Love that they went down. Bielsa had them playing much better than what they were. Sacking him was a mistake. Goodbye, you won’t be missed.

Successful? the only thing Southgate is full of, is shit. (I just wanted to say that. I know what you mean)

He’s right though. I mean how has punishing people ever helped them? What we should be doing is starting a kitty for him to help pay his gambling debts. While we’re at it, maybe we should be setting free all the paedos we got locked up. Maybe give them a job at the local primary schools to help rehabilitate them. What an utter tool.

Maguire and Phillips. Utter mockery.

I stand corrected.

I suspect we were already aware that he wouldn’t be signing, and as such wanted to put it out there about how highly we valued him.

Lol, I have a hard time believing it myself to be honest

I think at the time it was reported that he would not sign for us unless we paid £100k per week. As with all things that are reported in the press, you have to take it all with a pinch of salt, but for example: https://www.birminghamworld.uk/sport/football/aston-villa/aston-villa-carney-chukwuemekas-huge-wage-demands-revealed-3778558 “The latest reports claim the midfielder has now rejected Villa’s contract offer amid talk of a sea of interest from home and abroad. According to Football Insider, Chukwuemeka wants as much as £100,000-per-week to sign a deal this summer.” https://www.spotrac.com/Premier League/chelsea-fc/carney-chukwuemeka-73194/#:~:text=Carney Chukwuemeka signed a 6,cap hit of £5%2C200%2C000. Reported £32m contract, £100k per week. I’m guessing that is more than Ollie Watkins, Mings, McGinn, and World Cup winner Martinez… for an 18yr old who quite frankly looked out of his depth (like you correctly point out that would be expected) in the few minutes that he had. If you google his wages, you’ll see loads of reports claiming the same. If those reports are accurate (which I concede may not be..) I think it’s disgusting, and Chelsea (not Carney) should be ashamed of themselves for ruining football. And for the good of football, I hope he has a failure of a career so that every other club learns a big lesson. I hope you agree.

Isn’t that the entire point being made though? He had shown nothing in the senior game to suggest he was worth the price tag or the contract that he was demanding? He was an 18yr rookie old demanding the wages of a seasoned international. Somehow He managed to get them, I applaud his agent, and I applaud whoever managed to get £20m for him, and I laugh at Chelsea. He is MILES off starting for a competitive champions league team. I sincerely hope his career crashes and burns - not out of spite, but for the good of the game. Ultimately it is us (fans) that pay for his, and any other youth prospect with decent prospects £100k a week.

Yh I just imagined it. With only 10 players behind the ball they’d have lost 6-0

Why the **** does cash do that?!

Can I have this weeks lottery numbers please?

It’s very odd. Now I agree that he didn’t have one of his better games, BUT I think the fairest analysis is from the non biased view of the opposition. Reading the spurs game thread there were a couple of references: https://thefightingcock.co.uk/forum/threads/aston-villa-vs-tottenham-hotspur-sat-13th-may-3pm.47989/page-33#post-3883583 ‘The difference between the sides is Buendia. I'm sitting up high in the stand here’ https://thefightingcock.co.uk/forum/threads/aston-villa-vs-tottenham-hotspur-sat-13th-may-3pm.47989/page-38#post-3883691 ‘Buendia is class’ Not bad for someone who was ‘poor again today’

It was a penalty from the contact point of view what I’m more interested is how come they didn’t show the possible offside in the build up?

But you know Southgate will pick Maguire instead.

I didn’t watch the interview, but think he has a stammer.

Another example of how important the right manager is. Under Gerrard he looked like he was a championship level player. Under Unai he’s the best player on a pitch with so called £100m plus players. Along with Mings and Dougie, we have been saved the loss of £150m worth of players by finally sacking Gerrard before he got rid to bring in some cloggers. Thank McGrath for intervening.

Absolutely right. And he’s been superb since the scouse fraud left. We’d probably have lost him for peanuts if Gerrard wasn’t sacked.

Exactly! no red/blue line i could’ve sworn he was offside

It was 2-2?

McGinn brilliant again

Why the **** they celebrating like they won the champions league?

Exactly the vibes I’m getting

Shit team.
