Harry 1,437 Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 It's still a highly competitive league but it's held back by the backwards perspectives on racism and crumbling stadium infrastructure. I mourn the decline of Serie A but I don't want it to come back up until its properly sorted itself out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More chance of silverware and certainly more chance of playing in the Champions League next season. Tottenham really are in a bit of a mess at the minute. Really do feel like they've had their chance and blown it in terms of actually winning anything for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LFCMadLad 2,080 Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 Mourinho saying he cant believe Spurs didnt win? Mate, we hardly got out of third gear and should have been up by 3 or 4 goals by half time. A 10 minute rally at home doesn't mean you deserved to win Jose.

That's probably true but the squads are comparable, and Eriksen himself is one of the parties most responsible for where Spurs are actually at right now. If they replaced him with the player he was two years ago they'd be running pretty close in the battle for third. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The more Manchester United struggled post Mourinho the more I thought maybe he had a point. The more I see Tottenham under him the more I think both parties were a problem. I really do think Mourinho's likely finished at the top. 14 minutes ago, Harry said: That's probably true but the squads are comparable, and Eriksen himself is one of the parties most responsible for where Spurs are actually at right now.

Tottenham's recruitment (or lack of) has been a bit questionable for a little while in my opinion. Find it very bizarre how little their new buys seem to feature as well - and also how they've let their full backs go from one of the best pairs in Europe to legitimately worse than Wolves.

Man Utd finished 6th last season, Arsenal 5th If they beat Juve to a title it would not be like finishing 6th Form is temporary, class is permanent! ..Man City is still the best team in the world, just not the most consistent right now, don't get the 2 confused ..even when we lost at Anfield they couldn't give us a game, it was like what we did to united the other night but they some how got the ball in the net more than us, it's a funny old game!

I don't think that should be a red card challenge in football but anybody that can't admit he's very lucky to get away with that when you see some of the reds that get given these days, is being wilfully ignorant. I cant look at that Aubameyang challenge though. About as close as you can get to a horror injury for Meyer without it actually happening. I think I admitted Robertson knew it could have been a red card which is why you saw him go down feigning injury. It was the suggestion that it was the same as Aubameyang's that was ridiculous. They're not even close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inverted 1,776 Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 Got to laugh at that post asking "what's the difference" when in their own choice of photos, one looks so much more horrific than the other. "Hmmm what's worse, flying in studs up at full speed into the side of somebody's ankle, or overextending for a lost ball and grazing someone's shin pad in a 50/50". If you're studs up you're always at risk of a red, but speed, timing, risk of injury, and proximity of the ball are obviously major factors and can make a huge difference.

There's an angle where you can see Robertson trying to pull out to avoid or lessen the contact too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaaay AFC 357 Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 That's 100% a red for Robertson who cares if he won the ball he was high with his studs up and reckless. He goes in with far more force than Aubameyang as well. Only reason Auba's looks worse is he goes right on top of Meyer's ankle. Both reds for sure.
