I just wonder how impressive we'd be with normal matchday crowds in there. The old guard of bottlers still proliferate in the team, though CA is doing his best to replace the mess created for him.
I think that probably our midfield were our biggest bottlers (bar Pickford) and it’s possibly about building a head of steam up. If we’re going into the derby with 4 wins from 4 I think we can start to get more excited, but the derby will be a real pressure test
 
if they have all been tested before the game and are negative do they even need to wear a mask?

I’ll be honest we have benefitted massively from empty stadiums- let’s face it we are still Everchoke FC. I don’t think that changed overnight. But IDGAF birch. We winning the league
 
If only Spurs were a so called big club with a squad to utilise

Hes a boring old man now is Jose

He has a point though you don't take your best 18 or so away into Europe on Thursday and play a few of them the very evening in England after they've flown out into Europe. He's necessarily down to numbers 18 to 29 of his staff.

Daniel Levy had always run Spurs with a keen eye to running at a profit, they're not the best paid, far from it considering their status, and Mourinho hasn't been given the luxury of a big squad, tbf he's not the owner and is paid to manage, I'm not sure anyone would dissuade Levy to change his model of the club he's run relatively successfully over his tenure. No they're not a Chelsea, Liverpool, Man City, Man United or even Arsenal but then Daniel Levy isn't running those clubs.

He's just built a stadium they're still paying for and like their near neighbours Arsenal, they may have to face straightened times for some time financially. (relatively speaking)

A manager has to manage the club he has not another club.

Champions league for winning the EUFA, a third rate joke for winning the league cup, his mind had to be made up unless he's absolutely stupid.

Jamie Carragher quite funny on Fupham and their owner Tony Khan, called him a 'clown' and after he tweeted his frustrations on failing to land a centre back in the transfer window and promised they would, good signal to other clubs to up the price - they're desperate

On Fulham's shambolic display..

'It was a really poor performance. It was that bad, we were actually laughing at some of the defending. Fulham are going down - I've never been more certain about anything in my life.

'I'm more certain of Fulham going down than Liverpool winning the league. What we saw there was actually unbelievable.'

May not be Scott Parker's fault at all but his less than enthusiastic endorsement of the owner's tweets might not have been the best policy in his current plight, unless he actually wants out.

This could be Sam's next job they're that desperate, it'll be a bigger achievement than Sunderland imo if anyone keeps these up.
 
Anyone who thinks this muck being served up is in any way shape or form worth getting agitated or elated about need to put the lid back on the evostick tin.

It is a farce. An utter sham completely devoid of any meaning or worth.

Empty stadiums and canned crowd noises. Photos of fans heads in plastic bucket seats. Players on the bench wearing masks when theylve just been necking their own team mates after a goal.

It's an appalling simulacrum and a sick joke.

It's a farce. You're playing elite level sport and some teams are literally only having one week of pre-season. You've got players ruled out for testing positive for a virus that doesn't make them ill.

As you say, you have players sat on the bench wearing masks and sat apart to look all compliant and PC, but then having an orgy when a goal goes in. Honestly, who do they think they're kidding?

The rules state that I can't be in the same house as all my family, but it's ok for Gareth Southgate to travel from London to watch a match at the Etihad Stadium that's being televised anyway. Family life destroyed for millions but the great god of the Premier League must go on. One rule for us, no rules for them.

All of it sustained by Tyler, Neville and Carragher making out how we should all be grateful that Sky and the Premier League have put in a big effort to bring us football (nowt to do with the money, of course).
 
When you get no hopers like Norwich winning the championship as they did two years ago, you have to despair - Fulham and their own brand of football is fine for the championship but absolutely doomed from the off in the prem. Nice, neat and tidy going forward where they both carry a threat tbf, but just hopeless at the back, too soft, you always know they'll lose more often than not.

At least Sheff United and Villa showed some fight, the only thing Norwich fought for was for a return to the championship and as quickly as possible
