Does anyone else think 343 is our best formation?

Weve got 2 of the best wing backs in the league
Our 3 centre backs are top notch
We have decent wingers
And a workhorse centre forward
If we want to play narrow we have 2 excellent no 10s

Variation 1 - Wide

.....Tel.......Solanke.......Johnson

Udogie...Bentancur...Biss....Porro

......VDV.......Danso.....Romero

................Vicario

Variation 2 Narrow

.......................Solanke

..........Madders..............Kulu

Udogie...Bentancur...Biss........Poro

......VDV.........Danso........Romero

....................Vicario

A front 3 of Johnson Solanke and Tel even if on paper that is almost £150M is average at best. I’d play the narrow version but berg instead of kulu or go get eze.

So if you're a vegetarian, no red wine in the poached eggs. Got it. Thanks chef.

No im not a vegetarian but wouldn’t criticise anyone who was

Poached eggs done properly and eaten at the correct time of day shouldn’t need red wine!

Actually I’ve just had a small ribeye with a large glass of red wine but the wine was slightly spicy which wasn’t necessary!

Aldi has lot to answer for!

My worry about Frank is we whinge about his perceived shortcommings when in actual facts the squad isnt good enough due to a lack of investment as always.

Pre Mourinho, dont care if we play shit all season as long as we win.....post mourinho, the football was insuferable
Conte as above. Post conte, for the love of god give me attacking football, I want my Spurs back
Ange...I've got my spurs back. Post Ange, hes too gung ho and inflexible.
Pre Frank...I want a flexible manager...Post Frank...he tinkers too much and doesnt know his best team. Give me a system maneger that never changes.

Perhaps Im too negative. But its kind of how I see it panning out. We slate the manager but the main reason we underperform is our players arnt very good. Weve had every type of manager there is, including some legendary ones. They have all struggled.

Can’t say it’s been under invested. We have spent loads in last two years. Simply not true about spending but we have spent unwisely.

The first half of that match was "Spursy before Spursy" was even a thing!

Cloughie's last real chance at a trophy...
Gazza off injured...
0-1 down to a Pearce thunderbolt FK...
Lineker misses penalty....

...Then the 2nd half & extra time was everything we forgot to do for the next 2 decades: bullish, never say die... Brave, creative and a massive slice of kick with a Des Walker o.g to win it!

It had EVERYTHING!
Certainly not a comfortable win, but not exactly cagey...

I thoroughly enjoyed it as my Line Manager was a huge Forest fan but tbf he did say that the better team won!

I was looking a while back at our PL defeats and couldn't think of even one match where we were unlucky to lose. Closest we got was the 1-2 v Barcodes at the Lane. That goal with the handball was annoying, as they often get pinged in the lead up. But the ref bods watching said it wasn't wrong to let play go on. And FFS we'd only just gone ahead, we just couldnt hold onto a lead.

As against that:

AFCB home 2-2; they battered us
FFC 1-1; they were easily the better team;
AFCB away: 0-1 couldve been 5
CP away: 0-1 didnt lay a glove on a team that hadnt won a game to that point
MC home: 0-1 couldve been 3 down after 10 mins
LFC 3-6: I honestly think they coulve got 10 if they'd needed for the Goal Difference
Villa 1-2 FA cup: they shouldve scored 4 or 5 and our goal was a consolation in the last mins

Even Ipswich away a 4-1 win: we coughed up 3 horrible chances in the first few mins while 0-0

The domestic season was shit and we deserved nothing better

Most of those before the supposed throwing of the league.

This was Yellow Tail Shiraz!

I still enjoyed it but could have done without the spice!

Yes, Aldi do shit like that. I bought some mince pies a few Christmases ago - they were fucking gross. Caramel flavour ffs. Didn't realise till I bit into one. Spat it all over the dog.

Quelle surprise 😦


Their parking meter thing wouldn’t accept my car registration either today so I had to have words with their manager who kept shrugging his shoulders!

Mrs B led me away!
 
Waiting for a bloody coach is exhausting, isn't it? Probably still at that bus stop in Hounslow.

Our Aldi car park has no tech, thank god, but it does have a checkout assistant I avoid, ever since she tried to overcharge me.
