Cringe.

Conte breaks records as @GeoffreyBoycott can’t bring himself to get over his xenophobia.

Or to read the news that broke during the week!

He’s actually been excellent against the top teams this year, but he’s not suited to a game where his team have to chase it

Six goals and nine assists in 33 league games this season. Not a bad return from midfield for him

2490.7m

how long has that deal been in place? I find it odd how some teams who get relegated really do freefall even further once out of the EPL. If they are going into the Championship with that sort of ammunition behind them, jettison off their lazy over paid arseholes and pick up some better value players and they should be able to give a good go at getting back up. Seeing the likes of Blackpool, Blackburn, Wigan, out of the Championship and QPR, Birmingham, Wolves struggle shouldnt be happening after being relegated. Seems they keep on the over inflated wages of the EPL player when they go back down and are seriously disjointed.

I presume lack of relegation clauses in contracts fuck up a lot of clubs, and general mismanagement. Allied to good structures in Clubs coming up, with probably money behind them, means that once you go down, you can struggle to get the mentality right to fight to come back up.

In the last six years only two teams have come straight back up, Burnley and Newcastle

Interesting that Liverpool had so many televised games this season, generating £1m more than any other club. Klopp is truly box office, showing his salary worth in more than one way

No European football was certainly a huge advantage in this case as it meant Sky could do what they liked with Liverpool.

Ah Matty, I was just trying to stir some shit. There’s lads here who get notifications every time Klopp’s name is mentioned

A decent sort too he is:
