    Andre Schurrle retiring. What a shame.

    Any time I read new Mourinho quotes I just feel so bad for the Spurs guys in here. Dude should have retired and walked off into the sunset after coming back to Chelsea and winning his third title with them. He seems to absolutely loath the fact that he’s still actively managing a team.

    Everything I'm reading seems like he's been positive about the Spurs? Idk, I think Mou gets a lot of shit, he's done a decent job so far, it's early, he was dealt a shit hand, but we're improving a bit based on where we were at the start.

    I know I'm falling into Mou's trap but I can dream

    Yeah everything seems good and positive until the wheels fall off and you realise he’s been bullshitting for a long time.

    Man wanted to sell Martial. AND he got me to think that was a good idea. He branded Pogba a virus and got over half of the United supporters backing him on that. He said Rashford and Martial couldn’t play together on the pitch. Everything seems ok when he says it, it’s hindsight that opens up how much bullshit he comes out with.

    I never believed the Martial slander.

    I thought he couldn't play up front. He was a little lax in his pressing and hold up play. This year he has thankfully made a fool out of me.

    The french prince. I was so bummed for him not being on the WC team.

    Leeds are going up if this Huddersfield score stays the same. That said, it's even better news for Brentford tommorow.

    Leeds still need a point, no?

    Oh no I’m being stupid.

  11. I’m sure he’s bullshitting us on some things, like with Ndombele, but his overall approach has been fine. He’s mainly talked about the mentality of the club, which has always been the punchline with this club. I don’t know if he can change it but he seems to be making an impact so far despite some poor performances.

    It hasn’t been the most ideal start for him by any stretch, but I’m willing to give him a chance. If we win our last two games we’ll likely finish 6th. When he got here we were in 14th. I’ll take that considering all the circumstances of this season.

    Leeds will get a safe six points off us next season.

    hmmm

    Really pleased for Leeds. My mum's a Leeds fan and she was absolutely heartbroken last season. They've come back exceptionally well.

    Bielsa in the Premier League should be fun.

    Here's a poser: Is this Bielsa's greatest achievement?
     
  18. Wish Poch was still here so we could be apart of his first game against Bielsa. He seems to have been a huge influence/mentor for Poch.

    I really like the look of Soucek. It's not too much to ask for another Czech golden generation is it?

    Hard to rank them as I don't know too much detail about his Newells Old Boys league wins that made him a legend there, but I think I'd put it above the Bilbao Europa League and Spanish cup finals he reached & lost for example, the Championship is a tough league for sure.

    Bielsa has always been more about style than substance before, even his biggest fans can admit that. But this is a fantastic achievement.

    I actually wonder if the pandemic played to the advantage of Leeds. Normally Bielsa sides tire as the season goes on but a big gap might have allowed them to recharge and go again.

  24. Ole complaining about VAR is funny.

    (but I’m glad he is anyways because they need to fix that shit)

    @fangclubb Prestigious

    He’s not wrong. There’s somehow a narrative that we’ve benefited from VAR. but it’s just not the truth. We’ve had a lot “go against” us as well. Palace at the weekend should have had a penalty, but they made a similar tackle near the end that should have been given too.

    People mention our penalties in relation to VAR but I’m pretty sure all of them were given by the refs on the pitch and were all clear penalties.

    that said it’s fun everyone is starting to hate us again :devil:
