I mean they do seem to be kind of butchering it this season. Everything seems a bit rushed, and shoehorned in just to keep fans happy - case in point, the sex scene was just for fan service, with no point to the plot. The first two episodes were a bit boring, the third one was mostly just pure nonse...

So for all the talk of Klopp sticking by Karius it's come to nothing with them bringing in Allison. I can see why they did it but wow, going to be awhile before he can rebound from this. Honestly think its the best thing for him. A year out on loan to some lower league/smaller foreign club would do...

I personally vaguely want England to do well, but the reason most of my friends give for wanting them to lose is that they just don't bloody shut up when they do well. This world cup for example, has been non-stop coverage of how proud we all are of Southgate and his men. To the detriment of the foo...

I think people are excited because of the draw - even this "worst ever" England team has more than enough quality to get past Sweden, then Russia or Croatia and get to the World Cup Final for the first time since 66, right? That's assuming they don't completely cock it up of course, which ...

What do we make of VAR so far? I think it's been right more than not, but am bamboozled as to the criteria they are using for alerting the referee to certain issues. I hate it so far. It slows down decisions, and doesn't always provide any better judgement for refs. Plus it seems like just another ...

It's also highly hypocritical of a Spurs fan to accuse other clubs of spending big as "buying trophies." Let's have a look at your recent spending history- £22m for Son, £23m for Aurier and £25m for Moura (both who've won trophies in France and internationally), £26m for Lamela, £30m for ...

What do you mean "challenged so successfully?" Their challenge for the title was unsuccessful. That's the whole point of this discussion :lol: Oops I should really check what I'm typing. I meant consistently. They came very close through two consecutive seasons, making it last right until...

To have challenged so successfully having spend so little money, I think Spurs have to be considered a success, especially in an era when City and Chelsea take turns buying trophies. Having said that, you feel like their chance slipped away when they lost it to Leicester, and winning the FA Cup woul...

I'm sure I've said it before - when Wenger leaves Arsenal will just be a mid table club. They don't have the resources to aim higher. I hope whoever comes in is given a few years to build up - hell, I hope they already have someone in mind and who actually wants to come. I'm sure they are hoping the...

Yeah it's never nice winning the league one season then making a terrible attempt at retaining the title the next, but the situation's nowhere near as dire as it was for them in 2015-16 or for Leicester last year. It seems to be Chelsea's motto of "win one year implode the next". Have the...

I feel bad for Arsenal. They were pretty much how I thought a Premier League club should be run - they mostly made their own money and consistently did very well with young home grown players. Yes, these days they can't compete with the money of Man City, United and Chelsea (and I think that's a pro...

Thanks, an interesting read. I had in the back of my mind something about disciplinary problems, but I forgot all about the drug tests. Still, can't help but feel its a bit of a waste for Liverpool.

Liverpool's defense has been shit for years, which makes Jose's tactics the other week all the more baffling - he seems to have slightly derailed Manchester United's season for a bit, purely to play defensive against a team whose defense would collapse under a bit of pressure. What seems absolutely ...

So far this season has been an absolute shambles. Stupidly over-inflated prices on average players, the top teams seemingly buying their way to the title (and it looking like it will finally work - noone looks close to the level of the Manchester teams so far), and now managers being sacked after on...

After the complete mess that was the previous episode, I quite enjoyed the finale. Littlefinger's death was pretty fun to watch, and it looks like Theon might actually do something next season. The thing that annoys me about the whole series still crops up though - the whole "steal a wight"...
