Clrnc the Ange thread was a fun read. 
PL 23/24
Burnwinter always thought your reaction to Contes outburst was off. Its patently clear Spurs is a mess from top to bottom.
QuincyAbeyie The guilt of celebrating their loss all came to reality for them after the Ange presser. They couldn't even justify their own behaviour and realised how small time it was.
"Winning banter at work over your own club progress to UCL...""
Qwiss Nah, my reaction to Conte's outburst was in no way off. For that matter you can't trust what he (or Mourinho) says about the climate at Spurs. Both of them are histrionics.
Conte's lack of professional integrity and loyalty to his players was what disgusted me. He had ten matches left to oversee, a couple of months. The man can do what he likes for his filthy Spurs money, he went in the door with eyes wide open, then stumbled out pretending he'd been blinded.

Burnwinter can't believe Villa are the best performing of the top 4 clubs.
Big 6 league tbh is a little skewed this season as United and Chelsea are mid table clubs

@Clrnc Makes more sense to include the top 6 teams this season than a historical list, yeah.
Doubt they’ll kill it. But I haven’t to say, right or wrong, not being able to fully celebrate goals is 1000% the worst thing about it.
I think a lot of fans would have conflicted feelings, have debates about what outcome is preferable etc.
The way they actually went to the game to cheer City on and take joy in their loss is something else. There’s some suggestion that Bentancurs reaction was down to the embarrassment, which didn’t occur to me at the time. But thinking about it, imagine being a professional football or manager and having to put up with that shit from your own fans.
Mind you, if you’re Son, I guess being a serial loser has been ingrained into you.
The leagues should forget about reforming VAR for now and reform probity at PGMOL instead.
Something obvious has been going on. Broadcasters figured out contentious decisions engage viewers so they're now a focus of vision, commentary and analysis.
Referees as the heroes and villains of these decisions are wanting to slyly cut themselves a slice of the action: celebrity profiles, airtime and money. It's unsound, unseemly and riddled with moral hazard. Cut out the dead wood, give referees a raise and shut them up.
QuincyAbeyie The "Big Six" is a longitudinal thing that remains relevant even though Villa and Newcastle have spent a few bob and improved for two seasons.
I want a "game-raising cunts" table where points are scaled appropriately by the season-long average points-per-game-against of each opponent, let's say you only get 3 / 2.4 = 1.25 points for a win against an opponent that's offered up 2.4 points on average.
Burnwinter nah they were both right about Spurs, even Ange is starting to see it, mate.
As things stand, West Ham have zilch to play for Sunday. They can get their bums handed to them on a silver platter by the 115 count cheats.
Qwiss That level of prima donna behaviour is laughable any time. Just see out the season and part ways. Man's a joke, that's why he went to Spurs and then acted like he hadn't done it. All hair and no trousers.
Clrnc The Emery factor isn't it? He's very good at preparing for specific matches and pulling something out of the hat.
Antony Gordon is miles better than the likes of Garnacho and half the left wingers people do be wishlisting on here
Three and a half years older is quite a lot at that age.
QuincyAbeyie Garnacho looks older though
That's poor goalkeeping
Son Heung Min is a name that will live in infamy
If I were Arteta, I would play this on loop before we play City again. It wasn’t that long ago.
