Conclusion: sack everyone.

and yet when Liam Rosenior says things like this, everyone laughs

@NiceGuyKenny Also the numerous factors, which likely include luck as well as business skill, in one field often don’t translate to a different one. And very rarely when it comes to football

People will tell you billionaires don’t get to where they are by being bad businessmen and they’re right but they also tend to be extremely narcissistic and think that they can make a success of anything they try and the worrying thing is that they quite often get it badly wrong.

The replies on this are gorgeous

That quote about Chelsea “obviously” building the best team in the world is the new ‘the old Chelsea was really badly run”

@iCodAgain Thank goodness I’m back in your good graces. The Crypto Cod was losing me trillions

@MrNickClark Oh my God, but I love you

We’ve gone from a keeper who can save but can’t pass to one who can do neither. Well down for picking him on the biggest game of the season.

Not even the first time this SEASON that the football commentary community has decided that the laws of the game should be sacrificed at the altar of the narrative - with Chelsea as the proposed victims in both cases.

@OllieGlanvill From recent reports we seem to be going for volume of back room hires over quality. Let’s hope this new GK coach can send Bob in the right direction again

@MrNickClark Sort of. Maresca and de Bernardin simplified Sanchez’s responsibilities in line with where he’s most effective. Quick, medium/long distribution on ball+high claims/ shot stopping off ball. Reintro of Roberts seems to have muddied things again. But now we’ve hired another GK coach

We know Penders is back in Summer. Going to be an interesting time heading into next season

@OllieGlanvill But towards the end of Maresca's (lamented) reign, they'd found a way for his playing out not to hurt us. The one negative in Rosenoir's ledger vs his predecessor is that he's seemingly undone all that

@MrNickClark Sanchez’s best trait by far is high claims and somehow we’ve seemingly found a way to work against it. His shot stopping% has been very decent for a while too. It’s just his decision making on the ball that continues to cost him and us

@OllieGlanvill Oh I totally agree. Just as I was coming round to Sanchez - a big bloke making worldie saves and actually catching crosses, he seems to have gone backwards. But ideally Penders gets more experience. Is he ready to be in the middle of an Arsenal corner melee?

@MrNickClark And yet you’d probably say same thing watching our keepers each week. Reality is both could go and another come in with Penders understudy. Don’t see how with the data available you can really back any of them fully

This week’s London Theatre Review is OUT: we argue over Evening All Afternoon, read the rites on Bird Grove, plus there’s an interview with the formidable Maggie Siff and 5Qs with the estimable Nancy Carroll londontheatrereview.co.uk

I think the premier league should skip the actual match and have each team just take 5 corners each to decide the winner

If this was the other way around, a whole media and podcast campaign would ensue for weeks, yet this is what oppo deals with most weeks and gets nothing.

PGMOL might as well announce that teams who are battling for the Premier League title will not be penalized by VAR. Seen it way too often in recent seasons.

I don’t want my tax being spent on facilitating the return of these extremists from Dubai to the UK. They clearly despise our culture and way of life and they should seek refuge in the first safe country they arrive in. Am I doing this right?🤔
