And to @Matt I'm all for a smash and grab but it's no more of a tactical masterclass than watching a more expansive manager successfully break down a parked bus whilst staying solid at the back.

Fuching embarrassing Probably because most of our supporters were in the toilets changing their pants by full time. We had just spent the best part of 30 minutes watching our players hang on for dear life.... Some times the performance on the pitch is what motivates the crowd. Spurs were flying in to every tackle, giving 110%, of course its going to rile up their fans more than us having to watch Armatey do his best get a Wolves Assist....Also their managers first PL game....

Yet you only hear it used in that context. I think this is a case of middle ground being needed, you're against constant defensive smash and grabs, i'm against pointless sideways possession based football without it getting anywhere. You hear one thing I heard the other but I beg to differ with your "Yet you only hear it used in that context" comment, how often are we told "possession based football is the way the game should be played" or "If you're bored of watching Man City you're bored of football" even as much as "If you don't like Man City, you don't like football" (As I quote Jamie Redknapp). There's some middle ground to be found in both our arguments 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There will always be the ones that stay until the end, and there will always be those that leave early to beat the traffic or other reasons.

Popular Post AjcW Posted 15 August 2021 Popular Post Share Posted 15 August 2021 Is there a load of new people on here this weekend or something? Some right crap being spouted. Why on earth would anyone hold over celebrating against anyone else given we’ve not seen any live football in nearly 2 years? **** me! I always struggle to understand why people can’t put rivalries aside for two seconds and just think “at the end of the day they’re fans of their club just like I am” Its been a brilliant weekend for the country, for the Premier League, for everyone’s sanity! Just enjoy it 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You think with just Mahrez we would have won the league? Possibly not... but irrelevant and hypothetical either way because we did have him, we won the league as a team. My point is he is not a club legend in my view. He a excellent player who used to play for us that's it. Others can think what they like but I think if you look at the definition of legend it doesn't really fit. Football is a team game, no one player is bigger than my club. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Him Kante and Vardy were our best players that season. Regardless of when and why they left every player who contributed to our premier league win is a legend. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man City and Liverpool players and management have both been guilty of literally bemoaning opposition and I quote of "Not playing how we wanted them to play". It's beyond me why they'd even say that, surely that is the idea, you make it tough for the opposition and give yourself the best chance of getting something out of the game. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
