Allardyce, who replaced Javi Gracia, said he may look "antiquated" but is the equal of any manager in the league.

"I'm 68 but there's nobody ahead of me in football terms. Not Pep, not Klopp, not [Mikel] Arteta," he said.

:joker:


Oddly enough I saw a documentary a while back which mentioned that Big Sam was the first to take a lot of things like diet / nutrition and apply loads of modern techniques that were unheard of at the time

Ha !

Very convenient for Captain Marvel ( Rice) to rule himself out poorly for the biggest challenge/ defeat in West Ham’s history !!

Look at the skill he’s got to work with Paquetá , Benrahma , Lanzini , Bowen , Fornals , Emerson ..

lampard wasn't forced to take the job :laugh:

Tbf I never said that.

He has obviously taken the money offered to him, and tbf he does love Chelsea so I have no doubt that he is trying his best.

However Boehly should've looked at how Lampard had done at Everton as a clue.

Mystic Mock

Hardly any Chelsea fans wanted him gone either. Not looked at the stats on it, but without his points, Chelsea would most likely be bottom of the league right now.

If Bohely gets bored with all this losing, accepts his huge losses and tries to sell Chelsea, who's gonna want to buy them? It's becoming a scary reality that this could be the beginning of the end for Chelsea as a PL football club. I fear the absolute collapse of Chelsea football club is imminent.

Speaking as someone that has been supporting a club that looks like it might finally be getting out of this similar situation next season.

Being honest this might take a few years to fix, because I can see Boehly being like BSHL and stubbornly sticking around being a poison chalice.

But Chelsea are too big to be liquidated I think, I'm reasonably confident that people would come in to try and save the club if it ever became a serious possibility.

Mystic Mock

As I said reffing is ridiculously lenient these days for all types of tackling so they can really get stuck in .. and then replace the ones who are booked .

Javi Gracia has defended his record as Leeds manager following his sacking.

Gracia was replaced by Sam Allardyce this week with four games of the Premier League season remaining.

Leeds were 19th in the table when Gracia took over from Jesse Marsch in February, and are currently 17th - above the relegation zone on goal difference.

"We got 11 points in my 11 matches," Gracia told the Athletic.

"Everton got eight points, Leicester and Southampton took six and (Nottingham) Forest five. So everyone else down there got fewer."

Somebody needs to tell Shaw two things.

1. Only Diego Maradonna could get away with handball because his hand was God itself.

2. You're not playing against England where the Referees throw the rulebook out of the window, hence the blind bastard's terrible performance in the England vs France Rugby Team at Qatar World Cup as the Referee didn't like England, so not even playing the Sport in France's case was A-okay in the Referee's eyes.

that's not how records are defined is it. You could arguably say that football has never been as competitive as it is now. This season in particular has far more teams in the mix for a european place than ever before. Relegation places are on a knife edge, meaning that nearly every team in the league has something to play for up until the final day

Don’t underestimate BigSam !!

He’s not gonna go there and outplay them ..

His ONLY option is to outfight , out-muscle them .. and given that it’s open season now with the weak / lenient officiating…

Apparently BigSam is getting £1 million for the four games with a TWO MILLION bonus for keeping them up ..

It was, but the outcome was still the same, they got those precious 3 points. It just makes Arsenal's task even more impossible. Fact is, City could have won 6-0, still 3 points. League winners play crap but scrap through.

City were poor today .. they didn’t rest their two main players despite going to play Real Madrid away in a few days .. they then have to play Everton ( playing for their lives ) away then Real Madrid again .. then a revitalised Chelsea then Brighton away then Brentford away

Newcastle v Arsenal

Arsenal play Jorginho instead of Thomas Partey !!!!

Newcastle start both Isak and Wilson !!

I fully expect Joelinton to fly into a few tackles in the first few minutes.. to get the crowd going .. just hope he doesn’t catch anyone too hard . I’d imagine he will target Odegard and Saka


The keepers are playing for the right to be the next England keeper

Wilson is a nasty individual.
All through the half he’s been barging into Arsenal players .. just then he barged into Odegards back who was arguing with someone.. he was just trying to wind him up and sent off

Now he’s winding Xhaka up and getting him angry ..

Man Utd need to stop playing Weghorst.

He slows your attack too much, and stopping Rashford from being the free flowing goalscorer that he was being for most of the season.

If Man Utd starts with Weghorst against Wolves I see a similar result happening.
