Now literally only being kept off the bottom of my work league of 31 by the guy who picked a team in August and has never changed it. I am absolutely shit at this. Made three transfers, did my bench boost and just beat the weekly average.

Only had the pleasure of the radio tonight, so not the best informed, but it sounded like a bad performance to go along with most on the road this season. We got away with it at Fulham but not at Chelsea and not tonight when there's far more quality in front of us. Eze et al are clearly on fire so if we're that much off our game we won't have a prayer. Still, three points out of Spurs and Palace is better than going unbeaten but only amassing two. I got a carried away as much as the next person, but if any of us really thought it would be a straightforward march to 6th, we can't have tuned in for much of this season. Big chance to course-correct on Saturday, just got to focus on that now. Bloody team.

2-1 sheff

Any better last few minutes?

Good God, ManU.

Rory Smith absolutely nailing the offside debate on Monday's Football Daily pod between 38-43 mins if anyone gives a shit.

Any idea on the away shorts?

Yeah, I don't feel good about it but I'm there too. I'll feel a bit more up for it if Villa don't win it. I really like the competition but it being won by Premier League FC every year eradicates a lot of the prestige imo. That being said, if it transpires that we feature in it, I would look forward to it and embrace the experience, and enjoy seeing us face opponents we've never faced. But when it comes to preference, it's the Europa League all day. I'd rather be in it than even the Champions League.

You just know whoever finishes third in the Championship aren't gonna win the play-offs.

See OP.

Because fuck you. Edited.

What will be somewhat (/incredibly) depressing is if Chelsea are the ones to take advantage of any 'unsettledness' and steal a march. Still an awful lot of repair work to do on their squad, mind, but you'd expect Pochettino to get them on the straight and narrow eventually.
