Football

Rumours that we're after Vincent Janssen for £15m. Not sure how I feel about that, sounds like our type of player on paper but he's been a bit shit when I've seen him play.

Sachin Nakrani should read different media then.

Please expand on this...

Puts football into perspective, at least I'd like to think so... Fuck the transfer window...

He's overstating the "case". Evidently, he'd rather the media went back to describing black players as all "silky skills" to the exclusion of everything else.

I think he'd like the media to see a player and describe what they do and how they play, rather than hitting the stereotypical physical attributes descriptor..

Who wouldn't?
I'd like to see JonJo Shelvey described as "agricultural" instead of "committed".

I'd like to see anyone under 1.75 m who tackles hard not described as "spiky" or "terrier".

The point Nakrani should've made to bolster his argument is that the narrative regarding black players could explain why there are so few black managers.

good point, also not could, but does, see NFL Quarterbacks/Head Coaches, Black

John Obi Mikel to Boro...

I see Andy Carroll has put his house on the market.

Apparently looking for somewhere between Wembley and Enfield for the be commute :tapsnose:

Was in the pub at lunchtime, and they were showing highlights of Charlton vs Ipswich, Terry Butcher and John Wark era...

Thank fuck for moneyball.

Ticket for dortmund brought!
Hoping Llorente gets his confidence back with some goals tonight against Chelsea.
Do away goals still count double in the League Cup? Think we'll need one or two and I'm not sure whose going t get them. Might need a piece of magic from Eriksen to get us through..
Never thought I'd be hoping Sissoko was fit for this one..

Need Chelsea to win tonight as I'll be up in Burnley at the end of Feb when they should be playing Spurs and it'll be a bit of a pisser if it's postponed.

League Cup Semis: FT -> away goals -> penalties. No extra time.

One of the most gutting nights watching Burnley was caused by that away goal rule.

4-1 down at Spurs in the first leg. 3-0 up at full time in the second leg but away goals didn't count until after extra time and Spurs scored in the 119th minute. They changed the rules on it a year later too.

It’s like Chelsea, 30 minutes in, just realised Spurs have no fire-power whatsoever. They can smell blood.

Anyone got a stream? I'm up early...

Not enjoying it. Looking bleak currently.
Chelsea hungrier and we’re playing slowly and awkwardly out from the back. Finding it difficult to break the press.
Llorente bless him is trying but he’s got no service.. Eriksen is getting much help in trying to progress the ball either..
