No, I said something about them breaking rules. My post, see below, was in response to the idea that justice would be harsher if it was United. The idea that United is somehow persecuted. I believe I mentioned that they broke rules and will certainly face sanctions. The argument is the...

Well, in fairness, United and Liverpool would never be in City’s position. When examining ways to keep other teams down… I mean “make it fair with FFP” …. They looked at the areas teams like United and Liverpool had massive edges in terms of revenue and decided those would be the only legitimate...

The ownership group of City can literally threaten the relations between countries, throw the cost of energy into doubt, etc. It’s why there is a vast sea of difference between billionaire backers and actual state ownership. If I’m not mistaken the irregularities were in payments that are...

See, I didn’t think he was super overhyped. He wasn’t like Jude Bellingham hyped. He was just supposed to be a really good, mainstay box to box midfielder; which he is. He has the technique, vision and flare to be an upper echelon mid when the team improves around him and he’s playing with more...

This article completely misses the point of what Chelsea was trying to do though, and the fact that we do t know yet whether it will work. Our “horrible busts” have mostly been defined by injuries, not necessarily abysmal play. Now, should they buy players who already have hamstring issues...

He’s playing pretty well, with pubalgia (lots of pain), and generally out of his more ideal positions. We have plenty of busts in our signings, not sure why people feel the need to force the perception of one with him.

Any win over Anthony Taylor is a solid achievement at this point for this team.

My issue with the slow mo red card decisions is pretty high. But the flip side of this is that many referees are getting free passes for horrible control of the matches because the focus is on VAR. I’m sure this happens to a lot of teams… but I’m watching our game against Luton back and Mengi...

Potter has a weirdly complicated system that needs time to put in correctly, and players that fit the fluid concepts he employs. Everyone probably told Chelsea this … and they were probably like “yeah yeah, sure”. Then they bought even more new players to overfill an already unconnected group...

I found the origins of the term very ironic and funny as well.

The problem is Americans are not tied to sports franchises or … anything really … by the type of sentiment and community you have in older countries. Soccer/football is taking off to some degree. But people here mostly ask “is MLS good?” and people respond with “it’s ok” or …”it sucks” then...

I still think we would have gone for Palmer. I know people listed him as a replacement option when Palace used that ridiculous blackmail stunt to stop our move, but it was a similar situation to Lavia: the people that had helped recruit and oversee their careers from an early age were here and...

This is exactly the issue. It is partly coaching, and partly personnel. For all his valuable savvy, Silva isn’t very good in the air anymore, none of our midfielders are particularly adept in that area either. Some of our taller and more athletic players seem to have poor instincts. A lot of...

That would be a tough one for me as well.

Here are the questions that will be asked by potential replacements: Will I have more input in the makeup of the team than the previous two did? Answer would be no. Is it still a “seven year project” where the focus will be on bringing in almost exclusively very young players? Yes. So...
