This is so dull

Fucking Chelsea piss me off so fucking much man

As someone who's had problems with slipped disks (probably nowhere near as bad as what Callums got), this is probably fucking awful for him. Constant pain, whatever you do, from morning to night. It made me a right grumpy bastard when it was at its worst, must be so much worse being a professional athlete and having it.

Well, it looks like Man City this year might be a bad example then considering the fixtures. But still, they would be playing someone like Crverna Zvezda, so would massively fancy their chances. And that's before we even get to who their rivals for 8th are playing that GW, it could be a pretty much given that they will win, so whatever Man City does in this fictional scenario won't even matter (another reason why everyone playing different sides is a joke). And like your point previously, the problem isn't really what Man City might do, it's why the fuck should I care whether they go all out or not to win a game that ultimately will just matter whether they play another couple of games or not; the stakes there just aren't there.

Depends so much on who they play in that last CL game and the PL games surrounding it, as well as who their rivals to finish top 8 play. If City are 10th in the CL, and play Liverpool in the next league game, the side they put out isn't much better than the one you posted IMO.

I genuinely couldn't care less about any of the CL games this week, why would anyone? Even when there was a decent upset tonight with Barcelona losing, does anyone think there's a chance that Barca won't make it through to the next round? This whole league stage is starting to feel like a bunch of glorified summer friendlies without any stakes. I hope I'm wrong, and that come the last couple of game weeks there's some excitement, but I just don't see it happening. But IMO, the top 8 battle isn't going to be that exciting, as the teams finishing 9-16 know they are still going through and most likely beat whoever they face in their stupid play off. Sure, they might not want that extra game, but Man City aren't risking a league game to not have an extra round of CL. Then the fight for the last places to get to the play off will be between a bunch of teams UEFA wants me to not care about anyway, so where the hell is the excitement supposed to come from?

I was critical of replacing ASM with Barnes, especially when we already had Gordon as a LW, so fucking thankful I know absolutely nothing about football!

Fuck fuck fuck yes

I love Schär so fucking much man

Gtfi!!!

Three subs at HT wasn't enough for you?

Because we trust Gordon more than him

I miss Trippier

Tell me more about Howe never making changes

No they are not. Tomorrow's opposition are though.

Villa will win this comfortably now

Starting to think Zirkzee is a bit shit.

Have Chelsea released their squad list now? And if so, what are the notable omissions (assuming there must be some)?

Very similar assist and finish as Kelly to Barnes the other day

Well it's the same as it was for Lascelles, he is no longer put first choice RB, so Howe has given it to someone who will start every (league) game when fit. Nothing strange about that at all.

We won't be as desperate for Guehi in January with Botman (and Lascelles) coming back then. Obviously we will still need the long term Schär replacement that Guehi would have been, but we should be able to wait until the summer if they are trying to take the piss.

Fuck that, January is bad as it is. Imagine that shit show of a month without any actual football?

As opposed to the mighty Slovenia and Slovakia?

Isak, Bruno, Botman were all incredible value at the time as well though. No one thought we overpaid for Tonali, if anything he was a massive coup. Gordon I might agree with that the perceived value was over the top, but that perceived value was clearly a load of tosh. I know I might be very biased when it comes to Isak, but remember I've watched him since he was 16, I knew he would be an incredible signing for Howe.

Tbf, that was a quality bit of play from Liverpool, who are looking annoyingly good for a side that just lost their talisman manager
