But buying a replacement for Schar is not a priority. Again, he was outstanding last season, and he was very good again against City on Saturday. So I ask once more whats the desperation to bin him off from the XI when money can be spent on other positions that were a priority? What game was that?

Schar and Botman were outstanding last season and were part of the joint best defence in the league. Schar chipped in with quite a few assists as well. Whats the desperation to get him binned from the XI? What was so "cobbled" about a midfield three of Bruno, Joelinton and Willock whilst Longstaff was out?

Whats the detriment to the starting XI of signing Livramento? And when did we nearly lose out on a CL spot?

Were they not both designed/released as one-off kits though?

I'd have given it a 9 but 8's alright.

When did this happen?

Jamaal Lascelles can cover at RCB. Having him fill in here and there isn't the end of the world. We all know he'll be replaced eventually, we just can't replace everyone all at once.

How long did it take Man City to get where they are now?

And what if he doesn't?

Villa got £100m for Jack Grealish which means they can be a lot more lavish with their spending over the coming years with FFP. If we signed Diaby and Tonali in the same window then that'd probably be the only two players we'd sign this summer.

What other players of Tonali's calibre would you have signed given our FFP restrains?

Some interesting points.

To what extent do you believe that Anthony Gordon has the skills and knowledge to perform on the wing effectively? - Not at all - to some extent - very much so - don't know

I noticed you’ve been joining in lately too Jaqen. Welcome to the club. The cult.

Interesting isn’t it, the stuff about the Incandescent light bulb.

Someone needs to belt me as hard as they can so I grow up and stop annoying everyone.

Well you’re an ambassador for the N-O forum..

The bosses at Chelsea are panicking. They’re going, “cut back, lose some players. That’s the way forward. That’ll save us money. “ But who’s to say signing more players won’t save Chelsea money in the long run? Does a struggling salesman start turning up on a bicycle? No. He turns up in a newer car. Perception. They’ve got to trust Boehly he’s leading Chelsea into battle.

I think you’ll care when I tell you what the complaint is.

This. Why are people so irritated by such an obvious piss take?

Should have smacked him as hard as you could.

His dad is a man of simple pleasures. He doesn’t need lovely houses, beautiful women and classy restaurants. So it’s a good job he moved to Slough!

He's a piss artist if you ask me. Which you didn't.

Still fit as well? that one and the grey strip we wore when we beat Juve are some of my favourites.

Everything from 2005 onwards on that pic is a bit meh. Certainly nothing wrong with that white and green away one from 99/00.
