If you take out the Fergie years, they've been shite since the late 1960s.

The issue for them is Fergie squeezed a quart out of a pint pot for a few years. Helped as other clubs re-grouped but then sped past them.

I suspect Ten Hag will be gone fairly soon, he has lost the players but their problems run a lot deeper

Complete shambles today, Spurs aren't great themselves but could have scored several more goals.

No League titles, true ... but seven domestic cups, a European trophy, and a few Charity Shields in that stretch.  I fairly loathe them, but if I'm honest, I'd probably take being that kind of shite.

Bournemouth v Southampton tonight

50p says this will be called 'the south coast derby'

 

Frankly, no one outside the south coast will give a flying fuck about watching this game.

I'm going to watch it. It will make a nice change from watching the usual Premier league clubs that are on all time.

No you won't. They'll be stripping out the wiring and the copper pipes as soon as they're laid.

Southampton trying to do a Sheffield United and get relegated with very low points total. 

3-0 down already in South coast derby. 😁

Blackpool on course for win number 5 under Bruce.

Luton sub on Walsh on 76 minutes, he gets sent off on 77

Toy town just scored at Cambridge, first away win since they won at Bramall Lane about 4 years ago. 🙂

They meant Alan, he's a dribbling mess as well.

[Skamp]

Cannon who we were linked with at one point fires in 4 shots already for Stoke.

Rock on

[HoylandOwl]

Did you see the state of some of the ‘goalkeeping’ in that game? 

[Skamp]

Cracking game in Porto. Got to love a team playing in blue and white stripes.

[EastCraigsOwl]

Well done to Hearts on doing their bit to improve Scottish teams' co-efficient with a 2-1 win over Dinamo Minsk last night.

The match was played behind closed doors in Azerbaijan of all places. Apparently this is UEFA's way of punishing Belarusians for supporting Russia...

The game itself was even more tedious than Wednesday's goalless draw in Bristol 22 hours earlier. However 2 good things to come out of it:

Firstly, and somewhat embarrassingly, it was their first win this season.

Secondly, it's €400K gratefully received 👍

[Hirstys 12th Pint]

Thank you Meslier for my correct score in Super 6.

Be hopes there isn't a recall clause for Beadle after that clanger from the Brighton keeper

[mkowl]

Let's hope we don't seek to loan the Spurs left back 😬

[Reesh]

Been a belting game.

Brighton, plus Brentford.  Teams we laughed at when we beat them in the play offs.

Cassius Clay Cisse….

Son of former Liverpool forward, Djibril Cisse… is on the bench for Notts County tonight.

I mean it's not football but might be a few interested to know that Threads is being shown on BBC 4 tonight. 40 years after it first scared the shit out of my generation. A dystopian winter of despair and suffering, but enough of the days watching us playing Stevenage and Yeovil, this was about the world after a nuclear attack.

Part of it was filmed on what were derelict houses opposite Hillsborough park, where the leisure centre is now situated. 

Be interesting to re-watch that's for sure

[Tylluan]

Mrs shows Threads every year in school as part of RS and ethics. It's to highlight what could happen if no common ground can be found. 

It really opens the eyes of the COD generation and the way video games glamourise war in a way not seen since the beginning of WW1 when war was a 'big adventure' and all home by Christmas after seeing off the Bosche

Still not watched it.  Must see if its on catch up.

Back when it was released I refused to watch it even though my parents said I could.  It used to give me nightmares.

I remember the animated film about a Nuclear War by Raymond Briggs - When the Wind Blows I think and that scared me shitless.

Pickfords having a fucking blinder here.

The 'give Carsley the job permanently' bubble seems to have burst. 

Funny how England look worse with Bellingham playing.

Solanke, Watkins, and Madueke must be wondering why they bothered turning up. No Kane so no forward. Doesn't exactly breed confidence in those 3 does it

[owl71]

I like the idea of England playing without a recognised centre forward.  Not so keen on playing without a midfield.  Surely five wingers/wing forwards/inside forwards/number 10s is one too many?  We need an extra centre mid in there even against this opposition.

He is taking too many touches and is very greedy IMO

[Beaconowl]

And THAT was shocking defending

[Theman]

Carsley failing his audition, 4 2 2 2, more like 1 2 1 2 3 1 or is that 2 1 3 1 2 1 get Watkins on please 👍
