I don’t want to go off topic

Chelsea are pure scum with their dealings and their players are ****s

Are they just smart?

and FFP is a joke which is getting the disdain it deserves due to how weak it is. A reflection of the governing bodies that came up with it imo.
 
They appear dumb to me. With those spends they have got to achieve 1/2 EPL and 1/2 CL from hereon-in. If they achieve that it is still going to be pretty hollow.

It’s more the conduct of the dealings, ‘Chelsea and Benfica management nearly came to blows in transfer dealing’, Rui Costa has berated the player too. Mudryk with his n-word song.

but they had Terry, Cole, etc so not surprising.

In other news are we allowed to sell a ticket? I’ve come down with a ****ty virus (much worse than what my wife has :p) and can’t make City game.

happy to sell at face value to a long timer via ticket share.

Smart enough to realise that some new "creative accounting"
methods would be get out of the balance sheet mess they are
in on this front.

However perhaps too stupid to realise that others would
not immediately see it (Nemesis appears to have - and her
current response seems to be : let's see how they get around
it with no CL revenue next season ... ) .

What a ridiculous dive.
Gueye holds his arm out and Saka places his face on it, then goes down. <doh>
 
Almost unrecognisable Everton first half performance. Dyche will be well pleased with that.
Don't expect them to hold out, but they should be ahead at the break.
 
Showing just how much football is in the heads of the players.
Similar can be said for hmplanted in the heads of players

IIRC that's something Harry Redknapp said shortly after taking over, how he had to basically deprogram so much of Ramos' tactics and combinations out of the players - which I'm pretty sure is what Ryan Mason was also having to do when he was in charge

Also goes to show that Fat Frank should never be allowed near the management of a football club ever again but some chump of a director will employ him
Edit : was going to say unless it was hotdogs and pies sales but on second thoughts......
 
Pickford booked for timewasting. Really mild stuff to get that, considering what we've seen at times.
