  1. We aren’t letting Rory leave. I imagine it’s just part of the negotiating process.

    Chelsea

    They have big financial issues. They won’t be spending big. They really can’t afford to with FFP compliance. All they can do is trade what they what have. Second biggest wages in the league and no Europe again puts them in a difficult position.
  3. Wild stat for Napoli after winning the league last year
  4. He had just discovered what apocalypse meant so he had to hit the deck out of fear

    Struggling to beat Forest isn't a sign of anything. Without Europe they are going to struggle to keep their billion-pound squad happy. Palmer isn't going to get 9 penalties next season.
  6. “Our dream is as we said a few weeks ago when [Arsenal] lost against Aston Villa was to arrive in the last games with it in our hands, to play West Ham at home with the destiny belonging to us.” Pep wants this wrapped up before the final game. He wants to win against Spurs. Any other answer is ignoring this.
  7. The traditional claret and blues look great
  8. Like the 85-90-minute performances where he got goals or assists against Wolves, Bournemouth, Luton, Burnley and Palace. I really don't know what you are claiming to have been watching to make such claims. The team is the sum of its best parts. Not every player will always perform to their best for 90 minutes weekly. He's playing two different roles and learning from Unai's expertise. But his contributions have helped us win games. You can't deny that. Even when he's not scored or gotten an assist, when he's on it, he's very difficult to play against. It was 35m euros with add-ons. Even if we paid £45m, he's done more than players signed by other clubs for less. You're welcome to criticise his errors and when he's maybe underperforming. But this is the sort of scapegoating, unhelpful language that helps nobody. Is it not more conducive to offer some support and praise the good? Criticise the flaws. Writing off players like this is just toxic. Unai values him.
  9. We had a great league record against Brighton and still lost. Spurs's record at home against them means nothing. Pep is determined to win the league.
  10. We had a fantastic record in the Prem against Brighton and lost. It happens. It really means little when the whistle blows. Try not to worry.
  11. That logic cuts both ways though: it’s not outlandish either to suggest that we could get at least a point against Liverpool.
  12. I think had Burnley tried a little harder they could have gotten something had they pushed more in the second half. Pathetic showing from them when staring down relegation.
  13. Wild to me how some people are investing so much time into arguing that Spurs will get points against City whilst dismissing the possibility of that we won’t pick up any. Baffling.
  14. Naive Burnley till the end. I’d be livid if that was us with that second half
  15. The City machine goes into overdrive as the season closes out. Pep won’t have them losing
  16. I think there’s an element of it. Certain accounts only posting after Spurs went 2-1 up. Trying to rile people up tbh.
  17. It’s embarrassing. People already inventing scorelines to score cheap points.
  18. Poor old City reliant on another most expensive defender in Europe to bail them out
  19. It’s clever in so far as you don’t see the cracked design when folded as in the photo. It’s a beautiful, beautiful shirt with those greens.
  20. Bloody hell: “Three members of the national team have suffered assaults this month, prompting the cancellation of the season-opening charity match on Friday. One of the victims, winger Faisal Halim, was left in a critical condition after an acid attack in a shopping mall last weekend. Police have yet to establish a motive, or whether the incidents are linked. Malaysia's football association has urged high-profile players to take precautions, including hiring bodyguards.”
