    I don’t see why anyone thinks it’s an advantage for Sullivan to lose lots of money. He is going to need as much as he can muster to overcome our financial problems, find a new manager, and rebuild.

    If it costs him hundreds of millions it costs the club hundreds of millions.

    It's more that the value of his asset with drop by hundreds of millions.

    However, as a club I fear we'll really struggle because, as you say, we will definitely lose the players we want to keep and be stuck with the ones we don't particularly want. The last set of accounts we're pretty poor as it was.

    Moyes when asked about European places for Everton.

    "The players aren't used to it," he said. "But it's a better feeling than trying to avoid relegation."

    Ouch.

    Any thoughts on the Everton goal, clearly standing offside resulting in him benefiting from the back pass.. huge decision
  • chicagohammerchicagohammer
    Evertons first goal that is 😂

    3-3. Now the title is pretty much out of City’s hands why don’t the PL now inflict the massive points deduction which will drop them to the bottom and save us.

    But you can't be offside from a back pass, which it clearly was. I know he was offside when the previous Everton pass was played forward, but he didn't interfere with that, Guehi has the ball under control and deliberately plays the ball back to the keeper. Huge decision maybe, but, as I understand the current interpretation of the rules, an unquestionably correct one.

    See Villa have woken up tonight. Pity they couldn’t have done this against Spurs.

    It is frustrating as I am sure they had the beating of Spurs in them. However they only did what any side would do in prioritising, and ultimately we had it in our hands and needed win our match and we would have lost no ground on them.

    Whilst I agree that any team would have done the same, it's still a kick in the teeth that Spurs got to play a reserve Villa team purely because of the way the fixtures came out. If Spurs had played them at any other point in the season they wouldn't have got such an easy ride, yet they got to play them on the one single weekend of the season when Villa put out a seriously compromised team.
  • thornburyironthornburyiron
    Before it became a squad game when teams had a first and a reserve team clubs got punished for putting out a “weakened” team without good reason or getting prior approval.

    Agree thorn but that didn't stop Forest "B" beating Chelsea on Monday!
  • claretandblueskyclaretandbluesky
    It's a great Shame Arsenal stalled last month as City surged, we could have ended up playing Arsenal as league Champions and only now thinking of a Champions League final.
  • buffybegoodbuffybegood
    Slow start by Chelsea against Liverpool but they finished the first half the better; hopefully we'll still have a chance when the next round of fixtures come round and they continue this form against Spurs.

    Possibly true, but if Spurs don't beat Leeds then I think Chelsea would love to play a part in sending Spurs down.
  • stevesteve
    Well the fans would ,But do present day players care ,Not like back in the day when it seemed to mean more with mostly English players in teams

    Bournemouth having a bad weekend

    First they've suspended Alex Jimenez for making "inapposite comments" online to a 15yo girl and now Ryan Christie has been sent off

    To even things up Fulham's Joachim Andersen got sent off 10 minutes later.

    It certainly got feisty between the 2 teams a couple of seasons back when, I think, Chelsea ensured Spurs couldn't win the title.

    Apparently its been a thing since Spurs beat Chelsea in 1967 FA Cup final

    It got worse at the end of 1974/75 when they played and were both in danger of relegation. Spurs won after a pitch invasion and fights delayed the match, eventually avoided relegation by a point while Chelsea went down

    It kicked off again after they met in the FA Cup quarter final 2007

    They're not overly fond of each other...

    I don't think anyone is particularly fond of them.

    How many times has Cunha been booked for diving this season? Definitely two and I think there was a third somewhere.

    Disgraceful.
  • ASLEFshruggedASLEFshrugged
    Rayan scores with an assist from Smith who is only playing cos Jimenez is suspended

    Bournemouth will stay 6th even if Brentford manage to beat City away tonight but unfortunately they play City next with Forest away on the last day

    Hornchurch promoted that will delight one of our own on here 👏.

    Bernardo Silva remonstrating at length at a 🟡.

    I thought refs issued a second yellow for that, these days?

    Oh, wait..

    Both Championship semi first legs ended 0-0

    Odd as both Hull v M...... games were 3-1 away wins while Boro beat Saints 4-0 at home and drew 1-1 at St Marys

    It's a big step up for them. They will do well to not come straight back down but a great day for them today. 🥳

    Certainly raised a glass to the Urchins this evening - I think a couple of my mates will have very sore heads tomorrow morning

    Makes little difference tbh, I can't see us getting at least 7 points from our last 3 games.
