@sammy_ameobi @Kershaw444 Serious question, do you think you’d play your top boys if you progress but still in relegation danger? What would Marinakis instruct Pereira to do

@bdv10 @Kershaw444 I understand you want us knackered as such but our second string did better than a lot of first teamers tonight so more than happy with that!

Great result for Forest, into the next round they go after a long energy sapping night

@sammy_ameobi @Kershaw444 I completely get the adventure part of it and as a fan that’s what you’d want but I’m sure West Ham fans, Spurs fans and us are hoping it gives us an advantage in the relegation scrap

@bdv10 @Kershaw444 I’m really not too fussed. Further we get the better. Yeh it’s more travel and an extra game every few weeks but we are enjoying the adventure. Only like being in the FA cup or somet. Unbelievable memories these nights

@sammy_ameobi @Kershaw444 Still more travel than no travel. Whoever it is next the intensity goes up a notch at every stage. Also if it is a poor side it means another 4 games minimum with 2 of them being semi finals.

@bdv10 @Kershaw444 They’ll travel less time now than they will for a game in London or on the south coast. I hope it is Porto they look as poor tonight as they did when we beat them 2-0 a few months ago.

@sammy_ameobi @Kershaw444 They still all have to travel and go through match day routines. Also, not just about this game it’s the next round too where there’ll be more travel and 2 games against probably a tougher opponent.

@Kershaw444 I’m sure the second string lads are knackered tbf

@ChatForest1865 @SkySportsNews Put like that it does sound like 7 might do it but it only takes a weekend of results to go for you against you and it can all look so different. I’ve said it’ll take 42 this season for a while now and still think it will.

@SkySportsNews Forest fan in peace I think 7 pts does it for Leeds. Means both West Ham & Forest need 3 wins & 2 draws from last 8 which is unlikely. Forest have got to win 3 of their 4 home games (Villa, Burnley, Newcastle & Bournemouth) in my opinion & not lose to Spurs/Sunderland (a)

''Between six and eight points are needed'' Daniel Farke believes Leeds will prove they deserve to stay in the Premier League as he prepares Leeds for the visit of Brentford 🐝

@MickyPKerr @radio_bellers Sorry, I should’ve read your post more closely. Yes, completely agree. Regardless of UEFA’s messing with the format if you were to name your last 8 at start of tournament you’d probably get at least 6 correct.

@bdv10 @radio_bellers They all belong to the 5 other monopolies. It’s there or PL. We do over pay though yeah.

This narrative is so false and misleading. The monopolisation process feeds 5 teams outside the PL - that’s it. One of them just lost to Spurs who are in a relegation dog fight. Wolves would make the last 16 of the CL.

@MickyPKerr @radio_bellers I’d argue that some of the best young talent also not in PL .. Doue, Guler, Paz, Karl and would be surprised if we saw them

@radio_bellers Yeah, we’ve concentrated all the world’s best players and the football is negative and paranoid. That’s a wider cultural issue but the fact is that the PL outspends every other league combined. It would be way better if we cultivated more home grown talent instead.

@Matt_Pinner Beans

Remove one thing on this plate..

@SkySportsNews PSG … the team that got all the way to champions league final, the world club championship final and have many non European players haven’t had much rest either Liam.

"It's a reality of where the group are" 😬 Liam Rosenior reacts to Chelsea's humbling 3-0 loss to PSG, which sealed an 8-2 aggregate defeat in the Champions League, as Todd Boehly was pictured walking into the dressing room after the full-time whistle 👀

@KemiBadenoch Think you’d call this a U turn

I’m Keir Starmer’s biggest critic, but the war of words coming from the White House is childish.

@TheoCartz @henrywinter Everton and Forest presented their financial records and were given a points deduction

@henrywinter And I wonder Henry, if other PL clubs presented their financial records for the same period, do you think they would all come back clean?? This isn’t just a Chelsea issue.

At some point, senior Premier League execs have to offer a proper explanation in public for their leniency towards Chelsea. They owe an explanation to fans of clubs punished more harshly. They owe an explanation to those clubs who did abide by the rules. They have to offer some explanation as to why PSR breaches are deemed far more serious than acts of "deception and concealment". Yes, these are the offences of a previous regime at Chelsea. But inconsistencies run through the PL's defence and their reputation is damaged. They can’t hide from a controversy of this magnitude.

@radio_bellers @Diddlysquatv3 They have what many/most sides in the league don’t have …. very good forwards … Thiago Schade Outtara

@Diddlysquatv3 I don't particularly rate them tbh. But we will need to play well. They have some good players. Burnley were unlucky against them

Tell you what, if we gonna beat this Brentford side on satday neet we is gonna have to be at very top of our game. They’re a real good side. Only 4 points off top 4 when they win this. Best be up for it boys. MOT #LUFC

@henrywinter Now waiting for the PL to implement a rule about points sanctions for payments to unregistered agents

Best analysis of the situation I’ve read 🙌

@crharshath @henrywinter Not a fan of any of the clubs you’ve mentioned but can you give some examples of these horrible things that are against the rules that these clubs have done or are you just spewing unfounded accusations

@henrywinter All clubs are doing such things. You literally tapped an academy superstar and if you look at history clubs like Liverpool, united arsenal have done even more horrible things and got away with it.

@DeadlineDayLive More Breaking news … Chelsea absolutely pissing themselves laughing

🚨 𝗕𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗞𝗜𝗡𝗚: Chelsea have been handed a £10.75M fine for breaching Premier League rules related to financial reporting, third-party investment and youth development during the Roman Abramovich era. 👨‍⚖️💰 The club have also received an immediate 9-month academy transfer ban, plus a 1-year first-team transfer ban (suspended for two years). ⛔📋 (Source: @SkySports)

@RBMersey Over 11 years … PL have a lot to answer to

This is the punishment for 36 undisclosed payments worth £47.5m over 11 years relating to player transfers. Reminder: the Premier League wanted Everton deducted 12 points for a £19.5m FFP overspend and didn’t think a fine was a suitable punishment

@BluebirdJonny @asyouwereS6 They’re complaining about how much you spent, they’re complaining about their punishment compared to yours and every club self reports … it’s called submitting your accounts.

@asyouwereS6 Sheffield Wednesday fans where not complaining when they where spending more than they could afford and Chelsea self reported to get a lesser charge if they didnt report it they could of gotten away with it altogether it was never picked up in financial reports

Meanwhile Sheffield Wednesday will be docked another FIFTEEN points by the EFL next season for **checks notes** not paying £15m to the mental man who ran the club into administration and nearly extinction

@KieranMaguire @nffc_14 So stretching a point here is this a precedent that to avoid a points deduction for breaching PSR you can deal with unlicensed agents as the payments won’t show in accounts and then self report at the end of accounting period

@nffc_14 Because the payments were to people who were unlicenced agents and therefore could not be seen to have a relationship with such characters.

Interesting that in the Everton points deduction verdict the Premier League said “A financial penalty for a club that enjoys the support of a wealthy owner is not a sufficient penalty” and that “the requirements of deterrence, vindication of compliant clubs, and the protection of the integrity of the sport demand a sporting sanction in the form of a points deduction’. Presumably the Chelsea fine (which ultimately is just a deduction from what billion dollar Clearlake will pay to billionaire Abramovich from the £150m held back at the deal date) is then neither punishment, a deterrent or protecting the integrity of the sport? If I was an Everton or Forest fan would not be happy with this outcome.

@Kershaw444 Can’t say I had more than my doubts especially after Burnley away and Villa at home.

Start of the season most said 10 wins keeps us up but everyone acknowledge survival was going to be difficult especially after the transfer window closed without further signings. Farke has done a great job, to have us in contention for survival is more than I expected, yes we need a couple of wins, couple of draws to hit 40 points but if he keeps us up he has exceeded all my expectations when he arrived at Leeds #lufc
