Apart from Vardy and Maguire, the squad is average.
Agree mate. Glad you're finally getting rid of the hate.

His hip problem last time.
It's a shame we've got such a small pool of talent so we can't fuck players off not concerned with playing.
oh, thought you meant this time around

I'd like to know how many of these 'injuries' are going to be for two weeks. We're producing another generation of shy aways.
When Raheem Sterling did it at the start of last season that should have been Southgates moment to make an example of someone. Now this horrible precedent has been set and we've seen the likes of Vardy and Alli follow suit.
convenient that Kane and Winks miss out just before a big game against Arsenal
Also, Vardy?

Harry Winks drops out of England squad. Disappointing as I was looking forward to seeing him against teams like Germany and Brazil.

I'm hoping to have a mortgage by the end of next year.
Previously renting, the girlfriend and I are now staying at her parents house which is saving us an absolute fortune although not the ideal situation after experiencing the freedom of your own place for almost 2 years.
Journey time to work doubled although managed to get myself a diesel to keep fuel costs down as well.
how do you keep her quiet at night

Cahill got injured last night
Saw that! Tara Rushden at half time said it wasn't serious then the guy at the end said it doesn't look good for next week
He was walking and running it off soon after and out of the stadium so I don't think it's that bad. Maybe the second leg he'll be fully fit. Quite disappointed with the game in general yesterday though. Quite a tactical affair and for 2 teams on top there wasn't that much good football on.
Newcastle Jets looking surprisingly good so far this season.

Has Conte lost the dressing room? Unrest at Chelsea?
QuoteAntonio Conte gave his Chelsea players the full hairdryer treatment during an angry inquest into their second-half surrender in Rome and warned it can never happen again.
Ahead of Sunday’s visit of Manchester United, head coach Conte made it clear that any players who do not follow his orders will be left out and he made examples of some of the worst offenders.
Barely anybody escaped the dressing down and even Kenedy, who was an unused substitute during the 3-0 Champions League defeat to Roma, received a lecture after being caught yawning during the meeting at Chelsea’s Cobham training ground.
As revealed in Telegraph Sport a fortnight ago, Conte has become concerned by the behaviour of some his players in recent weeks.
David Luiz was ticked off for his reaction to being substituted in the home draw against Roma after which Conte told his players they must stick together. Charly Musonda was also slapped over the wrists for complaining about a lack of first-team opportunities on Instagram.
But, with his pride dented after being beaten 3-0 on his first return to his native Italy as a manager since leaving his post with the national team, Conte’s patience snapped as he attempts to get his players ready for the visit of United and former Blues manager Jose Mourinho.
Conte accused them of failing to take responsibility on the pitch during the second half in Rome, having substituted captain Gary Cahill in the 56th minute.
He was particularly dismayed by the standard of defending, which has since been mocked on social media. Having switched Cahill to the right side of the back three, Conte was made to look like he had blundered in front of the Roma fans, who took great joy in getting one over the former Juventus player and manager.
Despite the fact many people have predicted it is Conte’s future on the line, the Italian made it clear to his players that he is not fearful of the sack by promising to drop anybody who does not show an immediate improvement.
Conte has already proved that he is not afraid to take on his stars after reminding Diego Costa he was no longer part of his plans in a text message during the summer.
Having defended his players following defeats this season, Conte publically accused them of lacking motivation and hunger against Roma – two things that were the trademark of last season’s Premier League title success.
Chelsea blamed “palpable discord between manager and players” for the decision to dismiss Mourinho in 2015, but, crucially, Conte retains the board’s backing.
They are sympathetic of the fact that Conte’s squad has been hit by injuries and suspensions, and there is also a level of acceptance that the summer transfer window could have gone better.
Wonder what kind of reaction we'll see on Sunday against Utd.
