  1. Oh sweetie, I understand the frustration when people go OTT and have a constant agenda... but you must let me vent on this one if you’d be so kind. For a brief period I played in goal for my girls’ football team (I was sh*te so moved to defence) and even I appreciated that I was allowed to use my hands and had stand in a good position so I had a good chance of getting the ball should it come my way. I did not see one ounce of improvement in any aspects of his game against Brighton. Yes I’m throwing toys, knee jerking all over the place and spouting my superior knowledge(!) about Kepa but Christ on a bike, I’m jus SO frustrated that I’ve lost all rationale. His effort to get down and his positioning for that goal against for Brighton? Never seen such weak goalkeeping at Chelaea, truly.
  2. sh*t, our GD is gonna be appalling after the Liverpool game.
  3. They saw the game against Brighton.
  4. Honestly can’t wait for this guy. Doesn’t matter how rusty or average he is, Kepa will easily concede 4 against Liverpool. Even if this fella is a stop gap (which some people are suggesting it is?) we need him in. Kepa will cost us more points than he saves this season. Cech always helped us get 10/15 more points each year and he was knocked out and nearly bloody died on the pitch.
  5. We do need a goalkeeper for sure, 100% but we can always promote one of the under 9’s or get Telford over from CFCW. Despite that weakness, it’s got to be 10/10, when you look at that the players we’ve signed/been linked to in the past it’s been insane. We’ve crushed it.
  6. King Carlo is my favourite, the football we played under him was unreal, still the best I’ve seen in my 23 odd years watching us. Of course a very good chance he’ll be bumped down to second shortly.
  7. Everton looked good, the King is back.
  8. This might be a bit too... attacky. But after last season I wouldn’t drop Mount, I’m honestly not sure on what basis people would. Also I still don’t like our defence, so really only sure with the midfield & attack at this moment.
  9. Good, sign him, start him.
  10. What I like about the pictures I’ve seen of Mendy is that he uses his arms when trying to catch/save. Simple things but stuff you need to do if you want to at least try to prevent a goal.
  11. Well I hope that doesn’t catch on.
  12. I spat my drink out at that gif, never before has a gif been so apt in a situation!
  13. Yikes, actually looks like it could be announced today.
  14. Never liked Triple H, I was always a Chris Benoit fan. That worked out well.... 😶
  15. God that was awful 🤦‍♀️
  16. Maybe, I haven’t a bloody clue anyway 🙃
  17. Whilst I think he is a good manager I think he flatters to deceive. With all due respect to Leicester, who did deserve their title win, Tottenham really should have won it that year. When Chelsea, Man City, Man Utd & Liverpool are completely out the race; for Tottenham not to win taking into account their spending, squad, experience etc compared to Leicester is a bit... bottley.
  18. IF everything I’ve been reading is true - medical completed, fees agreed, contact signed etc then I can only imagine an announcement is being held up because they want it to be a great big fat OTT reveal. In that case it’ll have to be done after international duty as a hotel room isn’t glamorous, they probably want shots of him at SB too. Maybe as part of the deal BL wanted us to hold off any announcement until they seek a replacement; but this transfer, if it does happen, hasn’t exactly been done discreetly. Everyone knows they’ll have £90m or whatever it is to play with.
  19. No helicopter, no signing.
  20. I know it didn’t last as long but I remember this transfer saga so well. A picture of him holding our shirt was released online before the official announcement and I was convinced it was photoshopped. It wouldn’t have been so bad if I stopped there but I really did exam every part of that picture detailing why it was 100% photoshopped. Ahh good times.
  21. I think PL attackers are faster and from more varying positions. Muller & Lewandowski are usually their two main threats IMO and neither are known to be pacy attackers (obviously many many MANY more attributes). I don’t think he’d be able to catch a full flow Vardy, Salah, Martial etc but he’ll be able to nip in before it got to that stage. Just my opinion. I think he’s an absolutely quality signing.
  22. Judging from how he played in the CL final I’m confident he can play a significant role this season. I know Bayern’s attackers are not known for their pace but I think, like JT, his lack of speed is made up for by his ability to read the game and be one step ahead. Erugh, so excited!
  23. Oooommmmmggggg!!!
  24. I hope this is announced today, I am hyped!
