Chelsea haven’t breached psr yet they can sell £120m of their academy players in June Man City is way more complex than overspending. They didn’t overspend- but they likely overstated their income via excessive sponsorship deals. That’s going to be tough to prove.

Not scrapped just different

I wonder if he’ll start for Belgium at the weekend? be interesting to see if he’s as impulsive for them or if he seems to concentrate more because he doesn’t feel so ‘arrogant’ playing for his country

Momentum is a strange thing in football we had it in the crucial period in the second half before faes went walkabout again and exposed vestergaard one on one with Jackson. id say that today showed that if we get up and can recruit cleverly, then we can have a good go at staying up playing this way. Obviously having the same squad next season would not go very well with this style of play because the defence simply isn’t up to it.

So not just a boy thing then we continue to evolve …..

I’ve seen a lot worse on here didn’t seem much wrong with what he wrote ??.

Music playing whilst doing homework isn’t a new thing though - that’s more of a background thing and I can cope with that but visual screen activity - like having a tv series playing on an adjacent pc screen or iPad seems way too distracting to me

If any of you have boys at secondary school - have you noticed that they need to have something else on a screen whilst they do their homework? As if they need a distraction in order to concentrate. It does my head in because I can’t understand it. I mentioned it to a friend of mine who is a teacher and he said that this age group are so used to multi tasking with different media that just having one thing to focus on doesn’t work for them, If this chimes with any of you, have you noticed it apply to any of your daughters ?

Bugger I backed the second favourite got great odds though

Schoolboy error expecting pundits and commentators to know the laws and how they apply !

I assume our recent move to be a little more direct at times has come whilst our confidence has dropped and opposition coaches developing a better way of pressing us. (And that we’ve found ourselves chasing games). The fact that we actually managed to play quite a few passes today reflected that Chelsea often didn’t bother to press high and that the players may be a little more resilient than we think.

I think Chelsea set that trap for him - cucarella seemed to want to show him inside where they had others waiting. He’d be used to full backs trying to push him onto his right foot so he was way too happy to take the bait

Not sure what everyone expected to see from a Torquay hotel window this weekend ????

It’s perfectly in order. Ref thought Doyle had made an attempt to get to the ball so gave him a yellow because of double jeopardy pen award on denying a goal scoring opportunity. I’m sure that if it was a pen the var would have told madley to reconsider that because Doyle made no attempt to get to the ball.

Yes No attempt to play the ball and denied a goal scoring opportunity the ref gave the red after he was called by the var to review that he hadn’t given the pen.

That was a straight red

You can if no attempt to play the ball

Only @lcfcbluearmy appears to know the laws Last man with no attempt to play the ball is a red, even with a pen (see regulion for Brentford yesterday) if it’s a goal scoring opportunity I reckon if it had actually been a pen then the var would have told madley that Doyle made no attempt to play the ball and it would have been changed to a red

we need the money to avoid financial calamity I think our parachute payment next season is around £40/£50m. Almost £100m guaranteed in the prem. it’s simply not a good option for us to remain in the championship - on any basis unless you’re a fan of a long period in the second tier.

You’re blaming the ref?

Been a decent performance but do we really want to do this for another 30 mins ?

They have a lot of pace going forwards would a sending off today mean a ban for the next league game(s) ?

Interesting that he’s sticking with Jakob maybe there’s a thought that he could be saleable in the summer and great performance could be very valuable (or could be the opposite 😀)

Journos see it fifteen mins before others
