  1. Thought I'd made top 4 until I realised I'd put the 3-1 as a Leeds win rather than a Spurs one. Well done Magpie! Well done all.
  2. Definitely a ton of talent in those relegated teams this time around: Gnoto Rodrigo Sinisterra Harrison Lavia Maitland-Niles Salisu Livramento Maddison Barnes All either have potential, quality, or could do a back up job.
  3. At one point today it was perfect. Us in 3rd, Leeds and Everton down. It was obvious what was going to happen as soon as Mitrovic missed that pen
  4. Impressive. Would have been amazing had that shot gone in.
  5. We win that match 5-1 if it's in October
  6. It's definitely harsh, but also a measure of how good the season's been that the most disappointing player is one that just didn't play rather than one that was poor.
  7. For posterity Dubravka: 7 Trippier: 5 Schär: 6.5 Botman: 7 Targett: 5 Bruno: 6.5 Gordon: 7 Anderson: 6 Almiron: 4.5 Isak: 7 ASM: 7.5 Miley: 7 Wilson: 6 Burn: 5
  8. Player of the Season: Joelinton Most Improved Player of the Season: Almiron Most Disappointing Player: Fraser Signing of the Season: Pope Goal of the Season: Longstaff 2nd vs Southampton Assist of the season: Tie between Isak and Willock Game of the Season: 2-0 vs Man Utd Moment of the Season: Wilsons 3-1 goal vs Brighton Manager rating out of 10: 10 Season rating out of 10: 10
  9. Hadn't realised I'd logged into Facebook. Fucking shut up man.
  10. Slightly disappointed that we didn't secure 3rd place away to mid-table Chelsea having already secured Champions League football with a match to go. What a season.
  11. Would consider putting Isak on the right and taking Miggy off for Wilson.
  12. Only disappointment is that we're not like 4 or 5 nil up. This lot are absolutely shite, one of the most tactically inept teams we've played this season. Miggy should have had a hattrick.
  13. I fucking hate Chelsea. We better beat these cunts
  14. Having a pen saved by de Gea is unforgivable

    Joelinton

    Well overdue, he's fucking class.
  16. If everyone's a hypocrite, how can you or anyone ever criticise anything and how can anything ever get better? Yes, we're all hypocrites in some way, largely because it's nigh on impossible to live your life without being one on some level, but unless it's egregious that shouldn't ever be a reason to point out how things could be better. It's the same old tired 'yet you live in a society, curious!' point. The individualisation of systemic problems and saying 'oh well If you don't like it, why don't you make a change in yourself?' is there to misdirect you away from the companies and ultra-rich who are huge cogs in a system designed to benefit them at all of our expense. Whether it's not littering, recycling, your carbon footprint, electric cars or a whole host of other things, it's all bullshit that they know doesn't even scrape the surface and wouldn't even if everyone did it. You're making their argument for them while they're ripping you and everyone off to your face and robbing our children and grandchildren of their futures. Criticising what our owners do is fair game, they're not untouchable or immune to criticism and everyone is entitled to their opinion. If, as is often said "they're just like us" then there's no reason they can't be criticised like the rest of us. There's absolutely nothing wrong with pointing out that donating to the Tories then to the food banks they've created is them having their cake and eating it. There's nothing wrong with saying that them turning that charity into a game is crass. Reaping the benefits of funding the problem then reaping the benefits (through tax and PR) of donating to the charities the problems they've funded have created. It's not rocket science, it's a tale as old as time. There's nothing wrong with criticising that and not wanting that. Whether it's our owners doing it or any other company or 1%er is irrelevant really, the problem is that anyone can do it, not just them. Of course they'll vote in their interests, it's no surprise they're voting in their class interests. I just wish the working class would and stop excusing this bollocks, but that's another point really. What I do think is pure cognitive dissonance though is getting all smitten over how Staveley and co are apparently selfless and charitable, but then immediately turning around and saying 'well of course they donate in their own interests!' when their Tory party donations are pointed out.
  17. Mourinho's easier to like when he's outside of the PL. It had worn extremely thin when he was at Man United, not so much Spurs. Klopp's on the same path.
  18. Signing a player for a position they just spent £107m on filling 4 months ago. Would be typical Chelsea.
  19. Arsenal 2-0 Wolves (double) Villa 1-1 Brighton Brentford 0-2 Man City Chelsea 1-2 Newcastle Palace 2-1 Forest Everton 2-1 Bournemouth Leeds 3-1 Spurs Leicester 2-1 West Ham Man United 2-0 Fulham Southampton 1-2 Liverpool
  20. Enzo still looks quality to me, as he should like.
