As an aside, here is the best all-time PL Chelsea team in my humble opinion (although I am crying inside that I cannot fit Zola into this side): GK Cech There were decisions players didn’t agree with, but at the end of the day, I can only go with what I (think I) saw. I agree with them. I would never have given that in a game. ATM Lampard Having watched England trip past Lithuania they're now going to try and convince Paul Scholes to come out of retirement. Tomkins – Chris Coleman made the club’s Centenary 11 and that’s good enough for me. I don’t know how much authority Pierluigi Collina (the UEFA referees chief) has to enforce changes with regard to VAR use here but if I were in his position I would prevent PL referees from being selected for Champions League games until such time that the PL officials are brought in line with officials in other leagues, who use VAR to the full.

Manchester United cannot carry on like this.

The problem of racism in football is going nowhere soon and, as the events during the Haringey Borough v Yeovil Town game show us, is likely to rear its head pretty much anywhere.

Bar the mistake against Norwich these goals all contributed to the result, be it Ayews winner for Palace or equalisers in comebacks for Spurs and Arsenal.

According to premier league statistics he has made as many tackles as he has errors leading to goals (2). FOR Robben No, then it’s Glen Murray. More importantly, someone needs to ask the non-white players in the England squad that night what they think about walking off in protest in the face of racism. That scout, Lee Satchell, was reportedly impressed sufficiently to recommend attempting to convince Scholes to play at the 2018 World Cup in Russia. Let the managers have one or two challenges per half, for which the ref HAS to go to the pitch side screen to do a check.


After reading the mail by Calum, (Liverpool to win by 3 or more) MUFC, Wokingham, I had a look at the understat data for 2018/19 and found that Liverpool scored 9.54 more goals than they should have, conceded 7.15 less and got 13.55 points more than they should have. Sakho – yeah big Mamadou keeps his place – assuming he’s not injured. Fans, players, managers, pundits, commentators etc.

Guita – impeccable since taking the gloves while Wayne goes off to sit GCSE history but I’m afraid Speroni gets the nod.

If they really want to critique and want to see the club back where it belongs they need to get real and stop this self sucking sucking cycle. I personally think Mascherano at his peak was better than current Fabinho but I’ll leave it up to you as the latter has plenty of time to improve.

Scholes, who retired for a second time back in 2013, faced some of the greatest players world football has ever seen during his career, such as the likes of Ronaldinho, Lionel Messi, Thierry Henry and Steven Gerrard. Marc (London) would like to know if silvas reputation has any bearing on our opinion of him.

ALL QUOTES IN THIS ARTICLE ARE MADE UP FOR THE PURPOSE OF A CHEAP LAUGH. So, what is the solution? Ayew – I’m gonna controversially pick Andy Johnson here. Yash, MUFC (if I hear another when Fergie was here…).

From a more observational perspective I felt he was making some clear errors in defence (notably one on one duals when balls are played into the channel and closing down attaching midfielders/shots from outside the box) and having rewatched games I feel he has had a hand in Villa conceding/potentially conceding a goal in 6 of their 8 games this season. Did they feel pressured into playing on out of fear that they’d be letting down their teammates and considered pushovers? RB Ivanovic I find it interesting that both Sterling and Mings have taken to Twitter to publicly support the walk off yesterday during the Haringey game. Scholes at 42 still offers more than some lads in their prime. Suarez, I don’t understand the insane hype around all the Liverpool players right now.

They would not. Needed to happen for a while, 3- Silva still leaves it too late with subs, So no, reputation certainly has no bearing on my opinion of him, there are many more tangible and logical things to judge him on.

I seem to recall before the season started United fans crowing in the mailbox about what a good season they were going to have.

With the luxury of slow-mo, I say hand-ball, but technically only. But those who failed really made an art form of it. Sterling, in fact, tweeted “more of this”. Well Mike, LFC, London, it would be easy for me to suggest Ngolo Kante as that one player I wouldn’t swap for anyone else in the Premier League Era of Chelsea players, Claude Makelele is still the king of the DM role in my opinion, however I am going to twist this question on its head and say Mason Mount, now you could argue there are many a top midfielder Chelsea have had in recent years that are much better than Mount, but the huge potential he has to become a big piece of this Chelsea side under Lampard, the fact he is from our academy and we haven’t had a player feature long term in our XI since John Terry, it gives such a positive vibe amongst the fans, something the club has not had in many years, so for the potential, the positive vibe and the fact he is an academy player, I choose him. Tottenham absolutely should. The trip on Jonny Evans was correctly a foul, although any ref seeing that clearly enough in real time to disallow the goal is either amazing or lucky.

Ward – sorry Joel you’re an outstanding servant but would a team pay £50m for you? Take some of the responsibility away from the ref and the VAR people maybe. Walk offs ultimately hurt the brand and revenue the administrators fight so hard to protect.

“So Gareth sent me down to see what state Paul was in. What is a Premier League deal sheet and when must Arsenal submit it for Thomas Partey transfer? But they can also storm the pitch or chuck debris onto it. I don’t think they’d be struggling.
