Chelsea have always been Millwall-with-money. They may have added a bunch of new fans in recent years since the Abramovich takeover but their core fanbase have always been utter cunts.

You don't like the Simple Jack look?

I know some reasonable Sunderland fans who are very uncertain about promotion because they believe they'll struggle massively in the Premiership. And then there's these fuckers.

Great win

Sky Sports are actually reporting that Dortmund are interested in him. Fuck knows what they've seen in him beyond his surname but stranger things have happened.

If they go up I'd say there's a massive chance that Louis-Dreyfus sells up. He's not there as a fan, he's there to prove to his family that he's a big boy and by selling up he can show that he can take a distressed asset and flip it for a profit.

Painful stuff to watch but I said to my dad this morning that a point would be a good result considering our history at Brighton.

Every single one of them drunk calls their ex whenever they have an argument with their partners. They never seem to have new ideas for managers, it's always someone who did the job previously.

Nice, comfortable win. Great to see Osula getting his goal.

They wouldn't get it in any case. There's no way to figure out where players might have moved to which other clubs or what results might have been different in the absence of City. If they hadn't played Man City in the final they could have ended up losing against Liverpool, Arsenal or any of the other big teams.

Well that was shit. Too many players just didn't turn up today & we don't have the squad depth to cope.

Derby games are the worst way to measure a team. Teams always raise their performances in those games.

I think he does better when he gets explicit instructions on his role in the game. Which players to mark, where and when to make runs, who to pass to, etc. When he comes on as a sub he doesn't get the level of instructions and it's usually at the same time that the opposition is making changes too and he can't adapt to those changes on the fly. He's shown that he's a capable player under Rafa and Howe, both of whom almost certainly give him that level of instruction, but was crap under Bruce and his Let's just kick it about style. Either way, it's time for him to move on. He's not getting much game time now and doesn't look great when he does get on. If we ever want to really start to complete for the league we need to be much more ruthless and move on those players that aren't capable of keeping up any more.

That's where Wilson is with us now. He was brilliant for us in previous years, helped us stay in the league, propelled us into the Champion's League, got himself England caps on the back on his great performances. He's risking all of that being forgotten now and being remembered only for his poor performances.

Great performance

What a fucking goal

Fantastic first half

Cracking goal. There's got to be some sort of competition in the team to see who can score from the tightest angle.

Beating this lot always feels great, even when they're shite.

Beautiful goal

It's not just DCL's wages either. If he were to be signed on £200k wages (for example) then every first team player earning less than him is going to start asking why they earn less than him whilst doing more for the team. You sign one player on inflated wages and suddenly you have to give new contracts to half the team to keep them happy. Do Bruno or Isak have contract clauses that they must be the highest earner? Giving a free transfer a higher wage automatically means increasing theirs too.

Thought it was remarkable how knackered the Leicester players looked when the 3rd goal went in when seeing the replays. They were lazy, uninterested and unfit. It's no wonder they're going down.

Training ground run-out. Leicester were abysmal & looked worse than we ever looked under Bruce or in our relegation seasons.

Toney went for that fee because no top clubs came in for him. Mainly because he's a prick. Mbuemo will go for a higher fee. More clubs are interested in signing him and he isn't renowned as a dickhead.

Good win with an incredible winner that'll be remembered for a lot longer than the rest of the game.
