    Arsenal

    I keep seeing this but it’s far from certain. Such a striker would take the place of a false 9 or whatever who from that different position is instrumental in helping to knit the approach play together. Never a point prover, I know, but City before Haaland were brilliantly fluid, and arguably...

    Arsenal

    Some parallels. Yeah. But after narrowly missing out, they spent 200 big ones. And will probably go again in the summer market. We didn’t. It’s good to laugh at them but if only we’d gone for it…

    Manager Watch: Ange Postecoglou

    Agree with all that, except this reference to kamikaze football. For their first goal, we have three back v two- Udog loses the 50-50, Romero switches off and VDV clearly forgot Isak has no left foot. We can all see Porro creates the chaos for the second, with VDV repeating his misjudgment with...

    Manager Watch: Ange Postecoglou

    Having both fbs in an already congested midfield doesn’t really seem to achieve much- we still intelligent runs and incisive passing

    Manager Watch: Ange Postecoglou

    That was of course unacceptable. Ange’s inability to get his team to defend corners, and quick counters, is hugely worrying. But worst of all they didn’t look motivated, played with no courage or fight. More of the same will see cricket scores in the next few weeks. Honeymoon well and truly over

    Gutless, lack of responsibility across the whole pitch. Not dealing with the corners started the rot. Fkin need that sorted

    Match Threads Newcastle vs Spurs

    This could be anything today. West Ham showed us the way, think it’ll boil down to who takes their chances. Barnes, Isak, Wilson, Murphy, they all seem to catch fire against us. Don’t understand the clamour for Hodgepodge to start. Fks up too often. Much less risk bringing him on as a...

    Spurs finances report 22/23 (swissramble writeup)

    Don’t look that good, does it? 6m a year for presiding over Nuno, Stellini, Spence, while putting up 40% of what the Arse owners have injected into their club, 1 league cup, Frazier Campbell Andy Booth… ah fck it, even I’m running out of energy digging him out. At least we ain’t got the...

    We’ll be playing twice a week next season. He’s a good option. Buy.

    Albert Gudmundsson

    I was impressed with Richarlison that day. And generally with players who do the same. And think Trossard made his own bed in how he left, so should be able to handle a few boos without resorting to that. Typical goon scum.

    The Summer 2024 scouting thread

    Let’s move on from those with poor injury records. Easy to love Olise, Neto but availability is just as important as character and of course ability.

    Match Ratings Ratings vs West Ham

    I’d go along with all that. Surprised every coach doesn’t crowd out Vic at corners. Vic didn’t deal with it, neither did Ange, this has to change. We also now have a problem with Ange trying to give Kulu opportunities when his play does not merit these. Leave JM on, or replace him with Gio...

    always play out of their skins against us- the latter has scored six v us in the Premier, fkin weasel

    with his driving runs forward, balance, he reminds me of a thinner, slightly better looking Gazza

    He is human after all- sometimes gives it simple but always looking to create and get forward. See the locals have resorted to kicking him up in the air most of the time

    The Summer 2024 scouting thread

    the key is to be able to see it before someone else buys him! His WC displays convinced me, and I wouldn’t have bought Kulu- as I said in the summer. Still, the ginger from Sweden has a lot of supporters so I ain’t gonna win this one. Wasn’t there something from an itk at the time suggesting...

    Team for West Ham...

    strongly agree with all those changes. Last time I think I saw Lolo in the deeper role De Zerbi did a great job on him with Welbeck smothering, but he was only half fit that day I think. Him and Gio together though generally click well.

    Arsenal

    I hate them lot down the road, but it’s going to be hard for them not to win things in the next year or two. Klopp going, City losing Gunda and peak KDB, Walker, them buying an elite striker, the demons are aligning. Fkin hope we add quality in the summer, otherwise we’ll be minding the gap again

    Player Watch Player Watch: Dejan Kulusevski

    all good and fair points, except singling Son out who he wrong-footed, but the rot started with him. We all have our faves, he’s obviously one of yours, but there’s no evidence he can play box to box which is what some are calling for- is there? I think he can play second striker or false...

    Match Ratings Ratings vs Luton

    Don’t know why Ange started with Biss or Kulu but eventually he got it right. Kulu slows our play down, doesn’t attack the back post or track his fb. Johnson was great, and Son drove us on. All subs did well. West Ham’s counters are going to be tough for our style to deal with, but if we go at...
