Am I going blind or is that a really really really soft pen? :lol: Commentators are acting like it's stonewall
Incredibly soft, it's the whole, contact = entitled to go down thing again.

But if that is a pen then Konsah should at least be getting a yellow for denying a goalscoring opportunity.

Let Chelsea have that and the fact they can only spend 80% of this years turnover on transfers, Agent Fees, Amortised transfer and wages. Last year they were on about £505m revenue with a CL 1/4 final run. This year no Europe, they cant be higher than £450m and 80% of that would be £360m no wonder they were actually investigating the idea of asking UEFA to not participate next season, it really wouldn’t be worthwhile. Last season alone their wages accounted for 79% of revenue and £398m, this years accounts won’t include Tuchel and Potters pay offs but fir what they would get back in revenue and new financial restrictions it seems untenable for Chelsea to play in European Conference League, they must be thinking if they post 62 points, hopefully Newcastle and United draw against each other and drop points in other games so they come 6th.

Nani was born in the wrong era

If I had £1 for every time you posted at same link, I could pay off Man United's debts and still have change to give Chelsea enough money to buy another 30 random 18 year olds.

Spurs beat City and Liverpool and they'll be well in for top 4. I doubt it, but the incentive is there.

Chelsea up to 7th and heading to the Conference League as it stands although if Man Utd win the FA Cup and finish 8th then Newcastle go in to the Conference League instead and Chelsea wont be in any European competition.

Don’t forget the two hotels that Boehly sold to Boehly that get calculated in.

Looks like Villa we're awful today. Thursday-Sunday schedule strikes again.

I had a feeling Villa would drop points in their remaining games, mostly because of their European games, but Spurs do have a chance. They have to win today though or at least get a point.

YAWN at every home match will never not be contrived and cringey.

Nah, they will crumble, lose rest of the games, we will win them all and end up in 5th.

What a lovely song. Why commentators feel the need to shut up while it is on.

Do commentators realise that song isn't a National Anthem and it's okay to talk over it?

Really nice to know Liverpool won't be winning the league now. These last games would have been insufferable if they where right in it still

Bad loss for Villa that gives Spurs chance to catch them. They'll have to get result at Anfield though. Win would be huge and Liverpool aren't exactly impressive atm.

It never fails to amuse me how silent Anfield falls after their rendition of that shit song of theirs.
