Not sure a loan with an obligation will sway Chelsea, they will want the fee this summer to balance their books. 30m (25 + 5) seems to be about right for Hall, I wonder if we need to shift one or two of Hayden, Hendrick and Fraser to open up a gap in our wage bill first. Although Hall wouldn’t come in on that much, I reckon this one might drag on til the final days.

Stitched again, that’s no Gelato

Feyenoord, Porto and Shaktar please

Not quite the same as a bar of sticky concentrated sugar mate, but good all the same. With clotted cream.

Refreshers were banging, 65p a bar in coop these days where I am. Long way from the 10p days of the 90s.

Ah, a man of culture

Their injury list and us filling Villa in 5-1, not to mention the performances of some our key players in that game. Weighed in our favour? Maybe a bit strong. But this is the best chance in a long time to get a result here I feel.

Call me crazy, but the current circumstances weigh heavily in our favour. Really feel we could take 3 points here, best chance for a long time. Their midfield will struggle big time with ours.

What the fuck

He’s defo been stitched up there

Wtf

As Pirlo is my favourite player ever, you can see where the comparisons to him are coming from. Exciting as fuck.

Barella who?

Unreal start for us, pure momentum from game 1

Villa squad being butchered by injuries already

Beautiful

Great to see Tonali in from the start, speaks volumes on what Howe must see in him. Gonna be a good game this.

Watkins thing might be some last minute mind games

That reveal video is bad on so many levels

Barry Fry

Enjoyable but very much the same as you’d see from other docs like all or nothing, not that we’d expect anything different. Cool to get a little inside look into some of the people behind the club though.

As always, wouldn’t read to much into what Howe says publicly about transfers. It’s usually smoke and mirrors as we’ve seen time and time again.

What times it out then?

To be fair I don’t think that’s unique to here, it’s pretty consistent across all the football forums I look at personally.
