Bolton wobbling again. Interesting that if they go, and all games against them become null and void, the table will be

Norwich 75 GD- 25
Leeds 70 GD- 23
Sheffield 68 GD- 24
West Brom 67 GD- 24

West Brom would be right back in it!

Just pathetic again. It's at Wembley, which has the facilities, and it's the biggest game in league football.

That is worse than using VAR in some cup games, but not others. In the same round.

Either put it into use, or don't. Every now and again is so unfair, and so embarrassingly amateur.

Steve Sidwell comments on Fulham's relegation:

Signing 12 players would have been demoralising for the existing players. The squad needed strengthening but not to that extent.

They did not name a consecutive back four in the first 10 games and as a result they have been all over the place.

The players who got them into the Premier League deserved a crack at it but they did not get the chance.
 
Really annoyed they have gone for Man City Vs Cardiff for Sky, and not Spurs first game in the new stadium!

In good news.

Foden makes his first ever Man City league start.
Hudson-Odoi makes his first ever Chelsea league start.

FINALLY!

Josh starting for Cardiff at the Etihad.
 
Rumour Control -
Players are not happy at Huddersfield.
Big Sam to WBA!! <yikes>
But Pritchard was so desperate to leave us to play for such a massive Club like Huddersfield in the Premiership!

What's changed!? He can't suddenly be unhappy now! He must be being paid a fortune. Premiership, Massive club like Huddersfield. He must be set for life. Financially and Professionally. Pritchard can't be one of the unhappy group.

I know you're being sarcastic but I don't think it's the club, it was just the change to play in the Premier League which every player in lower leagues want. Huddersfield gave him that opportunity, I don't blame him for that and like they say, there's no loyalty in football any more.

Very short sighted of him.

Was it really though? I'm sure he believed that he with his team mates would have a good chance of staying up. They at least on face value seemed to invest a bit and invest some wisely. (Mooy and in his opinion him) Not only was he getting to play PL, but he would have hoped to impress and maybe put his hand up for one of the bigboys to snap him up.
Couple that with how turd we were and basically a one man team to that point under Farke, our deminishing budget, I can't blame him for taking the chance. I was disappointed to see him go especially so soon after coming back from injury, but I think you or I in his shoes at a club that we do not have any great offiliation to, accepting they are our current employers, would move on for on paper and then reality, bigger and better things. I still think he would very probably have gone in the summer anyway. Whether that was to Huddersfield or someone similarly in the bottom half, that would generally have been his then ceiling.

Bah!

I don't think he's stood out from what I've seen of Huddersfield this season.

I agree, but he wouldn't have believed that was gonna be the case. He will have been thinking he was going to kick on and impress and show Spuds what a mistake they had made.

Bah!
I think if a lower Premiership team went for him, it would be a punt, and based on how he performed at Norwich.

I think a Bournemouth, Burnley, Palace, Southampton, Newcastle type move would work for him. It's whether they can afford to take the punt. Huddersfield would want more than they bought him for.

I think he'll be playing Championship football next season.

Can't see him fetching that sort of money again. Hasn't played many games this season, has he, and one league goal hasn't exactly helped Huddersfield's cause. Certainly wouldn't want him back here.

I think he's the sort of player that needs the right system and if he found that he would be a great creative influence, A desperate struggle at the bottom and bit part probably not so much.

Bah!

I'd say Huddersfield probably needed a bit of creative influence. He clearly wasn't up to it.

To be fair Huddersfield had a pretty good first season, but losing their manager didn't help them and went downhill from there. I just hope we can keep hold of Webber so the same thing don't happen to us.

He at least had 2 seasons in the Premier League and would have been paid more than he would have with us, so I doubt he has any regrets. But I doubt he will get any offers from any premier clubs now.
