spurs title contenders?

 

[fourfarthing]

They laid an egg today.

Don’t worry. My Reds are thrashing Arse right now so Spurs fans have something to cheer about.

 

[Qhrumphf]

Someone musta played a prank and told Spurs the laws of the game were changed and it was now only a 60 min match.

Yuck.

I'm not sure what I want out of Pool/L'Arse.

 

[Qhrumphf]

A mate just wondered how long until the #EmeryOut planes are flying.

I hear Mourinho may be looking for work. I support it.

Shocker.

Ugh. Rough day. Spurs lose what should have been a gimme at home. To top it all off had to sit there with my Liverpool fan friend who went on and on and on about how Liverpool is the greatest team ever, Klopp is the man, etc. Ugh.

Wolves are 7th for a reason. They've been strong against the top 6. Only ones to beat them have been Spurs and Liverpool.

They're one of the best recently promoted sides in recent memory. I expect barring a drop in form they'll be staying up for a few years at least.

Point is, it was far from a gimme. There really aren't gimmes in the Prem these days.

But ultimately we dominated the first half. They came on the 2nd and Spurs fell asleep. We would have won otherwise.

 

[Qhrumphf]

I hate to say it, but classic Spursy.

True, Wolves are pretty good, but If I was a betting man I would have had my money on Spurs. I was counting that as a win, especially after the first goal, but you’re right, epl is tough this season..

Just what we need, the USMNT wanks to follow the one USMNT player who is both talented and not a dinosaur, and start supporting Chelski.

But I guess it's appropriate for fans with no history to support a club with no history.

I live here and now I’ll have to see all these dumb Chelsea jerseys everywhere atop the wide eyed newbies. For a guy who may ride the bench, no less...

 

[robdogj]

what a bunch of jealous ******* - one supports a side that can't score with a pocket full of money in a New Orleans Cathouse & the other remember the days of glory past. I will laugh at all you fools when you sides fail in the end like always. I will just remain the carefree CFC fan & enjoy the ride.

 

[jlinz]

If you are talking to me, I’m fine with Chelsea getting Pulisic. I don’t think he will be all that. Also looks to me like Chelsea can’t score today...

 

[Qhrumphf]

 

[Qhrumphf]

And Pulisic will undoubtedly have the BVB loan-back rolled into a new loan, right alongside the 50-odd other players Chelsea has bought and currently loaned out (in many cases with no intention to ever give first team minutes, I'm sure) just so that other teams can't have them.

Talk about pockets of cash in a cathouse...

 

[Qhrumphf]

Ok, Pulisic makes 42nd on loan.

But my point remains valid.

 

[robdogj]

looks like my job is done today - I got some rent free space in your domes

You're so vain you, you probably think this banter's about you

Gotta admit it's nice to have another American Hero playing for Chelsea - btw Qhrumpfht, is this you?

You could have used him on the pitch today rather than immediately loaning him back. Nobody else seems to be able to score.

True that, but it is what it is. We are just playing the oki-doke & then we will pick our moment to score - perhaps at Wembley vs spuds
btw any takers on a signature bet on who goes to the EFL Cup Final?

Thanks, but Liverpool is focused on the League.

The reason why L'pool is focused on the League & not the EFL Cup is because they couldn't stop the greatness of One Eden Hazard

Hope he is great on Real Madrid! Why do you think you went after Pulisic?

 

[Qhrumphf]

Ugh. WHY did Poch bring Kane on?

I get he's hungry.

But we're already thrashing a vastly inferior side based on nothing more than the gulf in quality, not even playing well.

We started to many of the starting XI as it is. Don't sub on ******* Harry Kane to rest Llorente!

 

[Qhrumphf]

We have too many matches right now that matter far more than the FA Cup. And a really shallow squad.

Play. The. Lads.

Some players need to run around a bit every game to keep their rhythm going. Guess Kane is like that. But, I agree, don’t risk injuring our only real striker!

 

[Qhrumphf]

If you're gonna play like a training session, do it in training.

Not when you have to worry about sh!te pitch or some National League hard lad making a reckless legbreaker tackle.

 

[jlinz]

Maybe Poch is trying to get fired so he can move to Man U, haha.
