  5. that Derby side in 2007-08 was the worst toplight English team in my life Derby were officially relegated on 29 March 2008 after their 2–2 home draw with fellow strugglers Fulham and Birmingham City's 3–1 victory over Manchester City left them 19 points away from safety with only 6 games left. This made Derby the first club in Premiership history to be relegated in March, the earliest team to be relegated in terms of date, and the first since Sheffield United in 1975-76 to go down from the top flight from that month, at the time only the second time it had ever happened in post-war English Football league history, before Huddersfield Town were relegated in March 2019. They also accumulated the league's lowest points total since the introduction of 3 points for a win with just 11 points, as well as the record for the fewest wins in a Premier League season with just one victory in 38 games; also most defeats (29), fewest goals scored (20), most goals conceded in a 38-game season (89); the latter record has since been broken by Sheffield United (2023–24).
  6. if we win both we basically are guaranteed CL no way Villa can make up our +14 (or more) GD over them in two games we are +12 now if we win each of the last 2 games by 1 goal we are then plus +14 so Villa would have to win by an average of 7 goals each in their last 2 games to draw even on GD (and they would pip us on more goals scored, unless we have crazy wins, like 5 4 and then 4 5 or so
  7. big blow to Strasbourg's CL hopes last games
  8. UK-US trade deal 'isn't worth the paper it's written on', Nobel Prize-winning economist tells Sky News The UK's "first-of-its-kind" deal with the US includes reduced tariffs for key industries such as British steel, but American economist Joseph Stiglitz has told Sky News why he "wouldn't see it as an achievement". https://news.sky.com/story/uk-us-trade-deal-isnt-worth-the-paper-its-written-on-says-nobel-prize-winning-economist-13365655 A Nobel Prize-winning economist has told Sky News the recently announced UK-US trade deal "isn't worth the paper it's written on". Sir Keir Starmer and Donald Trump announced the "first-of-a-kind" agreement with a live, televised phone call earlier this week - and the British prime minister hailed the deal as one that will save thousands of jobs in the UK. But leading economist Joseph Stiglitz has told Sunday Morning with Trevor Phillips he "wouldn't view [the deal] as a great achievement". "Any agreement with Trump isn't worth the paper it's written on," he said, pointing out the president signed deals with Canada and Mexico during his first term - only to slap them with hiked tariffs within days of returning to the White House this year. "I would view it as playing into Trump's strategy," he said. "His strategy is divide and conquer, go after the weakest countries, and sort of put the stronger countries in the back." The scramble to secure a UK-US trade deal was sparked by Mr Trump's 'Liberation Day' announcement last month, which saw the president hike import tariffs for multiple countries and subsequently send global markets crashing. China initially faced tariffs of 34% and when Beijing hit the US with retaliatory rates, a trade war quickly ensued. The US and China now impose tariffs of above 100% on each other, but representatives from the two countries have this weekend met for high-stakes negotiations. With its response to Mr Trump, Beijing "made it very clear that the US is very dependent on China in so many ways," Mr Stiglitz said. "So they're beginning now to negotiate, but from a position of strength." Asked if he thinks the UK should have focused on its relationship with the EU instead of the US, Mr Stiglitz said: "Very much so. "My view is that if you had worked with the EU to get a good deal, you could have done better than what you've done. "If it turns out, in the end, when you work it all out, Trump is unhappy, he'll run. If he's unhappy, I pray for you."
  9. FA rule means player will now miss the start of next season after what happened in Newcastle 2-0 Chelsea https://tbrfootball.com/fa-rule-means-player-will-now-miss-the-start-of-next-season-after-what-happened-in-newcastle-2-0-Chelsea/ Nicolas Jackson truly let Chelsea down during the 2-0 defeat at Newcastle on Sunday. The Senegal international charged into Sven Botman with his elbow in the 35th minute, leaving John Brooks with no choice but to show the striker a straight red card after VAR advised him to take another look on the screen. It means the Chelsea No.15 will miss the final two Premier League games of the 2024/25 campaign – including a crucial clash against Nottingham Forest – something Enzo Maresca will surely be very disappointed about. However, a straight red card results in a suspension for three games, leaving many to wonder whether the ban for Nicolas Jackson carries over into next season. Nicolas Jackson ban does carry over into the 2025/26 campaign Unfortunately for the man born in Djibonker, he will have to serve the third and final match of his ban next season. The FA (Football Association) do not wipe the slate clean once a campaign comes to an end, meaning Jackson will be unavailable for selection in Chelsea’s first game of the 2025/26 Premier League campaign.
