Two 100pt seasons in Champ can’t hide fact that we (they) are woefully out of our depth in the prem and needing to rebuild every summer is hollowing out any sense of team building.

Not sure I even put this on Parker. Seems a decent bloke, cares, and is trying to affect things.

This is strategic failings by the owners. Trying to set us up in the modern way, but using Windows 95 for the scouting, and doing it on the cheap.

Complete self sabotage here. Played half decently, but have shot ourselves in both feet.

Pretty sure I saw an article comparing our bowling attack to a Jackson Pollack painting too.

It’s like, at this point whose opinion is this going to change? That horse surely bolted long ago, after decades of question time fluffing.

That’s my point

It’s weird. Under Kompany it just felt so chaotic and this isn’t that. We look tidy and can play ‘quite’ well, but we look so toothless. Didn’t think first half was that bad, but we switch off for a second and we’re behind.

From that I’m struggling to see us break down anyone at the moment.

It feels quite on brand for someone to be that anal about chess.

Cut back on your streaming subscriptions mate

I’d argue that if you own a home worth over £2m, but these new tax rules put you at risk of financial ruin, then perhaps a spell of cutting ones cloth accordingly is in order.

At least that’s what us plebs have been told for the last decade and half.

Chelsea were ok, but weren’t great and were there to be got at. Our lack of quality up front was glaring again.

Huge month coming up.
