Yes it would. That plus the referee payments Barcelona is accused of would seriously tarnish his legacy.

Lukaku has to be top of this list, particularly the Chelsea version. Too early to judge Mudryk. Pogba second. Antony I think will be on the list. Grealish is a huge disappointment. Honestly don’t think Maguire is a flop.

Mourinho

Some of them. I rooted for West Ham last year and I hope they and Brighton do well. Liverpool? Nfw.

Not likely. Liverpool look good but aren’t quite there yet. Arsenal will falter. Another one horse race, I think.

The race for the other top 4 place will be the most interesting. Villa, Spurs, Newcastle, Man United, Chelsea all contenders.

What would you do to restart after the ball goes out of play? Throwins can be useful in the attacking half as you can’t be offside from one.

Juergen Klopp having a moan? Surely not.

Pogba. Lukaku x2. Grealish. João Felix.

Agree. Great player and I hope it works. Liverpool wanted him. United needed a Szoboslai type.

Most of Chelsea’s post Boehly business

Power Play like they have for under 10s football. You get an extra player if you’re getting pumped.

More than the price to pay out his contract. The loss of reputation, likelihood of getting a new manager, reshuffling the squad (again), running with an interim…

Who else would be better? There comes a point where these teams just can’t compete. He did incredibly last year and I don’t think has lost the players. They’re just outclassed.

Awards ceremonies are generally dull. It’s a logistics exercise punctuated by meaningless platitudes from dull people. It needed Ricky Gervais to compere.

Having a second, non rival team is fine and supporting your local non league is brilliant.
