This is another problem. Why do players feel the need to bypass the manager? More to the point, why do they go to Rudkin? What pull does he have, or how has he exploited his position to give off the impression that he's trustworthy to the players, or that he's in the right place to make such calls? He's out of his depth in every way. Literally no evidence to show otherwise. Too many wrong things and a downward trajectory have happened under him. If Top wants to credit (some of) the PL win to him, he has to realise the downfall is because of him, too. Not in spite of him.

Yep. The start of the exodus of leaders from our team.

Did I do okay!?

Absolutely superb.

Hoping the game doesn't move, but in any case when are tickets likely to go on sale for this game?

Can't wait to see how much the PL want to hammer Man City. Whenever that time comes...

The only other positive I can think of is that it's been done now and not closer to the end of the season where we think we may have staved off a deserved relegation only to be dumped back into the dropzone. Or if we somehow got close enough to be in the playoffs then dumped out of them with a points deduction. Least it's all done and dusted for now...

When will any breach for 24/25 be confirmed?

Got lucky. Will the club appeal? Not that I think they should. Relegation beckons.. King Power out

I doubt Begovic starts.

Skipp back is promising. Hopefully one of the 2 young newbies can hit the ground running, if not both. I suspect Lascelles may play a part. I'm resigned to Ayew starting in any case.

One can hope.

@st albans fox just read about what you posted. I thought amidst what was going on at DMU that it was linked to that! Turns out it was to do with the support of a certain Middle East area. Whilst I see the support of such an area well intentioned, swinging a sledge hammer to a Police officer is fvcking wrong on all levels. I hope that person gets sent down for a long time as it'll be richly deserved and welcome. I don't understand the thinking behind it as if it'll make them more popular or garnet more support. It's obscene.

And why would Chelsea send him here if that was the case...

GB News have to be called out on this stuff. Just spreading misinformation no end. Or they have to take accountability for it. Or both.

Or it's being talked about in Gen News thread?

That's you in charge of the pencils then. Don't fvck this up!

That's a sad one. I remember watching Big Break and he was one of the reasons why, great sense of humour amongst his trick shots.

Probably want to do their investigations without it being compromised?

And these lot want to be part of the next government (even though they fvcked up the last time they were there...) Absolute jokers.

I really hope from day one he's giving it out to the likes of Ayew, Daka, Vestergaard, Thomas, Kristiansen, Hamza, Winks etc. Properly instil the standards and discipline expected of a pro footballer. I know everyone has different priorities at various points of their careers, but there's no excuse to not put in maximum effort on the pitch and expect the best from everyone around you off the pitch. Too many passengers have stunk the place out for the past 12-24 months and it's time they were given a rocket up their arse.

So bad.

This will be given

Why are Matterface and Dixon acting like Rosenior/Chelsea are the first ones to ever leave 3 up on the halfway line from a corner. They're mesmerised by it I didn't realise I was watching ITV and they've just annoyed me with the above
