    Spurs squad is very average. Thought they'd push the boat out in the summer and sign some top quality but they went down the young project route.

    They'll struggle against the top sides this year.

    Spurs been the best team in the last 3 games with plenty of possession but they can't score goals and I'm afraid the board hasn't backed ang in the transfer market and some of the spurs podcasts are shouting for his sacking already and most toxic fans in the league.

    To take Werner once is bad, but to take him twice is criminal, big Ange will be out soon if form doesn't flip.

    Guy Solanke priced at £65m just shows you the mess down there.

    Didn't really understand re-signing Werner. It was a cheap option after paying for Solanke. I'm sure they could have signed 2 better strikers for 65p.

    Ange looked a completely different guy in the post match interview.

    That prat Pep is inciting players to strike.
    Never said it in so many words but that’s what I take from his comments.

    Hes a *. Can afford the best and biggest sqaud where they can put out 2 teams of equal qaulity to half the players game if need be. It's a squad game, use it.

    Best academy in Europe but doesn’t use them. I understand some of the scheduling gripes but that’s the price to be the best. If you get far in every comp you’re gonna play that many.

    if he doesn’t want to win he can just stick to the league and throw the rest of any other competitions games

    Should make a rule where every team must start atleast 1 under 21 academy player a game. Only way to force development now they cant abuse the loan system.

    I’d go as far as making it 2. I’m sure the argument before for clubs in England has been that it would make them weaker in Europe doing that. Which is a ridiculous notion. Just shows now academy’s are just a way of balancing the books for clubs or passing FFP

    Hope Man City are hammered by FA/PL.
    10pts deduction for each of the 115 charges plus £10mn penalty for each of the charges so deduct 1150 pts and fine £1.15bn.
    Their oil rich owners can afford the fine but won’t like relegation down at least 9 divisions

    Titles stripped aswel. They've cheated for them with a team they cannot afford. I'd go as far as relegation and unable to be promoted for as many seasons as they cheated. See if the oil * stick around then.

    I think that in England every club should have a minimum ownership of 50% English owner/directors and funding of same amount.
    Also tv money in uk should be divided by stadium capacity so that clubs with bigger capacity get more of the money not the leagues.

    English fa could hammer PL if they had the balls to do it.
    If PL don’t do what FA ask then cancel registration of every English born player in PL and also cancel every club in PL from playing in Europe.
