It's more of a Psychological problem, they're mentality dead - all of then.

Can you please more elaborate. i dont fully understand what do you think of them 

But yes i understand the people who is a Spurs because is from there and it comes with his family, but anyone who is a spurs fan from outside England..... damn.

Did you watch the game against Arsenal? The new manager almost ran mad on the touchlines, he spent the entire time shouting at his defenders and midfielders trying to manually position them in his head but they were all physically, psychologically and mentally dead especially the VDN guy- he's a walking corpse at the back.

I told one of my friends who is a Spursy fan that losing Son ( the last living thing) in the team would be a grave sin. Zero leadership now.

Imagine having X. Simon whose last good game was at EURO2020 as your tailman. Diabolical

Can Chelsea put another nail in the coffin of Arsenal in the next round? I think it can happen. Arsenal avoid the spurs bullet, but i dont know if they can avoid the Blue one.

There's no better time to show those bastards who owns London but but.... We have a school teacher as manager so I'm not expecting much. Oh I miss Enzo the Mascara!!!!

Do you miss Maresca's frequent lineup changes? Rosenior is the best teacher.

We're not sure about Chelsea, let me put it this way because Arsenal for us are still worth the gamble. Palmer and Pedro might bring passion later.

Nah, you're too honest roasting your own favorite club lol.

But I actually hope Chelsea can make some emphasis in this match especially with Arsenal's condition which in recent weeks has always lost motivation to win. Although last week's results successfully made their confidence increase a little but I hope Chelsea can make something that Arsenal can't forget until the end of the season.

A little difficult indeed especially Arsenal playing home and 2 unpleasant results from Chelsea but at least there is pride about London that must be maintained.

Thomas Frank was not the problem,,, 100% with you, but I think our dumb board gave up the league and thought Igor has better chance of doing well in UCL, which Thomas also did very well!!

Igor has managed clubs in crisis in recent years, he must have been brought in to bring some stability to the club in what is fast becoming a crisis. Doing well in UCL will be an advantage but the management surely cannot be setting that as a target on their board.

Good question. To my surprise, Chelsea are priced roughly the same as Tottenham. Arsenal win is selling for 1.63, and if I remember correctly, against Tottenham it was around 1.5. It looks like a huge disrespect to Chelsea's 5th place, compared to Tottenham's 16th place  

Arsenal being at home for this one where we have only lost once all season will be the reason for that. The odds have dropped some more to 1.58 now.

Regarding Arsenal vs Chelsea, I really don’t like Arsenal. They play ugly football and have some really unlikeable players, Arteta is annoying too but I have no choice but to want them to win this weekend.

Chelsea are one of the teams fighting for a CL spot so I have to want the best for Liverpool and in this scenario it is an Arsenal win.

He was an asshole with rotation sometimes but we were a more better overall as a team than we are now- Liam is getting the results but our overall performance has been shit and boring to watch.

un_rank isn't going to like this one- when it come to Arsenal and Arteta he's very biased, he doesn't see fault in anything.

Stopping Arsenal in a London derby to help Manchester City will be the best highlight for me this season. Our common enemy should be Aston Villa and if they get off the way, we would all fit in.

I was going to look away and now you have ruined that for me 

I guess everyone has their bias and that is part of the game, no one can see their own bias same way the brain does not see the nose.
Arteta has been one of the most chill characters for several months now but everyone losses their heads when he steps a few centimeters outside his technical area and mention that he said something 3 seasons ago in a press conference. And they are the team who crafted one of the most disrespectful banners about a coach that has been paraded in a game. I have tried but cannot think of one unlikable player we have for good reason.

All I want is a day when everyone accepts their bias

Oh yeah sure, Aston Villa have a lot of injuries and they are starting to stutter. I think they will drop points away at Wolves on Friday night. It’s a bit of a local derby and as Wolves showed against Arsenal they can fight for a result sometimes. Liverpool absolutely must be in that top 5 which will get CL football so yeah, let’s both pray for Aston Villa’s downfall, and Man Utd’s too

"Unlikable" players sometimes means you don't have that "wow" kind of of prayer to attract opponents to watch.

This is not the best time to play against relegation battling teams; every game is a final to them- it'd be a good result for them and for the rest of the team playing for CL spot. A win a win

Relax... we believe Liverpool will win and Chelsea lose, finally Liverpool can shift Chelsea this week so that Arne Slogan can keep it.

Sometimes the annoying thing is, Liverpool always perform badly with the underdog team.

He was an asshole with rotation sometimes but we were a more better overall as a team than we are now- Liam is getting the results but our overall performance has been shit and boring to watch.

There are pluses and minuses of every coach, maybe you have to see until the end of the season how Rosenior brings his team to qualify for Champion league tickets... I think Chelsea is boring it always plays badly with weak teams.

Wolves aren't battling relegation - they are relegated.
They started preparing for the Championship already - and are playing a lot better without the 'survival' pressure.

Wirtz out for the WH game, I hope we string a few decent attacks together without him. the NFO game was terrible.

Wirtz out for the WH game, I hope we string a few decent attacks together without him. the NFO game was terrible.

Slot was really cryptic in the pre match interview, Wirtz was pictured in training this week so it’s a surprise he’s out for the West Ham game. Hopefully we’re just being overprotective because it didn’t seem like a bad injury when he pulled out of the warm up against Forest.

West Ham are not a great team but everybody seems to cause us problems at the moment. I predict a very unimpressive, nervy win for us but 3 points is 3 points at this stage of the season.

Elsewhere Arsenal take on Chelsea, I don’t want Arsenal to win very often but this is one of those times. We need the other teams in CL qualifying positions to drop points. I actually think Wolves will get something tonight against Aston Villa too.

We know the management did not like a Europa Cup which brought them a lot of Champions League money, so definitely winning Champions League will not do anything for Igor but,,, I hope the board comes to their senses because there is no coach who can do anything different in one season and all coaches know this hence nobody great will touch this club.

I bet Wolverhamption miss Nuno a lot in this context.

Wolves aren't battling relegation - they are relegated.

Oh really? That was fast, I haven't been paying too much attention to those on the red zones, but getting relegated before GW 30 is unreal - whoever the manager is deserves to get arrested before getting sacked.

I had a big stake on Aston Villa to win tonight and for the first time in a while, they lost - yes, I know they've been struggling in recent games but against Wolves? For the first time, I don't feel bad for losing a good money cause I wanted them out of top4 anyways.

I wonder if winning the Championship will count for something if you guys drop down like the Europa league did 
Sorry, I could not resist the opportunity. I think Igor will have time to work, it is a stabilizing job now in preparation for next season.

They are not mathematically relegated yet, cryptofrka was saying that they have resigned to the fate that they would be come the end of the season and are playing to enjoy their last few matches of top flight football rather than drearily moving to the drop. You can see that in how they have been playing, they were very good against Villa playing with no pressure.

No one resigned fate when it's still mathematically possible to stay up in the league; they're playing quite well recently because their motivation is to stay up and not otherwise. We should give credits where it due without trying to discredit efforts.

I didn't see the game against Aston Villa, it was a wrong time for me. Only saw the goals and how went into the drain.

We can't afford to lose tomorrow too close gaps as we're 2 points away from 8th.

[leea-1334]

Unai Emery must be tearing his whole head out of his neck,,, but at the same time I think the team in 20th is now improving with every game, already bottom, nowhere to go but up, this is a bad time to be meeting Wolverhampton

Nothing interesting for me to see today, but if we win before Arsenal + Chelsea, it will be a bit nicer to watch them in good spirit  

I wonder if winning the Championship will count for something if you guys drop down like the Europa league did

It could not save the job of our Australian, it will not mean anything

Arsenal have only lost three games general all season, but if you factor in the possibility of a draw, the picture is different. Incidentally, the first game against Chelsea also ended in a draw. But maybe I'm exaggerating (because I don't want City to be at the top again) after all, there are 16 points between the teams plus the home advantage - on paper it should mean a home win.
Bloody City don't drop points even when their opponents are playing well (like Leeds), but at least they print money for me:

No one is discrediting their efforts, I was only explaining to you what the message you responded to must have meant and it is the general idea even among pundits that the team is trying to play without the pressure of trying to avoid the drop a task that is almost impossible for them given their current position, that is not saying they are motivated to drop but they want to show the best football they can with their remaining games as opposed to trying to defend their games and hope for a draw or a lucky win which most will go for.

How not to be frustrated with Unai... after he was firmly in second place but the decline continued due to poor performance, I'm not sure what affected Aston Villa to lose to the relegation team, here we are upset because we bet Aston Villa to win.

Chelsea seemed to be given no chance at home to Arsenal... I think tonight will be the same.
Spurs won't win... Manchester United will win against Palace.
