So how are spurs playing tonight, arsenal/ Brentford playing tomorrow, and utd, Liverpool cancelled due to the funeral 250 miles away in a different city - shocking

There are some club’s fans that will behave impeccably during a minute of silence. Then there are those that simply won’t. No rocket science required to work out who

Brendan Rodgers next for the chop me thinks.
Nice one Sonny - chuffed for him and his smile is back. Well managed Conte too.
As an Arsenal fan that was annoying. Spurs were absolute plop for much of the game and Leicester could have scored more but pleased for Son and his 1st 2 goals were both stunners. Never a 6-2 game though
Taxi for B.Rodgers!

Get this bloody clown out of my club…. He’s sucking the life force out of us
Thanks for the FA Cup, now **** off
I was, but it’s now very clearly broken…. He’s blaming the board, his players and the fans…. It’s all turned rather toxic
He was never a loveable character as he always came across as a bit of self important numpty, but he seemed to be competent and a good coach…. As soon as it started going south he didn’t have much ‘likability’ capital to fall back on…
I was really upset when uncle Claudio went….

During his first months in Scotland some of the more ignorant pundits up here were telling him to go back to Australia and taking pleasure in mispronouncing his name. They didn’t even have the good grace to admit they were wrong when he soon established his managerial abilities.
Sorry for being so tetchy.
No problem…. It was neither most amusing or most sensitive gag…!
Always had a soft spot for Celtic…. You’ve had a storming start to the season…. I’m sure he takes great pleasure in proving the ignorant wrong! All power to him!
Time for our chairman to put in a call maybe??? 😆
Yep…. A pattern seems to be forming for the Brodge! I’m not one of the most ‘reactionary’ of fans, so to feel like I do it must be pretty awful (which it is)
He’s hugely rich, so I’m not too anxious about his career, that and the fact I’m not particularly fond of him!
Yes, he’s not short of self confidence, but he’s bordering on hubris
Agree regarding managerial appointments, he got a bumper pay deal when his stock was high and other came sniffing…. We are paying the price now…
Have you seen how much we are paying Rodgers? We can afford them, but we aren’t an attractive proposition
First win of the season for Everton, happy with that, sitting on a 1-0 lead in the PL is a risky business and explains why we have had so many draws. Need to score a second or a third and kill a game.
West Ham seemed to have a million corners, but nothing came of it. They were very unlucky with that shot that hit the inside of the post and came out.
I’ll take three points…
There's a lot more to it than this. The missus (Thai) is in the same social circles as the owners and there's more to this than what you see and I can't go into too much detail suffice to say opportunities missed in previous seasons has caused significant resentment and means a rebalancing is required particularly as the business stream of the owners has been hammered during the pandemic.
Interesting…. Would love to know what you’ve heard! It’s fairly clear that the KP business got hammered by fewer flights, but Top always aimed to make the club self sufficient….
We’ve just had a ground extension approved and opened a state of the art training facility…. Brendan was told to sell before reinvesting…. Surprise suprise nobody was interested in our dead wood…
We absolutely spaffed two great chances to get into the champions league….
Why aren’t they getting rid? They’ve not been shy of pulling the trigger before
Rodgers has a reported £10m release clause in his contract. That could well be a factor.

I'd also like to congratulate Lamps & Everton for managing Nathan Party-On-Son through his lifestyle & health issues. He's beginning to look like a player.

In all likelihood, you got a quarter or a third up front for Fofana & the rest will be on 'the drip'.
If Rodgers goes, then Sadler, Toure & Davis will likely go as well. I suppose they'll have beneficial release clauses in their contracts. You then have to get another manager who'll want a similar or better deal to Rodgers & his coaching staff.
Cost of change? Upwards of £20m (perhaps upwards of £25m).
Edit: beaten to it by poster above...

Brendan starting to look like Boris... Clinging on no matter what!

Our next three games - October 1st, 5th, 8th. The next rail strikes - October 1st, 5th, 8th. If you want to bet on the next rail strike after that, my tip would be October 16th. You're welcome.
Well, thank goodness that International dirge is over and PL football is back .
Looking forward to Arsenal v Spurs for the first time in a long while . Two really good teams and hard to separate them . Arsenal need a response after losing last time out but Spurs are now tough to beat . Should be a cracker .
Decent 1st half, Spurs dangerous on the counter, suspect more goals in 2nd half as Arsenal fragile at the back (Gabriel) but Spurs playing deep and inviting pressure. Surprisingly not too feisty on the pitch.
On the plus side it was the best first half I’ve seen Spurs play this season. Re the sending off - I’ve seen yellow given for those but no complaints. Was an absolutely stupid foul. Don’t know what Royale was thinking their guy is running back towards his own goal ffs! We seem to have a habit of buying defenders prone to brain farts. Lloris should’ve done better on both goals. Seemed slow getting down for the 3rd
Nice away win for Everton and two wins on the trot. A scrappy game and Southampton could have come back at us. 10 points on the board, 30 to go.
Well we got away with it and nice to see Gallagher get his first but still underperforming get grafting Potter. Great game for the Seagulls.
As an aside i hope Diego gets a run out for Wolves
I FEEL LIKE I'M DIAGONALLY PARKED IN A PARALLEL UNIVERSE
A mediocre season for us (Liverpool) I think
I do have to say Spurs fans can't be happy watching that park the bus shite that Conte's putting into action? Is the plan basically to sit deep and hope the 3 lads up front do some magic? A bit Mourinho-esque and tells me Conte doesn't trust his back line
It’s all bit lump it over the top to the fast fellas.
Partey makes such a difference to the team when he plays frees up Odegard and Xhaka to overload the final third.
Special mention to Harry Kane - will probably break every scoring record but end up with the square root of sod all in the trophy cabinet - lol.
Quick word out for Brighton's new manager, Roberto, was a student of mine a few months back. Totally good guy. His english is better than it seems.
Great day for the Arsenal, thought we absolutely bossed the game a few moments aside, only shame was a week's work of constant refreshing on the Arsenal site didn't result in a ticket
