We'll never know what effect the Lockdown/pandemic had on the league this season. A lot of clubs had better away than home records. The matches were spread about at different times and days. Rival teams didn't play their games at the same time, creating different pressures. It's affected everyone, not just us. Would we have been higher or lower in a normal season :dunno:

That is true. Even so, the table has a sickeningly familiar look about it today, pandemic or not. Let's hope there's a twist in the ending this time though.

Tuchel is right up there in the league of Klopp for talking utter self sympathy seeking shite. 
 

Reckons Chelsea have a disadvantage having to play away last day with fans. 
 

YOU HAD FANS ON TUESDAY YOU MUPPET 

Yep, he's lost the plot the last week or so. Heard some stuff that apparently he's not an easy guy to work with from a board perspective so imagine that's the kind of thing that also causes issues and friction with players a few years down the line.

Man City did drop down to the 3rd Div in 1998 and have had 25 seasons in Div 2.

Chelsea like many teams bounced around Div 1 & 2, winning the league in the mid 50's, the odd cup until the Russian money came in and ruined English football.

There are really only two giants of modern day football in England - Liverpool and Man Utd 

 

this is purely down to their ‘historic global fan base’ which grew massively in the second half of the twentieth century 

 

behind them sit Arsenal with a ‘rich’ 20th C history across many decades which was pushed into more global significance when Wenger arrived 

 

then a gap to chelsea 

 

And finally Man City (whose financial size is purely down to them being owned by an oil rich country and gerrymandering their accounts) and Spurs who are a strange mish mash of the five above them in terms of history and financial hocus pocus …..

Friend of a friend tried rubbing it in that we were likely missing out on CL (He's a Liverpool fan) and genuinely couldn't seem to understand that I'd be happy with an FA cup win and a Europa spot. 

We live in different worlds, that's the thing.

 

The Champions League is the be all and end all for some. Not for me. A great bonus if we get there but any sort of European football is fine.

Got a few Man City mates, all 40+, and all good lads, they all keep their Div2 / Div3 years (and various other calamities) in mind and don't go batshiit crazy if things don't go exactly to plan.

Maybe younger fans are bred on a diet of Champions league being a holy grail.

I just want to enjoy the few highlights and sparkling moments in amongst the dross we've served up over the past 40 years.

Tbf he looks like a bit of a prikk, just from his constant smacked-arse face.

Pretty much agree with that. 

Champions League would be great, only because we could attract better players & keep the likes of Tielemans, N'didi etc. I'm not actually too fussed  otherwise though.

Cant stand him. Normally I like foreign managers when they first come over. Klopp was pretty entertaining at first and even Mourinho when he was first at Chelsea then over time they both became massive bell ends. It only taken Tuchel a few months to turn into a moaning bell end!

I've seen a lot of this online too. It's honestly so sad. I feel so sorry for them. It's like they've sold their soul or something. I said this when we won the league and I still think the same applies - they'll never, ever understand what winning the league or the cup means to us. I pity them.

Any glory-grabbers from Leics. old enough to have seen our journey over the last 10 years or so have really mugged themselves off, haven't they?

 

Even if they see sense, it's too late now. Seeing your local team yo-yo around the divisions and then lift the PL trophy against all the odds was the most incredible thing any fan of any sport could ever dream of witnessing, and they've deprived themselves of that. And for what? There's nothing a greedy 6 club could do that could come close.

Knew it was too good to be true. Why did I expect fan groups to be involved. It was always going to be like this 

Such a shame. I was on an FSF zoom call about this a few weeks ago and everyone felt really positive about it.

I can imagine there was real positivity about what could be and how this could change critical things. But it's apparent that won't be the case, what do any of them know about the normal match going fan?

Nothing. That's why they're on there, really. 

 

Got to ring fence the perks at the top whilst paying lip service to the money that makes it possible from the fans.
