Maybe but we could be back in for him ourselves.

I have a feeling that we have a midfielder lined up for January. Whether it’s Zubi or not I have no idea.

Considering intention when a foul is committed was removed in the late 90s and yet commentators and pundits still frequented blast out this nonsense.

Never understood why intention gets constantly mentioned either.

I'd wager a good 95% of all fouls or red cards are unintentional.

Exactly.

Tbh after the Coote fiasco I expect absolutely nothing from referees for the rest of the season.

No issue with the Robertson sending off but the other decisions were laughable.

crazy how robertson got sent off but wasnt out worst fullback

I thought the Robbo sending off was ridiculous. Yellow at worst.

Nah that was red mate

FWIW Spurs is a must win game to stop a 3 match run of dropping points, having Chelsea erode our lead in just 3 games is tough for confidence, beating Spurs will help restore it. I appreciate we have a game in hand but that won’t be played for weeks and it’s away at the bitters so not exactly 3 points in the bag.


Wonder if we will see the Spurs that beat City, or Dr Tottenham.

Spurs team without VDV and Romero plus keeper we should be winning with ease. There DM Bentacar is also suspended.

I get what you’re saying but I just don’t think it’s as crucial as you think. I think there will be loads of twists and turns this season, possibly the most open title race for years. It’s easy to see the lead we had and think we should be maintaining it, but we’ve got to remember that it’s still Slot’s first season and we’ve had a few injuries to crucial players, mainly Konate.

I prefer to look at any lead built up as a buffer rather than something to keep. Hope the teams below us will have their own issues and we stay ahead of them.

Knowing our luck it'll be the one game Ange finally changes tactics

Two games in a row we've dropped points and neither Arsenal or City have taken advantage.

Did not see that coming.

Just wait for Chelsea before you celebrate.

By the way, unreal goal from Diallo but City are absolute crap now and United not much better.

And Neville is by a mile the worst pundit.

Chelsea are obviously a concern, doesn't mean we can't celebrate two of the others failing though.

City aren’t winning the league this season, they’re done.

Smash and grab from United but cheers

Agreed. Didnt like to say it with them because you know what they can do but thats them done now.

If we arent holding the title come May its going to burt more than the other close calls in recent times. What a chance we have

We've got to be proactive in the transfer market, really strengthen from a position of strength.

We have to go for it in January to solidify our position, simply have to.

Buy a versatile commanding CB and the league is easily ours. We can't rely on Konate to stay fit unfortunately.

Would say a CM is most important just to stop Grav getting burnt out more than anything

If we dont sign anyone in jan the owners and edwards etc are taking the piiss. After a disappointing summer failing to reinforce slot properly theyve got some catching up to do. If theyre serious about winning stuff and backing slot theyll have 2 or 3 big key signings lined up for jan already. We need strengthening in a few areas so it shouldnt be hard.
