I suspect this would have been sorted out quickly if we had a manager who was an expert in emotional intelligence but where would you find one of those!
Presumably if Chelsea finish seventh and lose the final they end up back in the Conference again next season. It wouldn't be a consolation but it would make me laugh to think they've got another season playing in a competition they've never wanted to be in.
I think his next move should be to Arsenal. A striker who costs a fortune but doesn’t actually score many goals… they seem to have a predilection for that type of player.
I think it’s strange that the PL article on whether eighth place can get into Europe includes the words “according to ESPN's Dale Johnson”. Surely ESPN should be contacting the PL for clarification, not the other way round!
Pedro is an obvious talent but are we a better team when he doesn't play? I think Rutter playing behind Welbeck with Minteh and Mitoma out wide is a better front four. He's nice option of the bench but I don't suppose he sees it that way!
I could be wrong but if Man City win the FA Cup then places six and seven are Europa League places and Conference League is eighth. But if Chelsea win the Conference League and finish sixth then Europa League spots would go to seven and eight and the Conference League spot would be ninth. Is...
What could be wrong about winning a European competition that's been won by Roma, West Ham, Olympiacos and (almost certainly) Chelsea. Plus free entry to the Europa the next season... it would be great!
Before the Hull loan Rushworth's stock was very high and his progression had been pretty much faultless. Perhaps he gets the gloves and we take £60m for Bart.
Is our current manager manager under 32 years old?... Blimey, that's the first I've heard of it. You'd think it would get a passing mention in the media.
