      This was going to be title “Gameweek 11:Really Don’t Give A Toss!!!” but things have changed somewhat, now Sunday can’t roll around quick enough!!

      The big game is obviously the “Ugly Sister” Derby up Norff, and we all know where the smart money is going on that one, mashing up last weeks Spuds with a very defensive counter-attacking line-up ain’t going to work this weekend and fully expect Sunday’s rags to be wondering who’s left for the YooUtd hotseat.

      But I reckon you lot are smart enough (even Buffy!) to figure the best game this weekend!!

        It’s hard to see him manage a rival banjo but it’s great to see you excited bud πŸ‘

          Potentially a good game for Conte to start with Everton are on a bad run they are still missing key players and their fans are restless. Shame it’s not one of the live games.

              If this guy can’t pull Spurs right then nobody can as matters stand at the moment. Personally I think Spurs need at least 3 or 4 top quality players first.

                Agreed Rover and no matter what the Spurs transfer budget is for January history tells us it’s very difficult to sign the players you really want in January.

                I can’t see Levy providing significant funds in both January and the Summer so it might be wiser for Conte to keep the baulk of his powder dry until the Summer.

                I agree with you though it all makes the PL even more interesting going forwards.

                    “Spurs initially broke the Conte news on social media.

                    They had tweeted a photo of Conte holding up a Tottenham shirt, but the post was quickly deleted.

                    And it appeared as though there was a clear reason for Spurs deleting the social media post as they had originally announced Conte’s arrival in Spanish.

                    The tweet read: “Bienvenido a Tottenham Hotspur, Antonio Conte.”

                    Despite the post being taken down, fans were quick to notice Tottenham’s error.

                    @ConteSZN_ tweeted: “Announcement was in Spanish!”

                    @JeaneetteJensen wrote: “No way we announced Conte in Spanish and not Italian… I can’t with this club give me strength.

                    Rival fans also mocked Tottenham for their social media mishap.” Daily Express 2/11

                    😊

                      He was the best unattached manager around at the minute

                        Is Levy secretly a Chelsea fan? He seems to have a thing about appointing ex Chelsea managers. Villas Boas, Mourinho and now Conte. I can’t imagine that ever happening with local rivals from the North. Benitez going to Everton an obvious exception but that caused all sorts of problems with the fans. It seems to just be accepted with managers going between the London clubs.

                            The amount of managers Chelsko go through the odds aren’t good on finding a manager who hasn’t suckled the Russian ruble… πŸ™‚

                                I’m probably likely to miss the early kick-off if I can’t get the time off, but I think the Manchester Derby will be of significance.

                                I don’t think Ole could afford another league defeat. In the same conversation, I think if City were to lose, it would make the title race even at this stage of the season very interesting with the potential points gap that could open.

                                  Any realistic chance YooUtd had rests on Varane, and it looks like he’s out for a bit, putting my bag of Monster Munch (Pickled Onion flavor!) on 3 points for MoneyCity.

                                  Spam Boys vs LiVARberoOol is potentailly a good one for the neutral… logic would fancy the Micky Mousers, but Spam Boys are playing pretty well at the moment… fancy a score draw there.

                                  Chelski and the Goonies should be good for 6 points between them I reckon.

                                    What are the odds on a back three of Slaphead, Bailly and Lindloff all starting?

                                    That could be fun!

                                      I see a lot of cyberweb nonsense suggesting Emery to the Bone Saw Boyz might not be happening afterall…

                                      Eddie Howe is back to being the gossipmongers choice!

                                          These are the difficulties Newcastle face their current perilous position doesn’t help.

                                          Emery would have been a good fit for Newcastle imo so it’s disappointing for them.

                                          Be interesting where Newcastle go from here what Newcastle don’t need is a series of Manager’s turning them down and they need someone in place soon for them to have a reasonable input into January transfer targets and strengthening in January will likely be very important to Newcastle maintaining their PL status.

                                            “As such, Newcastle are back to square one, following earlier approaches for the likes of Erik ten Hag and Paulo Fonseca.

                                            According to The Telegraph, though, former Bournemouth head coach Howe is now at the top of the club’s shortlist.

                                            The 43-year-old took the Cherries all the way from League Two to Premier League promotion in 2015. What’s more, he guided the side to five seasons in the top flight before their relegation back to the Championship.

                                            He left after that 2019/20 campaign, but ending his spell on the south coast on a sour note has not left a stain on his credentials.”

                                            Can’t see why Howe would turn Newcastle down if approached is he the right choice though? I guess beggars can’t be choosers and he’s got experience of keeping a Club up which is currently the key objective.
