Assuming Man city win tomorrow night both them and Arsenal are still 11 points off of our total in 15/16 with 5 games to go. With the money spent on both squads that's pretty mad. Now maybe the strength of the league is better nowadays but the teams at the top aren't anything special imo

It could be that the teams in the middle are stronger than they used to be. The likes of Brighton, Bournemouth and Brentford are no push over even for the top sides.

I get it, I also want them relegated but to be honest I think Spurs would be funnier. Unfortunately we aren't in any position to laugh at Forest regardless.

Agree. It’s between West Ham and Spurs now.

Karren Brady stepping down from West Ham, that just leaves David Sullivan of the dildo bros now.

Rudkin will see this news and be on the phone to Aiyawatt recommending her as the missing piece of the puzzle the club's boardroom needs, I'm sure of it

I hate it when people say "the league was rubbish when Leicester won it" as if it's any better now. The only time the league has been better, and had more quality, was when Manchester City were neck and neck with Liverpool (twice Liverpool finished with 90+ points yet finished 2nd). The year after we won it, when Chelsea won it, they lost 5 games (all big games - Liverpool H, Liverpool A, Man Utd A, Arsenal A, Spurs A). They weren't better than us. Pep's team and Klopp's team I can concede too.

 

Also consider going into the game away at Manchester City, in February, they were about 3 points behind us. Neutrals forget how close they were at that stage.

 

Also apologies earlier in the season for our debates about Arsenal. I will concede now  I thought they were a great team but I was wrong!

It's okay, I'm just a visionary

 

In all seriousness though I never saw this kind fall off happening. I just find them too robotic and instruction heavy

Surely she would be a massive improvement on what we've got.

This Rosenior guy has no clue about football. Who on earth planted this useless person into the sport as a manager? 

[Trent Steel]

Assigning LTJ bukem as their manager was a move that has hugely backfired

[Torquay Gunner]

Well that was a 3-0 rout, not a shot on target for Chelsea and they equal a 104 yr record of losses without scoring.

He was offering no excuses tonight but speaking out against the players will probably get him sacked anyway.

[MC Prussian]

Seems like that Chelsea job came a little bit prematurely, after all...

Ligue 1 to the Premier League is quite the step-up.

Jesus christ he's still ****ing doing that?

 

I've had him on ignore for months. Brother is thick as ****ing pigshit. 

 

Almost every elite coach in the world has their team, including keeper, play out from the back yet Year Of The Dunning-Kruger Effect here thinks he knows better than them all because he's too dim to watch a goal and recognise it's happened because a move started at the back.

 

If I was that thick I'd be far too embarrassed to actively advertise it every week. Respect the self-confidence at least

 

Poetic really what with Begovic tonight 🥴

Liam Rosenior's time at Chelsea is over after just four months; Head coach had been given a six-year contract in January to replace Enzo Maresca but leaves the Blues seventh in the Premier League and unlikely to qualify for the Champions League; Chelsea have FA Cup semi on Sunday

[CWC1983]

Lampard for the 3rd time? 

[MC Prussian]

So, it's official: Liam Rosenior is another poor manager. And Chelsea were utterly stupid to appoint him in the first place.

 

Recent league results were appalling. Guy was clearly out of his league, literally.

Surely that’s Iraola’s then?

Apparently his family want to go back to Spain and I think the Bilbao job (or one of them) is his if he wants it

[RowlattsFox]

Chelsea make Top look like he knows how to run a football club.

Yet they can keep doing it.

Now would be the absolutely funniest time for him to go there again.

 

Go on Frank. Go before the end of the season.

You can check my posts and a few others here when he was appointed. Ofc I was the most harsh calling him a fraud and totally useless but I was right. 

Football is nowadays full of these "planted" people who have no clue about the sport. There is a certain network promoting and giving jobs to all these fraudsters in all positions. 

Fans pay the price literally and metaphorically.

You mean they're allowed by the Mafia. If it was a smaller team it would have been vanished with 1000pts deduction.
