    Good result for Wolves. Still to play Leeds, West Ham, Spurs and Burnley. They may not get out of trouble but will have a big say in who does. Wouldn’t fancy playing them at the moment.

    Haven't seen many Forest Away ole ole posts, think we want Tottenham and West Ham more.

    Why would they hope that? They should be hoping people DO write them off. The stupidity is the banner itself.

    If only they'd made it make sense they could have saved themselves printing an extra word
    It’s based on something Brian Clough said young man 😉


    Oh I see, thanks for explaining, I feel a twat now.

    The Premier League released a short statement saying

    ”Do what you want mate”

    Cheating scum

    The Combined Counties League is too good for them.
    Yet they are allowed to keep the trophies that they bought. Dodgy as fuck.
    And you just know Man City will get a similar, pathetic sanction 
    I think City are going to get off some of the more serious charges. My prediction is at worst they will get a fine (which will be meaningless to them) plus perhaps a 1 year transfer ban (also meaningless) and then a points deduction which will get reduced on appeal. 

    Some of the talk i've seen of 50-60 points being deducted i really can't see happening. It'll probably end up at like 15. It might mean they miss out on the CL for one year and end up in the Europa. So again pretty meaningless overall.

    The fine should be at least equal to the illegal payment of £47m.

    I just can't see how they've not been docked points - Everton, Forest etc get docked points for spending a bit too much, Chelsea get a slap on the wrist for illegal transfer payments?

    I think it's probably because the new owners self-reported it. These offences were all committed under Abramovich and were only discovered when the new owners went through the books. It's quite possible that no one (including the Premier league) would ever have known about it otherwise.

    It's such a genuine surprise that there was illegal activity happening at Chelsea when Abramovich was in charge

    Might be wrong, but points deduction is mostly related to FFP, which Chelsea didn’t break on this occasion. Even with the illegal payments, they were still within the allowed losses for those years.

    How nice a side are Bournemouth to watch?

    Amazing that in a playing style sense they still have exactly the same philosophy and tactical identity as they did when Eddie Howe was manager 10+ years ago

    Will be very surprised if they keep Iraola beyond the summer. Think he'll have his pick of anywhere in Europe.

    Athletic Bilbao want him and he's a club legend there, so it seems perfect for him

    Kin hell Pickford!! - Ridiculously underrated
  • Rosenior out! 

    Can only be a matter of time!

    Makes sense still for West Ham to have wanted Moyes out

    What a difference between the keepers. Pickford is top class, Sanchez is awful.

    I refuse to believe that these Chelsea players take him seriously at all.

    A couple of years ago they had Pochettino as manager. Cucurella has won the Euro's, Enzo won a World cup, Palmer used to be managed by Pep.

    Leeds haven't scored for a month. Unless they can turn that around, hopefully in the next 15 minutes, then we'll have the pleasure of a visit from their fans next season.

    Such a bizarre appointment and I agree, doubt he has any credibility in the changing room at all.

    Think he's been appointed as a yes man, he's like the class dweeb who gets ignored by everyone.

    He’s just at the wrong club. He was doing well at Hull and would probably do well at a Burnley where he isn’t in the limelight and the players might respect him

    Can’t see anything other than a Spurs win today. 

    Think Forest have to win to stand a chance of staying up

    Lovely to see Sunderland take the lead so late on in the Derby
    Nothing against Newcastle, but will naturally always have a bit of a soft spot for the Mackems
