Eesh, what's happening to West Ham? Everton got the much needed win today thankfully.

In bundesliga news, Lewandowski has scored in every league and champions league game this season. Yet they're not too of the league!

demonrail666 · 11.09.2019, 08:33 PM

West Ham look to be in free fall again.

No idea what the answer is but fans can't blame the board anymore, or troublemakers in the dressing room. This is Pellegrini's mess and he needs to fix it, quick.

!@#$%! · 11.09.2019, 09:32 PM

wow i lost track of bundesliga lately

caught sight of arsenal’s defeat this morning though (it’s mornings here)

and now looking forward to liverpool man city...

YIKES!

-

what’s wrong with jamón west? besides losing i mean. why is it happening?

Seems like they've lost all intensity since the 1st international break. They were doing ok before that. Now that we're going into the next one Pellegrini will hopefully sort it out. I still believe they have the individual players capable of getting them to an upper mid-table finish so I'm not panicking yet, but things definitely need to improve when they come back or Pellegrini could see himself under real pressure. First game back is against Spurs. Stupid to insist on a win there (despite them having their own problems right now) but an improved performance is an absolute must.

Having Roberto replace the injured Fabianski can't be helping?

You could replace Pellegrini for Silva and it's the same situation at Everton. Oh woe.

In other news, local team Preston North End seem to be setting themselves up for their first ever promotion to the Premier League. Still a way to go but they're playing great right now.

Yeah, Everton do seem to be improving slightly but neither team are the sum of their parts right now and with weird/frustrating decisions from both managers.

!@#$%! · 11.10.2019, 12:19 PM

what a nice game so far.

nice, yes—but the goals! fucking glorious

demonrail666 · 11.10.2019, 12:49 PM

Liverpool well deserve their lead but can't understand why Man C never got that penalty.

h8kurdt · 11.10.2019, 01:17 PM

*mutters under breath*

!@#$%! · 11.10.2019, 01:31 PM

only disappointed that it wasn’t a 4-0

choc e-Claire · 11.19.2019, 06:09 PM

Interesting results afoot in the Asian football sphere, with Turkmenistan currently on top of their World Cup qualifying group. It's not slouch opposition either, they've played both of the Koreas and Lebanon.

Unfortunately I don't think they'll be able to hold on - they've played Sri Lanka twice, which is basically two guaranteed wins; and their other win was in Ashgabat over North Korea, who don't travel very well. If they can get a win at home against Lebanon, then we'll be talking.

(Australia's doing pretty well too [four wins from four games, including our first ever away win in Jordan], but it's not fun to talk about my own country when I can be chatting about the mighty Karakum Warriors.)

demonrail666 · 11.19.2019, 06:12 PM

Poch sacked from Spurs!

Surprised even though it was sort of looming

and the name apparently in the frame to replace him ...?

choc e-Claire · 11.19.2019, 06:15 PM

Saw it on Twitter, apparently Klopp is now the longest-serving top-six manager. Not sure what that means for football, but...

wat da fuck completely different style of play and person he’s bound to break that team

well i’m not a spurs fan but i could appreciate what poch had done with limited resources so good luck to them with the sith lord hahahahaaa

Whether Jose is the right man to replace him is another matter. Either way the club's now announced his appointment so it's a done deal

h8kurdt · 11.20.2019, 04:00 AM

He can't be underestimated as a manager. Remember when we laughed when he said that his greatest achievement was finishing in 2nd place in the league and winning the Europa league? Now we look at it and say "fucking hell...he was right. That was an impressive achievement".

Three year contract and I'm certain he'll win them a trophy by the end of that.

demonrail666 · 11.20.2019, 04:26 PM

I just think Levy and Jose represent the mother of all owner-manager mismatches; Jose with his notoriously huge budget demands; Levy with his notoriously tight purse strings. I think there's still a place for Jose in football, I just don't think it's at Spurs. He's always been linked with a move to PSG and he's apparently had his eye on Bayern for a while. Either of those make perfect sense. But Spurs just aren't that kind of club - or more specifically Levy just isn't that kind of owner.
