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

    I think there also needs to be some acceptance of the fact that hundreds of different referees considering thousands of subjective decisions across the world are never going to be totally consistent.

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

    Thinking that being victimised or unfairly treated is a “victory” is part of the problem.

    That looks like...the correct decision to me.

    What Our Opponents' Fans Are Saying About Us

    Oh no! I’m worried now. We’ve messed with the wrong team. Now their fans are going to “hope we lose”.

    Player Watch: Davinson Sanchez

    There are also many occasions in they video where a top tier defender would gain control of the ball and, instead, Sanchez performs a sort of sliding tackle/pass hybrid. For example, given that this is supposed to be a video highlighting some of his best moments, would you expect his next touch...

    Player Watch: Davinson Sanchez

    I think this is a bit of Ndombele syndrome where during the first season everyone says, “he’ll be ok next season once he’s got used to the league”, and when he gets even worse people say “he did have a good first season though”. People were very complimentary about him after one particular game...

    Player Watch: Davinson Sanchez

    We definitely need a new CB, but I don’t understand the panic around selling Sanchez. Compared to last season, we have upgraded Sanchez to Van der Ven. Swapped Lenglet with Phillips. Considering that we are in two fewer competitions than last year and are playing two at the back rather than...

    Qatar 2022

    It would be pretty weird if the UK paid millions of pounds to bribe a corrupt organization for the right to host an event that we had no cultural connection to and in which consumption of khat, coca leaves etc. was a longstanding culturally ingrained aspect...and then banned it.

    Any word on whether Devine has signed a new contract now he’s 18?

    What Our Opponents' Fans Are Saying About Us 22/23

    As much as I like the idea, do you not remember the many games last season where exactly this happened and we lost?

    Arsenal

    Yes. This is correct. The real doubtful thing is whether xPC is a legitimate metric. It is hard enough to model xG, and I imagine that xPC is much harder again.

    Arsenal

    Looks like a very good player in the Youtube videos I've seen. Good first touch, can put a cross in and can play all sorts of passes, and a good dribbler too. Hopefully, it doesn't work out for him at Arsenal.

    Ranking Tottenham's Premier League Managers

    AVB at number 5 describing his time with “it was a hugely entertaining season” seems deeply wrong to me. I’d say his time was the least entertaining time I have ever experienced of being a Spurs fan. Crushingly dull matches where we passed the ball from side to side without ever looking like...

    Match Threads Norwich Vs Spurs

    I got Arsenal to finish top 4 at 22/1 immediately after the Newcastle game. So I cashed out Tottenham to finish top 4 for £190 (would have returned £200) and put £30 on Arsenal. I think the odds must have shortened because so many Spurs fans are emotionally hedging by betting on Arsenal.

    Is Krul their first choice or not? He seems to have started most of their games this season, but was on the bench for the last couple.

    Summer 2022 Window Scouting Thread

    This is one of the biggest "myths" that I see mentioned again and again on this site. Players values are amortised as part of the accounting procedures at football clubs. But that doesn't really tell you anything very useful about the true worth of the players or whether a club would expect...

    Ex-Manager watch: Antonio Conte

    How do they club have any idea whether he’ll be symptom free by the weekend? Seems like a weird thing to present as inside knowledge.
