Let the shithousing commence

Body language of the Chelsea players couldn't actually be any worse Not one of them subs look even remotely interested in getting involved in this tonight

If that's at the other end they use VAR to give it. No question

Wood and Longstaff off, Wilson and ASM on please. It's the obvious swap but I want to see it early enough for it to work, no point doing it on 75 mins when we're 1 down or something like that

Looks excellent, thanks for sorting it

Need Big Joe to put in a huge reducer on Gallagher in the first 5 mins to make sure he shits himself for the next 85. Likewise Botman smashing that dirty cunt Havertz early on. Hit them hard and they'll wilt imo

Cool What are the general thoughts on doing the same again? Pros and cons?

Did we create a thread for each group for the last few tournaments? Kept all of the posts for each game in each group in the same individual thread? Or did I imagine all of that?

Bet we draw City (A)

Narrator - it did

£70m just to keep things ticking over from day to day. No the wonder they're absolutely furious, they'd have to sell Zi-Dan Neill AND the Loch Ness Drogba to raise that much.

These fuckers are genuinely hilarious atm. Some of the shite they're coming out with on rtg is unbelievably high quality - it's rage, frustration, desperation and desolation all the way Some of them are saying that they should be asking for £30m MINIMUM for Stewart. Just wiki him Go on, wiki him and then read the thread. Have a look at his career so far and try to reconcile it with a £30m MINIMUM transfer fee They're absolutely class

Yeah but will Emery stare down the Everton fans? No. Exactly. Stevie G doesn't back down, he doubles down.

Wonder if they get the whole "be careful what you wish for" condescending horseshit from the media and pundits?

And it's even more incredible to think of what's happened when you consider the utter shambles he walked into. Bruce had fucking mangled the squad, destroyed the organisation, morale was at an all-time low and there was zero belief or confidence in the entire club. From staring relegation in the face to legitimately dreaming of CL in 12 months. Yes, the money has helped but the transformation is so massive that to hang it all on "yeah, but they spent loads" is glib and dim-witted as fuck.

Classic example of listening to and accepting the opinions of moronic pundits who churn out the same old bullshit tropes come what may. He'll learn. Maybe.

Love it man. Flying under the radar and having no expectations, just enjoying the ride without any pressure, it's magic

Bonus of that table is that we still have the benefit of having to play Man U, Spurs, Brighton and Liverpool at home having already played them away. The only match I'm kind of writing off from now til May is City (A). Every other match is a decent opportunity for at least a point, even Arsenal (A)

Remember his little tantrum over the cancelled covid game last season? The furious little cretin

Something not right at Spurs, they all look sick as fuck and totally demoralised. They're not working hard enough and are easy to play against atm. They've got a quality squad and some excellent players but it's currently broken and I'm not sure Conte looks like he knows how to start fixing it.

Projected top 8 according to 538

Show off

Absolutely love what we've transformed into under Howe. Good bunch of lads, good characters - no arseholes, players of quality in a few key positions, the system that works like a well-oiled machine, organisation, creativity, hard work and camaraderie. It's a fantastic mix and it'll get better and better and better in the next few years, this is only the start

If we get the next one we'll end up with 4

Let me guess - Southampton are fucking shit and making the Mags look good. Again
