Sets him up well for coming here then.

I haven't watched sporting, but I have this thing in my head that they play like one of the peak Mourinho teams.... 

 

Someone please tell me I'm wrong

I can’t be sure because tonight was the first time I’ve seen them but it didn’t look anything like shithouse Mourinho stuff to me.

 

I was underwhelmed with the first half but thought they played well in the second half.

[3 Stacks]

It was 1 vs. 2 in that league. You can't expect one team to be vastly superior than the other but even so, Sporting created a bunch of dangerous counters that came to nothing because Gyokeres looks like a worse Nunez. Which is to say; very involved, big, and runs fast, but has the brain of a squirl.

 

And in the end, they won and will most likely win the title.

[Creator Supreme]

Just watching MOTD, are Villa shit or was Reguilon absolutely superb on the left wing for Brentford today?

 

He was involved in every goal, and got the assist on the second and third. He barely looked a footballer at Spurs and United.

Arsenal are very good. Odegaard is a twat and annoying but fuck me does he work hard and press well. Their defence is also solid. But as someone above said, we need them to concede first to hope it upsets their flow. 

 

Sadly Douglas Luiz got booked in the 97th minute today, so he misses the game against them next week. Little things like that going for you is what you need and they are getting them breaks right now.

 

But no title race this close can be won in cruise control, so I think there will be 1 or 2 games that don't go to plan for them. We need them to drop points to give us some breathing space. 

Their results this calendar year are unreal.

Absolute scenes in Sevilla. Third biggest club in Spain wins their first trophy for 40 years. Fans visibly shaking.

That is an incredible run, which is why I don't know why a lot of folks here are just dismissing them. Defensively they are sound and they score more than once in almost every game. They have their full squad fit too and are having decisions going their way in pretty much every game. 

 

Huge contender for title for me, as much as I hate them. Cunts.

Yep. They’re doing what a side with top infrastructure, a good manager + mega money should. Looking at their remaining fixtures and it’s clear that it’s essentially impossible that they’ll drop any more points this season.

Realistically, a similar level of investment is going to be absolutely essential to keep us in the same stratosphere as them and City after Klopp leaves.

I don't like them - especially that little blert manager - but i have never understood the way some look at them.

 

They've spent money really well last couple of years after years of wasting it.

 

They've got a squad full of quality and all at really good ages.

 

I've said it before they remind me of us around 2018 ish - a side on the cusp of potentially very big things. They've had what a lot of title winning sides often have with a near miss season and they've kicked on after it and look a team who could win it now.

 

Hopefully not, and as I say I don't like them - but for me you have to respect what they are.

Sadly, it doesn’t need to - just a few more weeks.

Great seeing Bilbao lift the Copa del Rey - lived there in the 90’s - love the city and the San Mames.

Brilliant. Made up

for them.

I always see things about Son and spurs fans saying everybody loves him he's impossible to hate, I think he's a massive snide prick and fake as fuck. You just know like a spidey sense.

A few say the same thing, including Dave. I never understood why though - Son has come across alright for me.

[AngryOfTuebrook]

What the fuck were those pricks (all strikers) in the MOTD studio farting on about over that disallowed Wolves goal?  It was textbook offside and quite rightly disallowed.

But the cheats are irrelevant if we drop points tomorrow as long as Arsenal keep winning, which seems likely.

Arsenal will drop points.

It wasn't that long ago they were diving and crying all over the place against Brentford and squeezing through on pens against Porto. They're on a run, no doubt about that but there will be a game where they go behind. What I saw against Brentford wasn't pretty.

[George Costanza]

Ben White should be banned for 5 games for that pathetic cheating yesterday. Hope someone seriously injures him now the fucking cunt.

Absolute vile cunt him. Against his old team mates as well. Arsenal are full of them though. Cannot stand that Gabriel. Odegaard also. Saka gets decisions Salah can only dream of. And as for the manager.

At a couple of Brighton corners in that Arsenal game, Rice was basically blocking off Dunk like it was American 'football'. Not surprisingly, he got away with it.
