    Romelu Lukaku

    I've been a big fan since we bought him from Anderlecht. I've always thought he was destined to become great and he appears to be living up to that potential. He's really improved the weak points in his game since he joined Everton and looks like a much more complete striker. 21 goals and 6...

    Premier League Games 18/19 March

    I've been traveling for work, thanks. I think we'd have done alright in the CL, but we wouldn't be close to winning it. As I said in the Spurs thread before, we're essentially a less good version of Juventus at the moment. Hopefully Conte is given the backing to get the players he wants in...

    Premier League Games 18/19 March

    Hard fought win against a resolute Stoke playing their usual thuggish tactics. Fighting hard to grind out the points until the end when you're already 10 points ahead is a testament to why Conte dominated the league in Italy. We haven't been this relentless since 2005/06. Good thing Hazard...

    Spurs 2016/17

    I don't think anyone expected us to do this well even if last season's position was obviously not a true reflection of the level of this team. Everyone was focused on Mourinho vs Pep, and of course it was definitely going to be Liverpool's year this year up until February. Conte has worked...

    Premier League and FA's Plan To End Illegal Streaming Of Football

    They need to make it more affordable and more accessible. These exclusive TV deals mean you need to have both Sky and BT to watch all your team's games in this country, which costs thousands a year. Even then you don't get to watch all the games because ridiculous rules like the 3PM blackout...

    Spurs 2016/17

    I lurk from time to time. I've done a lot of traveling for work over the last few years, only recently settled again. No shame in losing to Monaco this season, not to mention the fact that you weren't at WHL but I agree with the point. Gent was a bit of a humiliation. I think you have good...

    United 2016/17

    It'll be interesting to see if Mourinho persists with his recent (poor) imitation of Conte's 3-4-3 against Middlesbrough. Zlatan, Pogba and Herrera out whilst Middlesbrough have just sacked a manager, looks like a banana skin.

    Europa League 16th March

    We at least had to beat Basel (who were decent at the time) and Benfica to win it; with the likes of Inter, Leverkusen, Napoli and Atletico Madrid being knocked out in other brackets to the final. It's pretty appalling that Spurs and Liverpool haven't won this competition a few times between...

    Spurs 2016/17

    Spurs have been the most impressive team for me this season. Consistently punching above their weight considering the financial clout they have to contend with. Not the team I wanted in the FA cup semis, but it'll be a good spectacle in any case. I wouldn't begrudge them a trophy this season...

    silva v mata

    Silva's just a much better fit for that Spain side. Bale would have had a hard time getting in there too. The point I'm making is he had two incredible seasons. In those seasons he was objectively better than Silva. Everything I point to is some kind of objective measurement rather than my...

    Is the top 4 now a closed shop again?

    It really shouldn't be. Liverpool have spent a fortune and really shouldn't be a shite as they are. Spurs you can forgive because they're just not on the same planet financially, but the Bale money should have been invested more wisely. They're the only two with a hope, but they had a decent...

    silva v mata

    I really don't think it's such a ridiculous claim to make when he was posting numbers better than both Iniesta and Ozil and single handedly carrying our team for almost two years. The fact that he was our player of the season for two years running tells the rest of the story. The only...

    silva v mata

    He was by every objective measurement we can use. Mata scored more goals and made more assists with fewer minutes. He also did this in a much weaker team than Silva at the time. Silva had Aguero while Mata had Torres. Their other stats like pass completion, dribbling etc were all very close...

    silva v mata

    That hot spell lasted two seasons, and for those two seasons he was at least Silva's equal. He's only declined since he went there. Who can say what happened to him, but they also managed to turn Di Maria to shit when he was second only to Ronaldo/Messi last season.

    Liverpool Thread 2014/15

    I think he likes Ferguson moreso than United. The two had been on good terms for a long time. If United are up there challenging us next year, I expect them to get the same shit he gives everyone else during a season. They haven't been our competition since he's been back; but Liverpool (last...

    Liverpool Thread 2014/15

    I wouldn't mind throwing the game for them like they did to give us the title in 2010, but Mourinho wouldn't give them the flu. Unfortunately if they fail to beat us, United could lose the final two games and still make 4th. They've left themselves too much to do.

    silva v mata

    When he was with us I thought he was better. He was never as talented but his productivity was unbelievable. His best season here had him as statistically the best playmaker in Europe. Since he moved to United it's not even close. I always regretted losing him. Mourinho could have made an...

    Chelsea Thread 2014/15

    I think you make some good points, but our attack was dulled not only because of the reversion in style after WHL, but also because Fabregas had his usual winter dip in form and we started losing Costa (and Remy) for long periods. All of this contributed. We're just so clinical that we don't...

    Arsenal Thread 2014/15

    At the end of every season Arsenal get giddy about how good they look for next season. Then they always disappoint. Arsenal only seem to become relevant after titles are decided.

    Chelsea Thread 2014/15

    I'm not too worried about the CL. We just had a bad campaign. Over the last 5 seasons we've been the only English team to have good campaigns and we've consistently gotten far. We're good at countering the best European sides. Against PSG we were just shit all around. The players were poor...
