Theres a whole thread on a meltdown about our head of recuirtment leaving, yet there is also some people who think the window was that bad that Redmond would improve the squad. 

Redmond or Moi, it's a clear no brainer. And I hated it when Redmond started! He wouldn't just improve the squad at the moment he'd improve the team. Sad state of affairs.

Bit of a worry when you look at the table, a few sides who people expected to be in the mix have already got 4-6 points more than us and of the bottom 3 Wolves and especially Leicester have got the players to end up well out of the relegation battle.

Our game vs Bournemouth already looks huge - they could be 11 points ahead of us after we play them, or we could be a point ahead of them...massive couple of games coming up.

We can always dream but we are clearly the worst team in the league at the moment and nothing will change if we continue with Adams as a lone striker.  We would struggle to compete in the Championship at present.  

We wouldn't struggle in the Championship. Adams and A.Armstrong would rip that league to shreds, they're just nowhere near Premier League standard.

Nothing will change with Ralph as manager.

There’s no point, at this stage of the season, worrying about good and bad results for the teams around us. Whatever goes on in the other games, somewhere around 40 points almost always guarantees safety, come May. Worrying about Leicester, Wolves and Palace 10 games into the season is like raking custard up hill.

To have stopped us going into the bottom three. Which we are now. Oh joy. 

1. Youve wanted Ralph gone for months if not years so surely this helps your cause. You've greeted each defeat this season with that kind of response so I don't get the crocodile tears today when we haven't even played ourselves.

2. We're in the bottom 3 now because we've lost four in a row. Wolves have played one more than us. Let's see where we are when we've played the same amount tomorrow. Hint: if we are in the bottom 3 still you'll be in your fucking element.

3. Who gives a shit right now. Its October. In 29 games and 6 months time, how many people are going to pinpoint Wolves beating Forest at home as the fatal blow to our season? No one. It's utterly irrelevant.

Fuck me there's some saps on this forum, but you're the best one, so well done you.

Bournemouth smashing it 😢

Gonna get turned over by then mid week.

Both teams not afraid to attack and have a real go. You get rewarded with more wins if you play that way. We play not to lose which would be OK if we got draws and a few counter attack wins out of it but we don't, we get beat 1-0.

The problem is we have been a mentally weak team for years.

The manager doesn’t know his best team/best formation, best players. “Supposedly” has fallen out with many of them, which would make sense the way he freezes people out for no real reason.

Our form is underwhelming, Bournemouth clearly not afraid to attack. I think we are now, we’re scared of losing and that has made us divert from our strength which was attacking to defending - which we’re poor at. And we don’t have a spine in the team, midfield we get walked over nowadays. 😅🤷🏻‍♂️

At least they’re losing now, albeit a classic Spurs pen.

I’m out at the moment so…was it a dive? Did Son plummet to the ground? Did the wind blow Kane over?

Looked as though Kane smashed his thigh into Pickford's head and threw himself down.

God knows how some on here would react if something really important happened to them or their loved ones.

What an odd take. I'm pretty sure most people can separate passion for a football team from impactful life events.

He has the vision of Stevie Wonder on a football pitch, twice that game he could have squared it to have an easy shot at goal and he’s not seen it 

That time when they were 3 on 1 and he completely naused it up, then right at the end when he went through looked like he fell over his own feet, absolutely awful

Another goal fest tonight and now qualified with 2 games to go. 4-2 v Ajax return

Napoli won again today in a great game, beat Bologna 3-2. Serie A could be a great league to follow this season much more open than the other top leagues in Europe. Napoli top, Atalanta second then AC Milan. Juventus 8th. Roma could go 4th above Lazio tomorrow, they’re away to Sampdoria who are bottom
