Arsenal and Man U fans probably think they're on the way to winning the title ;-)

Spurs took one for the collective team. :wink:


We did it. Now we can bring Conte in and usurp Man United now that they're stuck with Ole.

Levy playing the long game.

I'm glad to see a ref standing up for himself. We need to get footballers to show respect to the refs even if they're not very good. They are the law.
I remember when the Dolphins were perennial contenders

I dont get why James is so pissed about this foul, though.

He wanted to move into Sunday league football and that is a prime example of a Sunday league tackle haha.

Wonder where he is.
Shame so many valuable posters have disappeared in recent years/months. But I get it…life moves on sometimes.

What happened to Gbamin?
Heard he made his comeback but got subbed out at half-time. Injured again?
Shame he has been dealing with injuries ever since the transfer.
That Everton move certainly burried his career.

To hazard a guess, I would say that they probably rushed him back too fast when he wasn't 100% ready to play, probably because they have mounting midfield problems with Gomes and Doucoure out. He did look a bit sluggish and off the pace and that's probably why he was taken off.

For whatever reason, players just don't seem to kick on after moving to Everton. They're a club struggling for structure and stability, and a lot of players moved on, most notably Sigurdsson, who recently transferred from Everton to prison.

Don't think he's in prison yet but he's being charged with sexually harrassing a minor. He's living in a safehouse.

Nice to see this. I posted at the end of last season that while Ryan Mason was out of his depth as the manager of the team, he still deserved to be retained in a coaching role and it seems that Conte's seen enough of him to promote him and keep him around. Interestingly, he was managing in the Chelsea vs. Hull game where Mason had the collision with Gary Cahill that forced him to retire prematurely.

It was a boring match for people to watch. Why didn't ManCity play to score a few goals? They passed the ball around without looking to attack for over 60 minutes. Hated watching it.
I remember when the Dolphins were perennial contenders

They were toying with United.
In a way more embaressing than the 0-5 against Liverpool
