El Sackio Sat 30th Oct (H) 17;30

[Havocc]

Are you even Spurs if you can't clearly picture Cristiano Ronaldo wheeling away in celebration, tearing his shirt off and siiiiiuuuing the Park Lane after his 94th minute winner tomorrow?

let’s hope Dier or Romeo snaps him in half.

 

[BrooklynYid]

I can't watch! Literally, I have my kids game at the same time. Thank god. My prediction is a lot of suck. Would still be pretty happy to win this. McGuire is due for an own goal. COYS!

Stakes are high here. Not only are two managers in danger of losing their jobs; fourth place, the chance to buck a one-game losing streak, and an established first-choice XI are also at stake.

And on top of all that, this could make or break my birthday party! First real opportunity of a sorta post-COVID bash. I even set up a projection screen outdoors so I have an excuse to start crushing cans at noon. But there are gooners about in my neighbourhood (I live on a street named Woolwich, through no fault of my own),who will not miss a chance to taunt me whilst they drink my beer and eat my brisket. Ex-pat Mancs, too.

But a goal each from Sonny and Kane (setting each other up, natch),plus a 30-yard thunderbastard to overcome the inevitable brace from Ronaldo would set off my second half-century just nicely.

Post-Covid? Wouldn't that happen err, sort of post-Covid, not inter-Covid (probably not a word)? I remember that famous line from the '66 World Cup - "they think it's all over....it ain't".

Buti, I hope you have a nice party, not spoiled by a bunch of lazy-arsed, overpaid celebrities who used to be footballers. I'd like to see Ronnie red carded for being a cunt and use to deliver them another helping of Thrashing Pie, like the dippers did.

 

[ClemFandango]

To say I would be very happy if Sky billed the game as "El Sackio" would be somewhat of an understatement ..

What I find quite absurd is that there's apparently a "feeling" that Nuno won't be sacked if we lose because the club are said to accept that we "are at the start of a cycle" or some other shit along those lines. But then I did read another piece that basically said that Nuno's end game is playing out already and if you read his recent comments where he's questioning the commitment of the players he's excluded, I'd certainly put some stock into that.

I'll probably watch it, but I think we're going to get murdered. If it's yet another half-arsed performance where nobody gives a shit and Kane just wanders around admiring the scenery, I think the calls for Nuno's head will be even louder.

We can potentially drop into the bottom half of the table if we lose which certainly won't sit well in Levy's ivory tower.

 

[ClemFandango]

Lloris, Emerson, Dier, Romero, Davies, Skipp, Hojbjerg, Lo Celso, Lucas, Son, Kane.

Subs: Gollini, Sanchez, Tanganga, Rodon, Doherty, Reguilon, Dele, NDombele, Bergwijn

Yes, you read that right. Five defenders on the bench and Davies -v- Ronaldo on the left.

 

[Havocc]

That’s ok, United have 7 defenders on the pitch

 

[Havocc]

Wow, we are super nervous

 

[ClemFandango]

Decent goal from Ronaldo. Nothing I wasn't expecting though.

Aside from Skipp and, possibly, Lo Celso, we've been shit.

 

[Havocc]

Not seen anything today that tells me we are reacting or improving under this coach.

 

[ClemFandango]

Time's up i think. Time to start a new "process" before this one falls any further off the face of the cliff.

 

[Havocc]

Wow, I have never heard that reaction to a sub ever at the lane.

 

[ClemFandango]

Yes, it's getting ugly. If he's lost the fans, as it appears, then it's really only a matter of time before he goes.

 

[Dorset]

Wow, I have never heard that reaction to a sub ever at the lane.

Well it was a fucking stupid substitution so it was fair enough I suppose? Players lost, crowd lost, plot lost - Nuno's days are numbered I reckon.

 

[Chavhater01]

Why do i bother watching this shit?!

No quality whatsoever in the final third, we are a desperately poor football side, aside from a few top quality players, the 'team' is woeful. Our passing and movement continues to be mind numbingly shit! 2nd weekend in a row, where the opposition hasn't had to get out of 2nd gear. It's alright lads it's Tottenham, conserve your energy and rest up for bigger tests ahead, just be organised and we'll win, coz they have no fucking clue how to break down a well organised defence, and we shouldn't have to do too much to get a goal against them.

Watching us attempt to play football, is actually fucking embarrassing! Utterly clueless.

 

[Havocc]

No shot on target yet

 

[Dorset]

Decent goal from Ronaldo. Nothing I wasn't expecting though.

Aside from Skipp and, possibly, Lo Celso, we've been shit.

I would definitely include Skipp and Lo Celso on the shit list. It was a good finish from Ronny, but we should never have allowed that pass to happen.

 

[Havocc]

Ole has out coached Nuno

Says it all really

 

[Havocc]

Crowd have turned on Kane now!!!

Clubs a fucking mess

 

[ClemFandango]

I would definitely include Skipp and Lo Celso on the shit list. It was a good finish from Ronny, but we should never have allowed that pass to happen.

I just thought Skipp was at least showing a bit of effort in the first 45, but considering the level of effort from everyone else, tripping over your own bootlaces would be an improvement.

 

[Chavhater01]

Ole has out coached Nuno

Says it all really

I could fucking out coach our team!

 

[Dorset]

4th time we have conceded 3 and we're only 10 games into the fucking season. Levy might as well let Ledley take over for the rest of the season at least we'd have a bit of passion and fire from the coach. But, that would be a poison chalice for HM the King, so ...

 

[Chavhater01]

I really wonder what the hell this lot do on the training pitch, because i'd say at least 80% of the games i watch, it looks like these players have never met each other, let alone played together.

 

[ClemFandango]

Not one single shot on target for the whole game and we’ve supposedly got a world class striker in the side.

This is our club now. Nuno out.

So i make that a game and a half in the pl without a shot on target.Absolutely shocking!

What was it, 4/5 years ago, we had the best starting XI in the pl. It's seriously impressive how badly Levy and his yes man Hitchen, have fucked this club up. It's ok though, we're the darlings of the NFL, have a wonderful property portfolio and have an award winning Stadium, and a 2019 Audi cup, so happy fucking days!

 

[BrooklynYid]

Problem is we can't afford to fire Nuno. He was the best we could do last time. This time the list of interested parties will be even worse. Are only options will be Parker or Howe. Maybe they're better than Nuno? Results would say no. Fucking Levy. Oh, and just sell Kane already. He does not want to play for us. At all. End this nightmare in January.

 

[ClemFandango]

At the moment, I think Eddie Howe would be a half decent shot. We can't afford to pay the release clause of anyone half decent and Howe has the right attacking mindset for the sort of football we'd want, but his ability to organise defences would be suspect.

Saying that, appointing The King as his assistant manager would probably solve that problem I suppose.

 

[NiceOneCyril]

Happy Birthday Spurious. I drove all the way to Canada to help you celebrate but think I came to the wrong city (Montreal). Sat in a pub watching it with some United wankers who all sound like they came from Surrey or Middlesex. At least the food was tres bon.

And all Levy could give you was some shit on a shovel. Enic out, Nuno out, Kane out, in any order you like.

 

[Style And Glory]

Not much positive you can take from that. State of our club.

Just as Levy brought in Mourinho as a quick fix, any chance he'll do the same with Conte? 'cause this is a mess.

 

[The Cryptkeeper]

I think we have seen enough. Nuno, lovely guy but not up to this job and has to go.

Graham Potter is the guy we could have and should have gone for after Conte waa out of the running.
