Tippy Tappy football is boring, long ball football with long throws, etc is skill free - what exactly do you lot want from your teams?

Can I disagree? Leam Richardson is turning us into a Big Sam team

With the exception of Champion’s League, I don’t watch Spanish or German football, so can’t comment.

It’s pointless responding to you anyway, as based upon your last sentence you seem to want to ram your opinion down my throat.

I'm not trolling and would genuinely like to know what you base entertaining football on. Surely it's goals and attacking football? During the course of a match every side has spells where they step off it and pass it around. I personally found City boring in the year they won the treble as they turned into a winning machine with Haaland and used to waste time with Grealish and Silva winning cheap free kicks so I do understand your point to a degree. Overall they've been a very entertaining team for the neutral IMO.

I don’t care if we play like a prime Pulis team as long as we win

 

[anotherdouble]

Yep, agreed but when will people listen?

They won’t

No, seriously no. Pulis was at the Boro for a while. Reasonable record but it was devoid of entertainment, seriously boring. 4lex would have loved it

I am gobsmacked that a penalty wasn't given there.

Is Cucurella the next in the line of really unlikable players

Pretty sure he had been on that list for a few years

Maybe

“Motsepe also announced the creation of the African Nations League, which will take place in September, October and November every year from 2029.”


And of course the AFCON will also at times still be held in Jan

Spurs aimless passing, finally passed into touch.
Never heard of a through ball. Just pass it to the player it’s easiest to pass to.
You can see “training ground “ mentality reigns.

 

[Swango1980]

That was silly.

 

[Arthur Wedge]

He didn’t need to do that

 

[clubchamp98]

Just can’t see our tactics.
We’re getting in each others way down the left.
Need Isak on and play down the wings to feed him and Eketike.

Stupid challenge what a muppet.

Poor by Romero. And not sure the goalkeeper knew where his goal was

 

[anotherdouble]

Anyone know why that plank pulls his shorts down below his butt cheeks in his goal celebration. #gangster

 

[Arthur Wedge]

Great finish from Isak but looks a bad ankle injury
