Chelsea’s game plan has seemed to be to worry about it next season.

3 games now where we’ve been poor against average opposition. Not much joy in watching us play right now

Come on Trippier. Reclaim your starting place.

How come the build up is not about Liverpool?

This is where I’m at. There is lots of hope of this stealth signing but we just don’t seem to have had the same energy in the market this year. I think it’s the big signing or nothing.

For all of Howe's words his actions do seem to be giving him a nudge. 2 games, unused and sub in the 89th minute. Feels like a "Stay and this is the play time you're getting" message.

Exactly. And when he posted them it was is a similar way to the quoted post. Was it real... was it mocking the ITK's... He'll claim whichever turned out closer to the truth. The press this summer have (maybe understandibly) got the hump with the ITK's. Like we all have. For whatever reason they seem to have bitten a bit more recently. Maybe they need to as ITK's are drawing better x engagement stats then they are so they are facing boss pressure.

My hatred of him has subsided since he stopped playing devils advocate for Bruce/Takeover rumours. Honestly I think he's harmless. He's probably somewhere on the spectrum /and/or he likes his wine a bit too much. I get more irritated with Hope now.

He seems to know no more than anyone in here. He's been bitten a couple times with the club (maybe deliberately) giving him stories that were "wide of the mark". Now he's posting the sort of stuff that we're all hoping. Personally this time, unfortunately, I don't think we're going to pull a rabbit out of the hat. As usual I really hope I'm wrong but something does not feel quite right to me.

With Dyer (and other injured players) they always returned with a feeling of dread. Like yeah it's a new signing... but he could well just get injured again. Touch wood an injury does not happen for Tonali but at least for the moment it really does feel like a new player without any negatives. It's even a better player than we signed if you believe the noise. At a minimum he can now speak English. Maybe he's also faster, better shot, and has drank the Howe strategy Kool-aid.

Has there ever been a more: than this?

Gordon is so far off his best.

We were so poor. Depressing thing is I expected this.

Get Toonpolls to tweet it 😉

Agree. I’d lock this. The other 19 is where it should be.

I’ve just watched that and based on that we should appeal. The force was negligible. No doubt. The rule says it’s not a sending off if the force is negligible.

That we signed no one in January either.

Second one on the trot. We've not signed a big player for 13 months and counting...

When is the left field transfer from no where coming?

To see that they are not locking themselves into staying at palace with an unrealistic amount. I agree what I said is a bit of a stretch. Something just feels off to me.

One way or another this just needs to end. I dont think we’ll sign him. Palace could just be using the bids to convince him to make his escape clause as big as possible in a new contract. A players not going to sign a new deal with an unrealistic escape clause. They can say look Newcastle were willing to pay 65million so double your salary and 65 plus a bit is realistic. They get to mess around a rival, show they fought to keep a player to their fans and get him signed up long term with bigger release clause. The week has just felt off to me. I hope I’m wrong, the noise is again that we’re confident so hopefully I am.

Just got a ticket. Trains booked. Buzzing.

The last minute psr deadline weekend dealings and the impact that could have had on shows were willing to gamble to the last minute to get what we want. Hopefully the same applies to the real transfer deadline and we do eventually see some movement.

As much as selling Minteh stung I hope we can keep getting and selling youngers like him so we can end up with a team full of Miley‘s. it feels like the only way around the current rules. Two tears of youngsters. The cattle and the ones to keep.

7 away draws in row not great for ffp either I guess.
