Jasdevi087: Premier League predictions

Jasdevi087 08.02.19	comment if you watch rugby
SlothcoreSam 08.02.19	Yeah The Ashes are on aren't they? England 3-1 Rugby world Cup ain't far off either. NZ got that. Premier League 1.Liverpool 2. Arsenal 3. Man City 4. Man U 5. Chelsea 6. Tottenham 7. Shef Utd. 8. Everton 18. Burnley 19. B.h.a 20. Norwich
Jasdevi087 08.02.19	fam if the blades finish 7th I'll buy the club
SlothcoreSam 08.02.19	Haha, I'm going out on a limb with that one. You always need a good underdog story.
ramon. 08.02.19	that southampton home kit is some fresh yikes
Deez 08.02.19	This well finish second (Liverpool) but further away than last season and closer to Spurs in 3rd than first. Origi is a legend for how he ended teh season but hes still simply not good enough to have to fill in for 5 plus games in salah/Bobby,Mane are injured which we got away with last season and brewsters a kid but IF we get Ox,Keita,Gomez back injury free this season the squads not as light as people think. Still surprised we didnt get Fekir for half price. Clearly Klopp felt we needed a 10 last season. Arsenal have done good business but will still be shite at the back. Spurs could probably do with another forward too but Top 6 1-City 2-Liverpool 3-Spurs 4-Arsenal 5-Utd 6-Chelsea 7-Leicester 8-Wolves Bottom 3 Norwich,Brighton,Villa
Pheromone 08.02.19	The optimist in me says Spurs 2nd but realistically we're getting 3rd unless we sign Lo Celso - if we lose Rose and Eriksen then we're out of the top 4, though. City'll win, I guess Liverpool second (though I think they overachieved like crazy last year); I think Villa will stay up for sure, I see Norwich, Brighton and Sheffield going down. The sooner this season starts the better, I'm fucking bored
Pheromone 08.02.19	There's been some good signings this window; Wan Bissaka, Haller, Pepe, NDombele, Everton's usual busy shtick. Seems a harder to predict season than the last
Deez 08.02.19	'though I think they overachieved like crazy last year' why? Best defence in Europe (23 goals) and Lost 1 game. Rode our luck a few times and a few decisions but no more or less than City. 'The sooner this season starts the better, I'm fucking bored' Fucking ey
Keyblade 08.02.19	Villa's defence post-January after Dean Smith had a chance to add to the 1 CB Steve Bruce left behind was pretty stellar...and it only has improved no seriously Bruce actually went into a season with just James Chester as a recognized senior central defender and thought Mile Jedinak would pick up the slack beside him. also permanently damaging Chester's body in the process. really happy the bastard is gonna take Newcastle down this season
Jasdevi087 08.02.19	Bruce deserves an absolute shocker this season for abandoning my poor babies Wednesday like that
Deez 08.02.19	Theres some good players in that team still but fucking Bruce.... I think theyll just avoid it but if they lose longstaff and a few others start wanting out in January they could will get binned
Jasdevi087 08.02.19	they have like, zero attacking threat and a pretty average backline tho so I feel like their success last season was purely Benitez being a god
SlothcoreSam 08.02.19	Getting my fantasy team finalized, whilst streaming Tool. Couldn't do that last season.
Deez 08.02.19	keep forgetting perez ha gone. I reckon Almiron will come good. Needs to get on teh weights though
Deez 08.02.19	'Getting my fantasy team finalized, whilst streaming Tool.Couldn't do that last season. ' You could stream it on YT. Listen to it on CD,Viynl,Itunes. Basically anything apart from Spotify.
Sinternet 08.02.19	I don't see united or arsenal finishing above us tbh even with us losing hazard, we've looked pretty good in preseason with a less than first team squad
Sinternet 08.02.19	Also brighton should stay up I think, their defence is fairly decent, and they've made some alright signings. All depends on whether Potter can improve their attacking play.
Faraudo 08.02.19	Nicolas fucking Pepe. If we get Tierney and a CB we could be contenders tbh.
Deez 08.02.19	No chance. Youd need all those to hit the ground running in their first season and even then. 3rd Max
Jasdevi087 08.02.19	fam you conceeded 3 to Reading, settle down
Faraudo 08.02.19	If we get a good CB and get rid of Mustafi I really can't find a weak link on the team. Holding is coming back, Bellerin is coming back, Ceballos will easily fill Ramsey's void for the season, etc. There is plenty of youngsters like Willock (The best of the bunch), Reiss Nelson, Nketiah, Martinelli and Guendouzi that can play the Europa League games/cup games. I can realistically see Arsenal being a contender ONLY if we get a CB. Tierney would be amazing as well, but it may be one or the other, now that we've spent 80 million on Pepe. Besides, I think that Ozil will have a great season, he's been looking pretty good on preseason and now he's got a potentially world-class winger at his disposal.
Jasdevi087 08.02.19	that and you've got a manager with a bit more experience in the arena (than chelsea)
DoofDoof 08.02.19	Think my beloved spurs might shit the bed this time - distinct lack of posi vibes coming from the camp and no signings yet again. They’ve still only replaced dembele - why always a window behind? Unless that significantly changes this week I see 5th to 7th for spurs. Man U will be annoying and have a solid top 3 season. One of Chelsea and Arsenal will get their act together - one won’t. A ‘non expected top 6’ side will break the top 6 - I’d like to think Leicester but it could be someone else. At gun point I’d go: 1. Man City (10 pts+ clear) 2. Man U (less than 2pts ahead of Liverpool) 3. Liverpool 4. Chelsea (6pts+ behind Liverpool) 5. Spurs (same pts worse GD than Chelsea lol) 6. Leicester 7. Arsenal (same pts worse GD than Leicester) 8. Everton (5pts+ behind Arsenal) 9. West Ham 10. Wolves Relegation? Maybe Norwich, Brighton and not sure but Newcastle will flirt with that last spot.
BenThatsMyJamin 08.02.19	Arsenal aren't getting top 4 looool
Sinternet 08.02.19	I mean let's be honest, Arsenal fans think they're getting top 4 every season, and then they shit the bed
AdoreSwancore 08.02.19	1. Man City 2. Liverpool 3. Spurs 4. Arsenal 5. Man Utd (changed from initial prediction of 4th) 6. Leicester 7. Chelsea (expecting a potential slow start) 8. Everton 9. Wolves 10. West Ham 11. Watford 12. Bournemouth 13. Aston Villa 14. Southampton 15. Crystal Palace 16. Burnley 17. Brighton 18. Newcastle 19. Norwich 20. Sheffield
Jasdevi087 08.02.19	Arsenal could get relegated and it wouldn't matter cause at least they'd go down with a fresh kit
BenThatsMyJamin 08.02.19	I'm very okay with everyone underrating us rn
Faraudo 08.02.19	Same lol
TheNotrap 08.02.19	I think Bernardo Silva has a good chance of lifting the trophy again. MC and Liverpool are still the favourites. Man United has no coach to compete with Guardiola and Klopp, in my opinion.
Sinternet 08.02.19	no idea how i see top 6 turning out but i'd say burnley, sheffield and bournemouth are my relegation picks
Pheromone 08.02.19	Doof how do you see us out of the top 4? Arse, United and Chelsea all have a worse squad than ours even with the lack of signings. NDombele is Dembele with a final pass - the only way I see us out of the top 4 is if we lose both Eriksen and Rose with no big replacements.
Pheromone 08.02.19	also dont see bournemouth getting relegated whilst howe is still there
Jasdevi087 08.02.19	Bournemouth going down would be an absolute madness surely not
Jasdevi087 08.02.19	and yeah can't see Spurs finishing outside the top 4, that squad would be underachieving in a big way
zakalwe 08.02.19	Leicester will be shite Man Utd will either be fucking rubbish, sackings all over the place or steam roller it. Spurs will be top four. Arsenal potential surprise package.
Jasdevi087 08.02.19	nah Leicester are gonna be toight, the future is now old man
Sinternet 08.02.19	bournemouth are two or three injuries away from a really weak squad and have been overperforming for a while
Jasdevi087 08.02.19	yeah but you also back Brighton to stay up, who are zero injuries away from a really weak squad
Sinternet 08.02.19	i mean duffy and dunk are a good cb partnership, their midfield is fairly decent, ryan is probably the best keeper among the lower table teams. their whole season is really dependent on if they can play better attacking football, which hopefully under potter should mean that that's a priority for them. if they fail in that i'd def back them for relegation but if not i think they do a 12th/13th finish, and i have faith they will.
fogza 08.02.19	I don't know about football, but I have a glimmer of hope that the boks might not embarrass themselves again.
Uzumaki 08.02.19	I can’t wait for this to start up again; summer has been boring without it, minus the Women’s World Cup.
joshieboy 08.02.19	Arsenal are stacked up front and in midfield but have a bottom half team's defence. Reckon they'll be high up on goals scored but like 6th-7th in goals conceded.
Keyblade 08.02.19	apart from Ceballos and maybe Torreira, even their midfield isn't that good tbh
joshieboy 08.02.19	Xhaka is good on his day but yeah inconsistent for sure. Ozil, well, when he decides to fucking play, he can be world class. Defence is a shambles coz Mustafi sucks. Arsenal are just gonna be that team that tries to outscore everyone. That front 3 of Lacazette, Aubameyang and Pepe is pretty exciting.
Sinternet 08.02.19	gonna be honest i agree, i don't see an ozil redemption arc happening and laca and auba being clinical has saved them way too many times. I guess they may get better delivery this year with improvements to the squad, but as soon as you break arsenals pressure higher up on the pitch they unravel quite easily, as they did in the EL final
Piglet 08.02.19	mustafi is a bit of a scapegoat considering his ability. Hes great in the air and at set pieces, good marking and positional awareness, not the worst at tackling, just dives in too often and makes soyboy mistakes which get blown out of proportion. And for all this carry on about needing a cb, arsenal need a bluddy rb. i don't care what people say about bellerin he's the real headless chook at the back. They might as well play a sentient pea instead.
Keyblade 08.02.19	Arsenal squad built like Wendy Williams. I predict a 7th place finish
Pheromone 08.02.19	United 85m for Maguire. Must be the worst fucking bargainers in the world
Keyblade 08.02.19	could have bought De Ligt and had some change left
NorwichScene 08.02.19	Liverpool to win and Norwich to stay up
zakalwe 08.02.19	Maguire is class but 85m. Yet more reason to forever bin football to be honest. Fucking farcical.
Deez 08.02.19	And they tried to troll us when we bought Van Dijk hahah No doubt hes miles better than what theyve got though so..m
Jasdevi087 08.02.19	i'm all for it, that's just 85mil for Leicester to use basically for free
Deez 08.02.19	Ballotelli and ricky lambert incoming
Faraudo 08.02.19	"Maguire is class but 85m. Yet more reason to forever bin football to be honest. Fucking farcical." Maguire is an ok player lol, nothing out of the ordinary. Even Ozil made him look like a Fidget Spinner last year.
Deez 08.03.19	Hes much better on the ball than off it. Salah has had him off a few times by drawing him out and turning on him because hes very slow on the turn, Peps seemed to have gone for that tactic against Leicester a few times too, maybe cos of his 40 stone head I dunno. The price even though ridiculous, The Mancs can afford. If it makes them better its worth it I guess but how much better he will remains to be seen.
Faraudo 08.03.19	I wouldn't really take Maguire at Arsenal, he's way too expensive and I don't think that he's better than Sokratis, for example. Holding has even more potential, but his season got fucked by injuries.
Deez 08.03.19	Hes a typically overrated English player but people saying hes shit dont know what the fuck theyre on about. Hes not.
zakalwe 08.03.19	‘40 stone head’ lol
Faraudo 08.03.19	2Hes a typically overrated English player but people saying hes shit dont know what the fuck theyre on about. Hes not." Oh no not at all, he's a solid, ok English player. A player worth 40 million tops.
Jasdevi087 08.03.19	they literally went "fam, we want to keep him, you will literally have to pay an absurd amount of money for us to give up" and man u went "yeah and what?", so leicester went "... aight lol" if they actually go ahead and bring in Dunk to replace him then we will actually have to pray for Brighton
joshieboy 08.03.19	English players in the English market are always valued about 20m more than their actual worth. No way in the fucking world is Maguire worth 85m
Jasdevi087 08.03.19	off topic but has anyone peeped Stevenage's kits?
zakalwe 08.03.19	Awful
rockandmetaljunkie 08.03.19	I think this might be Liverpool's year. Too bad the staff didn't fortify the roster.
Sinternet 08.03.19	it's our year™️
RedRightHand 08.03.19	UP THE GOONERS!
rockandmetaljunkie 08.03.19	Just read that Alexis Sanchez has got the highest salary in the Premier League (about half a million pounds/month). Crazy shit. And he's not even playing...
Jasdevi087 08.03.19	lol managerless Sheffield Wednesday already topping the championship fuck you steve bruce
Deez 08.03.19	Fat headed mong
zakalwe 08.03.19	Bless him
Keyblade 08.03.19	he's trying to sign Ahmed elmohamady for his 4th time lol. unimaginative ass fist face
zakalwe 08.03.19	But a good bloke tbh
Keyblade 08.03.19	nope, he's an asshole
Keyblade 08.03.19	walked out on 7 of the 10 clubs he's been at, most recently ditching Wednesday before they even sorted out compo after they let him take January off to watch golf the media likes to push that nice guy narrative, but his body of work suggests he's anything but
zakalwe 08.03.19	true
Jasdevi087 08.03.19	absolute crying shame no one snapped up Neil Etheridge even just as a backup goalie
Keyblade 08.03.19	yea I wanted to get him. but then we got Heaton so yea, sorry Neil!
Pheromone 08.08.19	With the transfer window closed, what’s everyone saying?
Faraudo 08.09.19	Arsenal will win the quadruple, cheers.
Jasdevi087 08.09.19	only thing that's really changed for me is swapping palace and Southampton around
Jasdevi087 08.09.19	i do honestly hope shit works out for Brighton as well, they look a whole lot stronger now but i still wanna say 18th
Faraudo 08.09.19	Sorry, we objectively had the best transfer window this summer, so I'm really happy at the moment.
Jasdevi087 08.09.19	inb4 David Luis + Lustafi disaster
Deez 08.09.19	Spurs and Arsenal bought very well.
joshieboy 08.09.19	Luiz is an absolute bastard but now he's on my team, l will probably love the fucker
Pheromone 08.09.19	Fingers crossed that Tierney is shit - Everton also bought very well, if they got Zaha I could’ve really see them fighting for top, but Iwobi is half the player
DoofDoof 08.09.19	Arsenal might score the most goals now Sadly they’ll let in twice as many as they score loooool
DoofDoof 08.09.19	In seriousness Man U were my picks to have a stormer but their business in the market was shite For some reason I still think they’ll do ok but maybe not 2nd now.
Deez 08.09.19	Evertons centre backs are shite. Theyll be knocking for top 6 tho
anarchistfish 08.09.19	AMEND AND UPDATE UR LIST BOY WE ARE NOT FINISHING BEHIND SPURS THIS YEAR
DoofDoof 08.09.19	Spurs actually have a midfield now. We got to the CL final without a midfield which was one of the strangest footballing feats of recent years. We also now have pace from the bench as we won’t start all of Son, Moura and Sessegnon every game. So two biggest weaknesses addressed. If we’d got a second forward I’d have said we’d challenge for top 2. As it is the biggest issue is we’ve got rid of Llorente and replaced him with a teenager named Parrott. Sqwaaaark! 🦜
Jasdevi087 08.09.19	Parrott didn't look half bad in pres tho, he'd be perfectly capable in the cup matches and maybe even in some of the smaller away games EDIT: obviously not as a direct replacement for Llorente tho lmao, not what i meant
Jasdevi087 08.09.19	"AMEND AND UPDATE UR LIST BOY WE ARE NOT FINISHING BEHIND SPURS THIS YEAR" you'll finish where I bloody well tell you to
DoofDoof 08.09.19	He’s the next Kane! Is the fantasy football thread still going? Can someone bump that - need the league joining code if anyone is doing it again :/
anarchistfish 08.09.19	https://www.sputnikmusic.com/list.php?memberid=446654&listid=188206
DoofDoof 08.09.19	cheers, all signed up
Jasdevi087 08.09.19	so fucking pissed, a competing service provider trying to compete with Sky Sports in NZ bought the rights to the premier league off of beIN but nothing else. So now beIN has literally fucking everything else, all three tiers of the EFL, all three major cups, la liga, ligue 1, bundesliga, but not the premier league. gonna have to be watching highlights this year boys cause no fucking way am i buying a whole sports package deal just for the prem
anarchistfish 08.09.19	paying for media in 2019
Kiran 08.09.19	Can't help but think utd will finish a distant 6th. That midfield is far too shallow and if Pogba is removed for any amount of time due to injury or suspension, it is completely without flair or creativity in the middle of the park. Has Matic got it in him to play 50 odd games in all competitions as well? McT is promising but Fred has looked out of his depth. Best defense they've had in years but you have to wonder if there is enough in the middle of the park to feed a very inexperienced attack.
DoofDoof 08.09.19	Lukaku going was a big blow imo
Kiran 08.09.19	He's got the first touch of an elephant but when he was good he could really impose himself
NorthernSkylark 08.09.19	nah, chelsea will finish 6th. Everton will be closer to top6 this year.
DoofDoof 08.09.19	Everton are due a good season...but I don't really see them all that much stronger than West Ham, Wolves and Leicester. Hate to say it but West ham probably have the tidiest squad and perhaps the canniest manager of that bunch. Could see them crash the top 7
Jasdevi087 08.09.19	anyone wanna talk about the fact that Derby literally signed Wayne fucking Rooney?
Demon of the Fall 08.09.19	The only thing giving me hope that Chelsea can finish 4th is the potential incompetence of Arsenal's defence/midfield shield and 'Ole's at the wheel' Utd being shambolic akin to the end of last year. I'm more confident in the latter than the former, I think Arsenal's attack will bail them out just enough to snatch 4th. Also, Luiz may have his faults but he automatically becomes their best CB - why Arsenal? FFS. Your predictions look closer than anyone else's (in the comments section) to me, mine would probably be very similar (although we might edge Utd, through their incompetence more than anything).
Kiran 08.09.19	Couldnt believe West Ham managed to lure Haller but players rate Pellegrini, he's a great manager. Should be a fun squad to watch at the least, managed to hold on to Rice and Diop as well
Kiran 08.09.19	And ha, Rooney in Derby is wonderful, I love it
Jasdevi087 08.09.19	4 fucking nil in 40 minutes yass kings
DoofDoof 08.09.19	this league is becoming shiiiiiIIIIIIIIIIIIte competitive my arse
Deez 08.09.19	What are you on about?A team that just came up from teh championship against the team who got more points in the league than any other team ever other than Man city and Norwich played very well. Could have easy had another goal.
DoofDoof 08.09.19	they used to plug on about no easy games - this was over after 20 minutes. bottom 10 are fodder for the top 6
Jasdevi087 08.09.19	I mean this game was always going to be over before it started, like the upcoming West Ham / City game is probably going to be a better example of the gap between the top 6 and the rest of the efl
Jasdevi087 08.09.19	tbh i was kinda impressed with Norwich for the most part
Deez 08.09.19	same. They made a good few chances. Youre talking about European champions against a promoted sides first game. I would be optimistic oi i was a Norwich fan. Theyll score goals. They gonna concede a shit ton though. Some very tidy build up play
Jasdevi087 08.10.19	lol west ham are giving them the business atm
Deez 08.10.19	Var is fucking shite
Jasdevi087 08.11.19	oh yeah I forgot West Ham don't have a defense
Keyblade 08.11.19	media hyping up west ham before they kicked a ball was funny as hell. they're supposed to break into the top 4 lol
Sinternet 08.11.19	told you morons brighton would win the league, get in what a result now for us to smash the dirty reds this afternoon and it'd be a decent weekend
Sinternet 08.11.19	how is anthony taylor this much of a fucking retard two goals that had clear fouls against us in the buildup allowed to stand our defence is really suffering though with rudi and kante not 100%, our attacking play is great but fucking woodwork fc seems like it's back for yet another season. hopefully when we have a fully-fit squad back we should be more complete
zakalwe 08.11.19	You’ve been shite this 2nd half
Sinternet 08.11.19	ehh we had a 15 min spell of being shite, same as we did in the first half early days anyway, and a universal fuck anthony taylor, how this league ends up with such shit refs idk
Deez 08.11.19	Chelsa went to bits second half and Utd are still shite Anthony Taylor FROM MANCHESTER should never be allowed City or Utd games its a farce.
Deez 08.11.19	Joking arent you? Liverpool and Spurs have a far better and settled 11 and both have quality on the bench now. United will be 4th-6th There is a big gap in quality and how teams play between the top 3 and then 3-6. Its up to Utd/Chelsea/Arsenal to bridge that and I dont see it this year. Pogba was horrendous first half. Chelsea put those chances away hes getting slated first day of the season. Instead he pulls a few superb assists out his arse which he can do. Thin lines.
zakalwe 08.11.19	Shite
Deez 08.11.19	Under 2 different managers. I still dont see a style of play under the hobbit. The gap is quite clear for anyone who watches how the top 3 harry and press and play without the ball as well as on it. To be honest I thought Chelsea looked the closest to breaking that at the start of Sarris season but no. The top 3 are miles ahead.
Deez 08.11.19	A better team than Chelsea goes in 2 up minimum. A team without 2 Championship players from last season might very well do the same. You can only read so much into first games of the season theyre always a slog but I dont see anything and havent seen anything from United for a long time. And definitely not in a 30 minute spell where hlesea fell in on themselves after being teh better team for 60. Theyll get destroyed by Liverpool, Spurs and City at least once. Pogba only shows up at 2-0/3-0. Theyre in the mix for CL for sure but nothing more.
Deez 08.11.19	hahah No chance in hell Pogbas getting 20 hahhaa
Deez 08.11.19	hahaha 8 of them were penalties! If he was on emotion strike last season whats he going to be on this already telling teh world its time to move on. Hes no where near Citys quality. He wouldnt even get into our midfield. Hes an instagram player, A youtube highlight. Capable of insanse quality for a few moments a game but his lack of workrate and constantly looking for fouls because his flicks dont go right make him a huge liability in this league. He got a few great assists today because they were there but they could easy of been behind because of the amount of times he lost the ball in the first half. Thats Pogba
Deez 08.11.19	it's a new United defence - thought they showed some promise' Chelsea had 7 shots on target in a game they lost 4 nil. Wan Bissaka is a great signing. Personallly I think Maguire will get found out without an Ndidi in front of him. Linelof the jury is out still and That fat bastard luke shaw will be injured withong 3 months. But hey...well see wont we
Deez 08.11.19	but I think he does have the talent.' Oh absolutely no doubt about it man, Insane talent.
Jasdevi087 08.12.19	Wan-Bissaka was the real 80 million dollar defender. Chelsea looked way more dangerous on attack but I think it's mostly because Man United have no fucking midfield presence, you can see why solskjaer was so desperate for a midfielder at the end of the window Lampard was naive af for thinking that playing Zouma was going to be anything other than a disaster
Keyblade 08.12.19	huge gap between the top 3 and the rest. united vs chelsea looked like a championship match in comparison also, reading ppl talk about pogba you'd think he was sully muntari or some shit, put some respek on his name
Jasdevi087 08.12.19	I thought Pogba was fine in the 2nd half (didn't really see much of him the first) his pace was definitely an issue tho
Keyblade 08.12.19	lol chelsea and united aren't touching liverpool or spurs the gap between the top 1 and liverpool was 1 point. the gap between liverpool and 5th place was 27 points. they're not dropping out of the top 4. that would mean chelsea, arsenal AND united would have to have near perfect seasons. that's not happening
Keyblade 08.12.19	i agree city is winning the title again, liverpool might run them close but not as close as last year. but liverpool and spurs are much closer to city than they are united/chelsea/arsenal who themselves are closer to wolves/leicester than they are spurs/liverpool
Jasdevi087 08.12.19	lol remember that season Chelsea finished 10th? then again that season was fucked in general
Jasdevi087 09.21.19	I want all of y'all who talked shit about Bournemouth and Leicester to apologize right tf now
Deez 09.22.19	It will be interesting today abrahams on fire and weve been conceding despite largely winning apart from in the week and even then were in charge the whole second half until the pen. Chelsea played very well against us in the super cup. We should be to good for them at this moment but a trip back from Napoli on a heavy pitch lets see. Spurs are getting their spursy in early this season.
zakalwe 09.22.19	Palace win West Ham win Arsenal win Chelsea draw
DoofDoof 09.22.19	Ok how much would I get back with a £5 on this...gonna check
DoofDoof 09.22.19	£200
DoofDoof 09.22.19	Or £240 on Billy Hill Ooh I slapped that on as I already have a bit of money on United and Liverpool to win those games.
zakalwe 09.22.19	Can’t stand gambling. Grand national and the dogs very rarely that’s the lot.
DoofDoof 09.22.19	it's how I save - invest certain amount a week, if you're up or down keep that cash saved, move on to the next week and repeat. also match whatever amount I bet in a savings account. just saving is a bit dry on its own...but I need to save. Need the incentive of fun and a challenge
Deez 09.22.19	Im coming out (hopefully) of a pretty bad gambling addiction. Ive gambled all my life. Was doing matched betting which was pretty profitable for a year or so made like 15 grand but all that time youre rewiring your brain, Your reward system, Your addiction. Came out with a pretty horrible addiction. Literally tens and tens of thousands. It pisses me off how blahzey people are about it its teh highest suicide rates out of all the addictions. Not every one who drinks is a drunk of course but its a different world now. You can literally lose EVERYTHING you have while on your fucking phone. Kids can do it in secret without anyone knowing. Its real dangerous and a real problem. This was also tied in to my working in the middle of nowhere though and spending a massive amount of time online.
DoofDoof 09.22.19	life kills yeah ok that's flippant it is an evil industry sure, and they target addictive/obsessive people - I just have a strong streak of sensible (boring?) that stops me ever doing anything TOO risky
DoofDoof 09.22.19	I've never gone above betting £50 in one week, usually more like £25 - and I take long breaks (only just got into it again after eight years away from it - just forgot about it) Overall from gambling I'd expect I'm about 20% up, had some big wins for little outlay - two fantasy football wins of £1000+ and I've only ever spent a couple of hundred pounds on FF max
DoofDoof 09.22.19	have a buddy who cashed out at £1600 on a 12 game accumulator...but then lost it all the same night. that's fucked, I just asked him 'when would a win be so big you'd be satisfied?' and he couldn't answer that's when you're fucked
Deez 09.22.19	Because you think youve just won 1600 so youll just have a little bit. Soon 300 has gone and youre more obsessed about losing 300 because gambling addicts het hooked on close losses more than winning which has been shown in brain research in relation to gambling addiction. Soon youre down to 1000 and youre just saying 'if i just get that 600 back ill stop ' instead of walking away with a grand you feel like youve lost. Probably place bigger bets at smaller odds maybe doubles or less and someone misses an open goal or a last min pen to give you it all back (the close loss which is really just a loss) soon youre down to a few hundred quid and you dont fucking care anymore so youre throwing it on luthanian 3 division. There is no win big enough. It never ends because theres not an end goal ( ok a few hundred grand or higher) my mate whos an old fella and bets every day said one 'you never really win you just get a temporary loan' worse part is i LOVE having a bet but came to the realisation ive got no control over it anymore
zakalwe 09.22.19	Rewiring of the brain indeed. Fucking awful. Keep strong lads.
Pheromone 09.22.19	Spurs are making sure to keep me as bummed as possible
Uzumaki 09.22.19	That goal from Kane tho...
Pheromone 09.22.19	Great goal. That VAR decision has my mind boggled even today - knew after that and after Son / Kane missing some routine shots that we were gonna lose it
Uzumaki 09.22.19	Haven't seen/read about the VAR decision, but that'll prolly be top news during half time today; Kane's goal made Sportcenter's top 10 this morning.
Deez 09.22.19	Tim cahill the little grub got it right on MOTD if your gonna be calling 1 mm offside then you need to look at exactly the moment the ball was played too. If youre gonna be that fucking precise then you have to look at that too. Honestly its doing my head in already. You can give an offside for 0.8mm but they won't change a penalty decision when seeing it wasntva penalty because its not a 'clear and obvious' mistake. So fucking dumb. It should be seen as a team effort to get the right decision instead its seen as undermining the ref. Bell ends
DoofDoof 09.22.19	'after Son / Kane missing some routine shots' yup, shooting boots on we win that 5-2 - need a few players who just smash the thing in the net right now. Aurier is our best striker
DoofDoof 09.22.19	Palace are done. Relegation certainties.
Deez 09.22.19	ahhahah fuck off utd
Uzumaki 09.22.19	Wow. Utd. actually looked shitty, and this is W. Ham we’re talking about. insert “The I.T. Crowd” reference
Keyblade 09.22.19	"You can give an offside for 0.8mm but they won't change a penalty decision when seeing it wasntva penalty because its not a 'clear and obvious' mistake" this is what's doing my head in. refs missing blatant calls aren't clear and obvious errors but a linesman not catching a humanly impossible offside is corrected. how sway?
rodrigo90 09.22.19	I blame Damon Albarn for making me sympathize with the Chelsea, even though I don't even follow their football matches.
Deez 09.22.19	Yeah exactly Key. I mean you either just settle for refs and officials that will get it wrong time to time or have VAR which will be painfully correct to the nearest MM BUT at least thats across the board so it will go for everyone its the law that needs changing , remember 'clear daylight'?? Pens are still not being given (and reds) because they dont want to undermine the ref in that case whats the fucking point?
joshieboy 09.22.19	Go fuck yourself Arsenal and go fuck yourself harder Emery. Our style of football fucking blows. Wide open in midfield, allowing players to run unopposed into the box, relying on Aubameyang to save us. Shit.
Keyblade 09.22.19	Fuck VAR. clear handball by Sokratis that they didn't call but the ref calls an accidental handball by McGinn 3 mins later while he's in the ground
zakalwe 09.22.19	The game (certainly at prem and international level) was a slowly dying beast in the late 90s. VAR is the final spear in its gut.
joshieboy 09.22.19	Arsenal got away with that game hard.
Sinternet 09.22.19	Fuck scousers but good game can't wait when we've got a fit squad
Deez 09.22.19	FaCK SCOuZErsz FacKIn YerrS
joshieboy 09.22.19	City and Liverpool are so far in front of everyone else. United are shit, Chelsea are average, Arsenal's attack bails out their horrific defence, Spurs inconsistent. Everything outside the top 2 is impossible to call.
Deez 09.22.19	Better team second half Chelsea we defended well but was always gonna be hard last 20/30 if it was close after a tough game in Naples on that pitch (napolis) . Lucky to get out of their with a point but we get those results now we can dig in and defend thats the massive difference for pre Klopp. Massive result. Think Lampards gonna get Chelsea back up their if hes given time.
Sinternet 09.22.19	Alright maybe that was harsh the toffees are fine
zakalwe 09.22.19	Agreed deez. Josh. It’s all fits and starts, ups and downs it’s the beauty of the game. Liverpool will definitely have an iffy patch this season but I genuinely would like to see them dominate. City are quality but fuck ‘em.
joshieboy 09.22.19	Yep pretty much zak. League will be decided on the 2 Liverpool-City games. Still extremely early to judge for sure. Fuck l hate this sport but l love it at the same time.
Jasdevi087 09.22.19	only 1 of the big four still threatening, Barcelona in 8th and Milan nowhere to be fucking seen what an era
joshieboy 09.23.19	Leicester are a great chance at top 4 tbh
Jasdevi087 09.23.19	the other place in the top 4 will be whoever gets sacked first, poch, emery or solskjaer
Sinternet 09.23.19	i'd like to switch my hot pick for relegation from bournemouth to watford
Pheromone 09.23.19	I hate how fickle football fans are - Poch deserves to be stuck with past a slight dip in form
DoofDoof 09.23.19	I’m thinking Villa and Palace are going to be bottom six - could easily see one or both of them going down. Think they’ll have a nasty habit of drawing the few games they could conceivably have won...and losing the rest
Sinternet 09.23.19	isn't your guys priority to actually win something though? do you reckon he can do that?
VisionsFromTheDarkSide 09.23.19	yeeeeeeaaaah poch aint getting sacked.
Pheromone 09.23.19	He was the reason we got to the Champions League final in the first place! I get why people say that, but he's brought us consistent top 4 and the best football I've ever seen us play. I still feel like winning something will come, and I'd be absolutely gutted if we somehow end up out of this era without anything. But you gotta give him time still, he deserves it if any manager does.
DoofDoof 09.23.19	Poch is entering the Wenger frustration years - for his career/sanity he should prob move Club is a disgrace run by utter cunts I’m afraid. Levy has said it’s the same old austerity for as long as ‘super yacht enthusiast’ Joe Lewis is in charge. The promise of ‘bigger stadium equals more money for the team’ has already been broken! Not that anyone believed it. Instead you can spend easier on a comfortable stadium with pint glasses that fill from the bottom :/ Yes, supporting spurs is like voting Tory - all gentrification and austerity and money disappearing into anything other than the ‘zero net spend’ playing staff Please someone make these chancers a deal they can’t refuse before they saddle the club with more debt. Also please make it part of the deal Levy and his successor (his son) out of the club as part of the same said deal. Wankers.
Pheromone 09.23.19	Fucking hell, Doof. We got Lo Celso and NDombele, and looked like getting Dybala for a while until image rights got in the way. That's indication of at least a little (but actually a big) change in the usual tight pocket approach
DoofDoof 09.23.19	It’s no indication at all - Dybala purchase maybe would have indicated something. The only reason it wasn’t zero net spend is from outside other clubs see the situation and are waiting for players contracts to run down/players like Rose and Aurier to agitate for moves. If Levy could have flogged £70 mill of playing staff he would have. More probably. Poor old Poch being taken for a ride wearing golden handcuffs (that is the one thing levy will spend on so he doesn’t lose him for anything less than some whopping compensation for a manager - though I think Man Utd or Real Madrid might have a set of keys...
DoofDoof 09.23.19	If you want to seriously compete then you don’t purchase a stadium without also buying the sort of players Liverpool have the last few seasons. Liverpool have spent more on one player than our entire net spend of the last five seasons just about! We aren’t serious and Poch is waking up to that. We are looking more like that sad team under Wenger after the stadium move United spent more on Maguire than our five year net spend - I mean c’mon, buying Dembele’s replacement five months late, loaning a Poch signing so we can cut our losses if Poch scampers and a couple of ok kids (Sess was poor in a relegation team last year) is not too ambitious
DoofDoof 09.23.19	When your manager starts talking about we’re in this chapter of a larger project then he’s turned into ‘Austerity Wenger’ and you’re fooked
Pheromone 09.23.19	Spurs have never had that money. The stadium is a start. Plus who have Liverpool signed in the past few seasons that were more established than NDombele or Lo Celso - they're the same level players, it just payed off for Liverpool. Give it time. Plus, Poch has always talked of a project in the works (of a larger picture) - it's not anything new. Right now, the mentality is worying, but we've not had a consistent full starting 11 for almost a year now.
DoofDoof 09.23.19	We spent a billion on a stadium - we could have spent £100 million (net spend!) on players each of the last five years, perhaps won a few pots, increased the number of spurs fans and ‘the global brand’, whatever they’re looking for. Then buy a stadium partially financed by success (better sponsors, more fans, etc) We’ve ALWAYS had that money. The TV money in the game is crazy now. We have had the lowest wage bill in the top 6 or 7 for a long time. It’s not about winning - we are the next ‘Wenger trophy’ team. Owners want champs league money above any other ‘on the pitch’ concern’. Not replacing dembele last season was criminal imo and showed the true face of Enic. They fucked off that season as over, no investment. Then we reach the CL final which to their minds is just another ‘big event’ along the lines of a concert or NFL game at the new stadium - we have a shite knackered side with no midfield and Liverpool yawn, scratch their collective arses, barely turn up and win knowing there was no oppo in spirit. Same under Redknapp - January window, sky was the limit...brought in ageing Saha and Ryan Nelson. They have previous with this shit. Austerity make and mend/patch and do. It wins nothing and only brings eventual disharmony and collapse. Owners and chairman are toxic. Joe Lewis is PLENTY rich, he’s not a fan, cares not a hoot about winning anything beyond it improving the brand/his asset - he won’t take a speculate to accumulate let alone actually spend his money. No chance.
Jasdevi087 10.20.19	wtf was klopp thinking starting Origi instead of bringing him on in the 90th minute?
Sinternet 10.20.19	Tottenham Hotspur reckon they'll get it clean this time without bottling 30 odd points in the final 3rd of the season like last year
Jasdevi087 10.20.19	yeah well I didn't anticipate them being Tottenham Hotspur did i
Jasdevi087 10.20.19	also i technically never said they wouldn't bottle the 30 points at the START of the season
Sinternet 10.20.19	touché
Ryus 10.20.19	watching spurs this season has been extremely entertaining
Sinternet 10.20.19	fucking loved every second, the brighton game was so perfect
DoofDoof 10.20.19	Spurs is just the end of the cycle - that’s why I went crazy about the CL final. Manager said it, he was set to leave if they won - that’s the pinnacle for spurs the way they’re currently run/financed. That was the big chance, all the Liverpool fans saying it was equally as make or break for them - no, that club is steadily investing in the squad. Spurs fans are sort of invincible right now, there’s nothing to lose, rock bottom. The fans were much more invested in the team last season, there’s no team now - everyone’s waiting for the next cycle to begin. Poch almost certainly needs to go, as do half the first 11. It’s played out. The pressure now should move to the chairman...and the fucking OWNER. Invest.
anarchistfish 10.20.19	You know you're an arsenal fan when you derive your primary satisfaction from watching spurs and man u shit the bed
Jasdevi087 10.20.19	speaking of man u and brighton, I would put good, good money on the seagulls absolutely throttling them at the amex whenever that game comes around
DoofDoof 10.20.19	For Spurs there’s the knowledge the next time we get the mix right we have the stadium and all that shite sorted out - but it might take a couple of Sherwood appointments and five wilderness years to start building something. Seen it all before. Hopefully the owners sell up at some point - balancing the books every season is achieving nothing.
Ryus 10.20.19	who are you talking to fish
Keyblade 10.21.19	https://twitter.com/VelosoCOMP/status/1185949964469448706?s=19 the goat
Jasdevi087 11.10.19	me: yeah the blades should survive just barely sheffield united: fuck it, europa league
zakalwe 11.10.19	Solid team
Deez 11.10.19	Yeah theyve got a good mix of a team that grinds to fuck after making it to the prem but also really strong and know what theyre doing and actually play some great football in patches too. Good to see. Villa too are good to watch. Im just off to put a Bottle through Cities bus window...
zakalwe 11.10.19	Good lad
DoofDoof 11.10.19	My mate's Wednesday - want 'em to crash and burn
Demon of the Fall 11.10.19	Top 4 pulling away, just not a couple of the teams a lot of people expected. Arsenal, Spurs & Utd all look terrible.
DoofDoof 11.10.19	I called it - Spurs due a stinker, you follow football long enough you get these feelings. Man U have amazed me at how average they still are though, expected a solid top 4 or 5 season from them this time. I also said only expected one of Arsenal, Spurs or Chelsea to look even half like a team - Chelsea it is, but I don't expect them to pull up any trees. Still think they'll end the season potless.
Egarran 11.10.19	Poor fucking ManU. You almost feel sorry for them. Almost. It was noticeable that chelsea and city played by far the most entertaining CL matches last week. We did not see that coming just a few years ago, where they usually guaranteed safe and boring. Rooting for Liverpool but also go Leicester.
DoofDoof 11.10.19	This is the year Spurs fans are allowed to support Leicester for the league title...and I will. (of course they won't do it again but hey)
Demon of the Fall 11.10.19	to be fair with the transfer ban, inexperienced manager/players and Hazard leaving, I expected very little out of Chelsea this season. I expect some regression to the mean when the fixtures start piling up, but the gap we’ve accumulated over this initial phase of the season is surprising.
DoofDoof 11.10.19	well, there was a bit of an atmosphere around the place so I expected there to be a honeymoon patch under 'Lamps'
Demon of the Fall 11.10.19	Definitely a feel good factor back at the Bridge, I thought Sarri did a decent job but the fans didn’t really take to him. It makes sense to go down this road, we’ve had the best youth team in England for ages and they also generally do very well in Europe. It’s about time we used them.
DoofDoof 11.10.19	Chelsea are outgunned financially now in so much as there are a couple of teams ahead and a whole load competing for the same players, might as well have a youthful team to get behind with a few promising English players in the first 11
Demon of the Fall 11.10.19	Yeah, we will still spend, but I’d rather go for a couple of big purchases and supplement that with youth, than sign the Danny Drinkwaters of this world... damn what an awful decision that was. Having a manager that’s patient with youth is part of that. If you want an example of how to spend a ton of money, but terribly, then Utd might be the worst in Europe in that regard since the Glazer’s took over.
DoofDoof 11.10.19	Man U are the worst for terrible spending in the PL, followed by Everton
Egarran 11.10.19	Gawd I'm such a plastic, didn't even know this game was on. Looking good.
Deez 11.10.19	Im amazed that the media that apparently love us and are corrupt towards us arent mentioning Bernardo Silvas handball in that 'Penalty incident' The rules now are any advantage gained by a striker using his hand intentional or not is as no go, Seen it already this season with City and others. It hits his hand then hits Trents. Thats an advantage. Love the fume by Pep. He doesnt like it up him.
DoofDoof 11.10.19	Brendan Rodgers beating Klopp to the title would be very funny - I'm a Spurs fan, its all I've got this season still sore we were the only fans who couldn't cheer on Leicester last time
Deez 11.10.19	It would be so very 'Football' a fucking mad game
Demon of the Fall 11.10.19	I can’t believe the Scouse are actually gonna do it, fuck me I need a new hobby come May, any ideas lads? Oh yeah...
Deez 11.10.19	Its november still. None of us are going overboard. Weve got a game every 3 days for the next month al over the world and a tournament in the middle east. Plenty can happen yet. Thing is weve played the top 6/7. City have only played spurs. LONNNNG way to go yet.
Demon of the Fall 11.10.19	Nah the Pool have won it, absolutely no way it doesn’t happen, it’s about time football came back to Merseyside... (reverse jinx)
blastOFFitsPARTYtime 11.10.19	Our Spurs x Everton household is in for a looooong fucking season.
NorwichScene 11.10.19	Norwich can survive imo, but need injured players back real soon!
Keyblade 11.10.19	I don't want City to threepeat but I also don't want insufferable ass Liverpool to win it either. come on Leicester (or Chelsea)
Jasdevi087 11.10.19	nah i'm pretty sure we can comfortably bottle 8 points and let leicester have it off topic, i'm convinced Norwich are actually a robin hood team, they give out 3 points to those who deserve it and nick them off the ones that can fuck off
Sinternet 11.10.19	im chuffed to bits with our season so far, frank has been fantastic. i thought abraham would do well in the prem but i never expected him to be this clinical, his movement is great and the whole team just seems to work. also it may just be a good run of form, whether he keeps it up or not is important, but pulisic is giving me shades of 2013 hazard atm. his runs are fantastic and provide a much needed directness to our football.
Jasdevi087 11.10.19	tbh the only reason i put you guys 6th was cause i thought the squad was gonna be so clapped that them getting to 6th was Lampard doing bits, cause I was kinda tipping him as a really good manager (i mean look at where Derby are now without him lol)
Keyblade 11.11.19	still sad that Tammy went back to Chelsea. oh how we could do with him right now. stupid transfer embargo. would be warming the bench for Mandzukoc or some shit without it
Ryus 11.11.19	for real sint. the young boys have been fucking holding it down beyond my wildest expectations, tammy is looking like the best striker we've had since costa. all the other pieces are falling into place too—mount, zouma, tomori, pulisic all great so far.
Keyblade 11.11.19	crazy how they were all farmed out on loan lol. y'all just hoard talent to turn a profit. Lampards success should put more scrutiny on Abramovich and the club
Deez 11.11.19	I also don't want insufferable ass Liverpool to win it either' https://youtu.be/7DGZN5LJ-VE?t=800
blastOFFitsPARTYtime 11.19.19	Just here to say, fuck you Daniel Levy.
zakalwe 11.19.19	A disgrace
Pheromone 11.19.19	Feel like I’ve gone through a break up, what a cunt levy is. Cba for the shit show that’s coming next - no way son / Kane stay
zakalwe 11.19.19	It’ll never happen but there should be a boycott. Nobody turn up at the next home game. Think the board and the shareholders are the club do you? Fucking arsehole.
blastOFFitsPARTYtime 11.19.19	Just about tearing up thinking of how Sonny would've lost it when told.
DoofDoof 11.19.19	Relegation form since January and he lost the plot and semi-resigned before the CL Final - he’ll take a lot from it and go on to better things, but he made WHOPPING mistakes. You don’t say you’ll resign before the biggest final you have made it to...and the club you’re managing has made it to in decades. He cracked, it happens. Poch will go on to better things. Now Spurs. Spurs won’t go on to better things for a long while me thinks. If relegation meant getting rid of the owners and Levy...goddam that’s one to really ponder on. They’re the poison. £109 million net spend in five and a half seasons? Cunts. In Napolean Dynamite voice “darn, that’s like less than £20 million a season”
zakalwe 11.19.19	Doof with his accounting books out.
DoofDoof 11.19.19	It’s a football club - you need to invest money in playing staff. Last season only one club in the whole league spent less net than we did. The owners didn’t buy the shiny box, the fans will slowly finance that debt and possibly pay it off. Levy has said we’re keeping the austerity model. It’s only just a football club. If the NFL games were more lucrative and they could get more of them and less soccer matches Levy wouldn’t blink before making the call. Cunt.
zakalwe 11.19.19	Yep. You’re right there son. Football is dead.
Pheromone 11.19.19	The thought of Poch at another English club breaks my heart, hope he goes Bayern or something
Pheromone 11.19.19	And then we’ll get Jose in, end me
zakalwe 11.19.19	Nail in the coffin. He’ll be at the scum come New Year.
Sinternet 11.19.19	damn i almost feel bad for u guys
Egarran 11.20.19	>Football is dead. But it's gonna be reanimated at the WC in Quatar as some kind of grotesque zombie clown. I can't wait for that shit show, just wish the whole slavery and death thing didn't sour the experience.
DoofDoof 11.20.19	Love the appointment - he wins something or he moves on, no mini Wenger 5 or 6 year project nonsense Jose is the sort of shithouse who might just WIN SOMETHING while at Spurs. His reputation is on the line, has to rebuild it, buck stops with him. It had got too nicey nice with Poch sadly, doormat by the end. Trippier said as much when he left.
VisionsFromTheDarkSide 11.20.19	Jose to Spurs has got me feeling a VERY wide range of emotions as an Arsenal fan
DoofDoof 11.20.19	No love lost between Jose and Arsenal Or Jose and the wonderful Pep G {pukes in bucket} Love him at spurs already
Egarran 11.20.19	What's Eriksen doing these days? The long process of maybe being sold doesn't seem to help his game.
DoofDoof 11.20.19	I actually have a tiny bit more respect for Levy paying the required to get a proper manager in. Poor man’s choice would have been Benitez. Rodgers no thanks, Southgate? Lol I expected a ‘punt’ manager - someone like {shudder} Emery or the deadman at Everton
Demon of the Fall 11.20.19	'Jose to Spurs has got me feeling a VERY wide range of emotions as an Arsenal fan' eh, try being a Chelsea fan? Confusing af. On one hand I still love the guy, but I also dislike the fact he went to Utd and now Spurs, I mean c'mon Jose, all that unconditional 'love' you pretended to have for us feels a little meaningless now. I guess that's business for you. From a footballing perspective, this will give Spurs some impetus in the short term, but may hamper them long term, which is what you get with Jose. Combustion on the horizon at some point, probably after numerous disagreements with Levy about the meager transfer budget, or whatever... if Poch was unhappy then you have no chance with Mou. Unfortunately (being pragmatic for a minute, like Jose)... Spurs will be better this season and maybe next as well, they needed to freshen it up, as great a manager as Poch was this relationship had run its course and the players looked like they were at rock bottom confidence-wise. He will motivate them, set them up to defend/counter in the traditional Mou way, which honestly suits them rather well. He has plenty of fast and physical players at his disposal and guys who can be lethal in front of goal without needing a ton of chances/possession. This will make Spurs hard to beat, especially in the big games - hopefully they stumble when they're required to take the initiative themselves and break down stubborn resistance (especially if Eriksen fails to regain his form, his mind looks elsewhere already).
DoofDoof 11.20.19	See if Levy has kept a stash of cash for Mourinho in January - if he actually backs him significantly Levy might just have me believing
Demon of the Fall 11.20.19	The best players rarely move in Jan, the remainder tend to be grossly overpriced... it'll be interesting to see what happens because presumably he got some assurances from Levy.
DoofDoof 11.20.19	Will be interesting who he rates in that squad. Time of reckoning for so many wasters - Dier? Alli? Aurier? So much dead wood now
Pheromone 11.20.19	Fuck off is Alli deadweight lol
DoofDoof 11.20.19	We just don't know. Is my point. He hasn't played well for closing on two years. That ain't good. With Dier it's over two years. Everything is up for questioning now - the only players I'd imagine will play most every game (if they are committed to the cause) are Kane, Son and Ndombele. The rest can't take anything for granted.
blastOFFitsPARTYtime 11.20.19	Fuck knows what'll come from this. At least it won't be boring. Or maybe it will be.
Deez 11.20.19	Klopps leaving in 2 years. Pep will probably be gone by then too Jose should be in his 3rd season by then and I wouldnt bet on them not challenging by then. Hes taking over a much better team than the mancs. Still needs to be seen if hes just a fucking dinosaur now or still got it ans he did but a lot of shite at Utd too. Think its a great move from Spurs if they were set on getting rid of poch anyway.
zakalwe 11.20.19	Don’t talk shite deez. ‘Great move’ Football and family are the only thing on this earth where heart rightly rules head. Mourinho and the board can fuck off.
Deez 11.20.19	Hahha where the fuck have you been for the last 25 years? Modern football doesnt give 2 fucks about your heart. I dont agree with decision to get rid of him and the snide way it was done its fucking discracefull but joses worth a gamble right now if theyd decided to do it. Footballs a fickle game the mancs hated him too...until he won them things...then they loved him..until they didnt again. I hate the cunt personally wouldn't want him anywhere near my club but Id put money on him getting spurs into a VERY good position for when Klopp and pep get off if they can plan ahead for it. Surely hes heen given insurance with transfer funds otherwise he wouldnt come in its not how he works

DoofDoof 11.21.19	'https://theboyhotspur.com/opinion-mourinho-arrival-demands-a-mentality-reboot-for-some-fans/' This says it all - heart was preferable to what came before (Sherwood, AVB) but we've done Redknapp and Poch...lots of heart, nice football, a lot of smiles We're STILL seen as a soft touch joke club, the trophy cabinet is STILL empty. Time to become the club everyone hates playing. If that means we are bored watching them a lot of the time so be it. The last two months have been rock bottom dreadful entertainment wise anyway - we haven't played steady 'good football' for nearly two years under Poch, the gung ho CL matches papered over the cracks. I want to feel the club is led by someone whose only currency is silverware now - I want to see us win something, Jose gamesmanship and negative football if we must, but tbh the bloke has presided over some great footballing sides (Chelsea, Madrid). I'm fucking middle aged, I don't want to hear about 6 year + slow build projects, there are so few dynasties in football these days, we've had the moral high ground that we are a 'lovely lovely club' and 'spend not a lot and are so fair see' - everyone still laughs at Spurs, everyone still delivers the team talk 'lads, it's Tottenham'. Doubt they will with Jose scowling in the dugout.
DoofDoof 11.21.19	Have to say really enjoyed watching Jose as a pundit this year, think the chap is still one of the only managers in the game who has claim to the title of 'genius' - whether he's 'yesterday's genius' is up for debate. Bloke is articulate, been watching a few documentaries on him, highly intelligent fella. Poch, bless him, hadn't a lot to say off the field. Jose won't stop talking...for better or worse. Yeah there'll be weeks the press conference or after game interview will be more entertaining than the football dished up but whatever, should be intriguing shit however you cut it. Proper manager, highest profile one for decades at the club.
zakalwe 11.21.19	Fuck off great ego and the missus thinks he is gorgeous so in my book he is a bit of a wanker,
DoofDoof 11.21.19	It’s the FA cup final, you’re Pep Guardiola and you’re up against Spurs. You look over and see...Poch. Bloke hasn’t won anything, you fancy your chances. You look over and see...Eddie Howe. Fancy your chances. Benitez? You fancy your chances. Rodgers? You fancy your chances. Southgate? Lol. You see Jose? You take the game very very seriously. It’s the right appointment.
Sinternet 11.21.19	and then you realise... lads, it's tottenham
DoofDoof 11.21.19	Don’t care what oppo you are - you get to a final against Maureen and you clench your anus, win or lose it’s going to be hell, the bloke can strangle any game
Demon of the Fall 11.21.19	The guy's a bit of a wanker, his insistence that he's never done anything wrong and nothing is his fault is admittedly grating after a while. He will eventually throw everyone else under the bus he parked because he's a terrible loser. The thing is when he's winning games and everything is going well he seems likeable, charismatic etc. and no-one could ever say he isn't articulate/intelligent. At the end of the day results are everything, I loved Mou at Chelsea, until I didn't. You will overlook anything he says/does if you're successful. Just be prepared for a short-term project... but like Doof says I guess if he wins something that's all that matters for a club that's struggled to break through that seemingly insurmountable barrier.
DoofDoof 11.21.19	Sint - if any appointment can change that perception and mentality within the club it’s this one. Might not work but it’s the right call. Fat Frank will take him seriously have no doubt
DoofDoof 11.21.19	demon - don’t care if he’s likeable as long as results are good overall Just in: I haven’t liked Poch much since he bottled the CL final before a ball was kicked, started freezing out players, serving up shite football and being a sulky cunt in interview No manager is that charming when they’re losing/a loser Off the field Poch seems a nice bloke, honestly off the field Jose seems an interesting articulate fucker
Egarran 11.21.19	Accepting Jose is like accepting Satan in your life. "Hey he can make me win it all in this life. OK it's gonna cost my soul BUTWORTHIT!"
DoofDoof 11.21.19	Levy/ENIC are Satan so might as well hire an appropriate manager You miss the memo the club has already sold its soul - we have bottom filling pint glasses and NFL games, oh the humanity
Demon of the Fall 11.21.19	'demon - don’t care if he’s likeable as long as results are good overall' Well that was my point so...
Egarran 11.21.19	>we have bottom filling pint glasses What's that and how is it satanic? >and NFL games Yeah, that was a hellish display.
DoofDoof 11.21.19	Just saying we’re corporate through and through now - all the soul has indeed been sold No difference between spurs and the other soulless corporate husks like City and Chelsea - so might as well try and win
Egarran 11.21.19	Indeed, City and Chelsea were raped by demons years ago. But now they are actually entertaining to watch.
Ryus 11.21.19	jose is amazing
blastOFFitsPARTYtime 11.21.19	Ofc still nearly impossible, but if he could bring back Bale I wouldn't say no.
Egarran 11.22.19	Ibra? lol
DDDeftoneDDD 11.22.19	Agreed with Demon. His project is allways set for major success on the 2nd year...then conflict will start to appear. Its always a fun fella to watch lol also think his defensive formula is a bit off nowadays, although its a good set up for a 2nd line team such as the Spurs...giving the ball away will come in handy!
rockandmetaljunkie 11.22.19	"his insistence that he's never done anything wrong and nothing is his fault" Talking about Mourinho i guess? The guy admitted that he made mistakes the past few years and that he will make new ones in spurs. Gotta love Mou
DoofDoof 11.22.19	Yeah I watched that interview yesterday, think the year off might lighten him up a bit
rockandmetaljunkie 11.22.19	And new reports are surfacing claiming that ibrahimovic is being approached by tottenham.
DDDeftoneDDD 11.22.19	lol an ego-fight like that would be unwelcome...Bruno Fernandes would be a won bet.
Demon of the Fall 11.22.19	'Talking about Mourinho i guess? The guy admitted that he made mistakes the past few years and that he will make new ones in spurs.' Lol yeah that's something new, watch this all go out the window when everything comes crashing down in a couple of years.
rockandmetaljunkie 11.22.19	"an ego-fight like that would be unwelcome" they did just fine in man utd, zlatan has the best to say about Jose https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RcNxIqVrOh4
DDDeftoneDDD 11.22.19	Yeah...I guess Zlatan at 36 don't mind to heat the bench a bit for Kane.
rockandmetaljunkie 11.22.19	"watch this all go out the window when everything comes crashing down in a couple of years" we'll just have to wait and see, Mourinho has been successful in the past with teams that had many years to win trophies. Remember his first stint with Chelsea and Inter.
rockandmetaljunkie 11.22.19	But then again there are many in the football community who believe Jose is kinda outdated in this year and age. What do you guys think?
DDDeftoneDDD 11.22.19	2nd, maybe 3rd if he manages the squad gently, is the stronger one..
Demon of the Fall 11.22.19	'we'll just have to wait and see, Mourinho has been successful in the past with teams that had many years to win trophies.' I'm well aware of that, like I said before he will probably be successful in the short term, whatever that means relative to Spurs... I guess ANY trophy and top 4 would constitute success over the next couple of years. He's not built for longevity, so WHEN it all inevitably comes crashing down, then it'll be interesting to see if he's still playing the nice humble guy who admits to making mistakes. Tactically he has fallen behind a little imo, but this team are much better suited to his style than Utd were, so I expect the same competitive big game mentality when up against the top teams. Beating them with sucker punches where possible. Where he has fallen away is vs the lesser teams, I just don't see him consistently getting results against stubborn rear guards, that's where the game has left him behind slightly. Therefore I definitely can't see Spurs competing for the league, especially not in the current climate, but in cups they will likely do well. Also, his old school approach to player management sometimes falls on deaf ears now, fragile millennial footballers need a cuddle not a rollicking I guess, lol.
Demon of the Fall 11.22.19	This will be the least amount of money he's ever had to spend comparative to his domestic rivals as well, which could be interesting.
DDDeftoneDDD 11.22.19	My view, basically
Jasdevi087 11.23.19	the championship honestly isn't a bad watch, don't knock a spurs season down there
Jasdevi087 11.23.19	unironically though it's better than the fucking french league
rockandmetaljunkie 11.23.19	All of the first 3-4 english leagues are tremendously competitive
zakalwe 11.23.19	The championship is actually the better league in terms of competitiveness, supporters, home grown players, prices, atmosphere, toughness, and adhering to the traditions of the game.
DoofDoof 11.23.19	Moura, Alli, Son and Kane starting - like it. Massive game for Dier and Winks
zakalwe 11.23.19	Despite the bitterness and resentment (I was actually meant to go today but fucked it off) COME ON YOU SPURS!!!!!!!
Egarran 11.23.19	Nice, Son is on my fantasy team.
Jasdevi087 11.23.19	my fantasy team is fucking shafted, another 40 point week i guess unless the blades tear up Lanchester Lunited
Sinternet 11.23.19	we gave city a good fight today, love to see it our midfield gets better and better every week hopefully rudiger gets back soon though so we can hopefully improve our defece, zouma has stepped up a lot the last few games but really we need someone who can cover for tomori if he makes a mistake whch he can do, but his passing qualities and pace is something we need in the backline lots of positives to take away
Jasdevi087 11.23.19	y'all have come a long way from 4-0 to Bournemouth
Sinternet 11.23.19	yeah we're doing much better than i could have hoped for, was doubtful we'd make top 4 this year
Ryus 11.23.19	just some unfortunate individual defensive mistakes leading to the two goals first 25 minutes we looked lethal
SlothcoreSam 02.01.20	"fam if the blades finish 7th I'll buy the club" 25 games played, and they are still in 5th place. Start saving boi!!
zakalwe 02.01.20	Proper fucking club
Egarran 02.01.20	This list isn't aging too well.
BigPleb 02.01.20	Up the reds. We have been special this year, we win games before a ball is even kicked nowadays.
Sinternet 02.01.20	yes and i hate you even more for it have to say i got a few predictions right here so far (humble brag) bournemouth stuck in a relegation battle, brighton have improved somewhat and their attacking play in general has been great, it's finishing that's been letting them down - good run of form and i think they'll start moving up the table, arsenal collapsing even more, man u below us. was very wrong about sheffield and burnley though - underestimated the burnley shithousery and having not watched sheff last year in the championship didnt know what to make of them
Jasdevi087 02.02.20	"This list isn't aging too well." I don't think I've ever seen a premier league prediction that has
Jasdevi087 02.02.20	and as a reds fan i'm hardly upset about that lmao
Egarran 02.02.20	True. It's always a good drama.
DoofDoof 02.02.20	bosh - classic spurs lucky win, beautiful
zakalwe 02.02.20	Good goal from the new bloke
ElioG 02.02.20	Man U could put its coach in the place of their main attacker and vice versa and have a better team.
ElioG 02.02.20	I miss David Seaman. What a goal.....ie.
Deez 02.02.20	Where gonna win ya know...
Jasdevi087 02.02.20	"Man U could put its coach in the place of their main attacker and vice versa and have a better team." great idea, they can give that a shot in the championship next year
Jasdevi087 02.02.20	setting my sights on the entire football league this may, can't wait to find 92 bands for every single town
Jasdevi087 02.02.20	and... i guess at least one from Fulham hopefully
Jasdevi087 03.08.20	anyone else keen on Brentford in the prem next season? honestly think they're the best out of the playoff gang atm and reckon they'll cheese it
DoofDoof 03.08.20	Wolves and Sheff Utd for champs league with Leicester and Liverpool please 😏
zakalwe 03.08.20	Shambolic innit doof
DoofDoof 03.08.20	Last three weeks I’ve hardly watched any football have to admit. Watched second half yesterday and it was the same old shite
zakalwe 03.08.20	You should’ve seen the first half. Christ.
Jasdevi087 03.08.20	yeah but it's spurs i mean wtf do you expect
zakalwe 03.08.20	True
Jasdevi087 06.25.20	you'll never fuckin walk alone bitches!
Uzumaki 06.25.20	Way to resurrect this thread.
Deez 06.25.20	GETTTT THE FUCK IN THEREEEEEEEE
Jasdevi087 06.27.20	hope y'all london team supporters are hypes for your Brentford derbies next season
Egarran 06.28.20	I wish Jürgen Klopp was my dad
Jasdevi087 07.12.20	adios Norwich City, yoyo on boys
Jasdevi087 07.26.20	gg boys, solid 0/20 but did accurately call Norwich being the only promoted team to go down and man u to finish above Chelsea join me in September when i predict the entire football league down to League 2
Ryus 07.26.20	fuck spurs fuck arsenal top 4 after being written off at the beginning of the season, feels good
SlothcoreSam 07.26.20	I got Liverpool, Spurs and Norwich positions correct. And my out-on-a-limb prediction of Sheff Utd to come 7th wasn't far off.
Sinternet 07.26.20	chuffed to bits with frank and we look menacing for next year. pls new goalie lb and cb though i cant take the heart palpitations constantly successfully predicted bournemouth going down but was way off with my other picks
Ryus 07.26.20	if we strengthen up our defense we would be looking extra scary next season. so excited to watch ziyech and werner
DoofDoof 07.26.20	I predicted spurs wouldn’t get top 4 and we didn’t. Also predicted arsenal would finish outside the top 6. Norwich went down as my dead cert. Underestimated Liverpool but that was more wishful thinking.
DoofDoof 07.26.20	Pulisic is great at Chelsea - not sure about the rest of that squad tbh but they’re already making good signings They need them - Giroud, Alonso, Willian, Pedro, etc etc so much chaff and I’m not convinced by Kepa, Kovacic, Mount or ‘Tammy’ really
ChoccyPhilly 07.26.20	Imagine being an arsenal fan lol Oh wait that's me
BigTuna 07.26.20	IF Chelsea shore up the defense, I think they'll challenge City and Liverpool for the title next season.
Sinternet 07.26.20	if you aren't convinced by kovacic and mount then you don't watch us lol
DoofDoof 07.26.20	Kovacic ain’t all that - always anonymous or actually error prone when I’ve watched Chelsea. Mount is good but then he’s not as good as Alli was at the same age and the jury is out, 50/50 prospect. Tammy is even more of an uncertain one, if he’s going to be your first choice he has to be as good as Rashford, Kane, Aubameyang etc I’m doing you the compliment of comparing your squad to Liverpool and Man City’s, rather than Spurs, and I’m sorry they’d hardly upgrade taking a single one of your players is the reality.
Ryus 07.26.20	"if you aren't convinced by kovacic and mount then you don't watch us lol" yea kovacic is probably our POTS, he's been immense
Ryus 07.26.20	you dont have to tell me twice that kepa hasnt been convincing though
Deez 07.26.20	Liverpool and City are hitting 90 points now seasons running. Anyone hoping to break that has 20/30 points to make up or hope for a drop of by one or both. Was worried about it feeling a bit flat lifting the trophy infront of no fans but it was fucking tremendous. Whole thing has been like bashing a ton of pills. City wont lose as many next season. I think we will drop off as asking mane/salah/bobby/vvd to play 90% of games again for a 3rd year running is a bit much. Expect chelsea to be closer if they sort the defence every game weve played against them has been tight. Be interesting to see who UTD buy
Ryus 07.26.20	if city sign koulibaly i'm done
Jasdevi087 07.26.20	we will bottle the ever loving fuck out of next year I'm sure of it, can't wait to take a phat spanking from Leeds tho gonna be tight
Keyblade 07.27.20	villa shaved about 5 years off my life today. what an exciting 2 years it's been under dean smith
Pheromone 07.27.20	I tried to avoid this thread with the generally fucking awful expectation I had that we'd at least get third. Sixth now looks like a miracle We'll win it next season
Jasdevi087 07.27.20	Bottleham Losspur for 6th again next year sorry but we will not be accepting any London teams in europe
Pheromone 07.27.20	14th to 6th is a decent bottle job
Demon of the Fall 07.27.20	Leicester are the bottlers, if anyone. Looking forward to Jose prioritising Europa wins over the league next year though, unless they start the league campaign on fire thus altering his priorities, then I can see them struggling to challenge for top 4. Kane and Son will be played into the ground.
Demon of the Fall 07.27.20	Good season for Chelsea, would’ve taken top 6 all things considered. It’s clear this is very much a work in progress, especially defensively, but this is going to be a much changed team next year with Werner, Ziyech, Havertz etc. Desperately need a GK, hopefully a LB/CB (might be asking for too much in one window). Pulisic needs to stay healthy next year, special talent.
zakalwe 07.27.20	Yeah Leicester fucked it to Notts Forest levels. I’ve been watching re-runs of St and Greavsie for confirmation that football has turned shit and it’s not just me wearing the old rose tints. Cricket >
Pheromone 07.27.20	Zak - I don't mean this badly - but you are the definition of rose coloured reminiscing
zakalwe 07.27.20	Watch it mate (St and Greavsie) I guarantee you’ll think. ‘I’d prefer that’ it genuinely was better.
Demon of the Fall 07.27.20	Love a bit of test match cricket, unfortunately on days like today the rain comes to spoil the party.
Deez 07.27.20	I guarantee you werent saying footy was shit when you beat Ajax 2 years ago. Ofcourse its watered down. Everything is. I still watch certain games and watch the let off in the crown when goals went in. Was like a mosh pit. Chaos.
Deez 07.27.20	A 90s moshpit obvs
zakalwe 07.27.20	Ajax was the last sense of ‘excitement’ deez mate. The sheer chaotic ‘enjoyment’ and grounded roots of the game which made you feel like you were part of ‘something’ and represented by ‘somebody’ died in about 1998 for me.
Pheromone 07.27.20	the ajax game has to be one of the greatest moments in me life - maybe Zak, you've just grown up!
zakalwe 07.27.20	Nah. All those who experienced footy prior to the mid to late 90s know exactly what I’m talking about phero bro.
Pheromone 07.27.20	all those who experiences art, music, film, culture prior to etc etc my nan says the same thing about the 60s!
zakalwe 07.27.20	It genuinely is a thing though Phero bro. I assure you if you went back to the sixties walked around despite some shocking sights you’d exchange the ‘popular culture’ in a heartbeat. The lifestyle probably not.
TheSpaceMan 07.27.20	soccer
Pheromone 07.27.20	idk man i'm quite content with having every album / film at my dispense
zakalwe 07.27.20	So am I it’s amazingly convenient. It leaves me contented. 😢
Jasdevi087 07.29.20	real Brentford hours
Ryus 08.01.20	what a shit match that was
Sinternet 08.01.20	amazing - captain and best player go off injured before the hour mark, player of the season sent off for getting fouled, uncalled red card on the goalie for handling outside the area, anthony taylor is the worst fucking ref in england (discounting lower league refs)
Ryus 08.01.20	that second yellow on kova was absolutely disgraceful. pedro off on a stretcher was also tragic basically everything that couldve gone wrong went wrong. looked like it was gonna go our way too at the beginning not looking forward to munich lol
Deez 08.02.20	Taylor is fucking awful. Never a red that. Again Var being utterly useless
Faraudo 08.02.20	Up the Arsenal, little shits. COYG all the way. PD: Azpilicueta pulling Aubameyang for the pen should have been a red card, the exact same thing happened with Luiz against Man City, save for the fact that Luiz got a straight red. The referee was woeful overall, but we deserved the win. Oh, I'm reading that a certain someone actually thinks that Martinez grabbed the ball outside the box lmao, there is a video on which it's showed that he grabbed it inside the area. I'm even gonna do the research (which is a couple of clicks away from your fingertips) for you and leave the video right here for your viewing pleasure, enjoy: https://twitter.com/atulkasbekar/status/1289807891340247040?s=20
Jasdevi087 08.02.20	literally imagine supporting a london club
Demon of the Fall 08.02.20	Arsenal fan I know admitted a yellow for Azpi was fair and also said the red on Kova was harsh - what the hell is VAR actually for? It was absolutely a penalty though. Not bothered about the handball incident, it looked close and the benefit of the doubt goes to the keeper there. Injuries were unlucky, although it’s probably not a coincidence that overplayed players are the ones getting hamstring pulls late in the season. Season objectives completed anyway, not going to lose much sleep over this one. One of those games.
zakalwe 08.02.20	Fucking scum
ChoccyPhilly 08.02.20	Great game, bad refereeing. Let out a huge GEEEEET IIIN with auba scored his second
Egarran 08.02.20	Gotta love the English after a big game. So much piss.
