What an unpleasant lot the Chelsea players are. Even Colwill seems to have been tainted and has been an arse this game. Cucurella his usual annoying self and Caicedo overly aggressive.
Still in this while it’s 0-1. Another goal for them and it’s all over.
Thought we’ve done ok against a pumped up City. Need to keep at it and I think we’ll get a chance.
Seems like we are taking our time with Dunk, Baleba and Minteh. Expect our stance is to give them a further two weeks to recuperate with the International break. Won’t want Baleba or Minteh going on International duty.
Reckon we’ll play;
Verbruggen
Kadioglu, Veltman, JP VH, Dunk ( or Igor if Dunk not fit) Pervis
Baleba and Hinshelwood as the midfield pairing. Georginio, Welbeck and Mioma
Play a back five when we don’t have the ball ( like Sporting on Tuesday), and look to break on them.
Subs; Joao Pedro to...
A difficult first 11 games, with City next next followed by what should be a slightly easier run of games.
Whilst we have missed opportunities we have also won games by very narrow margins where we could have drawn or lost them. Newcastle, Man United and Spurs.
So, all in all, relatively happy...
Just heard that in fact what I said about income tax on inherited pensions is not right. The income tax rules will likely remain. So a form of double taxation.
That’s going to change from 2027. As pensions are now within the framework of IHT, the pension will be income tax free to the beneficiary ( even after age 75) so there is no element of double taxation.
