Flinkers

Everything I read here was that we had no recall option and the coach thought he had far better alternatives in the squad. I’m not sure if the loan was organised before Nagelsmann took over, but it’s certainly clear he didn’t rate him. We clearly underestimated how competitive Leipzig was going to be and the standard of the Bundesliga in general. A German team might be a decent bet for him again but he needs to drop down at least another tier to a team like Wolfsburg, Frankfurt or Hoffenheim. Mönchengladbach was an upper mid-table team when Christensen went there. A top 4 team won’t touch him. A team challenging for the top 4 won’t touch him. Personally speaking, I don’t think a team challenging for promotion from the Championship would take him either. But wherever he goes, he can’t be stuck for the whole season again.

Looks like they’re letting the planning permission lapse. https://chelseafc.app.link/VeHeRv54d5

Keep chucking those points away lads, I’m sure you’ll get another chance next week

We just love throwing away easy points, don’t we?

I don’t see the point of a result against Tottenham if you’re just going to throw the points away in the next game. Especially when they miles worse than you!

In fairness, a loan to the Bundesliga is a good step. Loaning him to Leipzig was incredibly poor planning and a pretty serious misjudgement with respect to the quality of their squad.

I think the cup-tied rule has been changed. Dealt with under Article 45 here BUt Hazard has just been diagnosed with a broken ankle and is out for a while - getting Bale out of Madrid probably got much harder.

Happy to hear you‘re doing better Mark!

The ref’s been pretty good in fairness. The two linos need a little more work. Very slow with the flag

Try firstrowsports. Used to be good for me

Anyone got a reliable link for this game? Used to watch legit on DAZN but they’ve lost the rights here in Germany to $ky. Not willing to pay €30 a month for a ticket to watch one game a week. Tried the soccerstreams reddit but can’t seem to see the links... Any help via PM would be much appreciated!

Belated Happy Birthday, Chara!!

The hardest part for me was the three days of no food after the procedure and waiting for the biopsy results - uncomfortable from the excision, nervous and tetchy from lack of food does not help one's mood at all!! Wishing you a speedy recovery, Mark!
