    2023/24 - The Race For..................

    The cycles of football are funny. Based on last year who would predict that the Premier League teams would do so poorly. After all, the PL gave us the Champions of Europe, lead by a generational manager, playing football from another planet, and you’d surely have backed them to win everything...

    Player Watch Player Watch: Timo Werner

    Leipzig I'll give you, but Chelsea's decision making isn't something we should be considering here - when Werner was there they won the CL and were crowned the top club in the world. But now - a billion spent later - they're a mid table side being carried by one player doing dodgy accounting...

    Odegaard memes will never get old. Acting like you’re already on the open top bus in.. checks notes..February.

    Player Watch Player Watch: Timo Werner

    Werner is what he is, think his first chance against Newcastle was much trickier than he's getting credit for though. Getting him on loan again would be a smart move in my opinion. The 'would Werner be in the squad of teams that want to win things' arguments aren't great considering he's...

    Arsenal

    Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta, speaking to a media conference ahead of facing Bayern Munich in their Champions League quarter-final second leg tomorrow, on the fitness of Martin Odegaard and Bukayo Saka ahead of the game: "Obviously we had only less than 48 hours to recover for the game and we've...

    Manager Watch: Ange Postecoglou

    He wasn't a club legend and he isn't a good example of fans buying into the manager, it's a good example of the upper management sticking with a course of action in the face of pressure. He'd have been toast if they followed the fan voice.

    Manager Watch: Ange Postecoglou

    Subjective arguments about relative team strength, and fatigue (and the average working week??) aside.. the facts are: Season before Klopp's arrival, Liverpool finished 6th - so if we conveniently ignore Klopp's 8th place where he only managed a 'mere' 30 games, as you want to, he then took...

    Manager Watch: Ange Postecoglou

    Top young players are really expensive these days.

    Manager Watch: Ange Postecoglou

    Yeah, and that had nothing to do with his age and everything to do with his approach to football - you seem to be about the only poster fixated on how old Ange is. Redknapp was in his mid-60s with us, and played some of the most enjoyable football we'd seen for years, AVB was in his mid-30s and...

    Manager Watch: Ange Postecoglou

    I don't think Ange is every going to win a CV battle with those coaches - although you're pushing it with Cone Boy who is more of an advert for taking a risk on the unproven (and then giving him loads of time and an oil tanker of money). Despite his age, which you keep going on about, he's more...

    Premier League 2023/2024

    If they had to take some of the pummelling our fanbase has been through they wouldn’t have any fans left, they’d probably have just folded the club after Lasagnagate. You wouldn’t want to share a foxhole with a gooner would you?

    Manager Watch: Ange Postecoglou

    You’re really determined to ignore that first season aren’t you, yet Klopp had an extra six months of work to where we are with Ange.

    Manager Watch: Ange Postecoglou

    First 10 games we were getting fouled all over the shop because we were one step quicker than the other team. Lately we’ve often been at least one step slower - however in the patches where we raise the intensity, we look good again (i.e. blasting Villa out of sight). A lot of this has got to...

    Alejandro "Álex" Baena Rodríguez

    Interesting how few links to 1 on 1 specialist dribbler wingers we have had since Ange arrived, compared to the amount of people calling for one. That's not to say it wouldn't be good to have, and we won't sign someone like that, but when you look at the efficiency of Johnson (who has had a...

    Player Watch Player Watch: Dejan Kulusevski

    He's proved his quality plenty of times, particularly in the big games against better teams where his strength on the ball is a huge asset. His form isn't good, but the idea of selling him is silly. He's also rarely injured, and can run for the full 100+ minutes of a typical premier league...

    Harry Kane

    Kane loves scoring against the goons and Tuchel knows how to win the CL so fingers crossed

    2023/24 - The Race For..................

    The West Ham draw in particular seems to have brought the fear and negativity out in a lot of people for some reason, even though it wasn't that bad a result. Utd are dogshit, they've scored as many goals as Brentford and Luton so far, they aren't going to finish in front of us.
