Just seen the pen not given for Bournemouth, that’s a pen all day long, it may start outside (doubtful) but he is fouled in the box. It’s so corrupt

The problem with sacking tent peg is their own expectations, in their minds there will be a line of people wanting to take the job and it just isnt there, its a poison chalice, a career blot, a cv stain and any decent manager wont want it and then scruffy jim will have to sell another mid level manager to them.

Alonso clearly didn't take a call from them there was that little noise about him. Potter and Southgate is currently the level of manager the gossip pages are working with. Good but not great managers would prefer Newcastle, Villa or Spurs for good reason. Chelsea looks like a better career punt and they're a basketcase too.

Peter Crouch said he was a better player than Rodri last season.

They used to have policy that 1 year rolling contracts for players over 30, even club legends like giggs I think
Now they give 5 year deals to 31 year olds at nearly 400k a week

Where is that poster about them not spending as they'd become Chelsea, not sacking managers every year as they'd become City, not celebrating top 4 as they'd become Arsenal and not going on about the past as they'd become Liverpool.

They have 100% ticked every single box now.

They have ticked literally everything they threw at us.

In fact they have gone one better and cheated FFP.

The cheating cunts.

Can you imagine the media if Pep took his toys home and walked out of a press conference?

Where did the 18 minutes added time come from ? 11 minutes first half 7 minutes second half. What happen to cause that ?

They weren't winning!

The ref had technical issues with his kit and had to leave the pitch for quite a few minutes to sort them out - he actually went back into the stand to do this which obviously took some time.
