    I don't think the angle was right for Johnson there but I could be wrong

    Great stuff from Sarr and Johnson

    Say what you will about individual fouls, but Ayew's certainly committed enough fouls that he should have been booked by now

    Don't think it's a coincidence that Bissouma (who missed out on Monday) is our best player so far

    Once again, I'd like to respectfully ask you to consider who you are choosing to have empathy for in this conversation: a group of people for whom coded language represents a wider pattern of discrimination and prejudice they experience in society, or someone who got mildly scolded on a message...

    It kind of feels like there are two different discussions happening here. Those who are defending the use of terms like "beast" are focused on the intent of the person using the term, almost as if it's a referendum on whether or not that person is racist. Because intent is personal, they can't...

    I couldn't agree more with you. The tone in this thread has become incredibly disingenuous, and I think a lot of people posting in here should approach topics like this with a lot less arrogance. When people get called out on using coded language, a lot of times their first response is to plead...

    Ex-Manager watch: Antonio Conte

    While I was annoyed at Conte's lack of personal responsibility in his meltdown over the weekend, I also understand the perspective of those of you on here who see our current problems as primarily the fault of ownership. In fact, I agree to a certain extent- Conte is by no means the biggest...

    Match Threads Spurs Vs Man City

    I came down with Covid on Friday, and since then we've beaten city and Chelsea and Arsenal have dropped points. I'm thinking about giving food poisoning a go for the match against Leicester but I'm open to suggestions

    Good half from Royal, and he's had a few decent games in a row now. I've been frustrated with him in the past (as we've all been) but when he does well he deserves credit like the rest of the squad.

    Harry Kane

    Still think it's better to be safe than sorry here. As an American, I would hate to see a half-strength Kane get embarrassed by world class defensive talents like Walker Zimmerman, and, um... Sergino Dest, and... okay, look, please just don't play him on Friday, okay?

    Eric Dier

    Well-deserved, really happy for him. I was worried we'd never see the best of him again after his health issues a few years back but he's obviously put in a lot of hard work, and it's nice to see it pay off.

    Let's All Laugh At... Let's all laugh at Chelsea thread

    Because a break necessarily comes with a drop in certain types of revenue, and unfortunately everything revolves around money in sports these days, football included. I've got no interest in watching mediocre exhibitions and would much prefer a no-frills winter break, but we're reaching a crisis...

    Let's All Laugh At... Let's all laugh at Chelsea thread

    A North vs. South all-star game is not a good idea on its own- baseball is a sport which lends itself well to all-star exhibitions in ways that football (or basketball, or American football) doesn't. The sport is a little less physical, and pitchers can ease up on pitches in ways that minimize...
