If they points deduct, 20th could be there for some time 
Too many draws.
Those numbers are quite appalling for the bottom 3 of that. Just over 1 in 4 games won.
No wonder they’ve not competed.
Feels like all 24 of Chelsea’s draws have been against us.
Peter Drury has been announced as Sky’s replacement for Tyler. Hopefully this means he’s not able to do the US commentary as I find his preplanned “poetic” response to moments awful.
Don’t mind Drury.
Shame Arlo White went to LIV.
Same as every year for me. We do our homework, bring in the right players and we will be able to compete with City for the title unless too many injuries fuck us up.
Pep tends to work with small squads and they’ve been very lucky with injuries in the last two years. Expecting him to ride his luck again.
As for all the other big teams I simply don’t care who they sign. Under normal circumstances they won’t be able to keep up.
At least two out of Arteta, Poch, ETH and Howe will be sacked during next season.
Of course they have all the money they need, but some of these losses they are experiencing now in the context of how small an effective squad they finished the season with is a big risk
They had 17 established senior outfield players last season, plus Gomez and their kids like Lewis and Palmer. From that they have lost Cancelo and now Gundogan. They look like they will face questions about losing Mahrez, Silva, Phillips and Walker. Maybe Laporte as well. Even if those only half of those that is a big summer they’re going to need to replace them and transitioning at City is not always easy even for expensive players.
Fingers crossed
“Lucky.”
Probably because every time an opponent even looks at a City player, a free kick is awarded.
It’s almost certainly even more nefarious than that, unfortunately.
Its funny that suggesting things like that are instantly written off as nonsense conspiracy theories when we are talking about the ethical standards of a manager who is a known drug cheat, who former club’s doctors raised concerns about his use of the Catalunyan doctor he sends his injured players to and owned by a sportswashing nation state.
Nothing to see here.
Oh and of course one of his at-the-time players was stupid enough to post pictures of himself at the “drip doctor” in Spain which landed him an 18 month doping ban. No idea where he got the idea to go there though.
New training regimen. All the players will be issued sleeping mats for the afternoon naps guaranteed by his contract.
Eternal Roy!
…and his team talks :0)
It is virtually impossible to get thrown off that gravy train.
You’d have to be busted with kiddie pics or something.
Or be a foreigner.
Haha. Tsk, tsk. Don’t you mean “alternatively nationed”?
For me it’s a bad move on both their parts.
-
For Palace, who’s the fireman next spring if Roy is struggling? Should leave Roy in cottonwool for the end of the campaign.

For Roy. He’s got the statue bought and paid for. Why risk tarnishing it?
Bob Bradley just got fired by Toronto so should be available if they want an experienced set of hands
