De Laet and Engels won the Belgian league with Antwerp. Engels injured of course.

Eden Hazard leaving Real 1 year before his contract ends. Most likely set to retire. You know it's bad when you haven't already been offered a £100m a season contract from the Saudi retirement league.

He spent 4 years on their bench. Massive player at Chelsea, but a squad filler in Madrid.

he probably will retire, but he could still be usefull at Lille or something, close to home, less pressure, easier league.

Got schooled a few times against fast wingers, the Leicester game particularly against Barnes. We are aiming for Europa/CL next season we need better. 

Hoping he'll take on more of a coaching role. 

He could still be useful for European games against lesser opponents. His experience combined with players like A Ramsey and archer could still take on a lot of teams in Europe.

I would have liked him to stay as a squad player.

Can they loan 4 players from one club? 

Only if one of them is Januzaj

(sorry, had to be done)

Serious question -

How long do you think Chelsea will be a member of the so called 'big 6' if they consistently fail to qualify for Europe?

I remember before them before their success bought by Abramovich's oil money and they were no where near classed as a big club.

London centric media would keep them in the spotlight longer than if the same had happened to for example, Villa or Everton, but surely Chelsea would fall from the big club cartel after a while.

Even assuming they're not relegated, would the media still be calling them 'big 6' after, say 5 years of mediocrity or would it take 10+ years until their fan base dwindled, lacking the glory they hunt?

I see this scenario as more likely for Tottenham. Chelsea/boehly will keep spending like a big club.

Going into the bathroom not matching your assigned gender will be illegal.

I'm looking forward to a screaming 5 year old boy being arrested for being in the ladies room with his mum.

And his mom for being a ‘groomer’

I agree with some of the comments on here, it’s not as exciting as botw was. Still a fun game though. I hope it gets better as I progress.

still can’t be bothered making vehicles every time, I prefer exploring on foot.

2 points dropped when you concede so late on. Positive: a point takes us above Spurs, which I didn’t expect before today’s games. Europe very much in our own hands.

The videos of people torturing the Koroks by strapping them to rockets/cooking them are brilliant. Check them out on twitter. 

The game was launched on Friday. It took gamers 1 weekend to resort to torture and penis jokes  

imagine what we’ll see in a few weeks

About to boot up for a go, but I’ll have to make sure I don’t play too long as I’m back to work in the morning.

so proud of this hovercraft I made

Is it worth spending time building vehicles? I passed by plenty of material sites to build a cart, but went looking for a horse instead (until I got distracted )

First hour or two in.

the new abilities are cool. The island is a bit like the plateau in botw, learning to use your abilities.

Jo swinson said she would try take us back into EU if lib dems won and they performed horrificly at last election. Alot of peoplw still support brexit it seems if tahts anything to go by

This could also be because people are tired of talking about it and want to move on. The last few years are seen as a big waste of time talking about it, negotiating and then ending up with nothing. I can imagine some people are tired of this (even if this means not trying to correct a huge mistake imo)

I think it's unlikely he will appeal tbh , he's sorta got away with the more serious charge (rape) and the deformation was essentially about him saying he'd never met her ? as some have said it  probably won't hurt him enough to ruin his chances of winning the nomination .. an appeal just brings it back to the publics attention and reaffirms the  accusation / actual crime with 12 months to go for the nomination

 

 

Doesn’t he always appeal, no matter the case or verdict. It’s his way of dragging it out until they give up.

The Draw:

Imagine a group with Atalanta, villa and athletic club and any from pot 4. Anyone who thinks we can just field our youngsters and walk through is kidding themselves.

this is of course highly unlikely and the groups will probably be a lot easier, but still, there is potential for some challenging games in the ECL group stage.

Sorry if this has been discussed already but there seems to be some confusion over how many places qualify for Europe. My understanding from the below link is that because Man Utd beat Brighton and it's a Man City Man Utd FA Cup final, and with Man Utd winning League Cup , then the top 7 now qualify for Europe?

No worries, this is being discussed every five pages or so in this thread. You will not be the last one asking

There are more names now than at the start of the (every)season. Booooo

Tucker Carlson leaving FOX.

Thoughts and prayers.

Where will the extreme right get their own opinions from now? You know, doing their own research.

West Ham are not completely out of it, but is now not likely they get dragged back into it. 
it’s between all teams below them for me (depending on the Leeds result).

southampton, Forest and Everton as my current guess. Leicester have a easier run coming up and maybe the new manager bounce. Leeds will survive again by a vert small margin.

I was lukewarm on the game, but honestly this trailer has me very excited for it now. It might just end up being the ultimate Zelda game.

I am a bit curious to the whole ‘create your own weapon or vehicle’ ability.

This should help with polarization

Is it too late to throw Chelsea into the mix?

They’re still in the top 11, according to some media.

I don’t mind them in the PL and can think of a number of clubs down at the bottom I would prefer to go down.

not only have the had recent success, I like that they gave the sky six a problem over the years, taking European spots. Strangely the media still prefer Spurs, yet Leicester have more claim of being a big club based on silverware over the last decade.

They have a terrible season and could go down, but there should be teams worse than them.

Money improves the chances off success not gauarentee it, but certanly improves it. PSG for instance still look miles off a champions league with Neymar/Mbappe/Messi up front.

PSG wouldn’t be in the CL or have those players without the artificial money. Same with City and Chelsea, they are top clubs now because they bought their success/titles. A bad season for Chelsea is just a bad season, the money will make sure they challenge again in the future.
