Outclassed by the champions - it’s the end of the world…

Yeah I’ve read that on here too, but more specifically his wife hasn’t settled. I’m also totally unsure where this emanates from or if there’s any truth in it.
Apparently she misses the constant ‘state of emergency’ in France.
I may have made the last bit up.

Chelsea put 4 past Spurs the other day too and they are no mugs.

Wait a second, since when did people start listening to the bullshit rumours on here?

Ah, a quick search has found the source of the rumour… @dubai_phil
Assuming Puel’s missus let’s him stay another year allegedly
#notsettled
A rumour.
Unsubstantiated obviously but his wife isn’t settled here in England.
Other one is Bertrand was “less than happy” at treatment of Jose and is off.
Now, given that he doesn’t give a source, lives in Dubai, doesn’t know Claude Puel or his Mrs, is the only person I have heard say it, I’m going to say this is bullshit.
Its quite obvious that a lot of the crowd on the ‘other place’ have a personal dislike of Puel that is deeper than our results on the pitch.
The fact that we’ve just lost to the Champions elect by literally precisely the same scoreline as they beat their nearest rivals by a matter of days ago, and yet still somehow the ‘Puel out’ thread gets bumped sums it up for me.
Only caught the last 30 minutes as I had a late shift, but having the seen the highlights and got the lowdown from friends it sounds like what you’d expect.
We lost to a better team.
Who cared about it more than we do to boot.
Big deal.

Not sure what the big hoo ha is really.
They took off Fabregas (who I thought was MOTM) and put on Pedro.
They took off Hazard (probably the best player in the league) and brought on Willian.
That is a quality bench and a quality team.
Costa was awesome last night. Watch his second goal again. Top notch.
Fuck me they even gave the other players’ wives a night off and brought that cunt Terry on. Glad he got to see Bertrand score.
We just lacked a bit of class. Don’t think Stephens had a bad game bit VVD could have helped prevent the poor 15 minutes (end of 1st/beginning of second half) where the game was lost.
Watched on a stream so I didnt have to put up with the inane Sky /Chelsea reach around. Commentators there were pretty complimentary about Saints.
Glad we got the late goal because 4-1 would have flattered them.
And yes, midfield was a struggle. I thought we did better than most against Matic, Kante and Fabregas.
Upwards and onwards.

The RUMOUR was that his WIFE is unsettled in England. HTH. It came from our part of the world, not the usual TSW type sources, and no not gonna argue whether it is true or not, I simply posted that it was a rumour.
Glad I didn’t go down the Pub to watch until 1am that’s for sure. Far more important to be fresh to drink coffee tomorrow after an overnight flight 
(Oh and yes we are a long way away from SMS but we have a diverse bunch of Krew in diverse “industries”/professions.)
Our other rumours are fairly well known - Betrand was a mate of Jose and is hacked off at his treatment and will go, Shlong is hacked off with Puel and will go, JRod -well that ain’t a rumour it’s bloody obvious, The Chinese were not the first choice - some of Ralph’s mates were from the US.
Oh the other one? Never fly into Dubai when Eric is on duty at Air Traffic, unless you like going round in circles with a seat belt on.

For me its the style of football we play. There are four teams that play the same or similar tactics. The only difference is the names of the clubs and the quality of the individual players. Meaning we table will always reflect the order.
Bournmouth, Southampton, Arsenal and Man City
Given that over the space of a few seasons we regularly sell our best players playing the same style as richer teams is not a strategy to success in beating them. Its a strategy for mid table and a cup run.
It seems a lot of supporters are happy with this and good luck to them. Im not Im frustrated with it. I dont mind getting beat by the so called top 6, but not all of them in the same season. I think we can do better. The club just need to want to.

O’Leary, he was on a Chelsea wankfest all night long. Read my earlier comments on him!!
Another game where all the opposition’s shots on target result in goals - 4 shots on target, 4 goals - there’s got to be a common thread there surely?

apart from the excellent save that Forster made towards the end. Can’t remember who from, maybe Pedro

I didn’t watch game last night, but I’m not surprised to see Forster catching flak. Well, I am, I’m surprised to see him catching anything, but you know what I mean. That bro ain’t made enough saves this season. If he was paid per save, he’d be on less than fkn nurses. I’d offer Everton a two for one deal with cocoa martina.

Oh whoops, my mistake - I must have misread some stats somewhere. As you were everyone, nothing to see here…
We might not have a great record against the top six, but we stuffed Liverpool twice in a semi final, and that is good enough for me! Add in a mid table finish as well as a decent final and it hasnt been the worse season ever. Need to push on next season though. Losing Virgil has been a huge blow as was losing Gabbi when he was scoring for fun. Lets face it, if anyone had said we would still be competitive with Yoshi and Stephens at the back when the season started we could have had a TSW style meltdown!

I get the mid table finish being ok in a transition period. The problem is when you look at the points totals and where we are with that compared to other clubs. I mean Watford are considering their season as bad enough to change manager AGAIN. We are in around Stoke Crystal Palace and West Ham. The usual suspects and I suppose its Everton 18 points above us that is the problem. How did that happen?

Lukaku hasn’t missed a league game all season. Think that’s the main difference between us + Everton tbh. Hope they sell the cunt in the Summer.
