Aye, let's put our strongest lineup in and knack all our best players. We don't have the squad to attack 3 competitions, this lineup should have enough to beat a L1 side

Most of the time it's not actually even true but it does sicken me to my stomach that they get linked with literally every half decent player out there, because you just know it's plausible

Fuck off you scruffs

Mackem scruffs score late as usual, 1-1

Mogga scranning Revels on the touchline

I thought the whole "New chapter" thing on his Insta was a little weird

Wayne Hennessy has been great today

Good to see our old friend Jack involved in his side getting an utterly embarrassing howking

Burnley 4-2 up, Bournemouth defending like idiots

Brighton back in front, Mitoma

He was on in the second half when I put it on but I don't know if he played the whole game

Boro level with basically their first attack, had been about 75/25 possession for Brighton

Brighton 1-0

WBA winning, Bruce helps himself to another bacon sarnie

Got Boreham Wood on at the minute, has a true third round feel

Wish I had a quid for every time i've watched a game and a player is on the deck like that, face in hands, only to be up and running around seconds later.

Played at Leeds and looked very decent

Bet their wage bill is top 4 or 5 in world football? I know PSG's is off the charts stupid but they can't be far behind, they'll pay any old shite 200k plus a week

Hope Badiashile changes his mind and goes back to France, telling Boehly to fuck off

Chelsea are an utter trash club no matter how much money they piss away

And offered 300k a week

Chelsea are 10th, they're fucking shite . Just a dreadful, loathsome club. Awful scummy fans. Can't stand them, hated them since the Ken Bates days and never understood the appeal of playing for them at all. Then again, posh part of London to live in and the fact they'll just pay whatever a player wants in wages out of desperation to make signings, goes a long way I suppose. Hope they go to the wall one day.

Yep, I mentioned this a couple of times in the aftermath of the game. It's a cynical and deliberate ploy to use the media to drive and influence future refereeing decisions. The media themselves are the architects of this shite, they give the airspace to this drivel and they analyze it and poke it and repeat it and eventually it becomes a narrative that is used later. Just watch Arsenal get a major contentious decision in their favour next game, all because the little weirdo complained, exaggerated and used the media in this way. Straight out of Fergie's textbook. They're all doing it now, Klopp et al and they have the nerve to accuses us of gamesmanship like we're unique.

Pickford I get, England keeper etc but the other two, especially at the prices that were quoted around in the summer are a mystery to me. DCL has demonstrable ability in the past but he's made from tissue paper and toothpicks and Gordon, without serious future coaching, is utter shite, hasn't done anything this season. Weren't Chelsea linked at something like 50m?

What a save Fabianski
