The race for sixth place and European football continues to deliver drama that rivals even the relegation battle between West Ham and Tottenham. With every match carrying weight, the tension is palpable across the league.

Like many fans, I felt Nottingham Forest came dangerously close to disrespecting the competition when they fielded a shadow team against Chelsea. It was a move that raised eyebrows and sparked debate about squad rotation and sporting integrity. Meanwhile, Chelsea themselves remain a ghostly outline of their former glory—just as easy to play through and score against as a spectre. Their struggles have become a recurring theme, and it's hard to look away.

I'm trying hard not to dwell on Chelsea again, but it's impossible to ignore what looks like an entire football club slipping into dysfunction. The real pain isn't in spotting the problems emanating from the upper echelons—it's in knowing that I will be amazed if the correct decisions are made to fix them. No matter how many "periods of reflection" they announce, the same faces remain in charge.

After all, turkeys don't tend to vote heavily in favour of Christmas.
