At least they've seen their team win the league and a fucking champions league. They're having a bad season sure, but it's fucking Chelsea, they'll get their form back next season, can't really be sure with spurs since I'm pretty sure Kane is leaving and we don't have a quality backup striker, spurs have improved a bit in their latest games but we're probably getting no european football considering Liverpool, Villa and Brighton have been playing really well lately.

I think Kane will stay this summer, simply because no-one will pay what Levy demands for a 30 year old with a year left on his contract. You never know, if Levy finally gets a managerial appointment right, he might even sign a new deal - he wants to win trophies for sure, but he'd definitely prefer to win them with Spurs. Honestly, Chelsea's troubles have been the only thing that's made this season bearable. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Disappointed mainly, with some disbelief at what that baseball guy has done to the club. But when all is said and done, its only football. Life goes on. Sadly, there is now a generation of football 'fans' who have grown up thinking they only have to turn up to win, whereas us old timers fans understand (and accept) that losses are part and parcel of the game; all teams go through troughs; no-one has a divine right to win every game. (and also that football existed before the Sky/Premier League). 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
En Passant 3,741 Posted May 2, 2023 I was never that much of a football fan but honestly it's now so much all about whichever human rights abusing semi-dictatorship buys which club for sportswashing. Harder to care than ever. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

About your last sentence, I’m also annoyed when a article says that someone or some club has beaten an « historical » record of English football, but when you look closer, it’s only in the history of Premier League, so in the last 30 years. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sinbabad 1,124 Posted May 4, 2023 Napoli did it, they are Italy’s champion ! I’m not a Napoli fan, but I think it’s noteworthy, because since their last title in 90, they’re only the 4th team outside the Italian big three (Juventus, AC Milan and Inter) to win the Serie A ! The three others were Sampdoria in 90, Lazio in 2000 and AS Roma in 2001. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I agree with ladyfiona on this one. Unbelievable that a team with 30+ points below them could potentially get promoted over them. Now in extra time NC v BW now 2-2 as I type. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wannamaker 1,407 Posted June 6, 2023 So Postecoglou is the new spurs manager, can't say I'm really familiar with his style of play but having an attacking manager is a nice change. Hope Levy backs him, but at this point I can't really trust in the bald fucker. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, we will now be putting the ENIC OUT banners away and stop chanting 'Levy Out' on the terraces. That is the c**ts 12th appointment, seriously, I am all out of fucks to give now. They may as well put Schofield in charge for all I care. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
