Turns out it might have been more Moyes than Chelsea last week

heya ahh
honest isnt the measure tbh because it goes up and down a lot depending on the lens if you get me
start of season, fifth would have looked great, eighth looked decent, but is it really fifth? really?
newcastle, utd, chelsea have had awful seasons, thats all that is
his frankly astonishing start is being held as a stick to beat him with, but tbh its not like it was a normal new manager bounce that has faded into a stable philosophy getting embedded- we started playing like brazil 1970 _overnight_ after several years of conte/joseball. it was seriously heady stuff.
but since chelsea disaster we have fallen apart and its very very difficult not to see it as being found out because the entire team stopped looking like professionals with any sort of belief and pretty much every team started putting it up to us with very simple burnley or stoke lite tactics
and he never adapted and he never got it back working nor even close all season, he just talked about changing the mentality and next season
hes a likeable guy but a bit cunty against very fair questions like "why not practice defending set plays?" or "is it really wise to ask all your players to do stupid things all the time?" so im balancing that against his easy charm and confidence
his record tracks against a big transformation in the second season but id be amazed if a levy summer transfer window doesn't break that streak and i think our down-tools pack of neversold cunts will see him sacked in November

Gotta sell some square pegs & bring in some solid round ones but with a bit of growth from the younger 1st teamers he can match Poch peaks imho.

im comforting myself with a few things
- definite track record of exactly this type of start vs hitting big groove thereafter
- doesnt act like hes doing us a favour, speaks well, clearly a good good guy
- i mean it is actually still fifth after selling kane. 8th might have been optimistic tbh

I think I’m more anxious watching this than any other game this season
Ty darragh for the ange thoughts

so is Bentancur's chair

If Spurs can’t win, everyone and their chairs dying is a second best outcome

bizarre game rly
spurs havent looked this good for months, solid, snappy, resolute and sharp on the break
cunts

Man City keep wriggling out, but damn if Tottenham doesn't feel like they're gonna find one soon
― RICH BRIAN (Neanderthal), Tuesday, 14 May 2024 20:37 (two weeks ago) link
really good spell of possession going

Hate how petrodollars buy so much certainty like this. Fuck capitalism

HOW?!
― RICH BRIAN (Neanderthal), Tuesday, 14 May 2024 20:43 (two weeks ago) link
luckily there will be 10+ minutes of stoppage
just crazy how often Tottenham is winning the ball in advanced positions, I really thought that it was going to be the one that snuck through

Well, it’s been a fun season. Arsenal have really done themselves proud. I have no faith in West Ham, so on to next year it is.

Man City must be stripped of everything they have won.

let them separate into their special Superleague, then have the other teams bail and force them instead to play against live, bloodthirsty predators every week.
Wolves match will be interesting for once
― RICH BRIAN (Neanderthal), Tuesday, 14 May 2024 21:08 (two weeks ago) link
Bollocks to that, they are absolutely the perfect champions for this league.

I felt very dirty hoping for a positive Man City result, you don't get a trophy for finishing fourth, the Champions League is a boring crock of shit and it's a Tuesday night, so on that basis I've contented myself with just the one pint of A Negroni

grats to villa and based on recruitment for emery and how hes used the players he has i think theyre well on the up tbh

🚨 EXCLUSIVE: Premier League clubs to vote on proposal to scrap VAR from next season. Resolution formally submitted by Wolves to abolish system + will be on agenda at June 6 AGM.

West Ham pulling out a stoppage time equalizer in second half and Arsenal winning at Everton and winning the league based on goal differential by one goal...
Would be something.
Ain't gonna happen but

6 titles in the last 7 years, finished second the season they didn't win it. Those petrodollars doing the business.
