They turn up against us no doubt but look at the two games in context, the first one was a complete basket case of a game which they got a draw because of a daft pen silly deep into injury time, the game at our place was just quite simply us being profligate and then defending for their lives which has happened in countless games this season, chelsea are a decent side of course but so are we and they wont get near the amount of space against us that they did against everton, it will be tighter than most think but its not like we havent created against them in the games against them this season.

Worth listening to again.Just heard Stefan on talksport something about Chelsea and hotels they own dodgy dealings to avoid ffp. I didn’t catch it all tho.
First time I've heard Jordan agreeing with Stefan
Seem to think Chelsea may have found a legal loophole although maybe only temporary. Reckoned Premier league are going hoodwinked.
Jordan and Stefan were so lovey dovey, they looked like they were auditioning for a remake of brokeback mountain

I would say the game at the Etihad was also about us being profligate. I actually think we were the better team in both our games against City this season.
That doesn't mean anything for the cup semifinal though. I predicted a comfortable win for City the last time we played and I pleasantly surprised by how we played but I still think this semifinal will be a comfortably win for you guys, something like 3-1 City. I would be very surprised if we went unbeaten against you across 3 games given how wildly inconsistent we are.
you had 2 chances against city at the etihad, haaland alone missed 3 sitters, disasi had the game of his life which was pointed out by the commentators, i think it was fairly even at stamford bridge but its a stretch to say you were the better team at the etihad.I would say the game at the Etihad was also about us being profligate.

That's what I felt watching the game anyway.

How do they get all the pens they get ? Baffling

Most of them are actually pens. There have been some right iffy ones like Madueke vs United and Mudryk vs Burnley but mostly the pens we've been given are actually pens. In fact there are a few more situations I felt were stonewall pens that weren't awarded to us :)

I think the better question would be how do we get so few pens relative to our possession and time spent in opponents box…How do they get all the pens they get ? Baffling

Yes that was in my mind when i posted above , smack of us being treated differently and of course our players are more honest and would rather score than go downI think the better question would be how do we get so few pens relative to our possession and time spent in opponents box…

Listened to it all and I think every football fan should, saying 6/7 clubs could fall foul of all this FFP, Leeds could be fucked if they get promoted it’s a shit show and I don’t think anyone knows a way out of it.Worth listening to again.
