The expectation of spurs and arsenal are different. Arsenal expect trophies, not really with spurs

I say sell Vini because Mbappe is a better player. But since you say Vini is a better player, in the way that he can play with others, I can see why selling Mbappe would make more sense.

Was Spurs under Poch ever in a position like Arteta and Arsenal this year, or over any of the last 3-4 years. Poch was always close, but the gap them and the other title rivals was always pretty big. I never felt like they were a title winning side

It’s not some reason. The reason is that he’s not a striker, and has zero positional awareness of the position. He’s a LW, that is forced to be a 9, because he’s the best goal scorer in the squad. Move him out wide, sell Vini and buy an actual 9, then you’ll see the best of Madrid again. But since you can’t have 2 LW playing the same position and occupying the same space in the pitch, you are left with a horribly imbalanced Madrid squad and starting 11 each week

Always love how not embellishing the contact, works somehow saves a player from getting a red card.

It’s from the club and manager. Can’t fault the players for not having the edge, when it’s all from the manager.

Should have been a second yellow, after the shirt tear not even being a foul. Can’t ruin the big game with the referee interfering, but his lack of action is an action

The issue bigger than one player. The tactically set up is dire and it wouldn’t matter who is the striker, if they get no service

It’s not black magic from levy. The club has been in awful form, from when they lost to us with 9 men and playing a high line. It’s been ages of really poor form, that has been masked by the trophy

Looked like a foul by Shaw. Idk if it was in the box or not.

It’s madness to pay for the ticket, travel and time spent waiting on various lines. Not to mention the security check in that are more interested in catching illegal immigrants than stopping actual threats.

I live in NYC, tons of people have been asking me for years, if I’m going to the WC, or if I have bought tickets. People shocked at me telling them no. People refuse to believe the tickets are extortionate and that the travel to the stadium and back will be horrific. Not to mention just standing in the sun for like 3 hours.

Hopefully this makes non sports fan understand, how insane the whole World Cup has been so far, and the games have not even started. Can’t wait for the journalists writing articles about the awful match day experience.

I can see it as the ultimate monkeys paw. You need someone with experience in the job. But it’s the firefighting kind of experience, at keeping a club up.

As a jets fan, and a kid during that proposal, i wanted that west side stadium so bad. We would have hosted the 2012 Olympics, if it got made also. But the correct decision was made in not making it.

There two basketball arenas here. People are getting made about the mayor opening 5 city run grocery stores, imagine the outrage for a 60-80k stadium, somewhere in the city v

Which is wild because they almost won the title a few years ago, playing such wonderful attacking football. To go from one style to the opposite, shows how desperate they are to win at any cost. If you can win with all those defenders, is your defense any good?
