The Barclays Premier League Thread 2013/14

I would say that the players I'm worried about losing are Lloris, Eriksen, Lamela and Soldado. The rest I'm not too fussed about although I think Paulinho has not been used properly.

To be honest, even if we didn't sign anyone else over the summer (unlikely) and no-one left (even more unlikely) I'd feel more confident about a team of Lloris, Walker, Assou-Ekotto, Vertonghen, Chiriches, Sandro, Paulinho, Eriksen, Lamela, Soldado, Townsend.

Shame about the injuries, lack of managerial ability and a total lack of realisation that our squad is set up to play the same kind of formation as Liverpool or Chelsea.

Lloris

Vertonghen / Chiriches
Walker / Assou-Ekotto
Sandro
Paulinho / Eriksen
Lamela / Soldado / Townsend

What the fuck is Lloris made of?

[Lineker]

Just abject today. So mentally weak.

Will be nice if Liverpool can win the title though.

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

Sherwood just sits up in the stands grumpy. That must REALLY motivate the players to want to win.

[Lineker]

[Berober]

Ahaha. Shambles

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

Bwahahahahahahaha. Pathetic again.

[Jimmy]

Really hate what this season has become. AVB needed time, this is what happens when you sack your manager with no replacement in mind.

[Nerf]

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

Sherwood you plum. Get out down there, show yourself, be counted. Don't slag off your players for showing no heart when you're moping up there like a 16 year old emo.

[9 to 5]

Aye, why let a manager spend near to 100m and sack him halfway through the season?

[brenchill]

I'm sure AVB didn't mind. Big fat pay off and a nice job in Russia. Easy.

[Nerf]

What a tackle.

[Jimmy]

He turned down the PSG job to stay at Spurs, don't think he was too fussed about money.

[DavidMarrio]

Way I'd be looking at it for spurs is that there is a spine there for the team, they do have players they can build the team around. With the right additions and the right manager and with time they can bounce back from this season.

[Lineker]

Leighton Baines celebrated winning at Fulham today with a 99!

[Jimmy]

Biggest worry is that spine will leave now. Lloris and Vertoghen are probably wanting to leave and we have to spend a third year in a row rebuilding.

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

That looks like Soldado's broken for the rest of the season then. Scrape down his achilles?

Never got a chance to show what he's truly made of this season which is a real shame.

[Jimmy]

Another injury to add to the list. Poor Soldado, looked nasty.

[MDK]

Spurs are being battered like a suicidal cod in a fish shop
