    Premier League 2023/2024

    We need (as a club) to be making a fuck of a lot more noise about this shit.

    Match Threads Liverpool vs Spurs

    It’s weird, this is the least stressed/bothered I’ve been in a while. Before, I’d have been chewing fingers to stumps wanting to get EL over conference and putting points on the board, especially after the home game. But life has battered me a bit recently, and in football terms we’ve become a...

    Manager Watch: Ange Postecoglou

    I kinda wish our season was inverted… current form at the start of the season, start of the season from for the run in… then it would really feel like things were beginning to come together, ideas clicking into place etc.

    Match Threads Chelsea vs Spurs

    I don’t mind losing when you go for it, like the game at our place. I detest losing when we go 90 with a supposedly attacking new reality and don’t even force the keeper into an actual save.

    Manager Watch: Ange Postecoglou

    On game 10 I never would have imagined I’d be thinking there was any chance he wouldn’t be here for years to come - it was such an incredible start. What was it, 26p out of a possible 30, such a distortion of what I’d expected with the talk about there being ups and downs with Ange…but to have...

    Match Threads Spurs vs Arsenal

    Been saying to a friend, I actually don’t understand the rules of the game anymore. Used to. Not so much these days. Makes me feel like a dinosaur, but I don’t understand how White, who is absolutely active because he pushes Vic onto the back foot and is directly in front of him also doesn’t get...

    Premier League 2023/2024

    See, I just think it was funny watching Chelsea celebrate like they’d won the league with the last kick knowing it was getting called back because that challenge was always getting called back. 2-2 was great, stops Villa getting too far ahead 7p, 3 more played) and keeps Chelsea in their place...

    Let's All Laugh At... Let's all laugh at Chelsea thread

    Yep my old man has been a Chelsea fan since the 50s. He took me as a kid to see a game there around 1979/80 and I swear there were maybe a couple of thousand in the crowd, all on one side of the stadium and me and my best mate did sprint practices around the stone terrace behind the goal because...

    Premier League 2023/2024

    That’s how I read it, but I think some counts as extra ordinary loss, like paying off Lerner, so no idea if they can be deducted from the 115m over 3 years figure… but it feels like they have to sell for sure

    Premier League 2023/2024

    Hmm Aston Villa reported a financial loss of £69 million for the financial year ending May 31, 2019. This loss included a £30 million bonus payment to former owner Randy Lerner upon the club's return to the Premier League, along with "exceptional promotion-related costs" of £45.8 million. The...

    Darren Bent: I played under ruthless manager – his brutal training demands left player in hospital on a drip

    Haha he’s married to one of the Real Housewives, so he keeps popping up in parties, in the kitchen making drinks, palling around with his best mate Boy George, etc, it’s seriously weird. I will say, having seen way more of it than I’d want when my wife’s doing her Sunday morning marathons… I’ve...

    Darren Bent: I played under ruthless manager – his brutal training demands left player in hospital on a drip

    My missus is addicted to Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, and PK as they all refer to him comes across as an utter prick whenever I see him… talk about the Dark Ages.

    Mauricio Pochettino

    That started during Poch's final season, but they made a decision (I assume to protect him to a degree as things were unravelling) that it would start with Jose taking over.

    Dele Alli at Everton

    Sure, but players go through dips and as I remember he was getting 'distracted' with esports and all that stuff, so you can't help but wonder at the difference the father figure being there to help him find his way out of all of that and not being there made. Maybe it's my memory adding details...

    Let's All Laugh At... Let's all laugh at Chelsea thread

    I have a suspicion a certain amount of amnesty was promised in terms of past crimes but the actual 'hand-binding' that is going to get them in trouble is on the new guys with their 12 players on 8 year contracts, etc. I had this conversation with my old man at the time - he's a Chelsea fan -...
