Friend of mine, she is a huge Reading fan. So I keep an eye on them. Imploding. She reckons there is some underhanded business around the land owned by the club. 
 

but it’s alarming to see..had the makings of a good season last season with a shout at one point to the playoffs but waning. Now a total disaster

I believe there will be more of these middle league clubs whose owners took advantage of the COVID-19 grants at the time, and now the results of those poor decisions are bearing fruit, or not...

Its a real pity, because clubs such Derby and Reading have had some good runs and followings.

Spurs become the first premier league team to go six full halves without a shot on target (Opta stats), to their credit go on to record a brilliant win against Man City.   Chelski’s Lukaku plays an entire 90 minutes and touches the ball just 6 times?  I’ve never seen that, even in the junior and amateur club footie I played.  Just 6 touches in 90 minutes?  The mind boggles.  It’s been a season of weird records.

Don’t think Conte wants to play European football. 
 

 

You still don’t understand Tottenham Hotspur! FC! And I still don’t understand the British Media. They will always find words to suit their narrative.

Dont get me wrong, Conte has every right to state his case the way that he did, but the media use words as implication to their own agenda.

Then you have Spurs fans who forget the names of the club owners after winning a game or few, but as soon as a match lost.... then the owners are the problem!

Anyway, if I could be critical of Conte and maybe call him out for being a bit naive.... I wonder what made him select the exact lineup that beat City 3 days ago. Remember, he is building this squad, so he should be looking at fatigue and rotating in some positions, periodically. He should be expecting some poor performances here and there, not that I think 4/5 matches lost is acceptable. But Conte has to trust his process and not be afraid to make changes. Rest Harry Kane if need be! This team beat City in the first round without Harry Kane.... He has Winks, Sanchez, Doherty, Moura... all established players who can be rotated to give the team energy after a match like Man City.
