  • The thing with Conte is that he was brought in as a 'winner'. He wasn't brought into to build something - he was there to win trophies and get them regularly in the top four. They probably accepted the football would be quite dour at times and...
  • Typical caf. Gone from 'He's a great manager, how can he walk into Spurs and get them playing a new style whilst Ten Hag is struggling after a year - he's' to 'He's terrible' all in one season.

    To name Howard, Fabianski, Foster, Hart and Lloris - and then later say 'I have no idea why DDG is on any of your lists' is a surprising shout. They were all average to good PL keepers - Hart and Lloris had very good seasons and were more...

    Quality player. Fergie said he was the best natural defender we had at the club. However he was never really first choice CB due to injuries and being able to stay fit consistently. The one season he did was in 07/08 at RB, and he was fantastic.

    Thought the ref was really poor for the fight. Haney should have been deducted a point for excessive clinching. You can tell he never really expected that beatdown and he couldn't handle Garcia's power. It would be good to see the fight again -...

    Garcia weighed in 3 pounds overweight. Paid Haney $500,000 for each pound overweight apparently. Not really sure why this fight is going ahead with what's been happening with Garcia - unless it's all an act.
  • Yeah he's done really well. Is it a repeat of a club legend doing really well initially after taking over from Mourinho though? Like Ole
  • Never seen a statement blow up so quickly.
  • I agree his performances have been poor this season. In his defence, he's played nearly every minute since he's joined, played through injuries, always plays for Portugal and covers over 10km per game. That would have an affect on any player -...

    They'll probably have a large batch of youngsters that we don't know too much about that will fetch a decent fee. Even the likes of Gilchrist, Hall & Hutchinson.

    Did well to get a point considering where we were at HT. Stupid tackle by AWB, he doesn't need to live up to his nickname all the time especially in and around the box. Defence apart from that was pretty solid. Obviously the massive issue was...

    Keep turning the ball over too easily, Bruno especially even in deeper areas. Can't progress the ball well enough from the CB's. Need legs in the centre of the park.
  • I think he's a quality manager and he'd do very well at a big club. I can see him going Bayern in the summer.

    How's that a penalty? Crazy decision.

    In your opinion - the majority would disagree.
