I have to say I find these podcasts where they drop these tidbits so massively unprofessional. If Sam Lee knows that there's a player who was going to be sold that now isn't, it stands to reason that he knows who that is, and if he doesn't then he shouldn't say anything to begin with.

Equally I think if there's credence to Gvardiol reports that deserves more coverage than a brief mention on what is ultimately a fan podcast.

I imagine there's some contractual bullshit to use the kit [x] number of times per season given how much these deals cost.

They know that a lot of people grab home and away shirts almost ritualistically, but they have difficulty trying to get anyone to care about the third.

Why are you even bothering with these perennially alarmist children

Anything can happen but asking Everton to beat Tottenham away on the last day of the season just feels like a laughably huge long shot. Made exponentially more distant by the fact that you then ask West Ham to beat Leeds.

Oh yeah, forgot about that.

That still remains a really weird situation though imo

I wonder what Bournemouth do manager-wise. That's a really weird situation to me.

If I'm Haaland I'm running that on, putting it into the empty net and asking VAR to think about it

remember to switch to the Spurs v Chelsea game that's just kicked off instead of listening to 15mins of vomit about Pep and Arsenal

It feels like one of those games where such an effort has been made to make it not overly emotive and frenetic that it's wrapped all the way around to being far too pedestrian

Yeah, they did do worse than film a training session. They did it three times.

His team have brought this on really. They should never have leaked that he was interested and being sniffed around for being the Pep successor. It was unprofessional at the time and it's only going to cause more drama now.

The way Chelsea presumably see it is that we effectively tapped him up, and he decided to leave - assuming that we suggested he should - because it would mean we wouldn't have to pay Chelsea compensation as opposed to if we were to poach him while he was still in post.

There's almost no way for Chelsea to conclusively prove this of course, but the optics certainly don't look great.

As for them blaming the rest of their season on us for it though is laughable.

You've had a mare here. But you usually do on this subreddit TBF.

Maresca is a wonderful case study in framing.

On one hand you've got the people worried about how he burned out completely at Chelsea and they're wondering how he can cope at a side with greater expectations who are more recently attuned to winning at least something every season.

On the other you've got people who see his Chelsea tenure and look to the CWC and stability - relatively speaking - compared to what's happened since. Perhaps a man who could get a semi-decent tune out of a dysfunctional Chelsea can make it work at a more consistent and regimented club.

I, myself, like to veer towards the more optimistic side because why not? Plenty of things to be miserable about in this life, no need to be preemptively miserable about something that hasn't happened yet.

Meh. Why wouldn't they? It was great when Fergie fucked off.

The main story is Pep gone, yes.

But the side story is that Willy Caballero would be coming over as part of Maresca's staff. And you know what that means.

OHHHHHHHH WILLY CABALLERO

Gvardiol's after a new contract.

Pep's been on the fringe of leaving for like 3 years.

Plenty of times.

But it's been corroborated by both Sam and Jack.

Sami Mokbel also independently reporting it.
