Talksh*te reporting Chelsea have given Man City a 5pm tomorrow deadline to stump up 120 mill, all it's all off.

Mudryk Accepted the charge that the substance was in his sample. It was simply black and white, either it was there or it wasn't. He has not admitted to knowingly taking it, and denies doing so. There is no chance of him proving his innocence, or the FA proving his guilt. So the common sense approach was what was taken. Time served to cover the charge of it being in his system. There is NO guilt attached, regarding illegally doping. Everyone is drawing a line under it, and starting afresh. He could have had a glass of milk and got it from that, or a juicy steak even, this is why the level at which reporting has been lowered, because it's within the food chain, and cannot be tested for in the meal you consume.

It's done to get around PSR, if it's done within 45 days, it's considered a swap, and the fees cannot be amortised. Nobody can afford not to do this now, it just demonstrates what a total clusterf**k the financial regulations are, which is rapidly destroying the power of the Premier League.

I think the perfect option if possible, would be a basic low salary, and a pay as you play big bonus to reach the sort of money he's on now. His type of experience is essential with our squad. If it could be a rolling 1 year contract too, all the better.

Alonso could be absoluteley creaming himself at the prospect of coming to Chelsea. BUT once he has a face to face meeting with the jokers pretending to be SDs, he will run a mile. At least we can rule out Gary O'Neil now as he's actually commited the cardinal sin, and pointed out what a sh*t job they did in the transfer window.

I take that to mean some adults!

We're all seeing what Cucarella had to contend with when he first arrived. Every situation he's slightly out of position because of the role asked of him. each time he has at least 2 choices of what to do in any defensive action. Without support he has to make a split second decision, make the wrong one or fret over it too long, you're slagged off as not good enough, a joke ( as Cucu suffered to extremes ). Make the right one and everyone calls you a defensive god. This is why nearly every team struggles to break down a low block, because the teams that play it well are well drilled and know their roles perfectly. This is why our wingers are usually facing 2 or more defenders every time we attack. As a team when we counter attack, hardly anyone can live with us, because the defence is not back into it's well rehearsed formation. In every team you can only afford one "luxury" player. If you lose the ball all the others have to bust a gut, to get back into their defensie positions. We have too many who think of themselves as THE luxury player.

I think that means we're throwing much more money at it than the other teams were prepared to pay.

I don't think Fofana won a single aeriel dual against Hojland. Trev comes on, and Hojlands night did a complete 180°. Gittens should have been put on the right wing, on the 2 occasions recently he's played there, he's looked reasonably good. Why the f**k would you put 2 left wingers together on the left.

I think he has the confidence to say f**k you Maresca, i'll play how i want, because i know nearly every team in the world who can afford me, will want me.

I've always maintained, with a competent back line in front of him, and the licence to hoof it when needed, he is a good goalie. The pressure of a sh*t back line, and being told under no circumstances to go long, put undue pressure on him. I prefer my goalies to be first and foremost, good shot stoppers, if they're good with their feet that's a Brucie bonus.

Sanchez, nobody else came anywhere near. At least he had a reasonable defence in front of him this time, so was not nervous like against Leeds.

i think he's already realising the massive f**k up it was coming to us.

I think the time has come for those in authority to start looking into match fixing. How can anybody be this thick, and have the power to continue breathing.

The problem for their goal was the fact Caicedo was missing, all through the game Cucu was showing him outside, and Caicedo was covering the cut in. With caicedo missing Saka was able to try the cut in. The other problem was Fofana wandering away from his man, towards the ball. Had Saka got past Cucu and Chalobah, he would have been ideally placed to intercept. Wiith Caicedo on the pitch Saka never really tried the cut back, with him missing, Fofanas anticipation was the wrong move, it left Moreno free.
