Spurs fans do too. He’ll likely do the same as the others.

He seems a top bloke though.

He's a likeable chap. I'm sure I heard he managed one of our clubs in the City group.

Spurs can concentrate solely on the league until January as they're also out of the league cup.
I can't stand Spurs but I do like their new manager.
He's got them playing some good stuff, the players seem to have bought into his philosophy and it looks like a happy ship from the outside
I don't think they've got enough to win the league but I think they'll be right up there.

Ange is likeable guy. Agree they are in better place and can pull something off with momentum Richarldson is scoring.

Rodri received a push in the centre of his back that totally floored him, immediately prior to his sending off, Taylor completely ignored it. He also couldn't hide his sly smile as he showed Rodri the red card.

Whilst Rodri undeniably lost his cool and overreacted, it was partly because our players were frustrated at Taylor's failure to blow the whistle and protect them.

Is there any way the club can reasonably object to Taylor's appointment for future City games? He seems to subtly and consistently shaft us.

They could make a complaint, ironically Forest made a complaint after they were shafted at The Swamp by Attwell.
Nothing has been made public about the outcome of their complaint.
I doubt City will complain and if we did we'd probably be fobbed off by Red Howard.

The PiGMoL conspiracy is not very effective.

P6 W6 D0 L0. Have it.

Arsenal are yet to be known.
In my opinion, Spurs may make a push this year.
Dippers kicked off at quarter to 6 on a Thursday. Enough said.

I do think being in the UCL will make a difference for Arsenal in the long run when it comes to their league challenge.
They've got to balance both and you can't rest half a team in the UCL like you could in The Europa and get away with it.
It's a new thing for their players and manager and experience or lack of it will tell over the course of a long, hard season.
Spurs and Dippers will benefit from no European/Europa football respectively this season when it comes to challenging for the league.

Take consolation in the fact it still usually fails because we're too good.

And sorry if it’s already been posted, but why - following Rodri’s supposed Violent Conduct sending-off - did the game restart with a throw-in?

Not partly but solely cause of taylor.

I think it had gone out for a throw in before it all kicked off.

Ball had already gone out of play ;-) no decision made, should have been a foul on Rodri.
