Imagine subjecting yourself to the lifelong torment of being a Tottenham fan.

A few weeks ago they were on top of the world and ready to build Ange a statue out of all his manager of the month awards. 4 losses in 5 have brought them crashing back to reality and I'm absolutely loving every moment of it.

With 4 teams ahead of them and another 4 right behind them (within 3 points) their next few games are going to be VERY important.

Arsenal have told potential suitors Aaron Ramsdale is for sale in January if an adequate bid arrives, per source.

they're pretty reliable, I hope they're wrong this time though... definitely not just copium

Am I crazy in thinking City won't win the league? They lost 5 and tied 5 last year and already have 3 of each this year. They would need to win 19 of 23 games to get 89 points, and I just can't see them doing that.

I think it'll be someone else. I'm not convinced it'll be us.

[–] Astrealix 3 points 1 year ago

gotta believe, at least. That's the minimum.

Interesting Newcastle lost 3-0 to Everton. Wouldn't have predicted that scoreline

[–] Gingerrific 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I was expecting Newcastle to build upon last year, and be what Villa is this year. Top 6 is looking really competitive.

Hell, I'd argue anyone West Ham and up have a shout at top 4, only six points between them and Man City in fourth.

[–] Astrealix 2 points 1 year ago

not likely, not at all, but there's definitely a chance, especially if injury woes continue and one of those kicks on.

I'm imagining 6' 6" Kai Havertz just letting it rip, putting his foot through the ball and shooting a thunderbolt but he just doesn't have that. I don't have a word for it. What is it that lets some players have a propensity to taking shots from distance? The force he could generate with his long legs 😮‍💨makes me wonder.

He's like a pair of parallel sticks trying to play football.

@SoupACabra @GunnersBot but Clive keeps mentioning seeing him banging them in so he must be able to do it!

Jonas actually won manager of the month.... I mean yeah on paper it's deserved, but has anyone seen how we actually played???

[–] Astrealix 2 points 1 year ago

Lacasse won it, is the way I'm thinking about it XD

To be fair, he did contribute, for sure. I'll allow it, no one was particularly stand-out.
