Delighted to see that Chelsea are up to 4th in the table, having only spent £278.4 Million in the summer on players, and having had to resort to nicking the manager of a rival team, along with virtually their entire coaching / backroom staff, in order to win some matches. I'm not bitter !

[Football] Massive congrats to Chelsea.

What? You don't think Chelsea are good enough to be called our rivals?

No difference to City, Arsenal, Spurs, Man Utd and Liverpool. All spend some insane amounts of money to nick the best talent they can. It really is 2 leagues the PL.

It does grind my gears hearing Klopp whine about not being able to compete with City and mentioning the rise of Newcastle as well, talk about a lack of self-awareness, welcome to the world of 99.9% of football clubs you sour dickhead, it won’t stop your club cherry picking whoever you want from us lesser clubs and us having to just suck it up.

Unfortunately, that's business, CM.
If it's any consolation, I think we do have the moral high ground over the lot of them.

Your gears are facing an unnecessary battering.
He’s telling the truth. The owners don’t put in a dollar to subsidise fees and wages. They’ve spent a third of both Manc clubs. The eighth biggest fees net spend. Here are the facts.
We all know that a small band of clubs across Europe are financially cheating on an industrial scale.
Newcastle are a bad example to quote. The murderers are on a huge spending spree way in excess of true income.

Agents and savvy selling clubs have dined out on Villa and Everton for years.

Potter was the another way, the whole thing was built around Potter developing players to be sold for profit whilst keeping the club in the PL. Interesting to see what the approach is to be now.

Exactly the same. Whilst Potter was important we’re a bit better run than just leaving our success or failure down to one bloke.
The day we stop providing top 4/5 clubs with quality players and management will be a sad one in reality. That's the day we stop punching so far above our weight.
That said, I don't give a shit how Chelsea do. I refuse to wish him well because I hate Chelsea and what they've done to our club. And if they fail, it simply means Man City (and their irritating entitled "fans") or Liverpool/United (with their clueless armchair support) or the nouveau riche Bone Sawdies have beaten them instead.
I will certainly chuckle heartily when it all goes very wrong at Stamford Bridge though. In fact my tits will fall off.

True we poached GP out of season and RZB was a free agent and we help develop young talent etc But what is that saying about nice people and their finishing position.

I seem to recall RDZ having a pretty good track record at that too. No, I can't remember where I saw it or who it was. And no, I can't be arsed to look. You'll just have to take my word for it
