Imagine subjecting yourself to the lifelong torment of being a Tottenham fan.

A few weeks ago they were on top of the world and ready to build Ange a statue out of all his manager of the month awards. 4 losses in 5 have brought them crashing back to reality and I'm absolutely loving every moment of it.

With 4 teams ahead of them and another 4 right behind them (within 3 points) their next few games are going to be VERY important.

Interesting Newcastle lost 3-0 to Everton. Wouldn't have predicted that scoreline

I was expecting Newcastle to build upon last year, and be what Villa is this year. Top 6 is looking really competitive.

Hell, I'd argue anyone West Ham and up have a shout at top 4, only six points between them and Man City in fourth.

not likely, not at all, but there's definitely a chance, especially if injury woes continue and one of those kicks on.

Arsenal have told potential suitors Aaron Ramsdale is for sale in January if an adequate bid arrives, per source.

@I_am_the_grass @GunnersBot who’s that? Are they reliable?

Astrealix@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y

they're pretty reliable, I hope they're wrong this time though... definitely not just copium

Am I crazy in thinking City won't win the league? They lost 5 and tied 5 last year and already have 3 of each this year. They would need to win 19 of 23 games to get 89 points, and I just can't see them doing that.

I think it'll be someone else. I'm not convinced it'll be us.

Astrealix@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 2y

gotta believe, at least. That's the minimum.

I'm imagining 6' 6" Kai Havertz just letting it rip, putting his foot through the ball and shooting a thunderbolt but he just doesn't have that. I don't have a word for it. What is it that lets some players have a propensity to taking shots from distance? The force he could generate with his long legs 😮‍💨makes me wonder.

He's like a pair of parallel sticks trying to play football.

@SoupACabra @GunnersBot but Clive keeps mentioning seeing him banging them in so he must be able to do it!

Jonas actually won manager of the month.... I mean yeah on paper it's deserved, but has anyone seen how we actually played???

Astrealix@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y

Lacasse won it, is the way I'm thinking about it XD

To be fair, he did contribute, for sure. I'll allow it, no one was particularly stand-out.
