Deuce

Just grooving. Making it look effortless.

Grateful always that Eddie’s not a bullshit merchant like so many in the game.

Was posted over in the Ashworth thread:

Cabaye

Amorim is probably still here (for now) if he doesn’t fly off the handle at that press conference at the weekend. His position was untenable at that point. He of all people shouldn’t have been hired in the first place if Ratcliffe and Co. were adamant about calling the shots on the pitch. They want a patsy just like Chelsea do.

You think ol’ Jonjo might have a bit more humility when it comes to mocking someone for a physical trait they have no control over

I think the issue is just DoFs and managers not being on the same page. There are very few managers I’d trust to have complete control over all-things-football, just as I don’t want a DoF dictating matchday functions.

I haven’t gotten the sense they have a locker room full of divas. Certainly not like the days of Lampard, Terry, Cole. Palmer maybe, but they’re mostly a bunch of kids. Rosenior’s a long-time former pro who doesn’t seem to be a dickhead. You’d think he’d be able to handle them. No clue of his tactical acumen, but he seems to have done well enough with Strasbourg. As others have noted the Chelsea job is about pure man management and not rocking the boat with ownership. They have enough natural talent in the side that just keeping them happy should be enough to compete for CL football.

True, but these people can’t help themselves

Maresca to Liverpool, Amorim to Chelsea, Slot to ManU

Felt like a “keeping up with the Joneses” move

Tuchel after the WC is a good shout

Hall-Miley midfield double-pivot hhhrnng

you go straight to HELL

Much needed clean sheet win against a good side.

‘Pirlo’ and ‘Miley’ are both 5 letters. Coincidence?

Definitely one for the pet hates thread

They just need the ultimate man manager to keep the players happy. No point in bringing in anyone with grandiose ideas.

If we’re gonna sell Wolte we should bring in Nicolas Jackson

Wasn’t Tony Mango one of the first to call a recent transfer of ours?

He’ll score 30 or so over the next two seasons and be back in the PL for double what Forest paid for him
