15 goals for the season now, tied with Jamie Vardy..

https://streamable.com/gq94 Lukaku's goal.. Anyone see shades of Drogba there?

https://streamable.com/k2ac Lost his head.. Bizarre from him.

To be fair, from what I've heard he's done a job all season.. Can't verify that because I haven't watched Everton all season, but surely a 21-year old is allowed the odd bad game here and there? Like we allow Zouma to.

Indeed.. Alluded it to it a few days ago, but very similar to when Carlo won the Double. Great achievement but lack of vision and foresight cost him & us.

Haven't tuned in to be honest, Spurs game had my attention.. May switch over depending on next goal

I really do wonder when we're going to come out of this cycle the club has of 'nearly' building a long-term team. We simply haven't managed to do it, ironically enough, since Mourinho built the last one (with the help of Ranieri). Go figure

Good shout, but I want to see how he does under Hasselbaink now.. If QPR stick by him, Austin will learn a great deal.

Lol very debatable. Lampard, Drogba, etc? As for being a better CB, that might be true now but the declines will be telling.. Especially considering that Terry is much older.

I don't think we're selling anyone established in January, because as you said there's no replacements available. I'm anticipating a very quiet market to be honest. Club's going to take a 'do the best with what you're given' approach, I'm sure.

No mention of Max Meyer? Isn't he meant to be the next best product coming out of Germany since Ozil? I would post an XI, but I really haven't watched enough European/Intl football this season to know. So I'll chip in by mentioning the odd player here and there .. But here's an England one; Butland Aina - Stones - Chambers - Shaw Alli-----Loftus Cheek -------------------Barkley------------------- Sterling ---------------------------- Ibe Kane Subs: Dier, Galloway, Ward-Prose, Redmond, Wilson

today's like a throwback. Long story short: Antagonist of TC, you could say 'controversial'. Actually could argue his points well initially but took it slightly too far when it came to disagreeing. That's really all anyone needs to know. Argue well, but don't get personal.

Lool, that's not true at all. It's more to highlight that a lot of blame's been put on his shoulders as if he's the sole reason we're in this situation. While his own contributions may not be sufficient anyway, he's by no means at fault for everything going wrong. But more than anything, it's a bit of satire humour on a place that's seemed to be all doom and gloom lately.

What music scene are you guys into?

Come on Eden, we need you bruh

Yeah I read Boro tried a £10m bid in June that got turned down. I guess Blackburn are pricing him out. You say loyal, but I say lacking ambition to an extent - He's 25 now and he can't really afford to wait much longer before he begins to breakthrough at the top. With his goal record, he should be seeking a PL move asap. No offence to Blackburn, but they're still far off from being considered promotion candidates.

Is this a joke about Remy? Increasingly becoming Sturridge mk II. Remember when Torres & co were suspended/injured and Sturridge would pick up these odd knocks to keep him out too.

Yea, I mean don't get me wrong, if Wilshere could come back by Feb and consistently put in good performances then England will benefit. Alli would be a worthy understudy and learn a lot from him in that sense. But as you said, England have the pool of talent to no longer be reliant on a single-trio of player anymore.. Even Joe Hart who's been so assured is now facing increasing pressure from Butland. It's actually a great time for England to use Euro 2016 to experiment because, let's be honest, there's no expectation this time.

I agree he's a good player, but the notion that he's meant to be ready simply for the Euro's without actually seeing how he comes back seems a bit ridiculous. I don't actually find him consistent, when he is fit as well, he's capable of having worldies but they're too seldom imo. Injuries don't help and I'm not suggesting they haven't made an impact on his ability to stay consistent but he hardly helps himself sometimes. But as you've shown in the rest of your post, England do have players to fill this gap left by Wilshere. We're quite packed in C/DM, so the importance of Wilshere in this setup is a bigger exaggeration imo.

seriously? We need Eto'o!

(Mods hope you don't mind - all fair in love and war, right?)

Really makes me laugh how this country still believes Wilshere has some divine right to play for England whenever he's fit Hasn't put in a good performance, and I'm talking Barca a couple seasons ago, in years.

Whether it's him or not, I just had a good laugh reading some posts TSE slagging off TC - I even see Sloth joined them xD

I just don't get one thing. I've heard his form for Spain this season has been brilliant, even getting a MOTM here and there (Iirc). So what's the difference between him playing for Spain and playing for us?..
