With the games they have left I can see them end the season on 45 points, worse then 89/90.

Condidering their form, and them now also losing their best player to injury they will have overachieved greatly if they pick up another 10 points

They have a best player? That’s a surprise. Is ratface injured ?

Antony scores again for Betis + an assist :-)

You know what the stuffy bastards are like though. There'll be the odd last minute winner now and then along with 2 or 3 teams in good form who put in a shocker against them.

Potentially on course for their first bottom half finish since the 89/90 season.

"Potentially"?

 

[Vienna_70]

Less than 40 if us and Southampton didn’t shit the bed!

And the scruffy winner against Fulham right at the start of the season.

By christ that derby result still rankles me.

Aye, shite, it's very funny.

PL places earn you approx. 3m per place this season. So, not only are they embarrassing, the low finish will hit their already brittle finances hard.

More cleaners getting sacked then!

Even better.

Got to be Jamie Jackson in the run up to the 2011 FA Cup semi….

oh fucking dear oh dear.

Edit. He bans anyone from the Gruniad who mentions the fact he’s a fanzine writer not a real journalist. But not on here you fanzine blog boy.

They'll be lucky to spend £10m without selling a good few. No-one is forming a queue are they?

Villa might buy Rashford if he drops his wages and Chelsea always like a young player! Just hope no fucker buys them let them rot

They only have one way out and it’s to offload their high wage duds to Saudi, remember they are sponsored by Saudi Telecom but keep it quiet, I wouldn’t be surprised if 3 or 4 headed to the desert for an “undisclosed fee”.

They're going to finish like 14th and qualify for Champions League via winning Europa aren't they? Anyone left in Europa that can bounce them out? We need them out of that competition ASAP.

But look at the level in the Europa: https://www.uefa.com/uefaeuropaleague/standings/

Spurs have beat them 3 times this season. A half decent coached side with energy will bury them over 2 legs. Lazio, Bilbao any German side would run through them.

 

[Blue Mist]

I think it's good of the playing staff to help the club fight the debt mountain by forgoing their win bonuses.

 

[cleavers]

Mind the gap.

15 points, 11 places.

 

[SouthStandStander]

Love this gem I've just read over on the red cafe :-)

"We clearly got the intern at City as our new CEO who did very little apart from make the teas and the coffee for Pep and Tixi!"

Rag rang up TalkShite tonight and was full on in tears over the situation...the heart bleeds

 

[bluethrunthru]

It can never be said enough - I tell my Rag relatives every time I can - its not what you spend its how you spend it

Rags could spend £72m in total on Hojland our academy costs under £10m per season to run. Rags spent £80m on a 27 year old Slabhead - we just spent less than half that on Khusanov who is 20 ..........

Agent Omar says just wait until next season, you've seen nothing yet. Btw just good my beer please.
