Relegation is like pruning mate - we'll come back stronger I have no doubt ... I'll take any number of relegations and trophies over just making up the numbers each season ... where's the fun in that?
Those figures are clearly nonsense but they do have a ridiculous number of players. Always feel Chalobah fails to get the recognition he deserves. When he got back into the team in the second half of the 23-24 season he was clearly one of their better players and was pivotal to their great form (which coincided with his first team games). They immediately responded by sending him on loan to Palace as they'd bought 47 replacements. He came back into their team towards the end of the season as they improved and earned an England call up so... yeah they'll buy more defenders and look to sell him.
Got some nice cheap Rioja from last years holiday, will stick a bottle in the fridge and give it a go later. Sounds good in principle. It's definitely baking.
