Well we're kind of like Real Madrid.

Well his genius tactic of getting sent off worked, Mali through on penalties and he can keep himself fresh for the semi-final.

Win/Win.

Technically he's not been recalled. His loan ended. Opoku who was also on loan there picked up an injury that kept him out for a decent chunk of the season so far, so he's been given a second crack at it. Braybrooke may well yet, but he's proved that there's no need for him to be there anymore.

Although I've already said he's above our level, I actually forgot that he's already played for Liverpool and Villa this season, which is why he's being linked to a move to Charlotte. He played 1 minute for Liverpool against Newcastle which means he's shafted. Obviously Villa been taking notes from us on how to conduct transfer business.

A loan bid...

Bye Marti.

The unsponsored to save us!

Absolute shit. Thomas, shite. Then nobody marks Canon.

God, we're shit.

Everyone is convinced Silko is playing as the striker then?

Really pleased to have chosen to watch the only game with no goals. Always good.

Which absolute world beaters are we livid about not starting then? The same people that want to see the back of Winks, Faes, Vestegaard and Ayew and co are the same people pissing themselves moaning about the team selection week in week out.

Watford are on an absolute roll at the minute. This comment is bound to fall on it's arse.

He's replying to Rics post about bringing him back and seeing how he gets on with us in January. To which I've responded that it could only be in training for the reason The Doctor has pointed out.

Feel a bit for Newport to be honest.

150th Anniversary kit.

Presumably you mean see how he gets on in training, exclusively?

Above our level.

Chelsea confirm Maresca exit Chelsea have confirmed that Enzo Maresca has left the club. A statement reads: "Chelsea Football Club and Head Coach Enzo Maresca have parted company. "During his time at the Club, Enzo led the team to success in the UEFA Conference League and the FIFA Club World Cup. Those achievements will remain an important part of the Club’s recent history, and we thank him for his contributions to the Club. "With key objectives still to play for across four competitions including qualification for Champions League football, Enzo and the Club believe a change gives the team the best chance of getting the season back on track. "We wish Enzo well for the future."

He won't get a payoff if he resigns.

To be fair it's only because Villa are above them that there'd be any reasonable gripe about their league position. Nobody would have put them above Arsenal, Man City of Liverpool before a ball was kicked.

But no.

I think Maresca is trying to model himself on Conte. "Give me what I want and I will deliver, don't and I'll fxxk off". And despite doing well with us and winning some trophies at Chelsea, he's not shown he's on the level of Conte yet, and he might well be fighting a losing battle on that front.

I don't think any of us are Real fans.
