Was a beautiful game by Chelsea to destroy Man U in a game Man U probably didn't focus on but got molly whopped.

3-4-3 made the defense look far better. Rudi out wider and Zouma in middle(with one gaffe where he could have easily drawn a yellow/penalty but didn't).

Looks like Man City get Ake now beating out Chels and others.

Manchester City are set to beat Manchester United and Chelsea for Bournemouth defender Nathan Ake. Transfer Talk is LIVE with the latest.
Bummer ... former Chelsea academy player wish we had gotten first rights at sale in previous deal.

That should help us financially haha. Also pleased with the Man City result today. We're still up. Now we must win our last game and have Watford lose once more.

Well, you lot are going to be able to get him. VAR screwed us again on the offsides. There was a handball on Soton that they missed which should've offset.

VAR is so bad. It reminds me of 2006 or so when Vince Young knee was down before he lateraled for a touchdown. I always considered Bournemouth a tough opponent. Can’t be loved they will be moving down.

The 2 day rest could’ve definitely played into it but yes Frank has done well against good teams with 3 in the back. Blues cannot compete with four in the back traditionally with Fernandes, Rashford, Mane, and Saleh they’d get eaten alive. 4 in the back for 12 out of 19 teams lol Sheffield played well this season.

That’s okay. Surprised as Man City will probably splash on a new CB as well. Ake will be rotational?

Its so rubbish that we are likely going down after some bad VAR results. It's really a shame. We've played so hard lately, and really should have at least 4 more points in the last 4 matches that we've played, which would've had us in the safety zone.

Sorry about the relegation bud. I hope you bounce straight back but the Championship is such a cut throat league it's easier said than done.

Yeah, and we're in for a bit of a rebuild. Hopefully, we'll return to the premier league soon, but we will need to make a better team for ourselves.

In the meantime, I intend to pull for the Foxes and Saints while I await Bournemouth's return to the Premier League.
