It is this simple: football has zero responsibility to help the Premier League tackle piracy.

This is a problem they caused in persuit of ever higher revenues and profits.

There is neither benefit in nor obligation for the rest of football to take any steps whatsoever to help.

I believe it's goals scored before GD though?

I believe so.

I believe I am right in saying that it actually in Chelsea's case requires them to lose by 2 goals as they have the lead on H2H on goals scored.

Not so sure that is necessarily needed. Yesterday Cuthbert missing through suspension, OJF and Bartel all minor knocks, same as Baltimore made it look thinner than it is. And also Kerr and Fishel to return c. February.

Yes, to be honest if we needed a wake-up call, rather it came before Xmas than after.

Basically this was Reading away again, except we actually got a point. No one bar a couple played well for about 75 minutes.
Meagre positives - Kaptein excellent and Bernabé looked sharp. Should have won it late on.

One of those 18 was still Ethan Pinnock scoring a header from a long throw.

Precisely my point. See my above team.

Swap Guiu for Nkunku, Neto for Mudryk and Carney for Félix. 👀

Richard Olise - Michael's younger brother. Right sided player.

Jørgensen
Acheampong-Disasi-Tosin-Veiga
KdH - Rak-Sakyi
George-Félix-Mudryk
Nkunku

Bench: Bergstrom, Dyer, Mhueka, Guiu, Murray-Campbell, Chukwuemeka, Neto, Olise

Purely an educated guess.

Didn't think he qualified for the B list nowadays. Might be wrong?

Would be tempted to take Pedro Neto as suspended for Brentford.
