Chelsea are fucking wild.

Tottenham have suspended Yves Bissouma for Monday's game after footage emerged appearing to show the midfielder inhaling laughing gas.

I was thinking yesterday that if Howe where to get the England job, Poch would be the only manager available that I'd have wanted. If that where to happen, I have no idea who I'd want us to go do for, it feels like we're in this weird transition between managerial generations.

That's a quality appointment like. Fair play to them.

Can you class Chelsea's transfer strategy as strengthening? They have so many players now they don't have enough seats in their changing room Leicester fans also didn't overly like Maresca, and I can see that blowing up if they have a dodgy start. Man United have strengthened, but their are still question marks of them, they don't necessarily have the fire power to match other teams, and again if they have a poor start, their manager will get sacked causing a Mini crisis. Aston Villa are going to have the same issue we had last season, admittedly I class their manager as elite, but I wouldn't be surprised if they drop a few places due to the sheer amount of games they'll be playing. Liverpool, they have a Klopp shaped hole they need to fill, and we've seen on numerous occasions how hard it is for someone to replace a club legend be that Moyes replacing Fergie, or Emery replacing Wenger, so their are question marks around them. Tottenham had a really poor end to the season last year, and their tactics and high line got exposed by every half decent team the played, it doesn't seem like they've rectified that. Personally it also feels like Ange is match box ready to blow. This isn't to say I do or don't think we'll finish top 5, more that there are a fair few clubs that also have questions that need answers, so it's quite hard to predict who finished were at this point. We definitely have a chance though.

He's going to come on against Spurs and score a screamer I reckon.

Obviously doing the South draw first.

Bump

Fun game this, it's now 2-1 after 9 minutes. The Hull keeper just dropped an absolute clanger.

Wednesday just scored a lovely goal after 24 seconds.

Got Guler and Endrick on the bench too.

He had a half decent season in that RW position during Howe's first half season, and scored the crucial goal against Everton. Plus, we had Jeff Hendrick on our books until recently.

Phil McNulty has us ninth: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/cdrlyg088r5o I do think people are massively overblowing how "Turbulent" our summer was.

Clinic in how to keep the ball when ahead here from Preston.

2-0 down.

Nope, I've not really looked into it since my last post tbh, I mainly use the web version on PC anyway so it's not a major issue. It is annoying though.

Steve Bruce likes this.

He was involved in the home one like.

It took me way to look to realise that the "Matty" Longstaff was shouting to was his brother

That is a very tidy kit like, regardless of the nostalgia bait, its such a nice kit. I actually love the collar too.

That advert is quality like. The home kit release video and that one has had the perfect tone in each of them
