Not miserable at all, I figured out long ago not to let a nothing club like Spurs impact my mood, as long as Levy is in charge.

And the fanbase is by far the weakest, dumbest, most delusional fan base out there. Just a pathetic group of losers the lot of them. Awful, awful scum.

It’s a million times more exciting and promising than it was a year ago! There’s a sense of optimism and belief in the future that we haven’t seen since 2015. And yet, the guy who has a username from this very club is loathe to admit it.

LOL read this garbage and try to tell me our fans aren't weak ass bitches.

First of all, I think Klopp is awesome both as a manager and every time I've seen a non-game interview with him he seems like an awesome guy.

I definitely understand that the pressure gets to him. He is 100% all-in all the time and when the weight of that pressure becomes heavy he tends to bitch about nonsense.

I get it and he rightly should be called out for stuff like that, and while I understand the pressure, thats only fair.

But you gotta give your manager a chance. Postmayaangelou or whatever his name is seems to be doing alright with fairly limited resources.

Besides...we're talking about a 27-year-old Timo Werner on a loan deal with no condition to buy. They're basically stumping up his wages whatever those are and probably a nominal fee for a 6-month loan.

This is as 'low risk' of a move as it gets which is pretty much what defines a smart move in the January transfer window, what more do you want from Postmichaelangelo?

[Bagor]

I agree with Spurs.

Ooohh, it's costing nothing therefore it's a no risk when there's a very real risk based on form that he contributes nothing and is nothing more than a warm body.

Asides from the low cost I don't get the point of these moves.

[Locke]

You're losing Son, Richarlison is unreliable...they need someone to put "Ball into Net."

Also, lets all be honest, the competition here is Top 4. We all know that City is likely to get De Bruyne back and go on a tear.

English teams (*cough* United *cough*) crapped the bed in Europe so the coefficient is awful. So there are 3 spots up for grabs.

City? A Top 4 lock.
Arsenal? Who knows...they're wobbly.
Villa? They could likely drop.
Liverpool? Losing key players to AFCON and their form hasnt been stellar.
West Ham? Dark horse sure.

And who else is out there to buy? Hell...if nothing else, Spurs getting a loan for Werner keeps him off Arsenal's roster.

Top 4 this year is still an actual race, Spurs just have to keep themselves within touching distance until after AFCON and the Asian Cup.

I mean, other than going and buying Mbappe or something, what does anyone expect them to do?

In retrospect it was a really inopportune moment to let Harry Kane leave.

Frankly, I think the Werner loan is a shrewd move. He just might fit. (I hope he doesnt but ya never know).

Jordan Henderson wants to leave Saudi Arabia after only six months and is keen to return to the Premier League or elsewhere in Europe.

The England midfielder moved to Steven Gerrard’s Al-Ettifaq from Liverpool in the summer, but has had difficulties settling in the Middle East. The 33-year-old was Al-Ettifaq’s statement signing and neither Gerrard, nor the club, will want to lose Henderson even if they are aware of the issues that have arisen since a £10 million transfer.

Henderson has found the drop in standard and low crowds in the Saudi Pro League a difficult adjustment and is hoping clubs at home — and abroad — will be alerted over a potential loan move in the first instance.

I guess he completed his mission of bringing awareness of LBGT issues to the area!

What? He had to know this. He went there for money.

As much as I love and respect Hendo for his time, he's 33, there isnt a lineup of clubs just waiting to sign him.

you are a monster for suggesting something like this. The man said it was not money-motivated at all and he wanted to bring positive change, remember?

The grass was too wet and the wind too windy are the comments that to me make him look like an absolute clown.

Werner to Arsenal would be a dream come true. I would be totally ok if we paid all the fees, even above asking price and then gave him to Arsenal to play for them. That would be a brilliant transfer.

I remember. I just hate that crap.

He's too old for EPL action at the top level. I'd have had more respect for him (and I do respect him) if he'd just been honest. He went for the cash.

The example I always bring up is Adam Sandler.

He was once asked why he does crappy comedies despite him actually having real acting talent and he responded:

"They're dead easy and I get paid a ton."

Hey. Thats fine. At least he was honest about it.

I'd do easy wor for a lot of money too. I cant blame the guy for that. Same with Hendo and most of the guys who went to Saudi. You went for the money. Its a short career.

Just dont try and BS me that its for 'Humanitarian reasons' or some other such BS. You went for the money. Theres nothing wrong with that.

Yeah, yeah....blah, blah, blah.

I know he comes up with lame excuses but its always Post-Game when he's wound up. The guy lives the game.

I still wouldnt trade him for any other manager in the world.

Tough to see anything topping this for goal of the competition.

Tough half for Liverpool. Arsenal definitely had the better of the play in that first half.

Don't worry, Arsenal can't score

Pretty much the only thing that saved us.

Arsenal's pressing is pretty good. They're up for it.

We need a bit of magic. Sucks that VVD is ill.

[Locke]

Yes. Jota.

Gakpo has been invisible.

[Locke]

Arsenal fans can go visit Rwanda....I'll pass.

I had Rwandan refugees as neighbours for a couple years.

Thanks but 'No Thanks.'

[Senator Clay Davis]

Surely this thing will be wide open now to the end, neither team wants a replay.

[Senator Clay Davis]

The comedy world owes us a front line of Jackson and Nunez. #### would be iconic.
