My goodness Spurs are shit. This one match is a microcosm of Liverpool's season last year. Soft penalty, TERRIBLE opposition defending, and teams just bending over and letting them fuck them.

This is either typical Wenger choking in the transfer window or Arse trying to deny any deals in order to shock and surprise their fans by making them think no one is coming and then announcing it at the last minute.

How bad would it look of Arse beat us to a signing? I think if it did happen it would piss José, the board, and even Roman off so much that they'd go out and buy some big name player.

He'd be nailed on first choice there and would start immediately. I really, REALLY hope we have alternatives just in case he chooses them.

As delighted as I am with the result and the fact that we have a clinical side to our game that we didn't have last season, our defense is a major, MAJOR concern. It seems like we've regressed considerably from last season.

That's what happens when you're content with your lead and allow the opponent to attack you. Hazard almost completely invisible. I don't understand how it's not an instruction from the manager to give him the ball as often as possible. The few times he actually did get on the ball it was at walking pace. We're going to concede again if we just sit back and let them stroke it around like we did there.

Apparently José didn't sound so convincing in his interview just now about Costa's fitness. Hopefully not another CL final situation with him.

This is going to be a tough fucking match.

LOOOOOL! Stonewall pen there. Foy actually did something great!

What the hell has happened to RvP? He looks a shadow of the player that singlehandedly won them the league. Mata has been really poor for them too.

Couldn't even iron his shirt?

Imagine morale and moods are high with Di Maria there now, so I would be be surprised if this is an annihilation. I'd laugh myself into cramps if United drop points or lose this one.

Just makes no sense for them to even be thinking about him. Your expensive signing last year Jovetic is finally setting in and scoring goals. Dzeko has been outstanding over the past year or so and was unhappy being a sub as it was. And then they have the best striker in the league in Aguero. Even if they got rid of Negredo that's more than enough.

Just what they need, eh? Fucking ridiculous.

Over £200m spent since Ferguson left and they've made only one signing that I'd truly be worried about in Di Maria. Word is Blind will be their DM. Far cry from Vidal, that. Give us £200m to spend and we'd be world beaters. Their squad still looks pretty average with the exception of their attack.

Why do I keep seeing people mentioning Jackson Martinez? He's bang fucking average. Glad we never went for him when he was rated at £40m or whatever it was a year or two ago when a bunch of PL clubs were after him. There's a reason no top team payed up for him. He's not that good.

Very satisfied with Remy. Low price, huge upside. Won't be dreading it if Costa goes down.

Ah, ok.

Won't he, though? Has his contract been terminated? If not then he returns back in two years, right?

Loan?

I'd be very surprised if he makes it tomorrow. Not sure I'd even risk him.

Of course, no one will say that United "ruined" players when they totally fail there like they do when a player doesn't work out here. Kagawa was fucking brilliant at Dortmund and then United totally misused and wasted him for 2 years. They got those valuable Asian fans and sponsors on board, though! Same with Zaha. Never saw the big deal about him myself, but all that hype about him eventually becoming the next Ronaldo for them and now he's gone.

I'd rather him than Destro, tbh. Know what you get with him and cheap. It'd be like a Demba Ba-esque move but we'd be getting a more technically gifted and versatile striker.

Benzema must be thrilled. Just signed a long new contract and will be sat on the bench now.
