  1. Chelsea before the money...

    My absolute favourite time watching football and supporting Chelsea (maybe because I was a kid at the time). If my memory serves my right it was a huge coup when we signed Ruud Gullet. It kind of came out of nowhere and it was big news at the time. I remember my dad excitedly telling me how...
  2. Can we get top 5?

    I said it in another thread but I think aiming for fifth is foolhardy when City's ban will probably be overturned, at least for next season.
  3. Do we still need to finish fourth to qualify for CL?

    I can't help but think that any team that aims for fifth thinking they'll get Champions League football out of it will be left sorely disappointed when City's ban get overturned (at least for this year).
  4. Ashley Young | now of Everton

    I assume he's taken a pretty big pay cut to move there. Anyone know what his new salary at Inter is?
  5. Harry Maguire | Signed

    To think people were laughing when Van Dijk went for £75 million.
  6. How dominant USA would be in comparison to Brazil, France or Spain if their main sport is football?

    That's the cricket effect I guess. Every sportingly talented young Indian wants to be the next Tendulkar. Most Indians couldn't care less about football from my experience.
  7. Best current world XI?

    I like the lad, but amazed at how many people are including TAA. He can't even get in the England team at the moment.
  8. Henrikh Mkhitaryan to miss Europa League final

    I don't know much about the situation in the country, but it seems like the Azerbaijani government is currently on a big push to brand themselves as a "European" holiday destination, using sporting diplomacy. I mean they've had an F1 race for a few years now, which was originally named the...
  9. Allegri is leaving Juventus

    Yeah apparently some people here don't rate Klopp because "he hasn't won anything" ( apart from 2x Bundesliga titles and the German Cup of course), but they'd still rather have OGS over a proven winner like Allegri.
  10. Premier League Gameweek 38: Endgame

    This title race has clearly been the gateway drug for some fans to switch their support to City.
  11. Last minute prediction - who is gonna win the PL?

    City. No brainer. I expect they'll be at least a goal up by half time, which considering their defensive record this year will mean game over.
  12. Champions League Final 2019 | Spurs v Liverpool (1st June)

    I expect Manchester City to end up with 90+ points again next year, so they I think any team wanting the win the title next year will need to have close to what Liverpool have amounted this season.
  13. We should have hired Klopp

    I would have loved him to come to Chelsea.
  14. Premier League Gameweek 37

    Calm down guys, there's obviously a goal coming here. It feels like a repeat of the Burnley game.
  15. EPL Title race 2018/2019

    When was the last time 2nd place overtook 1st on the final day of the season? I don't think I can recall it ever happening during the Premier League era, which is as long as I've been watching football. United came close in 1994/95 and 2011/12 though.
