I have wondered about their inclusion in the Eurovision, not that i watch it, but then again i wonder the same about the UK.

Yes a financial accountant who is close to the matter on Chelsea said exactly that. The sales are huge over the last 3 seasons and although they do not match the sums spent, when you add the commercial side, they very nearly do, within the FFP £105m loss over 3 years rule. There are some historical issues that have already been settled with UEFA as they have a 3 year claim or clear rule, so it would just be with the EPL and the new Chelsea owners have been up front about these, whereas Everton apparently gave faleshoods and were caught out (according to the news not me Compo) City however have 115 counts and are lawyering up, so who knows what will happen. I think Everton's reduction should be 6 points.

Both great in my book

They stretched something, but it wasn't the gap.

And just for 24 hours i will go back to my original profile pic of DJ circa 1983!! Happy 70th !

Not forgetting Chelsea in that category!!

Yes but Spurs looked like they could pip Leicester that season until Eden Hazard stopped them with 2 goals at the Bridge

Well Spurs will, there is no doubt. Not sure about the Mickey Mousers though.

Best, Law, Charlton. I wonder what their combined cost would be in today's market? I think i heard a pundit yesterday saying that Bobby was only ever in awe of one other player, and that was Duncan Edwards.

Watching the dust settle on the picture rail has got to be better than D&P?

Totally, and thing is, he always played, was rarely injured despite being the most fouled player season after season. Would have loved him in my old Sunday team

Hopefully not for long!!

Moi?

Bit young and wet behind the ears, why not go the whole way and appoint Roy Hodgson?

Prob because he has just taken another job.

Bielsa would be interesting?

Decent start.

Yes spent £325m but sold £220m (inc Havertz 65m and Mount 60m, Kovacic £36m) worth of players plus saved a few £m a week on wages.

Don't read this Compo!!!

Hard watch today, hopefully if the squad have anything about them and ditto the manager, it will shake them to the core and there will be a positive reaction over the next few games. Far too early to be calling individuals out, inc the manager. Not an ideal start by any means, but this one result will not cost the season.

Yes, my thoughts on going there once for business, but i could probably put up with 2 seasons for $40m tax free, thinking that I would only be in country for 9 months of each year and living in a 5 star hotel.

They are switching from Three, who decided to ask Chelsea to remove the sponsorship from the shirt after the start of the conflict in Ukraine and Chelsea refused and were going to sue, so Three relented after the new owners took over. That deal was £40m a year and they had a couple of deals blocked, Paramount Plus was one but was blocked by the EPL. Any new deal is expected to be £50m for 5 years.

Can't do much worse, and if we did, we would be relegated!! Luton, Sheff Utd and Wolves my pick for relegation?

Much needed GK, AM (Caicedo?) and maybe another CB or CF if a deal can be done.

Or another Jayden Sancho?
