    The all important run-ins for 6th spot:

    Newcastle: Crystal Palace, Sheff Utd, Burnley, Brighton, Man Utd, Brentford
    West Ham: Fulham, Crystal Palace, Liverpool, Chelsea, Luton, Man City
    Man Utd: Sheff Utd, Burnley, Crystal Palace, Arsenal, Newcastle, Brighton

    I was going to completely write United out of Europe but West Ham's fixtures look quite iffy.

    That game against Liverpool is slated to be a 12:30 kick off right now. Though in a weird situation, should Arsenal beat Bayern, that will move to a Sunday game instead.

    Liverpool season should capitulate from here. Palace tomorrow, Atalanta Thursday, Fulham Sunday, Everton Wednesday and then West Ham 12:30 Saturday. They're all away games after Palace too.

    It seems Chelsea being desperate to comply with FFP have sold some hotels near the club ground, to the tune of £75m and have used this in their finances to attempt to balance the books with it.

    Not only is that lol, but they sold it to essentially themselves.

    Of all the Chelsea football finance lolz, and after all is football finance not the most important part of the game, I particularly liked this one:

    Players costing £592m were sold for £203m, although accounting rules mean that generated a profit of £63m.


    What?

    Probably explains why the CEIS has City running at a 50m profit after ostensibly being down over a billion over ten years.

    The players will have cost £592m over their total AMORTISATION, as you're allowed to spread the cost against FFP over the length of the contract. Sales you can choose to have do the same, or to have the full value of the sale count for that specific years figures. For example, sell Salah for £50m and have one year £50m up on sales, or £10m each year for 5 years.

    They'll likely now need to sell off a couple of decent value transfers each year to balance the books. If say Gallagher and Chalobah are sold for £30m each this summer, for arguments sake, that's £60m to prop them up for another year.

    They've chosen to do this way in the hope that all the early 20 year old signings they've made grow into a team that gets towards the top. It's supported with growth off the field but with a sale now and then. Probably a fringe or academy player who brings in tidy profit. A gamble. That's why Jim is right and Waff is wrong in terms of Chelsea managers. You have to give one a long term crack at getting the team doing what they want. Changing it every 6 months just has you more and more likely to see the gamble fail.

    There'll likely be some headlines soon that they are in dire need of a fire sale, but I actually think they'll be fine. Unless of course the FFP bods decide the hotel sales are not to be included.

    He shouldn’t be in management for his training sessions alone. Every club he goes to has injury issues.

    Noticed a stack of FREE sticker albums for the Euros in Morrisons so picked one up out of morbid curiosity. I didn’t bother buying any stickers. Based on what I’ve read in it, Topps seem very honoured to be doing their first Euro sticker book, but let’s just say I’m glad it was free.

    So rather than wait and find out which teams qualify through the playoffs they’ve inexplicably included every posibility. So groups A to C are fine, with two-spread pages for the four qualified teams. But then Group D has the two-pager for Holland, Austria and France, plus then single pages full of stickers for Poland, Estonia, Wales and Finland. Group E and F does the same. Absolutely ridiculous.

    So some kids are gonna be collecting players from Luxembourg, Israel and Wales and wondering why. The free album even comes with a Gareth Bale sticker.

    Surely they could have waited?

    Olise and Eze fit for Palace? Yikes for Connor Bradley.

    If he could fix the injury issues, Olise would be a lovely signing should Salah fancy some Saudi money in the summer.

    You go behind all the time. It doesn’t really mean much.

    As Giggles says, you’d think Liverpool were losing most games with the way you lot go on in these threads. Klopp is doing miracle shit. The team isn’t great at all.

    Newcastle's women are 3-0 up in their last home game of the season. I don't think they can be crowned champs today.

    I think this team echoes Klopp really. They've punched above their weight so much this season but there's only so many times you can go back to the well etc.

    This is not the game for Endo. Everything he tries is not coming off.

    The Bradley/Konate side is just so open. I'd personally send Trent and Szoboszlai/Elliott on at HT, but I've no idea how fit Trent is.

    Szobo, Trent and Jota on bench, Palace be lucky to finish within 1 goal of us.

    Gomez and Kelleher's seasons are done with thankfully, just need Bradley and Luis Diaz to go the same way. The latter is going to be slightly trickier given gammons are woo-ing his pointless flicks and turns en masse.

    Nunez off, Chris Wood on. If we could have made that sub in the 1st minute, it would probably be 3-1 by now.

    Some sort of William H Macy 'cooler' character must follow Liverpool around, chance conversion in their games, often from both sides, is inexplicable.

    What's really concerning is how shit Szoboszlai has become. Pass after pass is just the wrong decision. He had a good one-two with Salah winning a corner, but mostly he's a bombscare.

    Everyone points to this game, but the league was lost at home to Chelsea. Liverpool were in need of a decent GD swing so went all out attack 3-0 up at Palace to try and get it. Even had it been 3-0 they still wouldn't have won the league.

    He was a lot better at keeping possession and starting passing moves at the start of the season. Hopefully it's just a blip in form, otherwise there's only really Mac Allister in central midfield to play passes with any kind of conviction and creativity.

    I think your German league signings always struggle around now. They have a nice Christmas break and a shorter league season, so this is a new level of physical demand.

    I put the Leverkusen game on instead of watching ken doll Odegaard rolling around on the deck, and Florian Wirtz immediately scored a ludicrous goal to make it 3-0. If I managed that team I'm not sure I'd go to a declining Liverpool tbh. Ride the wave.
