    Scarlett hits brace to round off prolific international break

    Found some highlights on YT, he doesn't come on until the second half. His first is a nice finish beating the keeper with power at the near post and his second is a well worked tap-in. Looks like he's starting to fill his frame out a bit more which should help.

    Spurs face legal action over Solomon fee 'disrespect' - Shakhtar

    They didn't have a choice, his contract was voided due to the war.

    Ex-Manager watch: Antonio Conte

    I really don't think so, he seemingly isn't even sure about going as far as Napoli let alone Munich! Personally I think, with Allegri looking unlikely to renew and not exactly setting the world alight, he's waiting for the call from Juve in the summer.

    Funny that's come up today given there's a statement from him on the official club Instagram: I don't think we're going to be seeing him on the pitch again this season.

    Match Threads Aston Villa vs Spurs

    With their injury list and McGinn out for 3 that's a lot of hard games. I didn't think Man United could catch them before, but seeing that I think they're actually at risk of dropping out of the (possible) 5 CL spots. If that happens they're going to be in a financially sticky situation.

    Thank fuck Alphonso Davies is off to Real Madrid or they'd be coming knocking sooner rather than later.

    Match Threads Aston Villa vs Spurs

    Whilst I was nervous at 2 up I don't think the team was at all, we had that extra gear ready to go which we showed to get those first two goals and kicked it on again when the subs came on. getting 4 at Villa Park is a great result, now to make that game in hand count and get back into 4th!

    Great high pressing to win the ball back and then had the dribbling & cool head to put it on a plate for Timo, exactly what you want to see from a sub and it turned the game around

    So gutted for him, really hope this surgery can fix the problem for good and he can concentrate on football again whether that's still at Spurs or elsewhere.

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

    I'd say I feel a bit sorry for him but he should have never taken the job in the first place, even if he was desperate to move back to England. Not just because of the rivalry but because he's a project manager at a club whose fanbase (and spending) demands immediate results regardless of what...

    Think he keeps getting brought back too early and aggravating the same problem as Palace are desperate for points, same with Eze. Am I right in thinking Bergvall will eventually count as HG for both club and nation for PL and UEFA rules?

    I think we should adopt the tactic on corners but against every opposition player. If it's not a foul on the 'keeper then that's perfectly fine, right? The FA would be rewriting the rules before the final whistle was blown to expressly prohibit it.

    There was an bit of talk on Totally about Xavi leaving and one of the things that got brought up is that there's been tension between him and Deco who's now their DoF, Felix in particular got mentioned as a Deco pick rather than a Xavi one. I'd bet Roque was one of Xavi's to go along with the...

    Hopefully Xavi gives him a call and tells him to steer clear of that basketcase of a club!

    Malaria can be pretty variable and intermittent, Drogba played for about a month whilst suffering from it without treatment because they didn't realise he had it!
