It is pretty wrong, if he is found guilty will he get 10 months with a suspended sentence like Tonali? or do the FA go softer and give like 6 with a suspended 6.
I think they'll go harder.

That can't be all there is though as it doesn't say much. If they have evidence of him betting that he'll get a yellow or anything like that, then it's a wrap.
Seems like they do

If he wasn't being charged, no one would think anything of these incidents other than he's a bit rash. So the incidents by themselves don't really reveal too much. Will be interesting to see the evidence The FA have as that's probably much more damning.
That must be part of the evidence, surely? As in they're literally 4 of the offences referenced by the FA.

Feel like it's too much of a gamble for Chelsea to go with Maresca. He has flaws, some of which were criminally exposed last season. Extremely stubborn in his tactics, and if Chelsea are looking for someone adaptable, then he's not the man. The one huge plus Chelsea have over us (and pretty much any team) is that he'll be given copious amounts of dough to spend however he likes. I don't know what the structure is at Chelsea and whether the manager even has a big enough say in it, but you can probably sensible assume he'll have a decent input into players they can buy.
It's a bit of a wild gamble for Chelsea to make considering the calibre of managers they've had in the past, even if they do change them regularly. Even with his success with us last season, I'd have still not thought he makes such a big jump considering his inexperience as a manager. It's only been 1 year but I'll be fairly down if he does leave as I was looking forward to the project he had begun and being able to galvanise the team after a relegation. He managed to get players back in favour or get the best out of them after they slumped and had a hand in that relegation (Vestergaard, Ndidi for example.
I don't think they'd improve on a 6th-place if he was hired and I wonder how he'll handle the pressure. It appeared to get to him in the slump we had, and that kind of slump gets exacerbated several times over in the Premier League. I'd have thought other managers would be available that are more fitting for the job?
I still can't understand Chelsea sacking Pochettino, let alone who the new manager is that they'll opt for.
I hope Maresca stays with us, but I wouldn't begrudge him a move to Chelsea so soon in his career. I just don't think it's the right time for club or person...

Leverkusen had an unreal season, but to lose the last game is going to be an absolute kick in the nuts and undermines the hard work. Sure they won the Bundesliga, but winning the Europa would have been worth a lot more.
It doesn't undermine anything
Winning the Bundesliga is more than the Europa.

Lookman will deservedly get the plaudits but Ederson is an unsung hero. Pressed effectively in midfield for Atalanta along with Koopmeiners. Dominated.

Delighted for Atalanta, and especially Lookman.
All the attention (rightly to an extent) on Leverkusen, felt like Atalanta never got a look in pre-game but they've absolutely blown Leverkusen away. Credit to Gasperini for nailing tonight.
Leverkusen have still had a stellar season and one more final to compete in on Saturday!

Is that the Leicester City Lookman?
Yep. Could have bought him. Didn't. Bad decision as I think he did well for us. Very well suited for this system.
Gasperini has aued a blinder.
1 hour ago, Rick said:What is going on with Leverkusen?
Bad starting formation. Decision not to play a striker is odd. Not sure if it's something they did regularly in Bundesliga but to not play at least one of Boniface or Schick was surprising.
Plus they haven't been able to cope with Atalanta's high and aggressive pressing. Gasperini tactics spot on and credit to the players for sticking with it for so long as many teams tire with this level of press high up the pitch.
-
Hat trick for Lookman!
Absolutely superb performance and quality goals.
-
Lookman again. Atalanta been quality with their pressing.
-
Lookman scores! Bad defending from Palacios not to be aware he was there coming in.

Seeing he helped me win Rando's LMS game I will go for France's Wissam Ben Yedder with Lukuku and Mbappe right up his arse.
I am useless at these games so I can always try.
Might be a difficult one, that, as Ben Yedder isn't in France's squad...

Seems likely then.
'diaries being cleared' apparently too.

Genuine question: Wouldn't that be pretty dumb from the Tories given the latest polls? You'd think they'd wait as long as possible with the next GE since they're looking like losing them with a bang!
Edit: Ignore just saw the last GE was 2019 , for some reason thought it had been later.
Yep, latest they can leave it is January 2025.
I'd be surprised if it was early July.
Think the earliest it'd be is Aug/Sept, but knowing how Tories like to double/triple-down, they'll just kick the can down the road and perhaps wait til Nov/Dec.

Ben Doak is a massive surprise, and I suspect he'll be culled in the final squad. Midfield is fairly strong.
