Really is a sham.

 

Errrrrm, what the fuck?!

 

Why didn’t they fire him as soon as he said that?

 

What in the actual fuck

 

Good. OT is a fucking disgrace.

 

Interested to see how hard City go after Bellingham. There has been lot of chatter that Pep will have to change his system if we bring him in. City operate on having it's front six be either pausa or direct/destructive and how those numbers shake out is on Pep but its typically 2-3 pausa players with 3-4 direct players. If Gundo and Silva leave, we really need more pausa players and Bellingham seems to be slotted by the club as a direct player.

Though it seems as players age this pausa aspect can come out more so he could become a pausa player for us.

 

nobody does islamophobia like the french

 

Alasdair Gold update on the manager search:

Names listed here: Nagelsmann, Poch, Amorim, Kompany, RDZ, Potter, Slot, Postecoglu

I'd say we can likely eliminate: RDZ (probably wants to stay with Brighton), Amorim (reportedly doesn't like Levy lol), and Kompany (likely stays with Burnley for their first season back in PL).

So that leaves 5 names, and I think it'll be one of those 5. Nagelsmann is still my top choice but fine with any of the others.

 

Wait, they appointed him last month and are already looking elsewhere?

 

Fuck everything I thought it was Thursday

 

Nope. You've still got to put up with Chelsea shithousing their way through the Champions League yet!

 

I feel like tonight’s game is going to be who can play worse and win.

 

This may be harsh, but Kepa is still shit.

 

Omg Milan are beating Napoli?

 

Chilwell sent off. Straight red DOGSO

 

Cucurella at centre back is one of those stupid fifa tactics that should have stayed on fifa

 

Insane that Mount didn’t get sent off earlier. Such a clear red card.

 

Wow. I see them getting about 6 points…

 

Are Chelsea “safe” from the drop?

 

Pretty much. 39 points, 12 above relegation.

 

Does Chillwell’s red card in CL affect his availability to play in EPL at all? Google won’t tell me but I’m likely asking the question in a dumb way

 

different competitions, so no.

 

thank you. Figured but wanted to be 100% sure before I made some EPL decisions

 

domestic cups can affect the league at times, so I get the confusion
