    Next 3 games points

    Absolutely agree. We can't afford any more defeats. The moment we lose the season is over. 13/15 points is the absolute minimum we can take and have any chance of finishing top six. And even then we'd need Norwich to lose 3/5 (very unlikely due to a favourable run of fixtures) and Coventry to...

    How many points will be needed for the playoffs?

    70 points won't be enough this year. One of either Norwich or Hull will pick up 4 wins from 9 needed to reach that mark. And with their superior goal differences (less so Hull) that would mean we need to pick up 18 points at least (6 wins from 9). For context Norwich have 17 points from their...

    Is it Tuesday night yet

    Here's some of the away friendly pubs in the Earls Court area that MSS have recommended. The Prince of Teck, SW5 9RQ The Courtfield, SW5 9AN The Earls Court Tavern, SW5 9RL *If you are travelling from Earls Court to Stamford Bridge, we recommend walking due to large crowd queuing at the station.

    Hotels for Chelsea

    Some Chelsea fans we met on Tuesday night suggest Courtfield by Earls Court station. Based on previous experience I'd probably get a drink somewhere central/Earls Court and then quick trip across on the tube to Fulham Broadway where the ground is.

    Premier League v Championship

    To look at it the other way and the teams who came up each year and how they fared. 92/93 - Blackburn (4th) 7 years, Ipswich (16th) 3 years, Middlesbrough (21st) 1 year 93/94 - Newcastle (3rd) 16 years, West Ham (13th) 10 years, Swindon (22nd) 1 year 02/03 - Man City (9th) 22 years and...

    The poor kid killed by a dog

    Another dog attack on a child. https://metro.co.uk/2023/09/15/walsall-dog-attack-ten-year-old-boy-playing-football-19504434/?ito=article.desktop.share.top.link

    Team for Coventry

    Without new signings or improvements on the injury front then I'd go with the following. Dieng McNair Fry Lenihan Coulson Howson (Barlaser if Howson isn't ready for the full 90 minutes) Hackney Jones McGree Silvera Forss We need a proper finisher up top and some agile/quick players...

    North Devon

    I would recommend Lynton and Lynmouth as well. Woolacombe beach was lovely and big but can get really busy in summer. Croyde beach (slightly to the south) is like a mini-Woolacombe if you want a bit more space to yourself. We also went sea kayaking from Combe Martin beach which was really fun...

    Frustrating results when you look back

    The first two I can take given circumstances at the time. Ignore where they are now because QPR were red hot at the start of the season (top two going into the end of October) and up until the start of 2023 it looked like a fairly average result. A game we could always possibly lose and...

    Discussions to take place about domestic cup competitions

    We're not at the same level as those teams through. As it stands currently, with Boro as a better than average Championship team, we have no realistic chance of winning the League Cup. The reserve teams of top six clubs are more likely to win it, as are half of the Prem teams (if they decide to...

    FA Cup lost appeal?

    This is a great point. Three all Prem ties. I can almost understand the City v Chelsea one as it's two big teams. but no reason for Man Utd's of Liverpool's games to be on. FRIDAY 6 JANUARY 2023 • Manchester United v Everton at 8pm on ITV1, ITVX, UTV, STV and STV Player SATURDAY 7 JANUARY 2023...

    100 minute football

    Agree with this completely. You either do what they're doing during this tournament and actually add on the right amount of stoppage time for all the breaks (substitutions, goal celebrations, corners, booking etc). Or you change football to be a 60-minute game where you stop the clock every...

    So, how many Man United players in January?

    Garner joined Everton permanently for £9m

    Our possession and shots on target stats this season

    I'd say looking at this, and having watched some of these games, our results should look closer to this. Boro - West Brom - DRAW (Watmore misses that glaring chance but West Brom also created opportunities to win) QPR - Boro - DRAW (by sounds of it we battered them second half and were unlucky...

    Joe Lumley

    We loaned Geremi from Real Madrid. He joined Chelsea after his season with us in the summer of 2003.
