    Great come from behind victory by Aston Villla against Chelsea yesterday to win 2-1.

    Marco Asensio with two goals and Marcus Rashford with two asssits. Both looking like £80m+ players. Thanks PSG and thank you Manure!

    Villa were worth that win.

    We (Chelsea) are finished as of right now. I genuinely think we will end up 10th..... For all the money we spent we only have two real star players - Palmer & Caceido, no leaders and no elite keeper.

    Under the new ownership we have essentially been consistently mid table (save for the last dozen games of 23/24) and without Palmer we would have been much worse than that. There is no clear pathway back into the top 4 because our squad is so poorly put together. You would need to rebuild a rebuild.

    It's been a shambles ever since Clearlake took over.

    Although Jackson as a finisher is shaky, I think he's really been missed since he got injured - he's very quick and always prepared to run in behind and that opens up the pitch for the rest of the team (well Palmer I suppose).

    Cool stat:
    Scott Parker in his last EPL role managing Bournemouth: Goals conceded in his final match: 9
    Scott Parker in the Championship managing Burnley: Goals conceded in 34 games this season: 9

    lol that is kind of funny.

    Bournemouth almost found a way to draw against BHA but couldnt get home, easier to replace a striker than a central defender. Zabarnyi harder to replace, could hurt us next couple of matches until he returns

    Really didn’t like welbeck when he played for United back in the day but he has got better and better with age. Quality finish to send Brighton past Newcastle.

    I always thought Welbeck was similar to Alvaro Morato in that he had all of the attributes to be a great striker, size with pace and could be brilliant at times but lacked that certain something to be great. Pretty sure if he was in this current United team he would look terrible whereas at Brighton he always has players to combine with.

    There’s at least one Fulham fan, no?

    Nope - never made it down as low as the 4th tier.

    I was going to say Blackburn but they also don't appear to have fallen as low as Div 4. They were champions at the other levels though.

    Wolves have to be one and Im gonna take a stab at Preston North End & Portsmouth.

    That is 3 of the 5 - well done. None of the other suggestions are correct. Notts County have never won the 1st division. Leicester have never dropped to the 4th and nor have Forest.

    Ok, thanks.

    Blackpool must be a good shout?

    Just checked - they have never won the 1st division strangely enough. One of 8 teams to finish 2nd without getting a title - others are Bristol City, Oldham, Cardiff, Charlton, QPR, Watford, Southampton.
