Both Spurs & Arsenal get unfairly targeted for negative coverage these days IMO. Their struggles are not that far removed from the likes of Chelsea/Liverpool/Manchester United, but you would not think it based on the way the football world discusses them.

 

Was going to say the same. Spurs and Arsenal are the current punching bags, it’s just how it is. Both clubs definitely deserve stick but it means when we both do good and sensible things, it gets ignored and derided anyway.

 

This is the most 2008 T-Pain music video thing i have ever seen

 

It’s just hilarious that so many news sources dunked on their transfers and Hitchens himself but now we’re losing “100s of years of experience” lol. I get criticizing them, they’ve done some truly stupid shit but sometimes it’s laughable

 

No-one is beating Chelsea as far as bad recruitment is concerned. For all AFC/THFC's failures in the last few transfer windows, at least they didn't spend £400m on like, 6 attackers who routinely get out-scored by defenders lol

 

And they just keep spending which is why it’s largely ignored haha

 

I never knew about this, woah

 

In better news, Son and Romero are now fully fit and available for Saturday's match.

I'm hoping the back 3 turns into Dier - Romero - Sanchez. I've been pretty happy with how well Sanchez has played recently and I wanna see this trio over Davies starting and see how it works out.

 

Never let me complain about Emirates Stadium prices ever again…

 

Super Bowl being in Los Angeles where all the celebs live = $$$$$$ lol

When the Panthers made the Super Bowl I set an alert with stubhub to notify me if tickets every became available for 1500 or less and it never happened. Although, we lost so I'm very glad it didn't haha

 

Aren't 50% of all Super Bowl tickets also given to corporations/NFL sponsors? Like, there are very few actual fans (I'm sure you're shocked) of either team there.

 

Reo Hatate is having quite a Old Firm derby. Two great goals.

 

Sounds like the Washington NFL team wanted to by the Washington D.C. Football Club which then would be shortened to DCFC. Got flagged by their lawyers because a certain Detroit City Football Club has that trademarked along with having the same colors.

 

Yep. Found that out this week too. Disgusting.

 

Wow.

 

It’s truly stunning how they’ve managed to do this and still being players in. I’m genuinely baffled.

 

Crazy Ole Firm debut for Reo Hatate. Two goals and an assist in a 3-0 win.

 

you can’t knock that for a debut old firm.

I had an evening class tonight so wasn’t able to watch too much of it (thankfully). As a rangers fan, the first 10mins I could tell it was going to be a disaster. Pegged in at our own corner flag

fair play to big ange, i liked him from get go. But I really thought it would take him longer to get you guys back up and running.

 

Oh I’m not a Celtic fan haha. I actually just looked it up to see how Amad did, not well apparently.

What’s going on with Rangers? Seems like a run of poor results and performances, is van Bronckhorst not up to the task?

 

Imagine reffing a 5* kick off temp game and deciding a hand warmer isn’t allowed.

 

McKennie!

 

I have this same Nike balaclava for running in the winter that most of them are wearing and it’s so wildly uncomfortable once you get sweaty. Impressive work by all these guys.

 

gotta score there

 

Acosta is looking really good tonight.

 

Walker!

We might need to swap goalies at half so Turner can defrost
