Fuck Off Back To The Little Leagues: EPL 21/22

Wonderful performance.

Kinda desperate at the end, but yeah

loves a game against City does Nuno

Wow!

That was comfortable after ten mins

The tracking from midfield was super, the individual decisions on marshalling and tackling really, really good

A lovely start

Grealish P2 L2

It'll pretty disappointing if the nation's sweetheart is a flop this season.

Ftr I'm pretty pro Jack, but I reserve the right to enjoy the above statistic. Was pretty comfortable for Spurs too

great game. spurs rb doing his fouling properly ie when facing towards opponents goal not towards his own. lucas brilliant ball carrying. city transition defence pathetic. levy should add 30m to whatever he's quoting city for kane after that.

satisfying table atm - ten sides on 3 points, ten sides on 0

also the bees and the hornets are after the toffees

If erik lamela turns back into a twenty goal man ill quit football again

this is extremely grim

This is a tough read (be warned).

The court documents, obtained by @TheAthleticUK, about culture of ‘racist bullying’ at Chelsea in the 1990s.

One coach, Graham Rix, accused of throwing scalding coffee over the head of a black youth-team player.

Graham Rix who claimed there were "mitigating circumstances" when he got a prison sentence for for having underage sex with a 15-year-old girl.

served six months and was immediately rehired by Chelsea

A black work colleague once told me that one of the coaches at the Town youth set-up was a real nasty, racist piece of work + once called him an unreliable, lazy fucker in a snarling rant with spit flying everywhere after he missed an away youth fixture through no fault of his own. He was waiting at the arranged pick-up point for over an hour but the mini-bus never arrived because they'd changed the pick-up point and relayed this important message to his 6 year old sister over the phone. In the end his mum pulled him out of there over a racist incident that he didn't expand on. I imagine the Chelsea set-up was perhaps a more extreme case of that era, but not completely unusual.

Tottenham manager Nuno on Ndombele situation: “I can be completely honest with you, Tanguy is not going to be involved in the squad on Sunday”, he said to @jonathandveal83. ⚪️ #THFC

Spurs board are now looking for a solution in order to sell Ndombele in the next 12 days.

Hope that goal stands

Never enough to say it was a clear and definite game stopping foul, he flings himself down looking for it

Ref backs down

The Mings/Ings connection has produced its first spectacular scissor kick, as was foretold

hopefully the 2nd "shit noddy teams on quest" fixture of this day will actually feature some goals and and perhaps some prem quality entertainment for the neutral!

well i gots to say i'm genuinely excited for this one

Too early in the season for the ILX Derby

good time imo, everything still fresh and possible, still wanna see how Lage has changed things without much in the way of incoming transfers yet

I sort of expect Wolves to have a start like Brighton did last season where they have a tough run and play well in a bunch of games they don't win

But...could it be Very Much a Case of After the Lord Mayor's Show for Spurs?

We'll find out in the ILX Derby. It's up next - and it's liiii-

the Brighton thing feels quite possible, on the other hand we really shd have got something from last week, on the other other hand we really need to strengthen the centre of defence/midfield, tragically new cult hero curvy Colombian hardman Yerson Mosquera is still out

lot of our Twitter nobs have spent the week fighting about how much they should cheer for Nuno or not ffs

Kane roundly booed by Wolves fans when getting off the bus. He’s on the bench today.

Thatll dampen the "kane to wolves" story sky sports have been trying to make happen

he could do a job off the bench for Raul tbfftl

Oh they put Raul together again

No sarcasm enjoying this American punditry

And it's HI HO

Fuck that was heavy

Face rather than head by the looks of it thank fuck

Hugely unnecessary and idk hes gone for it

Fucks sake pen and a yellow no question

Wouldnt mind it not given

He shouldve just fucking scored obv

That pass seemed very easily found tbh

Game on

As I said, centre halfs need strengthening

Ah from that angle the keepers body contact is probably counting as a check tbf

Think traore isnt done vs tanganga yet

Ach he's on his way down before the contact. Well taken pen tho

Yeah I watched the replay before I said it, can't moan

Think we all kinda agree its easy given and probably unnecessarily bought

Skipp what u at

Seen give

Basically

Adama in an out of nowhere there, he ain't perfect but fuck me he's a rheillee
