    Yeah, not fond of relying on spuds to take a point off pool.

      Can’t wait to see spurs fans cheering for Salah to score on them and for Son to miss a 1v1 a la City last season

      From what I heard isn’t the colourised War Games getting rid of 6B potential

      I’ve not seen any classic yet, I probably should

    I just had a thought - where the hell is Kalvin Philipps? I’m not going to just look it up.

      tbh with hindsight, it is so crazy that he went to City and immediately just clocked out seemingly for the rest of his football career. Like, kinda seems like Pep was justified in shit talking him publicly (as much as that kinda assholey behaviour can be justified, anyway).

    So if Saka’s and Sterling’s injuries are remotely serious, do we try to sign a winger on permanent basis in January and basically force the long-term plan for what Sterling is theoretically doing now forward? I would say we could consider recalling Nelson but that guy’s also fucking injured.

      Marti - Havertz - Jesus, with Trossard as a sub is thin but not so bad as to demand money be spent on a band-aid as long as Saka and Stetling aren’t gone for too long

        2 wingers for 2 wing spots for weeks when we’re playing every three days… plus Nwaneri and Jesus can play wing in a pinch I guess but then you need Havertz to play every game up front instead, and also Nwaneri is fucking tiny still
