I know it is not exactly going out on a limb, but I don't think LvG footy will be enough for top4- not even this crazy season... you need INSANE rungood. I mean just look at how United are "chasing" games, teams are more than happy to concede possession to them and they know they can just park the bus and wait for a cross every 10-20minutes. As for the defense there is some insane runbad with injuries, but everyone has their fair share of those this season...except Chelsea, but yea, they have their own issues atm. /rant

Cliffs: LONG BALLS?!

Wenger was bombarded by questions about Chelsea and Mou in the pre-match presser. He said he doesn't want to comment, but after the 3rd or 4th time he snapped and replied with

Interesting article on George Green.

Poor oafk

more thicker itt

Had never heard of him before today though.

Zak seems a tad emotional.

Zak, Zak, Zak...

looks like one of the leaders has responded poorly. chin up zak

that syed bloke in the times has a pile of ****e article that tries to explain everything jose through stupid narratives, but i think it's well titled:

JOSE MOURINHO IS A CULTURAL TERRORIST

(not paywalled for some reason)

That good, 12 year history

Solid 24 hours

mourinho took the fax machine with him?

With Mourinho gone PulisGOAT is now far and away the best interview giver in the league

Going hard in the paint, love it

PulisGOAT. Lol Klop

While that's good stuff from Pulis, how is his team worth less than £20m, especially with £8m Chester on the bench?

He is probably talking about netspend. The hint is the use of the word "fella"

Wenger said there is a thin chance that Sanchez will be available for the City game. Also when asked about transfers he replied quite honestly that we are going to look for a player, because the squad is thin in midfield

West Brom isn't the most valuable team but for starters strikers Berahino and Rondon alone could easily each be above or around £20m

I'm sure he would have said 30m if he started by saying Pool is worth 300m.

starting lineup cost about £27m, maybe a tad more

Lambert off the bench £3m

Chester on the bench £8m

Berahino on the bench, came through the youth system but would probably go for a packet if it came to it. Just depends which way you're looking at it, because clearly people in this thread have different definitions of what's being said here.

i believe this is known as the little horse gambit. bwom have spent 45m net over the last couple summers and he's talking as if they're barnet or something

Am reasonably happy with the leaving of TSO.

No one survives being one point of the relegation zone, the club were by all standards pretty patient with him.

I will be annoyed if rumours of tension with Costa turn out to be a contributing factor as Costa has been **** this season and deserves to be balled out by management.

I think the reason why TSO fails over the long term is that he is incredibly short termist. He wants to win NOW.

Not sure if everyone is familar of the adage of the young bull and the old bull walking down the hill, well the obvious problem with TSO is that he runs down the hill, when you should walk down and **** all the heffers.

This is evinced by his destruction of our dominating transfer situation.

Anyway unlike the hate cult am fully able to be calm and rational about all things TSO, so yea not bovvered, but am bovvered by lack of obvious replacement.

Pep seems like a pretty obvious replacement, no? Seems like most assume he's leaving bayern this summer, and unlimited cash in London>unlimited cash in Manchester one would assume.

It appears you are inventing the little horse gambit.
