Back to Pickford????? Fucking he’ll man

Fucking head the ball anywhere else

Shite

If that is off, then this extremely harsh

Jesus wept is Walker capable of tracking a runner?

Yes lad!

Gordon gave a bad interview though, so Garif won’t put him on

Amazing isn’t it? Nearly three decades on, no cunt wants them there, yet on they toot and bang

Getting taken to pieces here. No reaction from the bench.

‘More of the same lads, just more sleepy’ ’no bother gaffer’

Fucking hell wake up you soppy twats

Walker following the ball not the man

Somehow felt inevitable. Completely asleep

Would’ve taken 0-0 at HT before the game tbh. Not exactly a cracking game but as long as it stays like that you never know

Coming up to 6am - ‘luckily’ for me the dogs wake me up just before 5am every day, so not too bad!

*shot on target klaxon*

Settle doon

The wind-ups don’t really work when the relative status of the clubs is where it is. It has a tragi-comedy air of desperation to it all. When we do it atm it will absolutely sting, because they know it is true - they’re fucked, they’re bitter, and they’re lying only to themselves. When they do it to us - well, we know the previous sentence applies there too

I honestly thought it was tongue-in-cheek but I’m now worried that it wasn’t

Apropos of nowt, Kyril Louis-Dreyfus was a Marseille fan

Weren't we linked with him during the first post-takeover window?

I think the fact that PCP hasn't actually paid for its share (it was given via a loan from the Reubens) would mean that they may not be in a position to pay for even that reduced stake. And if PIF are serious, even if they paid up for those shares they may have ended up diluted to a ludicrous degree. It does seem like Staveley has some cash flow problems coming up, and while she is wealthier than me, she's nowhere near wealthy enough to start chucking money at a small stake in a football club. This day was always on the near horizon - PCP will have been comfortably reimbursed for minimal risk. It doesn't stop Staveley returning to the club as a supporter if she wants. But the club now has experienced and respected football administrators onboard. Her place in the club's history is secure - her role in getting Ashley out should never be underestimated by anyone; I've always scratched my head about it, but she was the only person in that position who seemed to understand what the club's potential was and used her contacts to find a buyer (which as we know took her years of effort to get over the line). But she is a deal-maker, not a football club chair

Nothing hilarious about any of this to me. This is precisely why Chelsea were one of the clubs who pushed for these rules in the first place - they have the means of exploiting the loopholes. The other members of the Sky Six would be in a similar boat. The rules were implemented by these clubs knowing full well they’d never suffer under them.

Is this confirmed? Hadn’t seen who they sold their shares to (likely I missed it)

This shite started with the World Cup - Italy got to the World Cup Final in 1994 despite finishing third out of four in the group stage. 82-94 were 24-team tournaments, and 86-94 had the ‘best third place teams’ shite
