        NNT: Basically, everyone knows that Chelsea systematically cheated their way up in the game now.

        NNT: That is precisely why they cannot be respected or compared to their more organic rivals. Their trophies and achievements are nothing but the end product of enormous financial doping.

        NNT: Fining Chelsea several million pounds for cheating their way to win trophies is so lazy.

        NNT: Punishment needs to be an effective deterrent. If you strip them of titles won in those cheating periods, that reduces the incentives for the next serial cheater (City) to come in.

        His persona doesn’t win many hearts, but he’s right so much more often than he’s wrong. Part of the problem is his insistence on going all in on his hot takes (like how incredible Maguire is)

          Maguire was doing well up until the United move. Who knows, what if he move to City with Pep instead. Or even recently, what if he just moved on to West Ham and worked under Moyes.

          Alot of the meme mistakes looks like he forgot to defend, is it maybe cuz of the tactics or like the club being to big for him, idk.
