Another damning - yet season defining - stat just came out. Chelsea had been outrun in all previous 35 Premier League matches, until they faced Liverpool. Chelsea for the first time this season, outrun another Premier League outfit, and of course it had to be us.
This is the season that keeps on giving and I want it to end (The season, not my life).

We also have the fewest successful tackles of any team in the league!
09 May 2026 19:49:09
Florian, these stats are building... Were you hiding?

Haven't you heard, Slotmachine? He's now "slot out" and voluntarily conceding debates with little pushback. I think the poor lad had the wind knocked out of him.

Florian has been posting all day RTS. He isn't hiding anywhere.
He is simply a fan who has a little more patience than the rest of us to see if Slot could turn it around, and also called out the players a little more on their own personal performances. Merely a more patient poster with his decision making.
I think he might be converted to the idea of getting Slot out now.
I always find Florian to be a very respectful and knowledgeable footy fan myself. Never get why he gets dug out so much for having a bit more patience with a manager that did win the league. Although, like I said, I do think even Florian's patience might have reached its limit.
Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong on that, Florian.

Coz we don't run.
09 May 2026 20:21:55
Who cares about running.
Are we still on for the most possession and XG trophy double.

Bournemouth are unbeaten in their last 16 PL games W8 D8.
Huijsen (RM), Zabarnyi (PSG), Semenyo (Man Cheaty), Kerkez, under Iraola elite coaching, was in the PFA best eleven last year, this year under clot the pits! All the above also went to top, top clubs.
Add in Rayan, Brazilian 19-year-old playing RW with natural left foot, Kroupi 19 from Lorient keeping Kluivert on the bench, they would have been in the mix for PL Champions, on average home gates of 11,000 and among the lowest paid wages in the Premier.
Iraola is the next Ancelotti with resources and allowed to be a "MANAGER"; he's not a coach, he performs better as his own man, whoever gets him next season is deffo going places.
{Ed001's Note - Iraola is a coach mate, he doesn't want anything to do with recruitment.}

Even my former amateur league team would outrun LFC. Why? Simple. We ran. They don't.
09 May 2026 21:06:48
I'm not Slot out at all, Chewy. Just think he'll go (as I had said for months and months) and comment when people are talking about who they think will come in as replacement. Have never said I'm Slot out at all. If he's here next year, grand, if he's not, grand. As far as the conceding debates, I'm sure I'm like the other 7 billion people on the planet in that there's only so much Chewy one can take.
It's been a long season. No more reading multiple old testament lenght posts back and forth with you for me between now and August, I'm afraid.

Davey,
Respect is earned and Florian isn't earning it with the constant nonsense he would spin, he isn't knowledgable from what I've seen and had replies too.
He's just one of those attention seekers, who while 99% of the fan base were wanting a lot out was just trolling until it got to the point he had to concede.
09 May 2026 21:21:04
Thanks, Davey. The moneys in the post. ?
09 May 2026 21:41:49
Florian... Were you hiding?
09 May 2026 21:57:57
What patience? There is zero patience, he simply spins a point of view which, 99% of the time, has zero rationale. Most of his points refer to last season and the fact he won a title. We know... it still doesn't excuse the horribleness of the season.
Then, the so called unbeaten run, mostly comprised of draws, was another counter, and then, criticising every other potential manager who may be on the horizon as a way of supporting Slot. It’s laughable and he’s rightly been called out for it.
09 May 2026 22:13:42
I'm going to be awake all night at the thought of not having your respect, Retire, or that you don't think I'm knowledgeable. ? Frode, let's face it, it doesn't matter what I post, you have your back up about it.
Obsessed. I'll keep posting on threads I'm interested in, with people who aren't such miserable sods 365 days a year. There is actually some joy still to be had in being a Pool fan.
09 May 2026 22:43:42
Have we reached the point where having a different opinion is now considered trolling? Florian has been here for as long as I can remember under different usernames and he has always been a sound poster.
I don't always agree with his views or opinions, but that doesn't mean that he doesn't deserve respect. I get where he's coming from even if I don't agree with it.
10 May 2026 00:04:24
I don't mind FM's posts at all. Well, most of the time. I don't read them all, and I don't agree with them all, but if we all agreed on everything, then this place would be quite boring.
But I'm always intrigued by how much time FM spends on here and all the posts he/she puts out! FM must be one of the most prolific posters ever to have graced these hallowed halls of literacy. Slot Out!
10 May 2026 00:35:20
You don't have to be a Slot defender to point out that he isn't all to blame.
Raising points about the recruitment and player's own responsibility isn't a defense of Slot. It is just the reality.
The easy path is to just throw all the toys at Slot.
