Right.
But Doku and Nuamah both gone, it’s looking worryingly like some duffer like Brennan Johnson
Was it? But are you not policing it by saying it was?
Anyone can play that game.
Neither do you.
No idea.
A very bold statement coming from the biggest flip flopping prick on the forum!
If there’s anyone symptomatic of being a troll here it’s you you absolute helmet.

Messi 50
Messi 46
Ronaldo 31
Ronaldo 48
Suarez 40
Messi 37

Benzema 27
Lewendowki 23
The record number of goals in the PL is 36. Last season. Scored by goal machine Haaland.
Matched or beaten 7 times in Spain in 15 years.
The next beat PL return, iirc, is 33?
Also beaten twice.
Spain is a goalscorers paradise. It's harder to score in other leagues. And my partial theory on that is they go head to head before GD. Teams in the bottom half don't care if they get beat 1-0 or 5-0 vs the top 4 teams as it simply doesn't matter.
Ronaldo and Messi in Italy and France dropped off from their mental scoring feats.
You have older players like Benzema and Lewendowki scoring fairly easily.
Players like Forlan fail in England and run riot in Spain.
And all this is just looking at the single top scorer in the seasons. I bet there's quite a few not far behind them each season.
Apparently, Orban qualifies as U21 still so doesn't need to be registered for a squad place.
If true, there really is no reason we need to shift players to sign him, if we like him.
The apologists will be out in force trying to swing the argument towards it being the coaches fault.
its said that thats the football culture in spain. the teams want to play football, alteltico madrid were the only team to try get compact and counter....and it worked for a couple years to be fair. the rest want to play the beautiful game and fight fire with fire.
Jesus Christ. I didn’t say that the last 15 years have been miserable for every second of being a Spurs fan.
OF COURSE there have been high points. Some of the campaigns under Redknapp and Pochettino have brought about some of my finest memories as a Spurs fan. But there’s always going to be a sense of what if about those last 15 years, and in general the bad days have overshadowed the good. Just my honest opinion. I’m not trolling or trying to be controversial.
My initial point is that we should refrain from ripping the piss out of Chelsea until a bit later into the season than 2 games with nothing to back it up.
It just makes us look a bit tin pot. Concentrate on ourselves for now, not the Chavs.
Whilst everyone deplores domestic abuse, it's a legal matter, not a football matter. The league shouldn't ban a player. A club could and perhaps should sack them, but then they may lose a valuable asset to a rival for nothing.
Betting on games however absolutely is a league matter as there's huge scope for players affecting the outcome of a game. Maybe even more so than all the bent referees in charge of matches every week.
If a player has the ability to both affect a game and win himself/his friends money or is being made to affecting the game because of gambling he must be banned
Real Madrid and Barcelona in those days were also monstrous teams, better than City today.Messi and Ronaldo are freaks of nature and shouldn’t count
And I think they can do that because of the H2H rule. You can't imagine teams of the PL era trying to go toe to toe with the likes of Moyes, Allardyce, Hodgson, Dyche etc at the helm. They'll all hold hands around the 6 yard box desperately hoping for a clean sheet.
But we've seen they score less elsewhere.Messi and Ronaldo are freaks of nature and shouldn’t count
How do you know Kane wouldn't comfortably score 40+ goals a season in Spain?
Haaland may even break Messi's 50 tbh.
Take a look at Ronaldo 2 seasons either side of his time at Real Madrid.
At Real he averaged 1.06 goals league per game.
At Man United 2 seasons before 0.72 gpg
At Juve 2 seasons after 0.8 gpg
Messi in France was pretty average in terms of league goals and France is apparently very weak.
