English Premier League 2024-25

oliver is the worst, lmao that call

wrt my USA-based arsenal friends, what TheGramuel said about "You've been banging on about how badly youve been playing so how lucky you are to be second, but it's still rigged obv" is spot-on, if just a standard case of stage three kansas city wankerchiefs

I'm still 100% ange in. Wish he'd rotated more months ago (though that's also a levy thing), but I'm gonna be upset if he gets sacked, I think he's fantastic. That he hasn't remotely lost the locker room feels meaningful.

bottom line is that poch was right in 2019 when he said spurs needed a long painful rebuild. And conte was right too, that insufferable goblin. And a depressing number of spurs fans still underrate how incredible and integral prime kane was.

Spurs needed to strip it to the studs years ago, instead they went with half-measures (Mou, Conte, Roquefort) which delayed and exacerbated everything. Obviously things are hilariously bad rn, but I actually think spurs are in a pretty good spot going forward? They're not getting relegated. I giggle every time united or chelsea go upside down too, but nobody's getting relegated except fingers crossed City. Feels a little like toon last year tho not exactly

still wont stop ding dong commentators with the "aye spars are injured but look at [bournemouth or whoever], they just get on with it don't they? Spars've got a weak mentality" and ok YES, but they also have no surviving players and they've got four games in the next ten days (good luck to forest next year!). Spurs best injured 11 would clobber their healthy 11 which has disintegrated into a tattered chain gang of teenagers and random fingers amputated off the little dutch boy. Kulu is the best example: spurs' best player for months but awful for weeks and why is that, did he get freaky fridayed by ndombele or has he just been trying to sprint 12k twice a week on turnip fumes?

ange isn't as obstinate as his reputation (he shelved proper angeball a long time ago), and angeball per se doesn't injure people, they're not training in a bouncy house juggling belt sanders, they just had a thin roster on Matchday One, that he unfortunately didn't rotate well, then add natural injuries and natural bad luck and soon you've got exponential carnage of random body parts sticking out of a snowball rolling downtable

At this point I hope they don't purchase a single outfielder this window because it would be good gallows humor and because it would make levy look worse (who imo has been overall excellent for spurs but the sun is setting) and because it sure beats overpaying for the next half-measure wingback.

It's a cursed year, it happens, spurs and spurs fans should accept our situation, turtle up, survive the league and hope to bink a trophy which would cause 3/4ths of the world and 2/3rds of spurs fans to vanish in a puff of cognitive dissonance.

what a ****ing year to have your two favorite teams be tottenham hotspur and the chicago bears. At least I got two super satisfying Sell the Team chants out of it. Which seems to have actually scared the McCaskeys into spending money though with spurs the true danger is that this ends with "soooo let's give a warm welcome to our new owner: daniel snyder" in which case just ****ing kill me, strap me in a clockwork orange contraption in front of a neverending wall of ungarian posts until my eyes melt or the legion of reddit gamethread posters finally accept that, yes, while Micky Van de Ven could legitimately be one of the best defenders in the world, don't hold your breath because he's eleven feet tall and is faster than the expanding universe which is a combo that is simply not seen in human beings beyond Usain Bolt, whose own hamstrings were also as resilient as dry spaghetti and that dude didn't even have to change directions, GAH

no they play levekusen/athleti

Tough draw!

Duran to Saudi is demoralising news

Not much in it if you draw Celtic or Man City 🙂

What is a Mathys Tel?

The next Giovani Lo Celso I hope.

Charge every club who surrounds the ref please

Saw a Spurs agent say Bayern still owe Spurs money for Harry and this could help them get him. Dunno how much truth in it, seems a lot of clubs in for him.

Yes, that really is happening. Declaration of war against AFC for having the temerity to get an egregiously bad PGMOL decision overturned. Expect more penalties and cards from now on.

I know it's funny as hell but I've got to admit, Arsenal really are getting inordinate amounts of poor decisions and this is the funniest of the lot.
