holystove Posted February 23, 2017 Report Share Posted February 23, 2017 in last years' CL, Gent beat Lyon, Valencia and Zenit.. they are not a bad side (very good manager). Gent deserved to win tonight, they were the better side. I assume spurs will win their home game though. Tottenham out after 2-2 @ Wembley.

c1982 Posted February 23, 2017 Report Share Posted February 23, 2017 Tottenham out after 2-2 @ Wembley. Tottenham's form at Wembley has been really poor in Europe - it doesn't bode well at all for them with Wembley being their home next season... it could work out well for us though so long may it continue!!! ??

holystove Posted February 24, 2017 Report Share Posted February 24, 2017 Nope. Only European football for Spurs. So, technically, if Spurs never qualify for European football again, he doens't get any punishment for trying to break another players' leg?

Pretty much yeah. He'll be fined by the club for the red which is money he wont miss, and it will only be a 3 game ban that, unfortunately.

He's such a f*cking snide. He does get away with a lot, being the new 'media darling'. Barkley isn't anywhere near as bad (attitude) as Alli, yet the sun shines so far out of Alli's ass, its embarrassing. There's no doubt there was retaliation in his intent .

"When I was sacked as a champion [by Chelsea], it was a giant negative thing," Mourinho said. "But now I know it was peanuts in comparison. "Nobody can delete what Claudio did. If some of the stories [about the players] are true, or just a little bit true, it is difficult to find words to justify that. "Probably the season started with a typical selfishness of others -- people thinking of new contracts, leaving, more money, forgetting who helped them reach a certain level. "This is not just football. It is part of the world. Some principles are going away. "I lived a similar experience, but peanuts compared to Claudio's. But maybe it is Claudio's fault. He is paying for his success. "My word is my shirt," Mourinho said, pointing to the "CR" initials on his top. "My little homage to the man who wrote the most beautiful story of the Premier League. "Somebody who deserves the Leicester stadium to be named after him -- the Claudio Ranieri Stadium. "Leicester made history two years in a row -- the most beautiful story and now they are also in the highlights for a decision that has everyone in football united because it is very difficult to accept. "It is important that we realise this is football and we have to adapt."

c1982 Posted February 24, 2017 Report Share Posted February 24, 2017 Why would Pearson go back for a 3rd spell? He may feel, as many Leicester fans do, that it was his set-up that won them the league last year and actually he deserves another crack now the dust has settled and his lad has moved on. I'd expect he'd be the first choice for many Leicester fans. He'd probably want Walsh back as him, Walsh and Shakespeare worked very closely.

'Ranieri waved them away and insisted there should be only one voice at the club.' that article throwing Claudio under the bus. I'm not having it. THey lost their most important player in Kante, never should have let him leave, he's a big part of why Chelseas doing so well. Vardy and Mahrez the other 2 have been dog shit all season. Loafing about not working hard at all (which they did last year hence the wins). They all think they're Ronaldo's now and should earn big bucks and are tyring to work on that instead of work on the pitch. Have fun in the championship where you belong Vardy, best of luck in france mahrez, you'll still be just ok for lyon or nice or whomever you sign with over there. players fault for me.

Barkley isn't anywhere near as bad (attitude) as Alli, yet the sun shines so far out of Alli's ass, its embarrassing. There's no doubt there was retaliation in his intent . I agree, I like a player with a bit of OTT aggression but in the McCarthy sense, whereas Alli seems intent on injuring another player at times. Shocking tackle and should be banned for longer.

c1982 Posted February 25, 2017 Report Share Posted February 25, 2017 Listening to 693 on my way home from GP... all Leicester fans agreeing on the phone in that Claudio had to go. It seems non-Leicester fans see it as a disgraceful decision but on this evidence the Leicester fans are saying it's the correct decision. They're the ones who haven't seen their club score a single goal in the league this year. They're the ones who see their Champions sat in the bottom 3 of the league. It's easy for non-Leicester fans to say Claudio should stay for what he did but we're not the ones who pay to watch them week in, week out and have the emotional attachment to the club rather than the manager.

They have become fickle on the back of the success Ranieri brought them, had he not won the league and they were in this position they probably would have stuck with him like they did Pearson. Personally I'd have got rid of the players, and give Ranieri a job for life. markjazzbassist 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
