โช๐ต Meanwhile, in 'Transfers That *Have* Happened, Joรฃo Palhinha's signed for Spurs.
The Premier League's best ball-winner one season, and then a lost little boy at Bayern the next, he is absolutely perfect for what Thomas Frank is doing at Tottenham

You never get a "sure thing" in football. But even at 22 years old Florian Wirtz is such a complete and talented player that he's about as close as you can get.

Last season, Thomas Frank had the 2nd lowest wage bill in the league and finished 10th. In 22/23, it was *the* lowest and he finished 9th.
Tottenham are hiring the Premier League's most adaptable manager, and it will completely change the club.

Three years ago I'd run out of enthusiasm for football... and pretty much everything else.
This is the story about how one trip to a little town in France, and the Football Manager save that followed, changed my entire life.

Forget VAR, forget "style of play", Crystal Palace had the perfect gameplan to beat Manchester City and executed it to perfection.
Oliver Glasner's team proved, again, that they don't fear anyone and deserved to win The FA Cup.

Ruben Amorim has a lot of problems at Manchester United, but the main one is just how predictable they can be with the ball.
Newcastle's 4-1 demolition *perfectly* highlighted the blueprint teams have been using to beat them for months now... and they made it look easy.

Yeah yeah yeah, they were the two best free-kicks you've ever seen in your life. But both of them only happen because of the way Arsenal systematically dismantled Madrid from back to front.

Since Arsenal vs Man City, all the talk has been about the barbed words (and gestures) of the players. But the real 'humbling' took place on the touchline.
Mikel Arteta, for the first time, systematically took a Pep Guardiola team apart.

Can you tweet something like
Unbelievable support yesterday, great effort by the lads! Hard result to take losing the first ever Barry Venison Cup to Sunderland but we go again. Howay the lads. #NUFC
"Game management" is often listed as one of Eddie Howe's big weaknesses. But last night he took off Gordon, Isak, Murphy and Willock in a tactical masterstroke that preserved their 2-0 lead. Here's how it worked so well

One of the weirdest quirks in the Premier League right now concerns Alexander Isak's finishing. He's probably the best centre-forward in the division, but at vital moments his brain can't access the fact he possesses a left foot.
He definitely does though...

This season, Southampton have given away *10* goals purely from pissing around with the ball at the back. And they're not the only ones.
"Good football" is shit, and it's getting everyone relegated.
