    Easy Peasy. Mind you, it's not much of a challenge playing these teams who can't even qualify for the World Cup :)

    I particularly enjoyed the Italian bench complaining about England's players making too much of tackles and wasting time.

    Offside is a mystery to me now.

    See De Bruyne's goal today.

    Lucky Haaland wasn't playing otherwise Liverpool would have been found out :)

    Didn’t look offside when the ball was played to him.

    So, 3-1 isn't a win?!

    No, but yards offside and gaining an advantage in two different ways when the ball was hoofed forward. I recognise it's not offside anymore but it makes no sense.

    🤔 a 2-0 scoreline this week has a certain je ne sais quoi, or should I say no se que.

    Sure, we're going through a bad patch - every team does - but we'll win stuff in future. Which is more than you can say for Scotland ;)

    So Chelski are looking for their third manager of the season. They’ve spent £550 million this season and sit a few places above relegation fighting wolves.

    So much for the new owner stating potter was for the long term.

    What’s big Sam doing currently?😄

    What I can’t understand is the current owners moved the senior management on who had a wealth of experience in acquiring players that fitted in with the clubs desired strategy.

    It reminds me of the saying how do you make small fortune in football? You start of with a large fortune.

    Not looking at relegation fodder like Wolves ;)

    10 games , 30 points left.Chelski aren’t safe yet…;-) and yet most people are happy with potter’s performance.

    I wonder if Todd and Putin are both suffering tonight thinking their super idea maybe wasn’t so super after all.

    Not sure, I'm not a fantasy football manager who knows about who's available and a good fit. Let's see whose names get bandied about.

    Woy. It's gotta be Woy. Woy will be available at the end of the season.

    Woy can save Chelsea money - he qualifies for a bus pass.
