I really like Nuno - hope he does well there.

Nuno is a righteous dude.

Maybe Spurs can have a Ewing Theory season without Kane.  Will have to figure out where the missing goals will come from.

Son, Lucas, Bryan, New Striker, New Attacking M, Dele

A few random goals from defenders, Hojbjerg, Skippy.

Spurs should actually be favored to win A trophy this season.  They are the best team, on paper, in the Europa Conference League.

Technically, they still have to qualify for the group stage, starting on Thursday.  But beyond that, its Roma, Union Berlin, and Rennes from the "big" leagues, a bunch of farmers, and then third-place finishers from Europa get dropped in for the knock-out stage.

Jose v Nuno could be a good one.  Just looking at wikipedia, it looks like Nuno was a player at Porto during Jose's time as manager - the team that won the Uefa Cup 2003 and Champions League in 2004.

 

[El Floppo]

Bayern players going down pretty cheaply on 50-50 balls. Ref taking the bait so far, much to the consternation of Haaland and Reyna...in case you want to see some body language.

 

[AAABatteries]

Well that mistake ruined the final 15 minutes.

 

[encaitar]

Who's the 12 year old Bayern just brought on?

 

[JaxBill]

Well that mistake ruined the final 15 minutes.

@wpiootbgw: Let’s just dribble into Bayern’s press and see what happens.. Well, what happens is a Super Cup full of #WPIOOTBGW https://twitter.com/ESPNFC/status/1427724180036874240/video/1

Haaland looked super frustrated.  Is this his final Dortmund match?

 

[El Floppo]

The guy pacing the BM sideline dressed like a gas station attendant is annoying 

 

[El Floppo]

Haaland looked super frustrated.  Is this his final Dortmund match?

I didn't think of it in that light, which might be right. It looked like he just wasn't getting any calls or decent service.

 

[Sinn Fein]

no

As frustrated as he was, he still jumped over 3 20' fences (and back) to give his shirt to that kid.

 

[guru_007]

Welcome to the Bundesliga, Hungarian wunderkid.  My word

 

[Dinsy Ejotuz]

Buncha pub bouncers, gym coaches and washed up rugby players -- hope Liverpool put them to the sword. Hate watching Burnley.

 

[Sinn Fein]

A bit of a Krul result there.

Mings to Ings for Villa

@FPL_FC: WHAT A STRIKE FROM DANNY INGS https://twitter.com/AdnanPel/status/1429093366655078405/video/1

 

[The Gator]

Pin point long ball, 18yo with the control of a vet, sexy first time flick, SEXIER first time shot = goal

The really important part of this clip is the TAA assist.

 

[The Gator]

The really important part of this clip is the TAA assist.

Watched it about 20 times now… not even the chest control by Elliot, but the touch with his foot to put i the ball into the space he needed to make his next touch a pass.

Sheer coincidence that Ben White is "unwell" for Arsenal today amidst rumors that Lukaku could start for Chelsea

 

[AAABatteries]

Matic - no reason he should ever be on the pitch in a meaningful game.

 

[Dinsy Ejotuz]

I missed the first 15 minutes, but based on the last 35 I have no idea how Spurs are winning this.

Also, Adama Traore reminds me of OG Ronaldo, minus the goals.  Skill + crazy power and acceleration.

 

[AAABatteries]

Greenwood with a little luck on the equalizer.  

 

[AAABatteries]

Pogba - brilliant, but just wide.

 

[AAABatteries]

McGuire dawdles on the ball and is saved by DeGea.

Now with a free kick that I don’t think he needed to give up.

 

[CletiusMaximus]

Harry warming up to come on? 

 

[El Floppo]

Harry warming up to come on? 

came on. should've scored after a brilliant bit of play by Bergwjin (sp?).

Wolves look great- no business being down 0-1. they've flared a lot of clear shots just high.

 

[AAABatteries]

Ole with little courage IMO - leave Matic on for 85’ against a Southampton side that’s done nothing?  

 

[El Floppo]

and Lukaku getting the start for Chels vs Ars.

werner will probably score 24 goals.

 

[CletiusMaximus]

Gotta admit the Chevy logo had grown on me. It’s been there so long. It doesn’t really look like United in these blue/yellow shirts. 

 

[Sinn Fein]

Wolves look great- no business being down 0-1

eh?  Should have been 2 or 3 to 0

Wolves had one good chance - the Traore breakaway.

 

[AAABatteries]

Side wasn’t good enough but I blame Ole - no reason to start Matic and to leave him on for 85 minutes was crazy.  

 

[JaxBill]

@AlasdairGold: The Wolves fans sing: "Harry Kane, he wants to f*** off". Spurs supporters reply that he's one of their own. Once he's on, Wolves fans chant "There's only one greedy b*****d" and "He'll be a Manc in the morning". The Spurs fans retort: "Harry Kane, he's worth more than Wolves."

 

[AAABatteries]

Watching the Spurs match on delay - that was a scary head clash early on.  Glad to see both ok.

xG does not agree.  2-2 or 2-1 to Wolves, depending on what you think about non-shot xG.

 

[Dinsy Ejotuz]

Bit the bullet on Peacock.  I'm sure I'll add Paramount+ soon too. Already have ESPN+.

So. Much. Soccer.

xg is bunk.

Wolves had a ton of possession, and created a lot of bad chances.  That leads to an inflated xG.  But, a lot of bad chances really does not lead to more goals.

Paramount is good for CL.

 you were watching something else.

bunch of balls put back to guys in great spots in and around the top of the box- shots flashed high instead of on target. Spurs had a couple of great looks too... but otherwise were dominated.

 

[AAABatteries]

Peacock does one thing right - they don’t post the scores of other games.
