Probably exhausted after a long weekend of **** his team mates' wives

Funny enough recently his wife(the one he stole from a teammate) had unsavory pictures with some other guy.

Likely that's why he stayed on for so long, whenever he breaks up with Wanda Nara coach tries to cheer him up by force feeding goals.

Bissouma looks like a nice player, destroys anyone comes near him

Fun first seventy minutes, not so much afterwards. Tottenham probably would have tied it or even worse with a full team.

Galatasaray look like a fun team and getting Osimhen even for this season is a huge coup. Good luck in the rest of the tournament.

Baphomet, have you heard/read some of the quotes from Hugo Lloris in his new autobiography?

Four days before the final, Daniel Levy called us all together to announce that with the support of a sponsor we would each receive a luxury Aviator watch from the club. At first, we're all very excited to see the elegant boxes, then we open them and discovered that it had on the back of each watch engraved with the player's name and Champion's League finalist 2019. Finalist, who does such a thing at the moment like this. I still haven't got over it, and I'm not alone.

And that's why folks call them Spursy.

When I think of Spursy, I think of the last four games. Losing to Palace, then dogging City and Villa off the pitch, then conceding 30 self-inflicted chances to Galatasaray. Being a Spurs fan is often painful and confusing, but rarely dull.

I don't really have much to say about Lloris' comments though, it is what it is.

Amad looked fantastic tonight. The rest of the team pretty lacklustre.

Tottenham gave up the lead twice to tie Roma, Gala had a last minute goal disallowed and tied Alkmaar, United came back to beat Bodo.

Some solid teams fighting for the top 8 spot.

Spurs heroically qualify as they beat European titans Elfsborg 3-0 at home.

Some of those team really blew it on the last day. Props to Manu and Spurs for getting some much needed byes onto the following rounds. They need to rest.

Baph,

Ange is now down to the Europa unless Tottenham can get by Aston Villa this weekend. But from what I saw today in the second leg of the semi-final...

Not a single shot on target, expected goals of 0.16. Eek.

Did he actually believe they could maintain a 1-0 advantage at Anfield?

Feels like an unending nightmare. There's nothing I can say about that Liverpool demolition. Completely expected, sadly.

Keep waiting for the club statement corner flag every day when I wake up, and it never comes.

Galatasaray eliminated predictably after rash of suspensions plus horrible roster construction. Mourinho moves on to play Rangers, Tottenham gets Alkmaar, United gets the toughest matchup with Sociedad.

Spurs are just horrendous, I seriously can't wait to see the back of this manager. Only a few players missing now, no injury excuses at this point.

Going to limp out of every competition and finish in the bottom half, only to get rid of him in the summer anyway. The time to act was back in December. This is on Levy.

He got outcoached by a guy named Maarten Martens, which feels almost on par with when Mourinho got outcoached by a guy in prison. Zero attacking ideas, zero defensive structure, zero impetus on the ball. Totally out of his depth. Worst manager I've seen in my lifetime supporting this club, and how he's survived this long is down to Levy's reluctance to take action and face the heat for this terrible hire.

On the bright side, you did manage one shot on goal...

Ange and his trophy in year two guarantee is on knife's edge after that first leg.

Ange is terrible but I dont think Alkmaar is as bad as it might seem. They play with a lot of energy and excellent at playing without the ball, unfortunately I got to see them three times.

Speaking of Mourinho yesterday he got outcoached by an alcoholic interim coach
