So Alves can't have a bad day? Jog on......

Barnes was 21 when he was at West Brom, and already had 40 leagues games under his belt.

No sure he's going to start over Mavididi just yet, who is a good championship winger. But he's ability to play both sides should see him get plenty of minutes.

Thomas marked Salah out a game once, so his not a world beater?

Not sure, Cardiff fans not overly impressed with taking him off.

Things change, people priorities change.

You do realises they can't swap what days these event happened on? What do you want them to do lump on the misery?

Only hope is we can off land him to Saudi.

Feel for Lyon, done by a couple of dodgy decisions.

The PL called for arbitration, why would we enter into arbitration when we won the appeal, there is no logical reason for the club to do so. The statement claim from the PL about arbitration, is about them saving face nothing will come of it We will see, I'm pretty sanguine about it. Never said it was, I was just stating there is precedent of them dealing with things before teams return.

Forest are going to finish 7th.

Sheffield United were punished and given sanctioned by the EFL with a 2 point deduction for the start of the EFL 24/25 season when they were still a PL club The EFL could have already started procedings once the appeals panel agreed with our arguments we weren't a PL club at the time of the offence. Why wait?

You can't amend rules and apply the retrospectively, it would never stand up in court. The 22/23 breach is done dusted.

Would like to see PSG win it.

At least we aren't one of the worst offenders at paying the hangers on, agent fees per club Feb 2024 - Feb 2025

Not a chance he's here for the first game of the season. They didn't keep Dean Smith after relegation who made a decent effort of sorting out Rodgers mess.

Enzo was announced as Chelsea manager on the 3rd of June, after around a week of negotiations. Vestergaard extension was announced the 7th of June, now I will give you maybe maybe Enzo encouraged the club. Ndidi wasn't announce until 12th of July, not sure you can blame him for that one. Winks and Mavididi both good signing did the job they were meant to do get us out of the Championship, and both have enough to be PL players under a decent coach. Coady I will give you.

Walks into our side.

You could say the same about the likes of Maddison and Tielemans. You don't realise what you have until its gone.

Still better then Cooper and RVN.

So painful watching Barnes play for Newcastle, should have been a LCFC legend.

I think people underestimate the impact of losing Enzo and the possibility of a points deduction. Losing Enzo put us on the back foot. The points deduction looming would have reduced our ability to attract both managers and players. Not a chance we sign, Skipp, BCDR and Ayew, Edouard with Enzo at the helm.

I had an Italian flag when Enzo was in charge with no fire certificate, had no end of trouble getting it into away ends.

Think Nigel is happy enjoying life.

Live table has Chelsea on 54, win give them 56. Forest on 57.
