23, 22, 25, 24, 26, 23, 24, 25, 23, 23, 23

The ages of that starting side tonight. Going to get so much better…

 

Even the celebrations are not as good as ours...

 

Thought Maresca was a bizarre appointment at the time like but top 4 and now a trophy (I mean was harder to not win it but still), cant knock that from him.

BTW what were Man City thinking with letting Palmer go, such a ridiculous decision. For such a well ran operation over the past few years, they got complacent when it came to getting their top older players ready to be replaced. Now its like they are doing it in one swoop which is a lot harder, Palmer was already there waiting in the wings. Strange decision.

 

If I was Gaston or what ever his name is that attempted to play right back first half, I'd keep my head down, get my medal and pretend I didn't play the first half

 

Must've been prepared by Chris Wilder's Spanish cousin

 

FFP sale was it not? I know they don't exactly abide by the rules but I seem to recall that being the major reason

 

That’s right. He also wanted more playing time and Guardiola couldn’t guarantee it

 

Palmer and Alvarez for me. Obviously got some massive money but 2 players that would dominate for years. They let Morgan Rogers go too didn't they.

 

Ah that would make a bit more sense. Still though ****e planning and they've lost a gem there. Crazy when you think how perfect he would fit in to how they play.

 

Palmer looks overjoyed

 

He’s done well for Atletico too. Class player

 

That was a weird interview

 

Thick as a whale sarnie Cole like.

 

Yep. Thats what you're up against in the Prem. Then you've got Chelsea hoarding all the u20s across the world they can find. Changes they could make second half man, just totally overpowered them. Felt for Betis.

 

Aye. Insane bags of talent.

 

I do expect Chelsea to go far in the Club World Cup

 

Who's that on comms ****ing himself into oblivion over this young plucky Chelsea team? Going there own way and being so great?

They have spent over a billion pound, bought 136 young players sacked 2 managers and have 48 players out on loan.

What a brilliant way to go, other teams should follow this

 

Joe Cole? Sure it is.

 

Whens that starting? My lass isnt going to be happy when that gets put on the tele. Told her theres only the CL final left now for two months.
