Would generally always want Chelsea to lose. But removing Villa from the competition would be helpful. IF we get past Wolves, would rather be facing Chelsea than Villa.
Agree, but would go further. Irrespective of whether or not it makes him a better player for brighton I just want him to win. He seems like a good lad. Works hard. Had an interesting path to where he is. And is one of us. That's enough for me. Go Simon!
I suppose your take on whether the (threatened) tightening up on implementation of FFP rules is the 'right' solution depends on what you think the problem is to start with. If it's just about clubs not getting into debt and not spending more than they can afford then yeah, you'll see the...
In principle I agree 100%. Let them sod off and do their own thing, so we can all get on with running a proper, competitive, passionate, league.

Only tongue in cheek in terms of being based in Saudi. But I am sure they are manouvering to be involved in some way - and very obviously seeking to build one or two teams of overpaid, ethically challenged, ex-'superstars' that will be box office (eg have players that TV viewers in India and the...

I don't have a particular axe to Grind on this. I am not veggie, let alone vegan. I do think we need to collectively eat less meat and dairy, but I am not a massive fan of the obsession with trying to recreate meat, instead of concentrating on how tasty non-meat products can be.
But, given what...
I mean...it's ALL a bit 'meh' isn't it? I understand roast dinners are a tradition for many, and a good way to get the family around the table at least once a week. Which is important. But as food? Barely counts as cooking really. More an excercise in logistics. A lot of effort for little...
True up to a point...
