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

Yes, pure luck Leeds have not scored a couple as well.

we've created one good chance and given away one or two, great to get the points here (if we do) but no platform to launch from here

ref gone an absolute rampage of bookings this wont finish with twenty on the pitch

when did spurs sign this Dohertinho player?

im not going to be convinced by any of these lads for the rest of the season tbh they can do what they fucking like against leeds

conte booked an all and hes hardly touched him for me

Excellent comedy interlude from Lloris and Dallas.

sess and lloris proving that ninety minutes of avoiding clownishness is actually the measure of a player these days, shocker stuff

shocking from Dallas tho, talk about terrible decision making

yeah absolutely rotten

if ben davies is able to flash across your shot then just buy a pub and call it a day like

jesus nothing from spurs has been of the required quality here, leeds aren't actually playing and we are still proving that we're crap tbh

apart from that maybe

Inject that utterly unremarkable 2-0 win into my veins tbh

Roman just signed over Chelsea to a charitable trust, which i doubt means much?

If it's window dressing it's...conveniently timed.

FFS DEDUCT 50 POINTS

I think the way his investment has been structured likely means the Trust has ownership of the club on paper, and can’t be seized by the government, but still owes him billions of Dollars. The money he has put in has mostly been in the form of loans iirc. I’d guess that he will reclaim the ownership when things die down.

Also interesting to see what happens with Everton.

and city and newcastle and united and etc

Stewardship is not ownership.

lol

Wolfson is a government minister and top lawyer, suggesting Abramovich’s wheeze isn’t going to be sufficient.

Bielsa gone ;_;

not a sad ending afaict

he just seemed too lovely for Leeds

It's the interpreter I'll miss

without him it means nothing

moving chorus of "I'm Forever Kicking Tiddles" here at West Ham

bielsa sacking and leeds decline yet more fuel for my opinion that patrick bamford is the most important player in the prem. #notawasteman

weird almost box midfield Wolves first half, not enough width from Hwang or Trincao, not enough flair or pace either, but fair enough in the circumstances, plenty of that on the bench if we need to

pundits pointing at Fabio but he's still my baby and i'm not prepared to hear a bad word about him yet

Missed most of first half, but I'm here!

FUCK

poor defending that

Silva doing decent box work

Thank God for Sa

savage knee to the groin for Cresswell there

Kilman lucky not to give a pen and get a red there

nobody looks on it here, i know he made a lot of changes but some of these should be taking their chance

Yea Kilman perilously close to a "fuck it, see you next week" moment there

Double sub Moutinho and Jimenez? Idk what will rev them at this point

Neto's coming on, that mix of excitement and worry kicking in

The only real attacking chances have come from getting the ball on Silva's foot at the front of the box.

Gotta find other entry points as West Ham seem comfortable

hope i didn't frighten my neighbours when i smacked the table after another failed backheel 1-2

I also yelled at the TV.

Meh. Shit week for Wolves but sched coming up is favorable

too many of ours didn't look like they were in a big game. West Ham are pretty good and I'm guessing most of the changes were in service of neutralising them but we had no ideas and no flair until Neto and Podence came on, and since we don't have Adama to make up for no ideas and no flair this is what you get. nice bit of fitness building for Neto tho, no point overdoing it but his feet look fine. i'd like to give Fabio more game time alongside Jimenez but then you're looking at a back 4 and i still don't think we've got the central defenders for that

anyway yeah frustrating as this week has been the real real moment of truth is that next run of 6-8 games

Alisher Usmanov has just had his assets frozen by the EU. I’d guess the U.K. will do the same.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/60565945

Everton’s line that UMC Holdings, which provides a lot of their money through sponsorships and loans, etc, is a different company to the US-sanctioned UMC LLC might not hold any water if so.

Beyond that, I guess it comes down to how deeply the government wants to dig. Moshiri is not Russian but accumulated ‘his fortune’ through UMC, Usmanov’s company. In practice, it is a fairly open secret that he’s the owner on paper because Usmanov, who continues to provide most of the finance, wouldn’t have passed the Fit And Proper Person Test.

Chelsea reportedly up for sale, with Abramovich wanting £4bn.

daniel levy sell spurs buy chelsea challenge cunt

Starting bid £100m structured over seven years, plus Harry Winks.

aiui, Abramovich has ‘lent’ Chelsea £2bn and wants that back, in addition to the club’s valuation of £2bn, which seems completely improbable.
