Nuno is like the way less successful version of Mourinho or Conte...always seems to be some drama after a couple years in charge

Well, after Nuno was berated on the sidelines last year, it can't exactly be a surprise that there is a rift there? Nuno has done a fantastic job with Forest to get them where they are. Apparently, the plan is to sack him and appoint Postecoglou...things could be interesting!

Aaron Wan Bissaka is terrible.
I'd be hauling him off the field right now.

easily the frontfrunner for the first one to be sacked. Nuno has made it interesting though.

Either way, won't be long before the Dyche bat signal is activated.

I know England were in the dumps at that time, but it's still hard to believe he really was the England manager for about 12 seconds.

Honestly they need to let Iron Maiden manage the team, surely can't be worse, and maybe they can do a show after every game to lift the fans spirits.

Potter clearly has a couple more (awful) games in him for a couple of reasons, though. First, that takes them to the international break. Second, it means the new manager bounce just in time for their cup final.
Every year, a team or two looks brutal in this opening stretch, and this has to be the year they go down. Somehow, they always manage to pull out of the nosedive and make it to safety, but West Ham looks so bad!

I don't think Nuno is the issue drama wise, Maranakis is a cancer in the prem. Even if you put aside the allegations of heroin smuggling, match fixing and political influence buying - he's a giant pig man, every few months he does something to show off how entitled, arrogant and obnoxious he is, whether it's charging down to the field to berate a manager, spitting at a ref and getting a 5 game ban, etc.

classic Spurs bottlejob set-up. 45 minutes to prove us wrong, let's go.

Spurs ownership of Man City is just one of those things you don't question, you don't try to understand, it just is what it is. And it's not like they just beat them so often, it's that they make them look so bad so often.

Masterclass by Spurs today for sure. Looked legitimately great.
Creative going forward, their press and backtracking gave City nothing, and they played City very physically too.
Always good to see Pep look so sad and pouty and City as a whole looked pretty uninspiring.

City looked uninspired, but Spurs also looked good and gave them some real problems. The midfield was solid and with some structure now, this looks like a good team. Obviously an injury or two and it all comes crashing down, so hopefully Levy gets to work here.

Well I would suppose that City looked uninspired because Spurs choked the life out of them, just outworked and outplayed them most of the match. I would also say Pep got his lineup wrong, which is funny cause for a midfield and attack that was too slanted towards attacking they really didn't offer much threat.
