I am genuinely shocked that 8 games in, we're only a point behind Man City. Doubt we'll beat them, but there's a chance

Lloris out until January, it's been released. Damn, that really does suck and I hope he makes a full recovery. Injuries are no joke, no matter which team they play for

In all fairness that is the least of Spurs' worries, he has hardly played well anyway gifting two or three goals due to trying to play out from the back this season. They need a refresh fast or they could really put themselves up against it this season.

Lloris is also the team captain, now it's probably Kane taking that role. Maybe that will change something, it's kind of a possibility to reset things at least.

That was a sad hunt I just went on. I was confused why only one team is been relegated from League 2 this year. Isn't it normally 2? Has it always been one and my memory is that bad? I checked the National League (the league below) and there are 2 coming up? What? So the League will be one bigger next year? How many are been promotoed? 4 That's normal. Checked League 1 and was reminded that Bury have been expelled from the football League. So we need one more promoted than relegated from the divisons below to replace them. That explains it and it sucks. Poor Bury.

So, AC Milan sacked Marco Giampaolo after 7 games. I guess that makes the first bigger sacking of the season. While 3 wins and 4 losses isn't a great record, it still seems really hasty business.

Anyone got insight on what's going on?

The only insight I have into AC Milan is that Gazidis knows fuck all about what to do running a club. He greatly hindered us for years and I am still very surprised that he got such a high-profile job

1) Legacy's dont get destroyed by a period of unsucess. What you acheive stays with you and cant be taken away. It may tarnish it.

2) Wenger had alot more to do with whatever "almost destroyed" means than Gazidis.

Gazidis is a mercenary businessman.. Hes not football minded. Milan shouldve known this. You dont hire Ivan "1 Pound Over buyout" Gazidis if you want plan to have success.

Don't think it Gazidi's fault at this point though, the players they have just simple are not good enough minus the striker they bought. They have a lot of shite in their squad. Gazidi's only just joined he hasn't bought anyone right

It's his decision to sack the manager who couldn't deliver in 7 games with insufficient roster though? It could still turn out to be a brilliant move, but it also has all the ingredients of an awkward managerial shuffle we've seen Real and ManU pulling off in the recent years.

Yeah he doesnt help at all, like that time they were about to almost not qualify for the World Cup, begged him to come back and then he bailed them by single handedly winning games to make it there?

I dont disagree with the first part of the statement they do need to look forward, The second part is some kind of casual bait comment?

An equivalently stupid statement would be,

"Portugal won the Euro Final without Ronaldo. He holds them back instead of helping them."

Do they have any good up and coming CBs? Their starting duo of Otamendi and Rojo doesn't inspire much confidence on paper and isn't going to get any better in the future either.

We easily beat Northern Ireland 3-1 Netherlands is back babyyyy

In reality we almost lost due to them scoring 0-1 after De Ligt and Blind forgot how to defend. 80% of the game we played dreadful. Frenkie invisible, De Ligt regressed hard, Blind failed half of his passes. Ryan Babel did Ryan Babel things (how crazy is it that he's a starter for us).

But then in the 90+minute this 'beauty' of a goal by Luuk de Jong.

Good for him, he had a stinker this weekend against Barca, shouldve put Sevilla atleast 2-0 up in the first 20 mins. Instead they ended up losing 4-0, wouldve been a completely different game.

what on earth happened in that game? Barcelona is up 4-0, and then gets 2 players sent off in the 87th and 88th minute lol? Like I get heads snapping if you're down 0-4, but up?

u could take his statement as: they rely too much on messi which makes them suck complete ass when he's not playing.

at least that's how i read it.

ROFL that Netherland goal. WTF was the defender even thinking? xD

Didn't watch the GER vs ARG game. It was basically Germanys U21 team, can't read too much into it anyway. Gnabry entered Godmode this season, curious to see what else he can do

Koeman is a terrible coach. Holds on to his base formation and doesn't care one bit about who he's facing. North Ireland parks 2 busses and what does he do, put a starting 11 on the pitch without anyone that can offer some depth. Funny how this happens every match. We play dreadful first half (quite obviously because Koeman is a scared little bitch), then we go behind and he subs van de Beek and "insert any other player with depth in his play" on and wow hey, we can actually score goals!

One would think he would learn from these mistakes and put van de Beek and Malen in his starting formation so we can actually not get behind and score goals in the first half.

Now he'll probably take credit for making great substitutions at minute 60 :|

Young defender substitute (Araujo or something) brought down a player as last defender, got rightfully red-carded. Then Dembele went stupid-mode and insulted the referee because of the decision so he got red carded as well.
