Southampton v Arsenal Sunday 25 May 4pm

I think you mean Salah in "not incompetent" mode and Haaland goal-hanging as usual. The standard is super, super low. And we managed to wriggle under that bar - that's the only thing impressive about this shitshow.

Yes, yes…all players are shit compared to in the past etc etc

“Ange Postecoglou described the season as "outstanding" in his post-match interview”



And that’s the difference between the two clubs. We finished 2nd and got to the semifinals of the CL and we are disappointed. They finished as low as it’s possible to finish without actually getting relegated but because they won the Carabao Cup of Europe they’re doing cartwheels

It’s like finishing top of the remedial class at school. Well done and everything but you’re hardly top of the school.

The shameless acceptance from them that the league didn’t matter because they fluked a cup will only spill over into next season as well.

I have suggested to a couple of Spurs supporters I know that Utd could be a cautionary tale for them. They kept Ten Hag because they blundered their way to an FA Cup and crashed and burned this season.

Well, you know, Pele, Maradona, Zidane, Messi, Ronaldo (either one), Bergkamp, Henry, and Foden... Oh wait!

Nice cherries.

Well you could go through the list of defenders and compare to the "greats" we are seeing today? Or think about the tired old wingers of the past and compare to the magic of, erm, you know... somebody! I'll give it to the keepers - they have probably maintained a standard or at least got close.

My point is you aren’t comparing like for like.
You’re cherry picking the best players from past generations - and there are plenty to choose from. And sure, most of the players of today don’t compare. But most of the players back then didn’t compare either. There were a lot of cloggers back then too.

This goes back to people noting how "amazing" certain players in the league are today, so yes, I'm comparing these alleged wizards with actual legends. Of course I'm not comparing them to any of the journeymen that existed in all eras. There are fewer "cloggers" now because the players are wrapped in cotton wool and STILL they can't cross a ball, keep a shot on target, take a bloody throw-in... and so on.
