tell he's never been played at no.10 in his professional career, rather no.9 and occasionally on the wings. It's therefore unusual how so many are considering him an option for the no.10 position.

Most of the Spurs 11 are back training tomorrow. Given that their 11 has remained largely the same for a few years, I don't see any reason barring injuries why the majority of them won't start the game. Will be the tough game we expect it to be, but if we can start Shelvey, Kenedy, Dubravka & one of Muto or Rondon, I reckon we can take at least a point away.

For me, if we're to have Rondon, Muto & one of Gayle or Joselu, I'd actually go Joselu as he's a good option to bring in to help close games out. As limited as he is, he's quite dependable, combative and can be very good in the air. I'm not sure what use we would have for a player like Gayle if Muto is the player we're expecting.

I hate watching him play for us, that’s all. Yeah, nowt against Dwighty, but as a player I couldn't bare watching him for most of last season. Even more frustrating than Joselu for me given that he actually got himself into decent positions and completely wasted chances time after time with poor first touches and finishing. Just one of those players I never quite clicked with, which is rare because I tend to like most players who pull on our shirt. I always felt his head went down far too quickly too, but maybe it's just his natural demeanour and I'm getting him wrong.

Yeah I'm really excited for our game & seeing the new lads get their first run-outs at St James' despite the best efforts of our owner to zap the spirit and feel good factor from the club. That said I won't be buying tickets or anything else.

Much better towards the end there, Shelvey & Kenedy make a massive difference as we know. Add a few more of our better players like Dubravka and hopefully Muto/Rondon and I think we'll be fine. Ki looked great and will push Diame all the way, hopefully keeping Mo on his A game. It's also nice to know if Shelvey is out we have a playmaker to step in.

Dat header from Murphy tho

Ki & Jonjo with some nice football.

Pretty similar to Sunderland's winning goal earlier on.

No problem

Got a link? I can't see it on their youtube channel Get the Google Chrome extension called 'Touch VPN', set it to Germany and then use this youtube link:

Aye Ki's a baller.

Precautionary I reckon, came back on and looked fine tbh.

Neh he's sound.

How are you UK folk watching it? VPN? Fake email account? I gotta see me some of that 240p action.

Hopefully being protected for his imminent move to West Brom with Rondon coming the other way. The fucks Rafa twisting for then Massive Beatles fan iirc.
