Apparently he's also claiming that he's just the manager, and that he doesn't make those decisions (i.e. prioritise League or Champions League game)

The premier league make you give them a list of 25 players that can participate in the league games. There is no way he should be held accountable for playing those players in a game. Stupid rules about this strongest team, how do the fa/prem league know it's his strongest team? considering the tactics he needs to employ to counteract certain players and set plays by the opposition. They cannot possibly know.

The title is not over by a long shout and Moureen knows it. I am expecting a big performance from Chelski at Klanfield, that's for sure.

Imagine the piss-take of them taking on a manager who basically give their longtime rivals the league?
Now, that'd be funny.

Not really because if we don't win it I won't be laughing.
