'Even allowing for inflation, this thread is not worth 198 Terry Francises' - EPL 2017-18

If Conte's sacked think it will be the 3rd season in a row where the current Champions have sacked their manager the following year.

it's about 6 in a row they've left their club, think pellegrini agreed to walk at the end of his season making him odd man out iirc

There must be at least a couple of Watford fans who left to beat the traffic when Hazard equalised

nah, they were the better team by a mile. Never in doubt

It's ok, they've got West Brom next

Mick McCarthy was sacked as Wolves manager in 2012 after losing 5-1 at home to the Baggies.

Andre Villas-Boas suffered the same fate at Chelsea after a 1-0 defeat at The Hawthorns in March 2012 and, eight months later, his successor Roberto di Matteo departed after a 2-1 defeat at the same ground in his final league match (his final game in charge was against Juventus in the Champions League).

Roberto Mancini was sacked by Manchester City despite having just beaten West Brom 1-0 in May 2013.

Paolo di Canio lost his job at Sunderland after losing 3-0 to the Baggies in September 2013.

Chris Hughton was sacked by Norwich after losing 1-0 to WBA in April 2014.

Sir Alex Ferguson's final match in charge of Manchester United before retiring was also against the Baggies - a 5-5 draw in May 2013.

And Craig Shakespeare was given the boot just four months after being made permanent manager following a 1-1 draw in October 2017.

sorry for bias but I can't sign up to this scenario

If we don't finish about these wastemen then Poch out.

Attaboy

apparently Evra is joining West Ham (!)

jim white was weirdly excited
i think uefa have to waver his ban if so for rightfully smashing up that racist fan

thrown that accidental ogden nash piece in the poetry thread haha

Why is this not subject to transfer window?

he's a free agent.

No results found for "i'm for evra blowing bubbles"

y'know when you're having a bad Football Manager season when you start rifling thru the free agents

we got two hundred good minutes out of leon best before his knee gave in again forever

Guardiola on G-Nev: "My job is serious. It is not a joke. Never is it a joke. He should know because he was a manager... for a short time".

lol

This stinging arsenal approach is p much what we are weakest against

spurs look really strong tho

their pressure has just been relentless

imo

wilshere my favourite player to watch in this, always seems to be doing something creative and unexpected

HALF-TIME

Tottenham 0-0 Arsenal

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

That bad huh?

actually son best player in this isn't he

it's a bitty match but lots going on

there it is

tuned in just in time

that was coming

Should've been 2

omg

oooooffff should've been 3!

No way Arsenal can find a way back in this, Spurs are on.

I don’t think Spurs are winning this unless they score again.

When Dembele is good, he's great.

bellerin u garbage mate

oof jack

wheels comin off

Bellerin one of only 8 or 10 players who played every PL minute this season. That stat surprised me.

if we throw it away to this shower then everyone out

lolcazette

oh you fuck

That was agony.

srsly, can barely get satisfaction from that rn

never in doubt tbh. arsenal so toothless.

The offside flag was a beautiful sight today, up for Arsenal again and again and again.

For real, seven points from United, Arsenal and Liverpool represents one hell of a fortnight.

lovely x

Always in doubt

Lloris slow to come out again!

That said that twenty minutes after half time was crushing stuff

Alli has to lose his spot to lamela soon

HALF-TIME

Tottenham 0-0 Arsenal

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

That bad huh?

This is unfair btw it was a very nicely balanced match at 45 mins

Mkhitaryan reverting to type I see...

He was bad

Lacazette will take shit for two poor efforts but they were the two best chances any arsenal player got on the end of all game

I know he shanked two opportunities to win the game at the end but as far as today goes Lacazette >>>>>> Aubameyang, who I didn't even notice was on the pitch for the entire 90mins.

This is best we've played for ages. The real Mooy has returned. Bournemouth couldn't cope with the pace of Mounie and Pritchard. I had forgotten what it is like to be entertained lately. I think it's something like 5 of our next 7 are games are against teams we have already beaten, so it's absolute shit or bust time. Let's see if we can bollox up this 2nd half.

I was just thinking "get fucking Kongolo on for Malone ffs" and then it magically happened.
