I don't feel sorry for Liverpool. They proved tonight they have no ambition, so no, I don't have any sympathy for them. They gave up their ambition to be a force in Europe and decided to sign Lovren and let him take a penalty. They have a choice as a club, they don't have to let Lovren take a penalty. Maybe their objectives have changed. That's the way it works. They were after a certain type of player - unfortunately for them that player was Dejan Lovren.

The stupid thing is so many clubs like Spurs and Liverpool are obsessed by Europe. They field weakened teams in the Europa to try and qualify for the Champions League, a competition they have no chance of winning. It all seems so ****ing pointless. We've seen how far behind the English teams are in recent days. I just hope if we qualify for the Europa league that we try to win it, even if our league form suffers.

I thought Spurs played a weakened side due to them actually being in a cup final on Sunday???

And won.

They didn't win tonight though, first team they've faced who are half decent. The point I'm trying to make is too many English sides are obsessed with league games to try and requalify for CL or EL, yet don't try their hardest to win once they get in the competition. Everton have been poor in the league, but I admire Martinez for playing full strength sides in the Europa.

Exactly. They have a cup final on Sunday. Which is miles more important than the last 32 of the Europa league game.

I'd have preferred both teams to stay in Europe to be honest.

 

It looks as if ourselves, Spurs, Man Utd, Liverpool and Arsenal all have a clear run to the end of the season without any European distractions. Could have done with 1 or 2 having mid-week games...

This is garbage.

 

Liverpool played Besiktas last week and this week, and still did us at the weekend.

I have seriously disliked Chelsea for many many years. I used to get top level hospitality invites for several seasons, including prime CL games, through the previous Chief Exec. These eventually dried up when they realised I was supporting whoever they were playing... Add in the fact that my ex-wife, who lapped up the hospitality of course, is a Chelsea fan these days having been up and down the country supporting Saints prior to becoming a cheating money grabbing *****. Well suited indeed.

 

So, to today, and despite all of the above, it has absolutely made my weekend a lot better to see Mopo achieve his 3rd defeat in 7 days and come away with nothing. **** you Mopo. That is all

Good talent playing in the wrong league. I think he'd do well in Spain or Italy, but it will difficult to sell him properly in the summer (even with a year left on his deal) given what he earns.

Why does it feel sooooooooo good when Pochettino loses? Don't you just love that sulky, sour-puss look on his face when he is suddenly reminded that he really isn't the best manager to have strutted his stuff in the PL as he imagines in his dreams.

 

Nice one Jose and what a great celebration too. Ouch! How much did that suit cost you?

Waight

 

this thread is embarrassing as is this post. Move on people and stop going on about people who are not here anymore. I mean bigging up a Chelsea win because they beat MP. Really?

Of course they would have cheered Gerrard if he had returned for Chelsea when in his prime, having thrown his rattle around to get the move

 

Yep. At least lallanas family didn't get death threats when he said he wanted to leave. Gerrard would have been out of scouseland long ago if he'd had any choice in the matter, I sometimes wonder how thick/uninformed the players so keen to join them must be.

Bet you laughed when Lovren missed though!

 

of course, he deserved it.

 

But think it's gone on long enough now. Most of them have gone on to bigger clubs, despite what was said earlier in the season! Anyway, it just comes across all bitter now.

This wouldn't happen while waiting at the lights on Mountbatten Way. Might put his Mrs off from staying there and him too. Oh what could have been for him. Rather than be a **** of the highest order everywhere he goes, he could have had a nice settled life here. Hope he's not back after the loan spell.

She seems to be a bit of a disaster waiting to happen really, didn't she have some sort of minor troubles in Southampton as well? Perhaps it's not the same one though.

Just watching QPR vs Spurs on MotD.

 

Is there a luckier team in the league than Spurs? QPR were by far the better side, especially in the first half, if the highlights are anything to go by.

 

Kane took his goals very well though
