Context is everything though By the time we get to Stamford bridge the table could look quite different again re promotion and if soton isn’t rearranged midweek before the semi final then there is a clear week before the game and an int break to follow

Trumps people were trying v hard to get McConnell to back him. Will it still be necessary if he’s no longer there or is he leaving because he knows he has to endorse trump and he can’t square that circle

Well done bbc

Would you like odds on that ??

The atmpsophere there was incredible when they all sang together - made the hairs on my neck stand up! fantastic city too - must make sure to allow time to do the sights

Saw enough not to ‘write him off’ if he wants to play the winks role then he has to learn about his positioning. Being out of position meant he appeared to be late to many situations. I thought he was about five yards too far forwards. So he was often moving sideways/backwards to make a challenge rather than being able to move forwards into making one. This also didn’t help him offer a good pivot point to receive and play onwards. Coaches can work on this although I suspect it’s an issue if it doesn’t come naturally in that area of the pitch

I assume that there would be questions as to whether we would enter the Europa league if we won the competition due to heavy uefa fines for breaching their ffp regs ??? there was talk ahead of the carabao cup that Chelsea would not take up the Europa league spot if they won for those reasons

Yeah - that was

And I have no idea if the other two misses had keepers technically off their line as I wasn’t watching first 4 pens

I think enzo has done some work with him past few months earlier on in the season he didn’t look too comfortable starting higher up in midfield in amongst the hurly burly. He was excellent stepping into the area combining with winks. He’s always been good with the game ahead of him. Last few times that we’ve seen him starting in midfield he’s looked way better.

Tbf, if solanke was playing last night then the game wouldn’t have got to extra time ….

With var that would be retaken

fella needs a well earned rest this weekend outstanding

Take a bow one and all !

Hamza’s done legs gone he’s run miles

It’s basic if you’re a keeper and not in position then you have to kick it proper long

Why does vestergaard play the short goal kicks back to the keeper so he has to take a difficult touch from under his feet. Surely he can put it in front of him so he has an extra split second ?.

Is it just me that thinks Doyle is nothing like the player he was pre injury?

Raikhy’s positional pla6 is a little too far forward

Kel would be more effective dropping short than cannon is

My youngest just told me that’s there’s VAR ….. like one game too late ….

I wouldn’t argue against your ‘conspiracy ‘ point but Everton will argue that six points for one years discretion isn’t soft It’s not two points for a discretion. It’s six but the period judged is a three year rolling period. So if you transgress then you lose six points. Everton are being charge a second time but will argue that 2/3 of their punishment has already been applied against the three year rolling period. So if you break the rules then you could say that this is a license to break them again quickly and you’ll only lose 2 points the second time! For example, if forest were to lose six points and stay up, then faced with the Johnson scenario this June, they’d likely hang onto the player for the additional 20 million and take a two point sanction next season.

Kevin Maguire suggests this is v possible they are apparently basing the sanctions on efl rules which state no double jeopardy. their current six points are over a three year period so could be viewed as 2 points per season. their new rule break is only for one season so logic says they will get another 2 points. whether that means forest can appeal any deduction on the basis that they should only receive a 4 point deduction for this season (they’ve only been PL for two years) remains to be seen

I wonder if cup games count towards younus’ appearance clause ?

If we can’t get the fee for him then I think he’ll come back and enzo will make something of him. He should be ok for enzo’s 8 role. how many of you thought wilf would work there ?
