It's the same for everyone from the premier to Viet Nam first division.

I believe the days of powerful venues are gone in football. So they will beat us, yeah.

Middlesbrough, from the sheepshagging depths of the country. Who fcuking else ???

Loudspeaker announcement heard in the old days of football: if there is a doctor in the terraces would he please come to the pitch Loudspeaker announcement at the bridge today: if there is a football manager in the terraces would he please come to the pitch

Werner has his eyes fixed on the floor when infront of goalmouth. Cannot drop a shoulder. He was playing against paper thin defenses in Germany. The one who failed as CF with Chelsea but is shining now in Spain is Morata. Do you know who was the one who almost never missed chances when face to face with the goalkeeper ? Mitroglou (Olympiakos Piraeus - Fulham - Benfica). Not much of a football player but he was the one to be trusted as a scorer.

4-0 against the schoolchildren.

Maybe. But pool is close by even if they don't win it. What is Klop's secret ? Wins the premiership year after year. They are not the richest of clubs. In the transfer market we smacked them with Caicedo and Lavia, also not many seasons ago they had to unload their star player Luis Suarez to Barcelona. Early in the season I expected City to be a lot better than us. Also Arsenal, given Arteta's very succesful last season. But the rest and in particular Liverpool, no. I believed they were a spent force with Tsimikas in the starting eleven. So what is his secret ?

Arse are 2-5 points from the top. We are 14-17 from the top.

We fell asleep after the 3-0. Barkley was their best man. I don't know why we sold him - we don;t have better players.

Another bad performance. Crystal Palace very poor, that's why they lost. Maatsen did n't make it. Kept losing the ball, the equalizer came after one of his errors. Madueke was good, superb penalty.

Man. Utd - Aston Villa away win banker x Chelsea v. Crystal Palace over 10 corners.

Fact is Poch was given a certain material not world class really and some of the players are a joke but he managed absolutely nothing with it. The old man Guus we brought in 2016 after Mou's departure did better.

Nagelsmann and Kompany ?

Sterling not only failed to pass the ball but he also lost his confidence. His shot was for a training session.

Which one manager you fancy ? Klop maybe ? Never mind availability to become Chelsea manager now, just whom do you fancy and could they do something to clear this mess ? I 'm not defending any Poch, I just wonder if it is posssible.

If you ask me the letters were on the wall. Put up a good performance against City -like we did in this terrible year actually- and that was it. Tuchel did a gigantic job to lift that team but we were already on the way down.

Ok, world class centre forward. Suppose we get lucky or we actually do sign Mbappe. Not enough.

What is a WC ?

Chelsea is no longer a big club I 'm afraid. A big club in need of repair needs two-three signings. How many do we need ? 27 ?

Jackson and Mudryk are definitely useless.

Very poor defense. I never seen so many give aways. They did n't score from those but it's terrible. What is Poch doing ? Up front the usual - lost in the desert. When you can't score but keep throwing men infront, the other team will score. Like Nottingham Forest, Everton, like, like, like ...

Alright they can't win the league if you say so. But we are watching them with binos.

Unai held by Sheff. United amateurs ! Proves that energy expenditure is a factor in football and Villa were coming from two derby matches. From the bettors angle there was nothing to gain in this match. Super mini prices for Villa, one had to be bold and oppose them. But it proves the existence of this hidden law.

Ludicrous idea the super league. Just get rid of Luton-Sheffield United, other European non-competing teams and then make the stage of 16 of the CL into a championship. This will improve things without killing the EPL or the Bundesliga, or the serie A. 18 teams in Greece ? Since when ? It was the idea of the junta once upon a time so as to include a team from Cyprus (very-very weak teams back then). For Greece even 16 teams is too many.
