By Batong Go To PostI see the bookies have another bald manager coming in for the PL and Brighton. Think it's a tad too early for the 'relationist' Rydström though.stop taking over the world m9

By markao Go To PostLowest pass completion from all European matches this season, the conference final :ouch:😩
By Lego Go To PostNo one's said anything about that as of late.
Even if Chelsea are still shit, they should still win it, is my point. So should have Villa this year, but they don't have the recent European experience of Chelsea, or as expensive a squad.
Managers/Players in Chelsea’s squad with European experience:
Disasi (19 games)
Cucurella (15 games)
Badiashile (17 games)
Sterling (94 games)
Enzo (27 games)
Mudryk (15 games)
Madueke (24 games)
Chalobah (9 games)
Jackson (10 games)
Ugochukwu (11 games)
Nkunku (37 games)
Palmer (8 games)
Chilwell (23 games)
Gallagher (8 games)
James (30 games)
Gusto (7 games)
Petrovic (4 games)
Fofana (18 games)
Moreira (1 game)
On loan:
Sarr (21 games)
Kepa (34 games)
Maatsen (6 games)
Anjorin (3 games)
Ziyech (77 games)
Broja (5 games)
Datro Fofana (19 games)
Lukaku (91 games)
Maresca (0 games)
Total: 595 games (including all on loan)
(168 from Ziyech and Lukaku who will leave)
Managers/Players in Aston Villa’s squad with European experience:
Martinez (19 games)
Cash (13 games)
Carlos (33 games)
Konsa (14 games)
Luiz (14 games)
McGinn (19 games)
Tielemans (77 games)
Watkins (12 games)
Digne (37 games)
Torres (34 games)
Moreno (16 games)
Chambers (30 games)
Diaby (48 games)
Duran (12 games)
Olsen (56 games)
Rogers (5 games)
Bailey (51 games)
Ramsey (3 games)
Kamara (34 games)
Have on loan:
Lenglet (62 games)
Zaniolo (40 games)
Out on loan:
Dendoncker (54 games)
Coutinho (74 games)
Emery (172 games, 3 ELs and 1 EL runner up)
Total: 527 games
(and I haven’t counted Lenglet, Zaniolo, Dendoncker or Coutinho - or Emery! Would be 655 with Den/Cou, 757 with Len/Zan, and 929 with Emery)
Chelsea’s squad is hugely inexperienced overall. Would certainly not be a given that they don’t do as well as Villa did.
I want to belittle Enzo Maresca winning a European trophy in his first season by making it seem inevitable
I do wonder if they (ownership) will prioritize the Conference league over either of the two domestic cups. I know with the change to the Champions and Europa League that scheduling for the domestic cups has also been altered.
This lad's had one of the best individual European campaigns of all time, and I'd never heard of him until he battered Villa

Neither deserved it based on this match , so seeing a Greek team win it for first time is OK
Next year third time lucky for Fioritina vs Chelsea

Per @Muppetiers
- Ten Hag still likely to leave
- James think McKenna was not the INEOS top choice
- Maresca was also on the shortlist before he went to Chelsea
- If Everton doesn't lower the price from £60-70m for Branthwaite, United will not sign him
- United need to move for Tosin because Newcastle is close to sign him, Chelsea are also interested
- Todibo still of interest from United
- Casemiro very likely to leave
- CDM big priority for 2 years now
- Šeško not likely to happen because of his release clause
- If we go for Toney question is how do we fit him and Hojlund. Still very likely to bring cheap striker to support Hojlund (Cavani type)
- Greenwood and Sancho likely to be sold
- Amass is very highly rated

Speaking of getting things done quickly, there were rumours that Zeno Debast was in our academy today.
It's been reported for awhile that it's done deal, he even said goodbye in tears to the Anderlecht fans in the last home match.

By Laboured Go To PostI'm still reeling from being reminded that they let Koeman be the Dutch NT manager again. Someone help these people.pls send help
By n8 dogg Go To Posthow are you being seriousBecause people are acting like it’s some sort of unfair thing for Etihad to sponsor them but the fact of the matter is in the negotiation Girona comes off worse realistically. They should be getting something like €5-10m a year at least but people can’t view a sponsorship like this with anything resembling lack of bias. They just immediately yell corruption!! Tariq Panja makes a living off that.

All it tells me is that Man City>Etihad>Girona in Abu Dhabi's priorities.
City fans seem to have actually convinced themselves that they're a respectable and unfairly targetted institution, I always thought it was just trolling and bluster until their response to the 115 charges. The more journalists talking about the corruption and back-handers in the sport, the better.

Nonsense, hitcher.
For example, their support for Melbourne City Football Club, Girona FC and (checks notes) other assortment of internationally sprinkled clubs is squarely rooted in their strong traditions and attractive football, not who their sponsor is. The implication that they'd defend everything City Group related out of some misguided, completely dishonest concept of loyalty to a slave state's business conglomerate is spurious at best m9.
How dare you.
