Him getting top 4 with that Chelsea team in his first season was a terrific achievement. I have no idea why it gets overlooked. The team was a mess, no signings allowed and first season without HazardQuote:

It gets overlooked because people want him to fail.
He will go right to the very top.
Aye :) Lowery coming back in is massive. Proper promotion push now.Quote:

FSG thinking they're going to be able to moneyball their way through letting Salah leave and maybe selling Alisson is going to be funny/painful.
Wolves first win of 2025. Seems like they always get a results vs Villa and Man City. If Cunha stays until the summer and fit, they just may stay up
There was talk last night that he's close to agreeing a new 4 year deal at Wolves. I assume to insert a healthy release clause in there.
Sounds like there is a release clause active in summer of 2025. I suspect it would be about 60m
Spurs had a couple man reject them but Danso has agreed to sign with them and reject Wolves. Medical was booked with Wolves this morning.
Wolves still need a defender and a midfield player.
Good luck to Saint Marcus. He needs this move to work.

Jason Wilcox always looks like he's wearing someone else's head.
Glad Utd have signed Grogu. Looking forward to seeing the 3ft-tall green fella bewildering defenders by using telekinesis to cross it to Hojlund
Isn’t Emery a famously hard taskmaster? No idea how Rashford fits in with that.
Leon Bailey has somehow survived him so far and he comes across as a proper chancer.
He's a decent replacement for Duran in terms of kicking the ball towards the goal.
Brentford signing FM wonderkid Michael Kayode passed me by.
There's talk of Lloyd Kelly going to Juventus and Galatasaray signing Trippier. I fucking hate FSR.
Boro have signed Iheanacho and Iling-Junior. They were not on my bingo card.
Valentin Barco has left Brighton for Strasbourg. Look forward to him lining up for West London Blue next season.
Man Utd going down, with Mainoo playing number 9, would be pretty entertaining.
Mateta is a hero. Proper mid 2000s vibes about him.
Luckily for us we might just have enough to stay up. The complete lack of goal threat and physicality is depressing.
Got his shirt tucked in like he is prime R9.Quote:

Yeah, meekly stroking it wide of the post is him in a nutshell.
Tel to United on loan looks to be on.
Presumably he's thinking he'll walk in and be the undisputed starter as the 9, which seems a fairly safe bet given we resorted to false Nainoo with Hojlund and Zirkzee both sitting on the bench
Odegaard built like a POW.
Or not.Quote:

3 goals off 0.63 xG for Arsenal here. :cab:
Finding their form just in time for the semi final. :uhoh:
While this Arsenal team are not everyones cup of tea, a title challenge against them is a vastly superior prospect than the insufferable cunts in sky blue.
Has trossard always been this good? I always thought he was some bit part player but every time ive seen him. He puts in a shift.
:harold:
Why has The Balf Fraud gone out and spent another eleventy billion on defenders when it’s so obvious they don’t have any legs in midfield and that’s where they are getting killed?
Kalvin Phillips.
Turns out City aren't back.
Nice to see a 31 year old male from London notching.
Who's the lowest who can realistically make the top 5 now, Villa? Can't see Fulham doing it. So 8 teams for 5 CL spots and then a reasonable likelihood of the others taking the remaining European places.
Forest looking pretty good for CL I think.
Forest's next 4 in the league are Fulham and Newcastle away followed by Arsenal and City at home. Their top 5 fate will probably be clear after those.
Forest v Chelsea on the final day of the season.
Taking 5 off of Arsenal makes Maresca’s tactics look even more hilarious last week.
Everyone around Chelsea losing this weekend. The last remaining spot for the CL feels like a shit off every single year
5-1 is another nail in the stats nerd coffin. They'd look at 'the data' from that game and wonder how it has happened.
Just a single game. You can't make judgments on such a small sample size.
Arsenal were brilliant once City scored. Why don’t they play more front-footed like that every week? I know it’s over-simplifying it, but once they went for City’s throat they smashed them.
They want some La Masia reject from Porto apparently.Quote:

Brighton yesterday case in point, and great to see them gubbed. Same for Brentford today too.
Fair play to Arteta for being one of the first to realise you can just out-shit the nerds.
Phil Foden looked good today I thought.
Is Ruben Amorim a hairy fraud? I think that is the new question to ask.
