Probably none, but that’s more to do with the gulf. Leicester best that came up and should be doing better, but they lost their manager and main CM (who’s training with Chelsea reserves). When a top end Championship club has that happen, there’s not much hope. Forest have survived and that’s on two 36 point seasons and spending way beyond their means Been very fortunate and should now use it as a chance to establish themselves as one of the 9-15 sides where they can build a huge gap to the Championship. It’s easy to forget the talent that’s in the Championship. Only other season Gykores was playing in there. Over the coming seasons the odd side will survive that comes up, but that’ll probably be more down to the chips falling nicely. Prem money has broken the English game. Probably should have a premier league 2 and two leagues of 18, but then that would proper kill off the lower divisions so can’t see EFL clubs ever voting for something like that.

The champ the best it’s ever been IMO, just the top end sides are so far ahead of rest of league it’s broken. Then the gulf to the upper lower half of prem is huge too. Something will give in future seasons because the outlay in the championship top end is daft to chase the prem money. Stoke for example would be long folded as a club if the local bookies didn’t own them.

Remember when people were wanking over West Ham and Aston Villa transfer business in summer?

Based on their signings of Doku / Savinho / Nunes, there’s more duds then hits in their buys. So wouldn’t lose too much sleep over him going to Man City.

Diaby they miss. They got their money back straight away, but going to spend season after season (if not window after window) chasing someone to give what he gave, and in the end be worse off for it.

How many times can you reinvent the kit? Like the away one this season a copy of one years gone by, I'd rather keep forever. It's great. Kits are such a money maker for the kids, but new one every season is utterly pointless and there's only so much you can do with stripes

Potter was very good for Brighton. Moving what they were under Hughton to what he left them in was superb stuff. It's then provided the base for future managers to come in and the platform be minimum mid table. The signings and set up higher above at Brighton key to enable that. When he went to Chelsea, it was just a poor move. Batshit club, where there's no principles to their signings and even though it was better players, the team was a mess. Too many and even Maresca going to encounter that 2nd half of season after continuing the form Poch left Chelsea in. I like Potter as a coach, but I think he's again gone to a poor choice club. Who are Chelsea on a smaller scale. Scatter gun approach to signings regularly, impatient board and fans will turn if they're not onboard in first few months. Not going to be provided the time.

Next 4 key, but then that would be 9 games won in a row Have we ever done that in the Prem? May drop points in one, but 10 points minimum in next 4 feels key if we are to open up a small gap that we can manage till end of season. Be looking at 14 games left and probably 22-25 points required minimum to get top 6. Which the home games you have to back yourself in with who we got to play to get most of those points (7 games). Say it's 5 wins 2 draws, even that means just 2 away wins in the 7 minimum. Which makes the away games less daunting. Essentially for me from here on to end of season, take advantage of home form. Clean that up (8 wins/2 draws minimum in the 10 left), we get Europe.

Probably the opposite, signing some younger players who can grow and not kick up a fuss with no Europe for a season

Man City may click together, it’s Chelsea we need to focus on. We finish above them, we get top 4. Villa are the other team too, but UCL will distract them IMO.

Paid £90. In the hope it increases my future odds of finally getting a ticket through the ballot

Probably needs to reign it in a bit then and not make some stupid fouls. But easy said then done when that’s his game so got to accept it may happen

Would like to see one or two academy players start. Should be dominating and winning, so would be nice to see them alongside experienced players to see how they play. Greek / Trips, Schar, Kelly, Targett / Miley, Longstaff, Bruno / Barnes, Osula, Sanusi Then Shahar to come on at RB and Parkinson at ST if 2 up in last 15/20.

You know what you need to do Tuchel.

First half when that ball was played long to Trossard or Martinelli. Just smashed them out of the way, brought it down, shielded it, ball rolled to trick an oncoming Arsenal player, then dribbled it past two more to get the foul. Insane composure and skill.

This guy is going to deliver us our first trophy and bring home the World Cup. Absolute DON.

He’s at an elite level right now. The movement. The passing. The dribbling. The finishing. The decision making. The IMPACT.

Absolute Rolls Royce of a performance. Had fears he’d be a flimsy Italian that flops, but he’s a fucking man mountain that’s designed for the English game.

Wow. Never thought we’d win, let alone 2-0. 5-5-0 was questionable, but it just led to crosses and we had the physical height. Give Howe some more good players ffs.

Osula, you’re so shit, we’re playing with no striker.

No striker for last 15 Some bold decision this.

Longstaff nearly caught in possession again

Can’t string any passes / possession since the subs. Very bad changes.

Like if we’re sitting off for 30 mins, that feels very dumb.

They’re a bit negative the changes. Lost loads on counter it feels.
