Meanwhile Ange's Spurs keep marching on....
They did indeed. Popped along to the game last night. Awesome stadium & organisation. Absolutely fantastic.
Spurs should have won 4-0 they were that much better than Fulham. Brilliant start to the season for them.
First EPL match in a while - had forgotten how fast the game is live. You really don't get the idea of just how skilful they are through the TV.
How hard is it to get tickets to matches?

@Billy-Tell I don't think it's overly difficult. I went in on a mates ticket - 3 of them have 3 seats together (awesome seats, front row of tier 3 right on the corner flag) and they put them into the resell if they can't go.
I know a few Spurs fans and they all buy into the not making a profit on their tickets. If you want to head to a game, then let me know and I'll ask around. It will be difficult for a Europe or a top tier match (city etc) but if you want Spurs vs a middle table non London club, then it should be quite straight forwards to get you tickets at face value.

Tx! Obviously I’d never expect to get tickets for Tottenham vs Arsenal but for a less glamour fixture, if I’m ever in London I’d be keen.

Slightly off topic but I'll whack it in here. Watched the Beckham doco on Netflix.
It's basically a 4 hours of PR for him and his family. And by fuck does it work. Really engrossing story of his life and the person he is. I was in the UK for his redemption story (not the kick) and the vitriol he got before it from many angles was insane.
Found myself laughing out loud a few times - Figo is brilliant & even Gary Neville was humorous. Beckham's interplay with his wife/kids was quite funny too - the bit about the Rolls going viral is all time classic. Interesting how all the Real Madrid guys came across - was surprised to hear how much they rallied around him. Always came across to me that he wasn't quite accepted.
Really worth a watch. Fascinating thing too is the Rebecca Loos part. Even though her name was never mentioned, he certainly didn't deny it and was careful with his words. It almost came across as a confession.

Wrexham in the top 3. How does promotion relegation work in league 2?

@canefan You didn't mention it when we (Notts County) were top of the table! Top 3 plus one from the play-offs go up. Much easier to get promotion from L2 to L1 than from National League to L2.
16,000 at the game today - great to see.
To be fair I only saw the headline. Would be amazing if both of the promoted teams made a second jump together

United are really really average. City not out of 2nd gear and it’s already 2-0.

The gap between Man City and Man Utd is an enormous chasm currently.
Mind you, Tottenham, Arsenal, Liverpool and Aston Villa are all challenging Man City in the league at least for the moment.
MU are currently a mid-table team. Anyone and everyone will think they have a chance. MC strolled to victory.
-
@Billy-Tell I also don’t think Manchester United’s problems are easy to fix with one or two marquee signings. They’ve spent a fortune on a squad full of middle-of-road or past their prime players for whom mid-table is about right.

Most pundits pre-season picked both Notts County and Wrexham to go up this season - along with Stockport.

England's real golden generation. Will make anything less than silverware even more painful.
BBC recently did a poll and gave their own opinion of what a blended team of the current squad and the Beckham era 'golden generation' would look like. It was a pretty even balance with 2004 6 vs today's 5.
