  1. Hard to feel sorry for Conte, £140 million spent this summer already and so many players out on loan, if you want a squad it's there. Pathetic whining
  2. Quality from Lewis. He's so good for the sport, I get his critics, but he's the best driver in the world and he's a character that people love to hate, but does so much good for the sport ultimately. Mercedes put together a perfect car for the weekend, that drive from Bottas was great. Shout out to Danny Ric too, brilliant stuff again. Karma for Vettel
  3. That's just wrong. Apart from Sissoko and Nkoudou the rest are very good squad players. Winks is going to be top drawer
  4. I've waited 20 years for this my friend - got to enjoy it
  5. Like last season? We had an awful spell of injuries. Kane out for months, Alderweireld out for months, Vertonghen, Dembele, Rose, Lamela etc. massive players in our team out for lengthy spells but we coped more than adequately. As I said I'm not particularly concerned. We had some terrible luck last year but we came through it pretty well. It was a minor reason - Wembley and a lack of experience cost us more. Sissoko is clearly not good enough, and needs upgrading (Barkley perhaps), but Lamela is an excellent option if fit, and Janssen will be better this season I'm pretty confident. We still need another forward option I think, that could play wide, with Kane, or on his own on occasion, but Son has sort of filled that role remarkably well. Yes in an ideal world we'd buy more options, but it's not essential.
  6. It isn't and you're deluded if you think it's as good as Arsenal squad's of old. Nothing about it scares me at all. Very few top drawer players in it, and a lot of overrated and overhyped individuals that have failed season after season to progress. Big if on fitness too, players like Cazorla, getting on now and just can't stay healthy, pointless including them. It might be better depth in your squad but in terms of actual quality not at all. Give me our first 14/15 players over yours. We're not busy because we don't need to be. We can't spend the money to improve the team, because prices are ludicrous and first team is very good. You've spent £50 million on a player that wouldn't get in our side. United have spent over 100 million on two players that again wouldn't start for us. Liverpool the same with Salah. We'll no doubt sign a couple towards the end of the window to try and improve the bench, but i'm more than happy with the way things have gone. PS. Depth is the most overrated thing imaginable. A few years back we had probably the best 'depth' in the league, but wouldn't swap it for a better team. Look at Leicester, didn't win the league because of squad depth.
  7. Weakest squad I can remember you having in a very long time. So much dross - only a handful of players that can really cut it at the highest level.
  8. Na Brentford will never go up, Toony's right. They messed up getting rid of Warburton and trying some ridiculous new backroom system - blew the best shot they had.

    Best holiday destination in Europe for me the Greek islands. Love them. Greeks are also incredibly friendly people, very family orientated and extremely hospitable.
  10. Lewis is having absolute no luck again this year, feel for him a bit.
  11. Way to ruin my wind up, thanks mate.
  12. Most Germans are Apart from Tsubs, I love Tsubs
  13. As Rando said saw one of your ITK's had said it will be announced tomorrow - Everton fans seemed to trust his info so assume he's reliable.
  14. Agree with all of that. Ricciardo is a top guy. Hamilton was the quickest over the weekend but these things happen sometimes in racing. Vettel was a petulant child, but had a good race after that. Happy for Stroll
  15. Can't believe what i'm reading. Vettel is a prick - 10 second stop and go wasn't enough really Feel for Hamilton because he was cruising and something so flukey as a headrest has cost him the race
  16. Shakespeare will be gone by Christmas - smart move by Appleton
  17. Honestly think you're wasting money on Dembele, such a step down from Lukaku. Goals in Scotland mean very little. Every time I've seen him his all round game has looked poor

    This has been bloody brilliant from Pakistan, and loved seeing India smashed.
  19. Agree - last night he should have dropped Alli deeper to get on the ball. I didn't realise quite just how bad our depth is in central midfield. It's a real weak point. I like the 5-3-2 formation we played but it wasn't utilised properly, and our centre backs may not be good enough to be honest.
