Oh that was a poor goal to concede.

 

[Embattle]

Very poor goal to concede.

 

[Raven]

Omnishambles of a defence.

 

[Shagrat]

Cahill didn't have a clue what to do there

 

[Embattle]

Well worked goal.

 

[Raven]

As per usual I was away from my PC for the Chelsea goal, wife needed a hand.

Seems to happen pretty much every game at the moment.

Your wife needs a hand every game?

Where do people think PSG would be in a hard league?

 

[Embattle]

Fuck me we so should of had another goal by now.

 

[Embattle]

I'm never really sure Martin Keown knows what he is talking about at times, I read his comments and they seem like perhaps we both watched a different game.

Shame time for the CL break I guess.

 

[Lethul]

Where do people think PSG would be in a hard league?

They would most likely be top of PL, maybe second in spain?

 

[CorNokZ]

So this happened.. Best of all is that our fans found out first and broke the story on our weekly radio show, a day earlier than any other media

Football: Brondby boss quits after chairman slams him on Internet - using a false name

 

[Moriath]

I think about liverpool level

 

[Raven]

English teams are so wank in Europe this season.

 

[Raven]

Sturridge to go off injured in 3. 2.

 

[Scouse]

I hear we battered the mancs but de gayer was motm?

 

[Lethul]

Why did Tottenham not even try? Did they just protected their first 11 from being embarrassed or what was that?

 

[Raven]

I hear we battered the mancs but de gayer was motm?

He was outstanding in the first half, could have been 3 or 4 goals for Liverpool, didn't see the second.

 

[Raven]

I think Spurs are thinking about the premiership more, they absolutely have to get 6 points from their next 2 games.

 

[caLLous]

I would hope so, it's the only explanation for putting out such a weak team. You don't rest players against Dortmund when you've got fucking Villa at the weekend (no offense @Turamber).

Dortmund -> Villa -> Dortmund -> International break isn't it?
Feels like Spurs could've fielded a much tougher team, I was so looking forward to this game as a neutral

We have Bournemouth as well before the international break.

Yeah, Spurs fans were as well. It would've been a proper test but it looks like Poch is giving our core midfield players a ~2 week break to prepare for the Premier League run-in, which makes sense I suppose. It just sucks that we're sacrificing what could've been 2 excellent games for it. Alli was suspended last night for yellow card accumulation so he wouldn't have featured anyway but him and Eric Dier were seen (on Periscope) walking around central London on Wednesday while the official Spurs twitter account was tweeting pictures of the squad getting on a plane for Germany so Dier not being among them was the first red flag.

 

[Billargh]

Cya McClaren.

 

[Embattle]

Cya Newcastle.

 

[caLLous]

Here's hoping there's a sudden resurgence and they beat Leicester (and then go back to normal afterwards).

 

[Shagrat]

We're saved, Rafa's got the job!!

Rafael Benitez: Newcastle United appoint Spaniard as Steve McClaren's successor

 

[Billargh]

Said all week if we get a new manager I'm gonna hoy a tenner on us beating Leicester, even more confident now we have him. They have to slip up eventually!

We're going to be left with some serious blue balls if we go down though, first time in years we've had a top manager only for us to only have him for 10 games.

 

[Raven]

Looking at your fixtures I think he might just save you but there are some tough games.

 

[caLLous]

Real Madrid to Newcastle. Why in the fuck would he take that job?

 

[Moriath]

Money?
