Although Middlesbrough are an exciting side at the moment, they'd be one of the duller additions as a club. Luton or Millwall would be nice novelties but scumbag fans would make that old quick. Sunderland would be dull, Blackburn meh.

Any sale of them could be complicated by the sanctions against Usmanov which is a ridiculous situation that the league allowed to develop.

If Everton stay up they do have the potential to be a big club again with the new stadium, if they go down any new owners will have to take on a lot of debt.

Interesting to note we were present here. https://www.independent.ie/sport/soccer/league-of-ireland/a-massive-day-for-football-bohemians-daniel-lambert-hails-launch-of-new-body-for-small-and-medium-sized-european-clubs-42446514.html

City might even sell out their ticket allocation this time.

Reina's reflexes had gone by the time he came here but he still played with confidence in his ability. It helped.

They had 13% possession at one stage when I checked, a complete backs against the wall performance.

Surprised no mention of Michael Oliver doing nixers in Saudi Arabia and embarrassing himself by being afraid to send off the most high profile has been out there.

Sinisalo has to start next game if Emi is out, our season is over if Olsen plays.

He is a good decoy for our main aerial weapon Buendia to be fair.

Like a reverse Bruno Di Gradi

It will take a good while for him to regain his confidence now, good for us.

Over 900 career appearances from someone who started out as a speedy winger is exceptional. Unlucky to have been overlooked for Jesus Navas during the Spanish golden era too.

A reminder that he is not much older than Cameron Archer was when he had an uninspiring loan at Solihull Moors. It would be a nice bonus if things would click the same way for him.

It looked on paper that they were reinvesting the Raphinha and Phillips money wisely but ended up more like how we reinvested the Benteke Delph money.

Yeah a priority for the Summer is finding a Moreno clone as he has become so key to the way we play, Digne doesn't have the tools required.

When I first seen him play at Schalke he really reminded me of Tim Cahill, he needs to be playing in a role like he did for me.

Really set up to overturn a two goal deficit here tonight. Lampard can't last until the end of the season surely?

If they had stopped at 15 it would have been sensible. Last season they had an incredibly settled side with great momentum by the end of the season. Why they didn't try and keep as much of that together is a mystery as they showed in the FA cup they could dismantle PL teams too. Spence could have been attainable on loan from Spurs, his move there has been a disaster for him. Garner and Davis might not be brilliant but both were settled and crowd favourites. With the resources they have both were very attainable. Cook and Colback were the 2 who don't have the legs for PL football but both could have been grand to have around for experience. Like at Chelsea I can only imagine how difficult it has been to organise training with such numbers, there is a reason top teams like to have tight squads.

He doesn't stand out for their u21s either, I never seen him play in his Hoffenheim days but this season he looks a long way away from PL quality.

Another factor is the political power of the gentrification of that area of Manchester brings, will be beneficial if there is any investigation into their corruption as neither political party will want to upset the UAE.

Leeds are going down with no Tyler Adams, McKennie is awful as a central midfielder.

Not as bad as his fellow Geordie from Get Carter

Bentancur getting injured cost them more than anything else this season. If Kane leaves it will free up resources for 2 or 3 new signings. Get them right and they will be a force again albeit unlikely to challenge for any titles.
