Today's Football 2017-18 Season

[Connor]

You could be earning £400k pa as a summariser on MOTD with that kind of sophisticated Shearer like analysis. Wasted here fella.

Cheers Al. It's a tough business to break into but I'm trying my best atm.

 

[Hickson9]

Any idea how many away fans Chelsea have been allowed to take? With such a large capacity you'd expect they would allow a fair few.

I'd say it was about 3000 mate.

I'm right behind you. GO CONNOR!

 

[Connor]

I'm right behind you. GO CONNOR!

Hold my hand Al, we're going to the promised land.*




*As long as you've got your NCTJ qualifications.

 

[Hickson9]

Looked to be a great finish from Alonso for the winner but it was from quite a narrow angle. Spurs just lost their heads a bit, didn't clear their lines. A draw would have been decent for them.

 

[Alan Whittle]

Hold my hand Al

I stopped reading there.

 

[Rook]

what, like winning games?

9-10 back for most of the match. Yes its effective, but its Pulis-ball with money

 

[Rook]

Both of them were the difference maker in at least two different title winning sides as well

Kante for Leicester and a Chelsea, Makalele for Real and Chelsea

They're the sort of player you need in a successful squad. Both are prepared to do the unnattractive yet necessary stuff that's needed when you're challenging for a title

It's why Arsenal haven't won a title since Viera left

I think its more that Wenger sells all his best players to others in the top 4.

Meh, we play great football in 95% of our matches, i'll take a defensive performance and 3 points against Spurs at home

 

[toffeejack]

Oh yes.

but this season is the exception, brighton will easily finish top half i think, got a great squad.

when you have to open it up its fine, there is plenty of attacking talent there to do some great stuff but holy hell when its 1-0 I hate watching it.

that being said we admittedly are set up the same way.

Places head in hands and weeps silently.

 

[TippEverton]

Bit of a shock when the commentator mentioned betis having 50k season ticket holders, impressive.

It's game management really, Spurs grew as the game went on, but honestly, i always thought that we were in control of the match, Spurs were limited to shots from outside the box, and we missed 2-3 clear cut chances our selves too, so i am very satisfied with our performance considering we were missing 3-4 starters

Luckily he hasn't got a clue what he's on about and they'll be lucky to finish 17th
