We're both battling relegation and trying to appoint as many managers as possible this season. Shambles.
I have given up trying to understand what Spurs are doing, Adam.
Xavi not playing Pedro through near the end is infuriating. I've defended him a lot this season but how can he not send that ball in behind Atleti's defence?
If it had ended 5-3, you can turn the narrative into a fightback after a horror start. Instead we added to the brain injuries at the club.
We'll put aside the "not acknowledging his substitutes" narrative TNT wouldn't let go but his selection choices & system are hard to understand.
Imagine if we had Tel & Xavi (eh) on the pitch for the last 20 minutes in the 10s instead of Gray and Conor. 5-1 or 8-1 makes no difference. Have a go.
Well.. that was as bad as we could have expected & not as bad as we could have expected.
Atleti aren't much. Alvarez is class and Griezmann looked at his best. But those opening 20 minutes were so bad they could have brought back Nick Hancock's Football Hell.
Kinda feels like Tudor is done too.
I'm aware that Spurs could have sent me into a delusional trance but this game could easily end 8-1 or 4-3. Next goal feels massive.
And I know it's asking a lot but could we have no more individual errors that lead to goals please lads?
COYS.
As for the errors themselves.. fuck me.
On a human level, you feel for Kinsky. He would have been desperate for a chance to prove himself and then it nosedives into oblivion.
Micky having another clanger. Lucky to still be on the pitch.
Can we change some of their boots at least?
If you take away the horrible slips/errors it's been quite even. Haha. I wonder if how mental that start was has actually thrown Atleti off their game.
Not sure the midfield pairing is working either.
RKM sloppy but looks like he could cause problems. Need Tel (and Richy) on the ball more.
Kev has been absolutely fine. Aside from daring to throw it short once.
Think it's a shame we are facing one of the only non-English teams who love the idea of meat walls.
Always the ones you least expect.
If youโre roughly my age, itโs wild to reflect on the optimism for the future Americans felt when Obama was elected โ young Americans spontaneously took to the streets to celebrate! โ and contrast with what we face today. The falloff over the past 18 years is hard to process.
Deactivate and move elsewhere. That's what the rest of us did ๐คทโโ๏ธ

A bit like how rugby and American Football players are having their brains tested for damage, we need to see what happened to all these 'celebrity grifters'. Why can't they just disappear from the spotlight gracefully & become talking heads on those nostalgia programmes we get over Xmas & New Year.
Screenshot from Omid Djalili on Twitter replying to Zack Polanski re the Israeli bombing of a school in Iran: Nothing is proved yet Zack. The fact that you are spreading misinformation is appalling for someone in your position. To date no one has been allowed to see any evidence of casualties or even the site itself. The regime says it's America or Israel. The Americans say they were nowhere near the area. Here's what Iranians inside Iran say: IRGC blew it up themselves to fill it up with dead bodies of children they've kept on ice hidden away in cold storage from the January slaughters to put on display in order to blame their aggressors. The fact that we have not seen the evidence yet is a red flag as we know the regime would have gleefully paraded those images on television and all over the internet. Most probably they were caught on film transferring the bodies hence why there is now a media black out on this story, as well as a full internet blackout. As Iranians we know how this regime operates. We're talking about new levels of evil. So any narrative like the one you are pushing Zack actually supports the regime in their "don't care how many die as long as we
Whew boy, โIran planted the frozen bodies of dead children in the school and then blew it up themselvesโ is a fucking HELLL of a take
It's quite embarrassing for the human race that this shit-clapping buffoon has been elected to lead a major country โ twice!
I'd even take a 2025 one, just after the Europa League win. Let's have a proper crack at the transfer window and leave Thomas at Brentford.
It's bad because even that is better than this. Haha.
Maybe we can just reload a previous save?
This was all avoidable. That's the frustrating thing. You could have sacked a manager out of his depth and given a new one the January window to fix the errors โ or at least some of them.
Romero has let us down too. We've badly missed him. And Micky tonight? Captains? Leadership? My arse.
The rot and blame lies entirely with the board.
They allowed Frank to stay when it was clear we were heading downwards. They didn't do anything to help in the January window and arrogantly assumed we would have enough.
This whole club has coasted on the existence of Kane & Son. We're done.
I'm almost lost for words. This group find new ways to disappoint me. I'll take Tel & Gray, sack off the rest.
Honestly.
When we aren't horrible, we are indisciplined.
Frank shoulders a lot of the blame, but Igor's decisions are just as baffling. Square pegs in round holes. Totally embarrassing.
And don't get me started on Micky. Zero brain cells.
This is not a day for testing your blood pressure. I can't believe what I am watching. The armband is cursed. We are cursed.
But explain to me why we are sticking to three at the back when we only have ONE recognised CB? Surely it would be more balanced to have Pedro, Joao, Kev and Gray in a four?
