Thought I'd been hacked when I read that back.

Guessing this is nonsense, but it made me chuckle:

   Adama on the wing, Dele in the hole, and you up front.  How does that sound Sonny?

Poor old Villa, back to ESR it is then

[Carl the Llama]

In a remarkable coup for nominative determinism, Pacos de Ferreira, Tottenham's Conference League opponents tonight, have 3 (THREE) players in their starting XI named Ferreira:

André Ferreira (GK)

Fernando Manuel Ferreira Fonseca (RB)

Hélder Ferreira (RW)

 

(I didn't want to make a whole ECL thread for this one nugget)

Honestly think Ramsdale is one of the worst 'keepers in the league over the last 2 years. I'm sure there are stats to disprove me but seems like generally shots just go through him.

the stats have him as completely average. not awful, but arsenal could have done far better things with 30m

JWP is in that difficult bracket of too good for Southampton but not good enough for the teams who are a decent bit better. The gap between Southampton and the likes of Villa and West Ham arent really big enough to warrant a move for him you'd feel.

This Puma 3rd Kit is beyond aweful in my opinion.

This is horrific. Looks like something you just wear around house.

The knock off kit makers are going to be furious - how can they possibly make it look any naffer than that!

He probably is as good as Leno, tbh. I don't rate either but Leno is allergic to anything over head height.

Leno is seriously poor, no command of his area or general presence between the sticks.

 

Why Arsenal sold Martinez is beyond me… yet I’m not convinced Ramsdale’s the answer to their goalkeeping quandary.

Spurs are losing.

He has been playing behind Bournemouth and Sheffield utd though tbf. Must face an average 30 shots a game.

Be honest.

Hands up those who:

a) Googled nominative determinism, or

b) Couldn't be ars*d, or 

c) Laughed and pretended you didn't need to do a)

[ALC Fox]

Spurs surely must be thinking that not  being in the ECL would be the best thing for their season? I can't see them fielding a stronger line-up in the second leg unless there's a backlash and they go strong to save face.

[weller54]

Spuds...

You know when you've been well and truly Ferreira'd!

Maybe some of us already knew what it meant   I haven't looked, but I doubt there are any footballers named Leicester, anywhere?

Well I did google that ... and this came up.  Colors seem to match their kit.

 

What could be Spursier than losing to an "eau de toilette".  Without so much as a shot on goal.
