^ That Man City chart is pretty crazy the other way.

there's a video floating around of Kurt Zouma kicking and hitting his cat. Something seriously rotten in modern football these days, just seems there's some disgusting #### every other day now. Mendy, Giggs, Sigurdsson, Greenwood, Overmars, Zouma ... I'm about to be done with this ####.

I hear ya, but I think the proportion of people with bad traits, is the same as it has ever been. The difference being is everything is video recorded now.

As long as clubs, governing bodies, & authorities address it, we move on.

Officials on all sides doing their best to keep this interesting.

This has got to be as rare as it gets...

Trippier paying dividends already...

Zouma is playing tonight in the Hammers Watford game, the fans, Watford and West Ham are chanting 'that's how your cat feels' every time he gets bumped fouled or generally kicked

I havent been following Pogba all that closely but....

A positive first half performance ended with only Paul Pogba's first league goal for 384 days to show for it.

That is pretty dismal.

One foot out the door already?

I'm still not sure why Spurs seems so adamant on forcing him out when they sold him to Athletico.

He wanted out, the season prior he wasnt good and near the end of the season was being dropped and I dont think he and poch had a good relationship

Poch said he came to him when players came back from offseason break and said he wanted to go and asked if the club would accept the offer from madrid

[d_phaneuf]

Found the quote

Per Goal, Pochettino said:

"In the only conversation when he arrived [back] after the summer, he came to see me, he asked me for a meeting and said, 'Gaffer, I think I have a good possibility, and for different reasons I would like to accept the offer from Atletico Madrid.'


"He didn't ask me nothing—only whether the club were going to accept the offer. Nothing more. It wasn't a conversation—'You want me? Or you don't want me?' It was so clear."

[d_phaneuf]

Most spurs fans werent all that worried about letting him go though, like I said above he wasnt great that year, and expectations were sky high after his world cup

But I also think it was expected that another RB would be brought in that summer once trippier left, not that it would take 2 years to get a decent option in Royal

[Slava]

It’s unfortunate, but it looks like Newcastle is going to have the horses to stay up. I was really hoping they’d be relegated.

[Locke]

Trippier probably saw that writing on the wall in North London and GTFO.

Now he's spent some time in Spain, getting game time and making some coin and now he's likely making bank on Tyneside.

The more detailed chart makes Man City even more ridiculous (and makes Burnley look even worse)

[Slava]

^ that really is insane on both the Burnley and City front. I guess it's working for Burnley to some extent though, as they got the draw yesterday!

[devo22]

we all knew that about Burnley, but look at Everton. Wow.

Ben Davies is not very good.

This is not, nor has ever been, a secret.

Coutinho might once again be very good.
