They’ll appeal it and be successful.

Yup. Bit of a waste of time and Chelsea will have known as much.

This is a FIFA ban, not a pussy English FA one

Barcelona and Real didn't get far with their appeals for something similar, so don't see why Chelsea will

Barcelona managed to get it delayed for a year, so then bought a shit load of players.

Wasnt Barcelonas a registration ban?

As in they could still sign players but couldn't register them.

Isn't that essentially the same thing?

 

[M17TT C]

Isn't that essentially the same thing?

Not really as they still signed Arda Turan from Athletico but he couldn't play until the ban had ended.

Made it a bit pointless really as it still didn't stop them being able to pinch one of their rivals top players.

Anyway, it seems like Cardiff are giving their best efforts of claiming that last relegation spot.

4 nil down at home to Watford now.

Proper seventh place team performance.

Proper seventh place team performance.

Watford can't possibly be 7th as they're still in the fa cup. It's impossible for anyone outside the top 6 to play extra games and not get relegated.

Spurs showing what a bunch of bottlers they are! Hilarious!

It's a deliberate way of avoiding them having big egos. Very smart.

 

[Miles Away]

I love watching spurs disintegrate. One of the last true pleasures in football available to me.

If Fulham get relegated, does Claudio become the first manager to be the one to have a team relegated and a team win it?

Depends what you mean by "it". If you're talking about the Premier League, I can't think of one. But it's close. Howard Wilkinson got Sunderland relegated, after he'd won the title with Leeds the year before the prem started.

Wilf Wild. Same team though. ManC.

Probably not that rare in the time before football was invented. Clough managed it with Forest

I was yes. Interesting. Not in the 'premier league' era yet though? When was the Man City one?

1937/38. The season after they won it.

Thanks! I knew it was just after they won it, loads of people were saying we were going to do the same after we won if I remember correctly?

Huddersfield beat Wolves with a last min goal to ensure they beat Derby's low points record.

Cardiff now in free fall and doing their best to make it a quick return for the 3 promoted teams.
