Just tried calling Argos customer service. Literally the worst customer service experience I can remember having.

Can't see this happening. He wanted to leave because Pep had already told him he wouldn't be a regular starter. But they will probably want to give the new manager a chance to make his own mind up.

THANK FUCK FOR THAT.

If PSG don't turn this around it will be terrible for football. We simply can't have anti-football teams like this Arsenal side doing this and getting away with it.

After reading this Sterling thing... I do get the feeling sometimes that there is something of a drug culture in football. It might not be widespread but I think it's common (young guys with a lot of money) and I also think that it's covered up by the authorities as it's not performance enhancing.

Evidence that the simulation has a virus/we live in an alternate reality is mounting up. What the fuck is going on?

Alexia Putellas is leaving Barca. Apparently London City Lionesses are after her. What am I missing, although she may be 32, surely she's exactly who we should be signing if we want to build our ladies team further?

Relief.

I don't know why I bother with FIFA/EAFC I play seasons and the number of times you're playing with someone, they rage quit and the match just gets ignored/lost is infuriating. It's been going on for years, surely they can find a better way of ensuring you get the right result recorded.

Madders struggled in this game, understandably, but some of the ways we contrive to give the ball away are just appalling.

One more... do everything.

Yuck, that was grim.

Bugger

It's time to stop being shit about how stuff is presented in the media. We live in a world where we've been trained and attuned to advertising speak, meaning if we don't use it properly, messages simply get lost. Trump understands this. The left must do this too...

Gutting for Hearts.

Gutting for Hearts, but for all the awfulness of VAR, which needs to be completely overhauled or scrapped, these are the type of clear and obvious decisions that it was introduced to quickly clear up.

That could be a pen

These balls were winning back in their half… it’s not looking refined yet, but I can’t remember us ever doing that under TF/IT… we’d just let them have it and come at us in waves. One day I’ll let this go, but fucking hell, how did Frank last so long?

Am I allowed to want a West Ham win on the condition they get 8 - 10 injuries to their first team? Not career ending, just 3 or 4 weeks out.

As I have said more than once now, The US is no longer a functional democracy, it is a paper thin façade which people in the US and the rest of the world perpetuate, because to admit democracy has failed in the US would likely compromise the stability of the entire western world.

Listening to The Game podcast. I can't believe the extent to which Alison Rudd is still pro-Frank. She is perfectly happy to ignore the evidence of her own eyes. Crazy.

FFS City, the weekend was going so well…

Yes 100% we’ve been undercut by the injuries, but imagine where we’d be if we hadn’t appointed that fraud as manager and actually had someone getting us to attack, we’ve done this performance without a playmaker, but with the belief to go forward. We’d lose this game under Frank.

I know Villa have changed their team up, but finally we’re playing like we know how to attack. What the fuck was Frank thinking all season, terrible selections, terrible tactics, terrible philosophy. Tudor too, just too scared to attack. Keeping it away from our goal and near theirs, so so simple.

Just dropped by to say If it's a meem, why is it written meme? It's either being spelt wrong or said wrong. With that in mind, henceforth, I will be pronouncing the word me-me; allowing me to maintain the same spelling and as I never say the word out loud anyway, there will be no noticable change.

If your survival as a business is contingent on paying your employees a wage which not sufficient for them to cover the cost of living, you’re not a business, you’re a parasitic leech on society. A proper minimum wage is essential.

In news that socks literally no one, John Terry announces that he is a bit racist.

Goal came seconds after my phone died, so I probably will be taking that as a sign to not watch the rest of the season. Gutted Everton couldn’t make it stick and let WHam back in. We go again.

If there was any previous doubt, there’s none now. It’s between us and West Ham. Our path to safety is razor thin and relies entirely on us becoming a winning football team immediately.

Come on Palace. Obviously.

I'm struggling to see it with Gallagher. Get him off and bring Bergvall on surely? Or Gray.

We've started well... I know I shouldn't tempt fate, but the story of games like this is Brighton score with their first shot, probably from outside the box. (I'm not counting that scramble as a shot).

Why do so many men wear pants under their swimming trunks. It's not something that happened when I was younger but for some reason men in their 20s have been taught that's a normal thing by... Fuck knows who. Guys, don't wear your skidmarked undies in the pool. It's weird behaviour.

What's so mad about where we are is the player that made Spurs tick when we were at our peak was Eriksen. (Not Kane, Alli or even Dembele). Obviously we needed to have great players across the board, but we missed him so much when he was injured and then when he was sold. And before that? Modric.

So many stories about players we'll sign if we stay up. 1. Who feels confident we'll stay up? 2. Which football players look at Spurs & think 'that looks a good move for my career'? 3. Surely good planning means knowing who we'll sign if we go down - is any planning being done?

I am trying to lean more into football & less politics (especially US politics) as I feel like my posting here is a bit 'bipolar' (pls excuse my use of that word). That said, there is no fucking way that Starmer wasn't told Mandy had failed vetting. This was 100% his call & others made to suffer.

This is excellent

I am going to risk asking a difficult question... How do you feel about the time left this season? Do you wish that there was as much as possible, giving time to change course, or are you just desperate for it to be over, no matter what, so we can move on.

Following this result, I believe this is the first time since we were relegated in 1977, that our destiny (with regard to staying in the league) is not in our own hands.

If it's not a penalty, I don't understand why we don't get the corner? I mean it is crazy we've not had one all season (honestly, have we really not been fouled a single time in the 18 yard box?!) But to then penalise us by not giving the corner?!

I've just realised it's not unrealistic that Millwall will be in the Premier League next season and we will not. 🫠

The news about Kudus today has made me think a bit about him & his contribution. I don't know whether this is something I should say out loud, but I haven't particularly enjoyed Mo Kudus at Spurs this season. I am very aware I need to add some context to this comment though. A short(ish) thread.

Like many players in the past, I was gutted when Harry left Spurs. But he's been the best striker in the world for a decade and it's taken this move for the world to truly take notice. He deserves the Ballon d'Or and I genuinely hope he wins the CL with Bayern. What a player, what a goal scorer.

So far Spurs are dealing with the RDZ issue with the classic... *Looks around room* "Elephant? What elephant? I don't see an elephant."

This isn't news, but... Twitter is fucking grim.

I honestly thought they'd see the reaction and change course. I am either stupid or in spite of everything, still wearing rose tinted glasses. Regardless, they have contrived to bring me back down to Earth with a bump. It's the hope that kills you afterall. #COYS #THFC #Spurs #NoToDeZerbi

It's done. Fucking hell. I have no idea how to handle this.
