    Everyone wants a “ball playing” keeper like Edison and Alisson to beat a high press. I don’t really rate Raya at Arsenal either for same reason, good passer but always looks like he’s got an error in him.

    Definition of an eccentric goalkeeper, can produce a top quality reaction save one second, then throw a daisy cutter in the next. Every corner he looks vulnerable and a liability. The defence at Inter hid a lot of his flaws, Sommer has been incredible for them.

    Werner became a bit of a running joke at Chelsea for his finishing, and his finishing is still piss poor. But his pressing and constant work rate from the front and as an outlet brings so much to spurs. Clever bit of business.

    Yep, basically it’s pot luck based on what ref/VAR team you get. If ref had given it, they wouldn’t overturn it, but also won’t step in if ref misses. it’s why if we had VAR yesterday none of those decisions would’ve had any different outcome. The only bad thing about promotion would be dealing...

    The CCFC Curse vs Shite Owners - A Personal Ramble

    Might have some details wrong as it’s been years but we got relegated from the Prem at the worst time. Basically missed out on the big, big foreign tv deals that were around the corner, huge influx of cash and massively helpful parachute payments to stop relegated clubs going broke(05ish?). We...

    “Celebrated like it was their cup final”

    Sounds sacrilegious, but I don’t think I’d mind too much if we missed out this year for this very reason. Last season after the final I was convinced that was our one chance to get back in due to Gus/Vik leaving. But The side we have right now is building towards something special, O’Hare...

    Mourinho built tough teams that were incredibly hard to beat (Inter Milan ‘10, Chelsea ‘05 and ‘06 are statistically the best Defence in PL history that’ll probably never be matched, Porto champions league run etc.,) “Parking the bus” is a legit style of play, if it was an easy cheat code...

    Managers inferring that people above him (tv execs, refs, ???) are trying to manufacture a loss for a winning side is the embarrassment, and completely tries to take the win away from us. You’re not even reading peoples replies just getting angry and lashing out because you love Enzo and he’s...

    Not even a proper response mate and you know it. Keep building them strawmen up to attack rather than what people are actually saying.

    You’re arguing against a point no one brought up. No one said anything about him being happy with his teams performance. My original comment you responded to was about his delusion over the conspiracy against his team, annoyed people (clearly inferring shadowy football league people/refs...

    Fair enough, your threshold for what is “hyperbole” is a lot lower than mine. Every game next season in the Prem will be tougher than this one, we’ll see how he does when his squad isn’t a league/level above the competition.

    So where was the hyperbole in the comment you replied to? if Maresca manages games like he did today, they’ll get taken apart in the Prem, regardless of ref decisions. Even their fans were amazed by how poor he handled today.

    How is that hyperbole? Nothing over the top at all. Every decent manager in the league would have Leicester 1st with that squad and money spent.

    The one on KDH? Maybe with the shit game this ref was having but not a chance for me, didn’t even catch him at all and in a nothing area of the pitch. That’s what got Maresca booked right?

    One chance with I think Casadei (?) going just past the post that I remember. We went closer with Saka 5 mins in and were clearly on top the first 25 mins. Got to the point up until the penalty I wasn’t worried about them at all. They never had control and barely threatened us from open play.

    After the dissent he didn’t make any yellow worthy challenges. Winks somehow staying on the pitch however…

    Poundland Pep has lost it, talking conspiracy theories against Leicester, “annoyed people” wanting them to lose their winning streak, weird decisions going against them etc., this guys gonna get absolutely exposed in the Prem. Wanted Palmer sent off too for???

    Don’t care for Man City, but De Bruyne is the classiest attacking midfielder in the world. What a goal.

    I swear some people want to take all the fun out of football these days. We’ve been through the fucking ringer as a club and fanbase over the last few years, what’s the point being a supporter if you can’t celebrate big wins. We’re pushing for promotion and just hammered top of the league.
