    I suppose Mrs Chelski is starting to look a bit ropey. :D

    :smile:

    Jorghino should never have stayed on the pitch, Without him up until that point, they were 2nd best and a 10 man Chelsea would not have won the game,
    But despite the loss, Arsenal played with an energy (that ran out with 20 mins to go) and a determination that I haven't seen for a while, so I think there's a bit of optimism with Arteta.
    Even Luiz looked like the defender he could be week in, week out.
    Don't forget, Chelsea lost against Southampton, Bournemouth, City, and Everton recently. Therefore, their form is totally erratic.
    Lose to Bournemouth at home but beat Spurs away!!
    With Wolves, the Spuds and Man U knocking on the door, a CL spot is going to be a hard task call for a few.
    I guess we'll meet Chelski in the Europa cup next season ;).

    ...and Arsenal? We can't get any worse.
    I dunno, there are 8 places below 12th ;)

    At this rate at least you won't have to play on a wet Thursday night in Bulgaria next season :)

    The whole VAR/offside debacle seems to be getting worse. How can a player honestly judge whether or not they're offside by a finger nail or little toe? The disallowed Wolves goal against Liverpool was ridiculous (and I support Liverpool).

    They need to re-look at the rules for offside and set out something that is more workable and allows for quicker decision making.
    You can fool some of the people all of the time. Concentrate on those people.

    Not necessarily, the table is very tight in the lower half - 5 point gap between 11th and 18th. That said, Eddie Howe is a bit like Sean Dyche - even if they do go down, he'll probably be kept to get them back up again as it seems he can't do a lot wrong (judging by the lack of grief he appears to get even in bad times).

    ...and only 6 points between 13th and 5th.
    It's a very tight league.

    Just been watching Kevin de Bruyne, courtesy of a pal's Sky feed, playing vs Villa. That man is just simply excellent. Just been subbed with City 5:0 up, time to do some other stuff...

    Bit of a thumping for Villa. Although the Villa fans did keep their spirits up by singing 'Champions of Europe - you'll never sing that' to the City fans :)

    Definitely going down. Losing 0-3 at home to fellow strugglers Watford with a pi55 poor lack lustre perform ance.
    Eddie Howe getting a pasting from the locals on the Daily Echo website. But you're right he will still keep his job.

    OK, let's try another one: I reckon Arsenal will finish 4th this season.

    Lampard looks like he's starting to feel the pressure. He was the same at Derby last season when we went through a bad patch after Mount got injured. He may have a point when he says their forwards need to start taking chances but putting it so bluntly almost comes across as absolving himself of responsibility - and he was the one that decided a world cup winning striker wasn't part of his plans after all.

    The silence from Chelsea in the transfer market is deafening.

    Poor old Roman, no Visa for the UK & Switzerland and Romans no excuse for not investing in the the transfer market now the transfer ban has ended, especially as they haven’t replaced Hazards goals. Oh and their defence is sh1te. When was the last time he appeared at Chelsea or even gained entry into the UK?

    I appreciate he’s recently buttressed Chelseas finances but I think that’s more to prepare the asset for a sale.

    So rather than Arsenal finishing fourth I think Chelski might finish in the top 10, below Wolves and Arsenal.

    Salt and vinegar is fine ;-)

    Now tell me about this £150 million transfer budget for Frank you muted?

    And no, no Wolves players are for sale.

    I’m feeling Wolves will get a favourable result tonight ......
