Lads, it's the Premier League thread - EPL 2019/20

uh

i thought id posted about the above, apologies if not

if spurs *arent* deeply worried by parrotts very close links to the parties involved then they absolutely should be.

i would think its definitely a factor

all being well it'll turn out to be a maradona at napoli scenario, you'd take a couple of league titles surely?

yeah probably tbf

Life is life.

Rumours that Kane might be leaving in the Summer

meh, same speculation as every year

and tbh seeing as buying a striker to challenge him seems an untouchable topic, his seasonal two month injuries are really becoming a major issue

if a huge fee was spent on two replacements and we just started a proper rebuild i could take it

Think Spurs'd do good to sell off Kane and restructure the squad, to not be so dependent on him, rather sooner than later. There is the small disadvantage of having Mou as manager, though.

who's even still left from the gareth bale money buys. lamela?

god i'd forgotten about chiriches

yep, the last of the fellowship

mou might have quite liked capoue

lamela clearly never going to be able to play a full season himself ever again an all

thought stambouli and capoue were jettisoned v quickly tbh

No decent CF wants to come to Spurs because they know they'll be playing second fiddle to Kane, which is why we have a surplus of wide forwards who can play there in a squeeze. Should have re-signed Llorente when we had the chance frankly but the wheels are going to fall off Kane every spring if we don't ease the burden on him.

So yeah, selling him for gigantic money might be a decent course of action.

has there ever been a definite answer as to whether kane himself would take a huff to having serious competition, cover etc?

id think it a possible factor tbh

If we don't get some comedy covid-referencing goal celebrations this weekend then you know the game is gone

a player feigns coughing in a teammates face then mimes stealing teammates wallet whilst they pretend to die on the deck? might be a bit much for a footballer to rehearse!

Could have signed Piatek in the winter. idk why they didn’t get someone like Ighalo in on loan if they weren’t willing to spend much.

no Traore today. but that's ok, Jota's gonna score 3.

the uhhh speed differential is quite striking lol.

Raul might have a field day with these defenders

Ighalo is actually looking like a pretty shrewd signing for Utd

to my surprise

Traore's shoulder's been dislocated 3 or 4 times this season now, I think they're trying to nurse him thru to the summer for an operation.

makes sense. takes a beating every game

I can see why Brighton are close to relegation

Jesus Boly. that was almost bad

In the pub so I can only follow the updates

not much to report in first half anyway.

Traore in for Neves. don't think Nuno wanted to, but the need for 3 probably forced his hand. Wolves haven't particularly been close to a goal.

Yeah I assumed they'd have to get him on. Weird swap for Ruben but we've got Olympiakos this week coming up

POdence in. maybe he can find the goal.

Traore has helped...but a 0-0 draw would be a bad result here. ugh...c'mon!

Plenty of time...i'm telling myself

that's a little more like it. nice positioning by Jimenez and Podence. little more of that and you got it.

dammit Donk. gotta nail that

welp, they're not gonna see the ball again. damn it to hell

Feels like points dropped but a clean sheet is a clean sheet. United have got City tomorrow, Spurs don't look like this game will be a cakewalk altho god help me still wanna see Burnley get beat.

lol one of my besties from high school adopted Burnley as his Premier league team. he's geared up.

On the other hand, lol

Missed the goal - assume it was a clownish unforced error like it usually is?

Keeper spilled it, Woods on the rebound

Assume it's Lloris but not paying full attention

Not paying attention to a Spurs match? Leave ILX immediately.

...and take up your position in the back four.

Assume it's Lloris but not paying full attention

a very fair description of the gutless drunk

😁

second half was grand. im almost inured to our return to total individual flakiness.

spurs.

Yes, they looked fine in the second half, with the obvious limitations around the lack of a striker. A draw is a fair result.

nice to see noted winner D Moyes coming up with a winning idea for the League Cup

Is it me or is Mourinho morphing into Dom Cummings?

Basically an identical personality type from what I can see.

physically as well tho
