They have one of the best NetSpend BTW - I'll give them that.

I have my money on Totteham "not to be relegated" even though I'd like to see them go, but I don't trust Westham or Nottingham Forest to do so. I also have my money on Nottingham Forest to join Wolves and Burnley to the Championship, which would show the owner what an idiot he is for destroying the club to feed his personal ego.

Yeah we signed some good players last summer but we left several areas critically short on quality. Defensive midfield and centre back are both weak, Konate has been a clown all season and Gravenberch is not a DM. We could really do with Caicedo Salah and Gakpo out wide too have been really poor.

I also think Spurs will survive, they are crap but they should be too good to go down.

Kerkaz hasn't played to expectations, same with Frimpong  but what I don't understand is why is he being played out of position? He's a midfielder and not a full back - he could do a good job at DM.

Caicedo? He rejected Klopp so who's Anal Slut? Well, It's even hard to trust these owners anyway; I'm sure if they see a good offer they'd ship him off for profits and get us 3 more Caicedos from South America.

Konate is another Tosin in our team; great height, zero duel threats. Go for Bournemouth Senesi

Never would have thought that I'd find a Spurs fans in this forum.... so how does it feel taking the 17th place two seasons in a row? Its gonna be a nightmare soon if West Ham suddenly take over the 17th place from you guys

You must have missed it,,, but I was also away for a couple of years It was easy to be one for a long time even when we won nothing, it is even quieter now that we are not just nothing winners, we are nothing losers. Ask me again end of season,,, I might be supporting Championship for first time in my life!

You got a solid point there tbh. You guys basically won nothing much so yeah being at the bottom of the league wont really change much. I got a bet on polymarket for Tottenham to relegate so it would be interesting if they actually make it to the Championship

Call me sentimental but I can never bet against my team,,, it is nothing logical just something psychological but the odds for Spurs to relegate even when we were 5 points above was quite great (like 10x). Hope you took that amount because the odds are not so sweet right now.

Do you lose fees when selling shares at Polymarket? I see people talk about it a lot and some of the .99 cent shares look so tempting but it looks too good to be true for 1% earning

The goals market pays a lot against Chelsea and I've been picking it in the last 5 games; we're running a circus and the players don't give a fuck. I know they'll conceed in every game  so I tell my myself; why don't you make some money off their shitty ass to heal?  Win but let the opponents score so I can also make some money. We all go home happy..

Odds on Nottingham Forest relegation is x6 at the moment - I picked it at x8

Frimpong a DM? He hasn't played a game there in his whole career.
He was either a wing-back or a winger, we tried him partially in both roles this season - he's been hit and miss. I don't hate him, but nowhere near consistent enough to be a starter in the team.

Kerkez started poorly but is growing as the season goes, he's actually been quite good recently. I think he'll be ok as long as he doesn't overthink it - he's not the sharpest tool in the shed.

He did a lot of midfield inverting at Bayer with Alonso's 3-4-3 formation where he played as RM in attacking phase- I think he could be more useful there. Well, forget about it I just read an interview where he started that he hates to be played in the midfield. Guess that solved the whole saga.

It's being a tough season for everyone one; funny how Liverpool and Chelsea went from Top contenders to Top4 rivals  

Edit: Saka, Rice and Maduake have left the National team camp; Arteta isn't messing around, he has gotten back his most important players.

It looks like Slot is still trying how Klopp rotates for player positions because what he is doing now is the same as raising Trent's position in the Klopp era but the results are not effective even Frimpong who is the object does not like it

Arteta doesn't want to play around with the end of the season because he knows Arsenal's weaknesses are always in the phase towards the end of the season where there are always problems that make even the original gap points can be overtaken by other clubs.
Currently some of their players are likely to be injured after the international break and this will definitely have great potential for their performance so Arteta is a little panicked about the conditions that occur.

It's the same pattern every time, and it doesn't make sense anymore: always attempting to cheat the system; that's two weeks off for his key players. If I were the national team manager, I would cease selecting them for national duty because why are you always feeling discomfort when it comes to international games but not club football. 

Our players that should be faking injuries and returning are busy playing every minutes and getting kicked around  they forgot what position we're.

I would definitely pick West Ham over Nottingham Forest as relegaters,,, just also will be good for football to show you cannot just spray money into a team and change it entirely to win and keep trying, they had one Wood season and that was it now time to go back down.

Although mind you,,, I am not saying Tottenham deserve to stay either And despite our shitty defense I cannot bet even Clean Sheet No

Westham to kiss relegation is 2x at the moment - not worth the risk and time; this is something that comes by every weekend easily. Nottingham Forest is still competing in Europe and has tough games against Aston Villa, Chelsea, Manchester United, Newcastle, and Bournemouth. Scaling past these fixtures would need grace and good luck.

Sacking Tudor now when they should have done it two months ago doesn't make any sense. Who's coming in?

It was such a weird choice to begin with. Spurs are a decent team, at least on paper, what they needed was a different tactical approach and not a tactically weak manager whose biggest strength is that he likes to yell a lot.
Half of that team surely knows what a good manager is because most played under one, so there is absolutely no surprise that they boycotted him from the off.

I think they'll survive, would be fun to see them drop down though. They did deserve it but Forest deserves it more.

You'll be shocked to find out the only manager who gave him a point in his short spell - just guess  flops recornize flops

I haven't heard of the name anywhere before until he got the Totteham job; I'm told, he left the job by mutual agreement to mourn his late father.

We already have Enzo Fernandez going publicly to praise what a manager Enzo Maresca was - they're currently in a shit hole
