‘Clueless’, ‘Inept’, ‘Hasn’t got a clue’ – Some Aston Villa fans slam Dean Smith’s tactics after 2-1 loss

Report: Tottenham launch late bid to sign 22-yr-old who has been linked with Everton
Tottenham have made a move to sign the Lille defender Gabriel Magalhaes. The 22-year-old has been heavily linked with Everton and Napoli in the recent weeks.

‘Pathetic’, ‘Why tweet this’ – Some Hammers fans react to Fabianski’s bizarre post following Wolves loss
West Ham United resumed their Premier League campaign with a 2-0 defeat at the hands of Wolverhampton Wanderers at the London Stadium on Saturday. It was their 17th loss of the season, and only a superior goal difference currently separates them from the relegation zone as they are level on points with 18th-placed Bournemouth. The Hammers were poor for the majority of the game, registering only two shots on target, and none particularly troubled Wolves goalkeeper Rui Patricio. David Moyes was without injured striker Sebastian Haller and centre-back Angello Ogbonna, and the West Ham manager will hope to have the duo back for Tuesday’s derby with Tottenham Hotspur. Despite playing out a goalless draw until the 72nd minute, the visitors never stopped threatening to score, and Raul Jimenez ope...

The Southampton player was on loan at the club and he managed to impress Neil Lennon. The Celtic boss is keen on signing Forster permanently.

Barkas has done well for AEK and he could be a decent signing as well. However, Forster would be the ideal fit for Celtic. He has played for...

He is a talented young player with a lot of room to improve. Nuno is very good at nurturing young players and he could help the youngster develop into a quality defender.

A lot of Everton fans followMeis on social media as he sometimes post about the new st...
Mourinho mentions the two Spurs stars he badly needed for the last 15 mins last night
Tottenham Hotspur were held to a 1-1 draw at home yesterday by Manchester United after Bruno Fernandes’ 81st-minute penalty struck out Steven Bergwijn’s 27th-minute opener. It dealt a blow on Spurs’ top-four chances and they could find themselves outside the top-10 at the end of matchday 30. The Red Devils were the better team last night, registering more possession (61%), shots (12) and shots on target (6) than the host, and they could have left with all three points if VAR hadn’t overruled the second penalty Jon Moss awarded them. Spurs had just three shots on target out of 10 attempts, and boss Jose Mourinho was left ruing his side’s lack of attacking options on the bench. While his United counterpart Ole Gunnar Solskjaer brought on strikers Mason Greenwood and Odion Ighalo in the ...
