[Albion] Premier League 26-27/12

[Durlston]

Spurs will jump right up to third if they can build on their dream start in the first minute.

This season may lack the usual quality through fatigue but it is very exciting from the top to bottom.

 

[The Wizard]

Book that diving prick.

 

[The Fits]

Don't give this...

 

[wakeytom]

5Live creaming themselves over 'genius' Allardyce. Embarrassingly OTT

Not really, he is very good at this. He did it for us as well before England came sniffing. I am sure he will keep them up

 

[The Wizard]

Not booking someone for a blatant dive yet penalising players for having armpits offsides or goalkeepers for having half a toe off the line. Useless VAR, one thing I would get on board with is VAR advising the referee to book players for diving when it’s as blatant as that one.

Whilst Sam isn't a progressive move for a club with ideas of advancing and developing, he does a job, and does it well. I'm not expecting him to make a huge difference over SB, but from a BHA perspective, we need to up our game, or WBA couldsurvive, at our expense.

 

[The Wizard]

Mourinho negativity bites Tottenham again.

 

[LamieRobertson]

Kane diving yet again

 

[Stat Brother]

Wolves scoring direct from a corner...






... No cause for alarm.

Mourinho negativity bites Tottenham again.

Mixture of poor defending and good header? If that was Brighton conceding our defence would be slaughtered on NSC

 

[Bombadier Botty]

Mourinho really is a charlatan who happened to get lucky taking over a squad with Kane and Son in it. Still stuns me that Levy hired him, and I like Mourinho.

 

[The Wizard]

Sooner Mourinho realises then era of holding out for 1-0 wins is over the quicker he can move this Tottenham team forward, when you have Kane and Son yet park the bus every time you go 1-0 you are wasting two of the best players in the league.

I don’t think he’ll ever change though.

 

[The Fits]

No wins in four for Spurs.

 

[Weststander]

No wins in four for Spurs.

Levy hands Mourinho a great squad, he inherited the greatest pair of strikers the global game’s ever known, yet he churns out draws and defeats.

Strange. The discontents point to his obsession with holding on to what you’ve got when winning 1-0.

 

[Weststander]

Kane diving yet again

I didn’t see it. I bet the commentators didn’t say Kane dived?

Very progressive manager, at least a few years ago. Pretty much the one who introduced data analysis, tactical periodisation, Milan-lab stuff to keep older players fit etc. and it wouldnt surprise me if he keeps firmly in touch with even newer trends as well. The myth that Allardyce is some type of old-school dinosaur manager is just that, a myth, which should infuriate a lot of those who slate him for not being progressive as well as those who romanticise his "old school" ways.

 

[Motogull]

Its interesting up top. Hopefully Leicester will get a high scoring result tomorrow.

No, they rather talked around the subject

Yeh, he spent a few quid on earpeices and microphones etc as well .... but on the pitch, there's quite a bit of 16 stone strikers and full backs who can kick it 70 yards, the reputation is deserved.

 

[Weststander]

They’re mouthy when it suits them, I’ve heard Neville and Hinchcliffe say “I’m sorry, that’s a dive” or “simply unacceptable”. Aimed at Johnny Foreigners or players for ‘lesser’ clubs.

The moment someone becomes an England stalwart, questioning their honesty becomes taboo.
