And, we’re off.......2018/2019

Didn’t have the best players in the league though and didn’t spend as much as city

That’s my point he basically has the best available to him

Messi
Robben
Etc

Why is this thrown at Pep and Jose etc, they get the best jobs and the most money because they get results.
It’s a business and their liveliehoods.

Enough managers fail each season why do “we” the supporter expect them to take risks?

When they look for the next boss of any huge business etc they won’t look at A.N. Other who’s done a great job as a branch manager in Margate, they’ll look at those who operate at the top and consider one of them.

Jose I’d say less, look at when he went to Chelsea he may have had money but they had no history , he made them what they were
Barca were already a force

Sorry mate, you really need to look at Chelsea’s history, bit disrespectful to say they’d had none, they were winning European trophies in the 90’s and Cups prior to 2003 when Abramovich bought them.

Ambramovich certainly took them to the next level, but Jose had come from Porto via Barca and won European titles and a national league

Yeah funny how he doesn’t consider going to a rubbish team & also take a massive pay cut.

😂😂

Just an observation, in the majority, all non-English teams playing in the CL last week and this week had or are having 1 day extra rest, ie Schalke/Juventus played last night, everyone else bar Lpool are playing today!
When is our PL and FA actually going to start to at least try and help the PL Clubs. Sky should to told to avoid televising and moving those Clubs around, unless it is in the Clubs favour.

Couldn't understand why City are playing at 5.30 today. Mind they have had a week off. Not much recovery time for players.

The clubs sign a tv deal knowing what the rules are. It's disingenuous for them to complain about sky after taking the money.
Potch et al should be complaining about his owner's greed, not the Premier League fixture sec.

Crikey the pundits love a bit of VAR... Gives them something else to pick the bones out of I suppose...

Mental challenge that from Knockaert in the first 30 seconds of a big game. Could easily have been sent off for that.

This could easily go in the random irritations thread. When a manager comes to the PL and then starts complaining about the fixture schedule. Surely they knew about it before they took the job, and the massive salary that goes with it, and if they didn't then they should have done their research prior to taking the job. If you don't like how the PL schedule the fixtures then don't take the job.

Its alright, we won’t make it too difficult for you today!

 

[Dan2501]

Hell of a hit from Knockaert to win the game, but could argue he shouldn't have even been on the pitch. Great goal though, Out-Townsended Townsend.

 

[Pin-seeker]

Pickford is a very lucky boy.

 

[pokerjoke]

Pickford for England?

 

[Pin-seeker]

😂😂
He’s pants.

 

[Dan2501]

Bloody dreadful. From 2-0 up to lose 3-2, pathetic.

Big win for Southampton as well, Spurs spot in 3rd nothing close to safe now. United can go level with them with a win on Sunday, Arsenal can go just a point behind them.

 

[Deleted member 15344]

Good Old Rafa - great win , Pickford 😂😂😂

And with Spurs losing again if Utd win tomorrow they are level on points , Chelsea win their two games in hand could go above

Is it now a 4 team race for 3rd and 4th - could Spurs miss out on a top four ! That’s three league games in a row with Kane back and is it Nil point ?

Pure coincidence,Dont be a tit Phil.

As for Pickford, well, erm.....

Last week after he made a save against Salah in the 1st half, the scoreboard flashed up "Englands No. 1" 😂😂
