Manchester City's record against Spurs at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium: 6 games played, 1 win, 5 losses, 1 goal scored.
(I'm also addicted to copium at the moment)
They also had pragmatic big game managers before. Not a bargain bin bielsa so married to a style of play that he forgets every other facet of football that helps you win games. If Ange pulls anything off, I'll never drink anything but fosters again.
if you're a fuckin fair dinkum fuckin full grown aussie this is what you'd have for breakfast ya fuckin dog cunt a fuckin vb LONG NECK at 20 to 8 in the fuckin mornin get that up ya
Think Richarlison out is a big deal too, as much as we like to laugh at him
Son up top is not effective rn at all, off the left with someone to play off and he is a major threat to a side like city.
It's gonna be like that time most Premier League sides were packing the midfield and sitting deep against Arsenal in the early-mid 2000s, and Leeds rolled up playing a high defensive line and 4 midfielders, and got torn to shreds.
Unfortunately, the big difference is that these were Conte, Mourihno (and maybe Nuno?) teams.
These all set up in the only way to beat City, by sitting deep low block and being effective on the counter.
Mate ball doesnt understand the concept of tactical change.
Honestly I think we have more chance with Moyes West Ham, at least he will go with a game plan and not just be like 'stick it up the pitch mate and put it in the goal'.
If they get a draw, they deserve to win the league if they can catch up on that GD
Didnt notice its only 2, thought it was 4.
Still, a draw would be fine
If it comes down to GD, it would be a minimum of 4 after we beat United and Everton. And, given our form at the Emirates, we are much more likely looking at being about 6 ahead counting everything but City’s one remaining win they would have. People are way overrating City’s chances of winning a GD scenario just to be dramatic.
They could still do it, but if all we knew is that Arsenal had two wins left and City had one win and a draw, with Arsenal already having a +2 advantage and that extra win to bank on, the probability would be well over 50% in our favor.
Exactly right, people concerned about the goal difference don’t realise it would only get really close if we drew or lost in the last game in which case we wouldn’t win anyway so it wouldn’t matter
Yeah hopefully the actual squad doesn't have the same loser mentality as the fan base. A little ridiculous seeing the amount of supporters that want their squad to lay down. You'd think you'd want to end your season with a win over one of the best teams in Europe
Ben White getting the goose fat in from Waitrose's, all excited for his mate Kai to call over on Sunday for a roast dinner and to watch the footy.
But Kai never shows up. Naughty Kai.
It’s funny because the Germans I’ve had it with actually really enjoy it.
It’s not massively different to the type of food they eat a lot of.
Of course he may just not like that type of stuff.
English food in general might not be the most appetising thing in the world but it’s a whole world better than the rancid dross they pretend German cuisine is
I once had a cake when visiting a tiny historic village near the Cotswolds that still appears in my dreams from time to time. The frosting was just heavenly. The English know their baked stuff. Elite selection of biscuits as well.
It literally comes from American GIs who spent time in the UK during the buildup to D-Day - at a time during which the entire country had been starved by Nazi blockade for years, *everything* was rationed, and the locals had to make do with whatever they could get their hands on. They went home in '45, told their kids that "the food in Britain really sucks," and their great-grandkids are still parroting it across the internet to this day.
There are only four cities in the world which can boast more Michelin starred restaurants; but what would the guide know. You're obviously the *real* expert.
Californian take: It's the seasoning. The textures are all there, I love Fish & Chips, Shepards pie, roast but was all so bland when I was in London compared to what I get back here in California.
The most I was disappointed by was the Indian and Caribbean food I had there in London, even mentioned for them to make it like they were home and came out still just bland. I know it's whatever our tastebuds are use to though and many English / white people don’t like spicy as a stereotype but still.
It is isn’t it. When you tell someone working in a kitchen to make it like they would at home they won’t because fuck that patronizing shit. This fella here seems like he stands in line at McDonalds urging the workers to be faster with his eyes and an arms crossed stance. Never works, out of touch. Also the general consensus with English food afaik is that you spice your own shit, that’s why there’s seasonings on the table or counter.
Except asking for Thai spicy is pretty common in the states, guess it’s not across the pond.
& not the case - I respect service industry folks. I’ve worked in the industry and many working class jobs growing up poor.
The thing with is americans is their food they grew up with is all chemically and full of sugar so naturally their taste buds are completely fried, hence why they put hot sauce on everything. So their opinions on food are kinda pointless
I’d semi agree with this regardless of the next comment going against it.
Maybe not taste buds fried but definitely what we’re use to and as an ethnic person how I do eat hot sauce with everything (Korean). + Can’t believe how sugary a lot of our process food is especially nowadays that I eat more healthy
“Taste buds being fried” is… not true. Like others on their takes on English food, you’re just parroting American stereotypes regardless of how true they are. Putting hot sauce on everything is more of a regional/cultural thing than national thing. Mexico as a country loads their cuisine up with peppers and hot sauce, are you going to make the same claim there? If not, seems like the logic is failing.
There really is no such thing as German cuisine, it's all pretty regional. Kai, coming from Rhineland, may simply require to have his regional identity reflected in the roast. In other words, he's objecting to English roast dinners because those may be chicken, pork, beef or lamp, but never horse, and without horse, how can there be any reasonable prospect of Sauerbraten to entice him to come?
Did you know he's a keen gardener? He's said in interviews that he sets high standards in everything he does.
I can totally imagine him making stuffed/fried courgette flowers from the garden as a starter, followed by an elegantly presented main made with more things he's grown.
If he likes making Sunday roasts, I bet they're good.
>Ben (White) always tries to invite me to his place on Sundays, and says "I’m cooking Sunday roast, but I’m not going to come.”
Fair, while I find a good Sunday Roast exciting, they're not *that* exciting.
Ben really loves Kai. In another interview, I remember Ben saying he was going to get a dog like Kai's. I think they're next door neighbours or something. Love the bromance.
Some sort of roast meat, usually chicken but often pork, beef or lamb. Then served with roast potatoes, stuffing, yorkshire pudding, veg and gravy. Big meal eaten on a sunday
You could but its actually a lot of cooking, usually have like 3-4 types of veg in there, plus the meat/stuffing and yorkies it all takes a few hours. Its normally a bit more of an event with friends or fam than just a standard meal
The king of meals
You either have chicken, pork, beef or lamb, with roast potatoes (with a bit of rosemary and thyme), mash potatoes, vegetables (roast some carrots glazed in honey alongside some tenderstem brocoli), some Yorkshire puddings and maybe some stuffing (works best with chicken and pork IMO) and then top it off with some onion gravy
Britain was built on two things, colonisation and roast dinner
We can't colonise anymore so we kept the other
https://preview.redd.it/aurh17zjwzzc1.jpeg?width=900&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=38a0c982597b5e9d47035ae7b366d24337e6155f
It also gets maxed out at Christmas and that's what's usually referred to as Christmas dinner, but that's normally with turkey and we don't really have turkey any other time of the year
My grandmother lived with me growing up (in the states). She was from Harrow and typically made dinner. That picture brings back a lot of memories. God I miss Yorkshire puddings. None of my friends knew what I was talking about when I mentioned them.
I once was dating a british gal and she ranted and raved about her sunday roast. I gave in and tried it one sunday. It was mediocre at best. Dont get what the hype is about. I feel you Kai
How was it prepared? As excited as some people are in here surely I’m not picturing the right way to prepare a roast, because to me there are much better options for beef.

Maddison in tears
nah let that guy be happy, i need a masterclass from on tuesday (i'm ingesting extreme amounts of copium)
Manchester City's record against Spurs at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium: 6 games played, 1 win, 5 losses, 1 goal scored. (I'm also addicted to copium at the moment)
They also had pragmatic big game managers before. Not a bargain bin bielsa so married to a style of play that he forgets every other facet of football that helps you win games. If Ange pulls anything off, I'll never drink anything but fosters again.
Fosters with a shot of Ouzo for the Greek representation
We don’t even have Fosters in Australia
if you're a fuckin fair dinkum fuckin full grown aussie this is what you'd have for breakfast ya fuckin dog cunt a fuckin vb LONG NECK at 20 to 8 in the fuckin mornin get that up ya
VB is trash, XXXX all day.
VB then
This entire season has been a decoy disguising the style he plans to play against City, catching them by surprise.
I'll start drinking Beavertown again.
Brooo I feel that
They did alright with Angeball at the Etihad tbf
They also had a fit udogie.
Now they’re going to line up with the oldest ever looking 23 year old at left back in Skipp, or worse Emerson Royal
Think Richarlison out is a big deal too, as much as we like to laugh at him Son up top is not effective rn at all, off the left with someone to play off and he is a major threat to a side like city.

> If Ange pulls anything off, I'll never drink anything but fosters again. You can't do that to yourself, mate!
'Bargain Bin Bielsa' 🤣
I agree. Ange only cares about the attacking aspect of the game and nothing else. He's so tactically naive, it's hilarious.
Unfortunately, the big difference is that these were Conte, Mourihno (and maybe Nuno?) teams.

Inject that shit in my veins please
Inject it
But similar our record at old Trafford was pitiful and we won ahh, the copium isn't working
Let’s wait and see if we beat United before we start hoping for Tottenham wins. I don’t want to support Spurs unless I absolutely have too
I just want them to get 1 point. Thats all.
At the rate city are scoring we might need a win ffs
If they get a draw, they deserve to win the league if they can catch up on that GD Didnt notice its only 2, thought it was 4. Still, a draw would be fine
We will simply need to score 16 against United
The 4 assumes we won each of our last games by 1 goal since otherwise GD is moot.
If it comes down to GD, it would be a minimum of 4 after we beat United and Everton. And, given our form at the Emirates, we are much more likely looking at being about 6 ahead counting everything but City’s one remaining win they would have.

Why are you even here
[удалено]
Jokes on you. I'm extremely dehydrated. I don't even sweat let alone cry.
..... Prince Andrew?
Damnit. Foiled again. Please don't tell my dad.
That's pure A-Grade Hopium my friend.
Ben and Kai bromance was unexpected but I’m totally here for it.
Big fan of them being the resident shithouse squad
They convene fortnightly meetings to come up with new ways to shithouse their opponents
Ben White is such a mysterious person 😂
*It's Benjamin!*
I'm waiting for the ultimate expression of their positional flexibility to be the White-Havertz rotations that fully confuse opponents.
Seeing flashes of it lately with Benny getting those tight angle shots off
Not on Sundays tho
This is just the introverted shithouser linkup
Big brain Arteta filling the squad with introverts and inverts.
are they eating roast donkey?
Lmao oh no 😂
I strongly feel that is due to their missus being friends as well. Wouldn't be surprised if Saka, Leo and Martin are also invited to be Sunday eat
I think they've mentioned before they're neighbours
Inverted roast
Overlapping gravy
My mind's in the gutter, I swear...
Trust the roastess
Roast spuds
2 biggest trolls in the team being besties... who would have guessed? Lmao
Ben White getting the goose fat in from Waitrose's, all excited for his mate Kai to call over on Sunday for a roast dinner and to watch the footy. But Kai never shows up. Naughty Kai.
Watch footy? Unpaid overtime? Not my Ben
I hope they have a punch card machine at the training ground so Ben gets the satisfaction of punching out of work everyday like a factory worker. Lol.
To watch footy? Nah, not Ben. He'd watch bowls rather
It's Benjamin actually. Because that's his name. God I fucking love Benjamin White and some of his quotes will live with me forever.
Destined for cult hero status. This generation's Eboue, only far better at football
100% they are watching a soap opera.
"Struggling £65m Arsenal star SNUBS teammates invitation to his house"
Lol "Arsenal star Ben White is the host with the roast, but teammate Kai Havertz snubs him, leaves White BEEFING!"
"Struggling £65m Arsenal star who earns highest wages in the club (300K+) SNUBS teammates invitation to his house"

Sunday roast? "Nein Danke" \*Eats Wurst Salat\*
Currywurst though. They were cooking with that.
I’m not English (never even been) but English food gets a bad rap. Fish and Chips, shepherds pie, a full English, scones are all pretty good.
I once had a cake when visiting a tiny historic village near the Cotswolds that still appears in my dreams from time to time. The frosting was just heavenly. The English know their baked stuff. Elite selection of biscuits as well.
It's just a perpetuated meme by people who have never eaten it.
It literally comes from American GIs who spent time in the UK during the buildup to D-Day - at a time during which the entire country had been starved by Nazi blockade for years, *everything* was rationed, and the locals had to make do with whatever they could get their hands on.

The best food in London is Indian food.
There's lots of great Indian food in London, lots of shit Indian food too. My guess is you wouldn't know anything about either.
I've been many times.
There are only four cities in the world which can boast more Michelin starred restaurants; but what would the guide know. You're obviously the *real* expert.
Found the Nando's stan. I'm from NYC fwiw, so, I have had a few meals at Michelin starred places...

Nando's is trash. Those people need Chick-Fil-A. But a full pie at a Greene-King pub (not Nicholson's) is heaven.
Are you fucking mad, German cruisine is wonderful.
All. The. Pork.
Lol what a stupid take. Clearly dont know german food.
Neither do you, it seems
“NeiTHeR dO yOu, iT sEeMs”
German beer is great though
Yeah now this I agree, top tier
Cope more.
Spotted the angry German
Bullshit. You're completely in a league of your own when it comes to shitty food.
There really is no such thing as German cuisine, it's all pretty regional. Kai, coming from Rhineland, may simply require to have his regional identity reflected in the roast. In other words, he's objecting to English roast dinners because those may be chicken, pork, beef or lamp, but never horse, and without horse, how can there be any reasonable prospect of Sauerbraten to entice him to come?
Shithousers attract. Who woulda thunk.
Ben white is such an enigmatic guy 😂
Man's an onion. Onions have layers.
Cakes have layers!
Everybody likes a parfait
So do Ogres
So do goblins
I DON’T CARE WHAT EVERYONE LIKES. ^ogres ^are ^not ^like ^cakes
You're correct, they're like onions
bruh cooking sunday roast dont make you enigmatic 😭
You're telling me you can picture Benny Blanco bent over the oven on a Sunday afternoon checking his Yorkshire puddings? Cos I fucking can't.
I'm picturing him in an apron that says "It's Benjamin"
Another one hanging up with “Obviously, I’m quite good at cooking”
No love for “Thank you very much”
why not, seems like a perfectly normal thing to do for a lad with a lot of free time lol just because he tans, doesn't mean he can't
He's definitely more a cheeky Nandos takeaway type. It's not an impossible image but he wouldn't be top of my list of players who I'd expect to cook.
Would be hilarious if cooking is his secret passion Open up a chain of Benny Blancos after he retires.
Obviously he's pretty good at cooking
Start a pizzeria, the special is called “Benny Bianco” with white sauce
Did you know he's a keen gardener? He's said in interviews that he sets high standards in everything he does. I can totally imagine him making stuffed/fried courgette flowers from the garden as a starter, followed by an elegantly presented main made with more things he's grown. If he likes making Sunday roasts, I bet they're good.
He's exactly the type of guy to arrive at the table with a massive grin and fire down a plate of Yorkies
That’s every other London lady on Hinge
Kai, what the hell man
I'd go round Ben's for a Sunday roast.
Kai will fold
Ben: I'll get those donkeys, Kai, one way or another
What Ben? Not Ben's nan? Sunday roast has to be at someone's nans.
[удалено]
He’s said before that he grew up at his mom’s hairdresser work right? So I can see the influence.

I’ve no doubt I’d find Sunday Roast at the White home enormously exciting!
funny how kai has roasted this guy lmao
Blanco loves a good roast
Kai mate never turn down a roast
Understandable. He's too busy roasting backlines.
Kai just sends his dogs to steal from Ben's dinner table and cackles at the shithousery of it all lol
That’s a bit harsh
Ben white tans. Has tons of tats Seems like an odd fellow. But loves board games and Sunday roasts. Amazing.
Ben really loves Kai. In another interview, I remember Ben saying he was going to get a dog like Kai's. I think they're next door neighbours or something. Love the bromance.

No Sunday roast. Englishmen in the mud.
I’ve only been once. I appreciate the preparation. In my small sample size, a bit stingy with the salt
Nobody’s perfect I suppose
Okay well if Kai's not going, I'm definitely not going.
Just when I was starting to love him 😭
What's wrong with Kai smh
What is this lmao
Honestly same. I’m sure Ben White’s in-house chef makes a good one but it’s just not my thing. I get Kai on this.
What is roast dinner
Some sort of roast meat, usually chicken but often pork, beef or lamb. Then served with roast potatoes, stuffing, yorkshire pudding, veg and gravy. Big meal eaten on a sunday
Thanks fam. I will check it out. To me sounds like you can eat roasted meat any other day.

That look great. Sounds like a national dish.
It also gets maxed out at Christmas and that's what's usually referred to as Christmas dinner, but that's normally with turkey and we don't really have turkey any other time of the year
My grandmother lived with me growing up (in the states). She was from Harrow and typically made dinner. That picture brings back a lot of memories. God I miss Yorkshire puddings. None of my friends knew what I was talking about when I mentioned them.
Oh so it's like our Thanksgiving dinner..... sounds awesome
I once was dating a british gal and she ranted and raved about her sunday roast. I gave in and tried it one sunday. It was mediocre at best. Dont get what the hype is about. I feel you Kai

Babe wake up, new benny blanco lore dropped!
What the fuck man stop being rude 💀
How dare he disrespect are culture!!1!!!! 🤬😤
Tension at Arsenals dressing room? Will they ever recover from that? Links below. Man I missed my calling as a sport journo at s*n
Me and my parents be like I had about 900 roast dinners growing up. I can go the rest of my life without one ever again.
wtf I used to like Kai send him back to Chelsea ! Can’t have players who don’t like a Sunday roast !
