I like the takes on the Chelsea and Liverpool logos there but that Man City one is awful.

Best performance yet! Spent ages trying to think of an actual word to even enter, which ended up being a total punt that paid off.

Lewis Hall looks to be a little bit good.

He did incredibly well. Staying engaged after he lost the ball to win it back and set up Lukaku's goal was brilliant play.

Happy with this first attempt.

I can understand Sean Dyche wanting to kick Covid's arse but what did Pep do to him?

Now I'm trying to think who the best coach has been out of Chelsea players from the 90s (not counting the player-managers from the time).

Steve Clarke? Di Matteo?

I have a suspicion that the answer might secretly be Jody Morris.

I think you're forgetting World Cup winning Didier Deschamps...

Dan Petrescu seems to have a surprisingly good managerial honours record on Wikipedia, considering he's only lasted three years in a job once.

I know he isn't a 90s Utd player but Carrick seemed to have something decent about him. I reckon he'll end up getting a job with a mid/low table Premier League side, perhaps even as low as the Championship, and do a better job than Lampard seemed to.

Once I was playing as Ballymoney Utd (Northern Irish 1st Division) on FM12 and was forced by my parent club, Coleraine, to loan them my star left winger for a season. I can't remember exactly what the game said but I certainly didn't have the option to prevent it.

Looking forward to the U23s getting another opportunity against Chesterfield.

Hopefully Senegal do awfully in the African Cup of Nations so we get Mendy back swiftly.

The talent of the writers isn't the problem. The problem is it's a hastily churned out song about how bad it is in generic "Africa" sung by mostly white and largely British performers. It's also the prime example of a celebrity led charity drives. Which are more about making the people involved look good than actually doing anything to help their intended targets.

Similarly the hoo-ha about these shit Ladbaby songs every year.

Ipswich losing 2-0 to Barrow on ITV4 right now. Oh dear.

What was he actually asking? Something about how well Villa did against Norwich?

I tuned in to see the final result but there were 6mins of injury time. Usually when I watch Chelsea games they underperform. Zenit scored the equaliser in that time I was watching. Sorry @stokeriño

I wouldn't be surprised if Carrick gets some lower league teams begging him to join them after that impressive caretaker run.

Very interesting that one of Italy or Portugal won't be making it to the World Cup.

I've seen an edit that kept the black outline around the shield, which I rather liked. The yellow and green touching each other without a separator or fade irks me, which is why I've disliked the last 2 kits.

Interestingly, the guy who runs a marketing agency that let me go in January for "not being good enough" (when they didn't provide any of the training and support they promised for a job I had no experience in) is complaining on socials that the club didn't work with a local agency on this. Pretty sure I've read an article saying that the London-based agency they did use have worked with numerous other PL clubs, so that was probably more of a factor than "hurr durr location".

I only saw that the tweet above was from Newcastle Utd while reading the earlier piece about Eddie Howe wanting to build the team around Shelvey, and assumed that it was an "Eddie Howe has left the club by mutual consent" announcement.

Watched Shang-Chi tonight and it may just have cracked my top 5 MCU films.

Bit closer to home than Glasgow though.

Spurs should've waited for Poch to leave PSG and then offered him whatever he wanted to come back.

There's no chance Spurs get Conte when they couldn't get him at the start of the season. Any viable long-term replacement for Nuno will be a lower quality manager who's prepared to accept that the opportunity comes with a broken team, poor business management, and a good chance of being sacked before getting a chance to improve the squad.
