I am sure that England's top 4 are straight into the group stage; new rules from next season. Pipe and slippers are in order. ☺

Unless Citeh and Arsenal both win the CL/EL...then 4th place gets the Europa

Unless the rules have changed again,

i'm not so sure how you come to that conclusion.

Yeah, just checking it. Definitely read about the issue not long ago (in L'pool Echo so as it's Mirror Group it could have been wrong!)....Looks like it was!

The only way 4th could lose out on CL was if 2 EPL teams outside the top 4 won the. CL and Europa. Not possible now

We are the best club in London , it feels a  bit weird but I can get used to it. Better luck next year Chelsea, with a new manager .

I wonder how many top players will be clamouring to join the roman empire in the summer with the prospect of Thursday or no European football.

 

Hilarious really.

C/sea have been in the same sitiuation before,and we know what happen there

C/sea always  pay their players above the going rate, which is any players goal so perhaps a further wage incentive will take of your nonsense

Hilarious no way ,you are the fluffing clown  BTW Spuds are not over the line yet for C/L qualification

This is how thick you really  are

Since Roman took over the reins,C/sea have been the most sucessful club in England,     Loser Levy ,  Spuds  2 decade tenure  2 league cups

Spuds  EPL performances, are no better then the season before, if any a tad short, but here you are gloating about C/sea present  demise  simply on one nice win in 28 yrs at The Bridge and a possible C/L position, ,  its planks like you who have not the mental  courage to look at their own performances, before slagging off C/sea diabolical season, E/S could see this night mare coming back in Sept (approx)     Yes   C/sea are at cross roads for a multitude of very good reasons, but we have been there before during Romans Rule ,and if you had, any nounce, wait to see if we pile up at this present cross road,then fire away,  in summing up you are one big thick plank on C/sea,s  present demise , no sound  footbal knowledge whats so ever ,just a big mug of a comedian on the Footy Forum  and thats wearing thin

 

[carmine]

Did E/S try to tamper with the match ball at half time?  

[carmine]

Interesting that the usual suspects are not mentioning anything about Kane since we won all our games without him and banged in a load of goals!!!  interesting that no ones commented on Davinson Sanchez's performance in relation to Toby's continued absence!!  If Pep had actually done his homework regards Kane injuries he wouldn't have sounded such a dick with his Harry Kane team comment

 

Probably about time to continue the "all your players will be leaving" chestnut.....

Sanchez with a great game save for that one whiff. Seriously.

 

Why don't you give it up about Pep Carms. You're starting to look as bad as some of the posters you criticize.

Alright i will, just thought i'd given him too much praise recently!!

 

Sanchez is eight years younger than Toby, not as good as him yet but will be a seriously good player.  His seamless adjustment to the EPL at such a young age and his maturity is very impressive.  Its also given Poch the option to offload Toby in the summer for a bundle of cash which wouldn't have been an option six months ago.  Thing with Toby is his age compared to Sanchez.  Still think a match fit Alderweiraldis possibly the best center back in the league mind but at the end of the day he hasn't played a league game since last october and we can do without him.

 

Vertonghen so far is my Spurs player of the season.

Edited April 3, 2018 by carmine

[jellydog]

Yeah, Sanchez is a big talent, no question about it.

 

The thing that gets me going about Toby is that there is clearly something going on other than his injury issues. And I agree that he wants a big contract, and Spurs don't want to pay up to keep him when they are set with Sanchez and Vertonghen. Fair play to both sides, but if there wasn't some sort of off pitch dispute/issue Toby would certainly be on the bench.

 

And with that I will end my what the <deleted> is going on with Toby posts.

I don't think Poch feels Toby would currently be a positive influence in the dressing room.  I don't think Poch wants Rose either.  And its an open secret were trying to sign young Sessignon from Fulham.

Crikey jd you must be getting a bit dense in your old age and bb must be rubbing off on you, you've already asked a similar question on saturday and Sots gave the following answer : 

Poch doesn't want to replace Toby for Sanchez in that formation 

cos Sanchez is the future & Toby is likely to be leaving at the end of the season.

If you were in Sanchez's shoes how would you feel being replaced

by someone who isn't committed to the long term?

Simples Alf. If I was Pochy and I thought having Toby available would help the team I wouldn't give a shit what Sanchez thought. I think Sots got that wrong, and I would wager that Carmine got it right in his opinion that Pochy might see Toby as a distraction in the dressing room.

 

Pochy has made it his business to instill a "one for all and all for one mentality" in the squad and it seems Toby is no longer in that group. Same same for Rose it seems. Can't say that I blame Pochy. His philosophy has worked wonders so far.

I see none of the usual muppets have mentioned lately how we wasted the Bale money
