Fuck off. Enjoy Europa and losing Bale.

Not surprised considering the poster.

You guys really think it shows a lack of football knowledge to think that AVB is a shitty manager? I think the opposite. He has proven to be a terrible manager of egos (Chelsea) and is close to proving an inability to secure champions league football with quite possibly the best player in the world and a much more talented team than the team who is about to get it in front of him (Arsenal).

IMO next year will be a true testimate to whether or not he is a good manager, but right now, I would def agree with Pick6, especially as a Chelsea fan. What he tried to do at Stamford Bridge was absolutely laughable and showed he has no ability to adapt to the players in place. Tottenham surely has players that are better for his style, but he hasn't done anything (yet) that makes it show a lack of soccer knowledge to question him... at least IMO

Disagree. See above. But I will also add, my hatred of him comes from hearing the way he treated Freidal and how he lied to his face about Lloris. Seems like a snake oil salesman to me.

He would be in 3rd right now with a healthy squad, easily. Also, when you are so dependent on a player ad he goes out, it's really tough. Bale for spurs is like Messi for Barca. Look how bad they are without him...yet the argument can be made they have top 3 talent in the world even when he is out.

I would argue that. I mean look at their squad top to bottom without Bale. Do you think that Arsenal or Chelsea have better teams? I think Chelsea has a marginally better side but I think arsenal should be well below the Spurs.

Logic doesnt work with dickheads who have no intent to have a discussion, but just throw out insults to get their e-dicks hard. Dont waste your time.

Hope AVB and Bale become legends together. Unfortunately, I'm sure he will leave for some bullshit club and tottenham will be relegated.

Woke up early to watch the Chelsea game just to see Ramires got sent off and they are down 1-0 smh. Looks like i'll have to stress til the last match of the season.


edit: Benteke gets sent off and Frank scores. Maybe not. All momentum to Chelsea.

Who woulda thunk that Roger Espinoza would be starting in an FA Cup final after he played at Ohio State?!

Crew wasted a 3-game homestand yesterday. Only taking 3 points out of a possible 9. Fire Bobby. And...there was a "sendoff" to Duncan Oughton who will be joining the TFC coaching staff. I won't miss him.

Manchester United win their last home match at Old Trafford for Sir Alex. #thankyouSirAlex

I made it out to the Dayton Dutch Lions game last night. Solid win, 4-3...HA! It was crazy. They dominated the whole match. They put together a nice side this season. I will be making it on Tuesday for their US Open Cup match against the PDL-side River City Rovers from Louisville, Kentucky.

Wigan! Holy fuck.

Also, Spurs stay alive thanks to a late goal winning 2-1. Dempsey scored in the 20th minute. He has really played well for them this year once he settled in.

And when he's actually played.... Side note... what happened to Defoe?

Dempsey has played most games and started when he has been healthy.

Jermaine Defoe was awesome early and then got hurt. Just hasn't played well since missing time, IMO.
