Also, I'm pretty glad that for once, La Liga is not a two-team competition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

.Ash Posted January 10, 2014 Report Share Posted January 10, 2014 The Man City 6-0 workover can't have helped much either. I still think Villas-Boas got a rough deal, Tottenham were always going to have a slow season with that many big-name signings. Their version of 4-5-1 sucked though, all that money spent on Soldado and he barely got a sniff of goal because Spurs insisted on trying to play cute football rather than feed players through. Good luck to Tim Sherwood though, he'll need it - Levy has a terrible track record for showing patience with managers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madsen Posted January 10, 2014 Report Share Posted January 10, 2014 For all the praise they got during and right after the transfer window, I'm pretty sure bringing in that many players obviously didn't work. Some ridiculous money though, Lamela for 30m and he hasn't had any impact. Says he wants to leave. On another note, I love nothing more than Tim Sherwood getting the job. http://metro.co.uk/2013/12/21/what-not-to-say-in-a-job-interview-tim-sherwood-admits-to-being-an-arsenal-fan-despite-wanting-tottenham-job-4239484/ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YjoXNLFB1XA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cocodomoco Posted January 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2014 Its honestly the greatest slap in the face ever. have you like ever been to an Arsenal game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.Ash Posted January 10, 2014 Report Share Posted January 10, 2014 Bringing in that many players like Spurs did doesn't immediately work, sure. But Man City are proof that a good manager and a bit of time are what's needed to make a title-winning squad and Villas-Boas didn't get that time. The manager round-about is turning pretty fast these days and the only club with a firm grip on the handles are Arsenal and I hope they'll pick up the trophy at the end of this season to show for it.

Amen, so many close calls to Arsenal lifting a trophy in such a long time I'd hate us to miss out on another one. Its honestly the greatest slap in the face ever. have you like ever been to an Arsenal game? I've sadly not, living in Bosnia, 14 y/o so I haven't had much opportunity, I plan on it asap though, haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maeriberii Haan Posted January 10, 2014 Report Share Posted January 10, 2014 I hope Arsenal finally win something after those long, titleless years. Also kinda thinking it's funny how Tottenham always managed to screw things up in the second half of their season in the last few years. I hope it won't happen this season.

Hioco Posted January 11, 2014 Report Share Posted January 11, 2014 LOL You're alright for a ManU bitch, Hioco. I get that a lot. I also get "You're a United fan? Glory hunter". Which is like music to my ears, especially when I get into a discussion with these people. I get asked "How many matches have you been too?" and I have to tell them I don't know because I've had a season ticket for almost nine years. It's hilariously great, I'm supporting my local team! In all fairness though, if you tell me that Macheda isn't the next Cantona then you don't know football. Pssht. ;D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cocodomoco Posted January 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2014 I hate anyone who has been to a premier league game. I cant wait till i go to the UK next year.

ihop Posted January 11, 2014 Report Share Posted January 11, 2014 too many gooners Nah, fairly decent win today even though we only started playing at half time. Kinda sad to see Defoe go but possibly it might provide the cash so we can buy a decent left-back :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ihop Posted January 11, 2014 Report Share Posted January 11, 2014 Well, I suppose it's good for MLS which is something. Some of my family lives in Seattle so they were ecstatic when Dempsey joined them. Reported fee is £6m too which is a decent amount of money.

.Ash Posted January 11, 2014 Report Share Posted January 11, 2014 2 Spurs fans, 2 gunners. Even no? I guess as that makes me and a Man Utd fan - (crazy I know) the neutral parties here lol. Hull City turned over by Chelsea at home, very unhappy but damn if Hazard isn't a hell of a player. EDIT: As a Hull City fan I can't really express my disbelief that Spurs are selling Defoe for £6 million while we chase after the likes of Jelavic and Long. Give me Defoe any day.
