Watching a “Classic” Chelsea v Man U on Sky, think it’s from 2012 or thereabouts. Have to say it’s an absolutely cracking game. Both teams high speed, breathless football, Rooney is just brilliant, everyone on both sides playing really well. Enjoying it far more than I expected. Maybe because at this remove I don’t really care? Or maybe the football is just…better? Dunno. Jonny Evans at CB btw

I was out for a bit, who got injured?

What a season Palmer has had. It seems insane that there’s a chance he doesn’t go to the Euros.

Joe Cole trying not to laugh there

Game‘s gone…great!!!

Man U have Liverpool and Arsenal at home. Not totally sure what else, but I think they actually have one of the easier run-ins.

Have they? I know they have Arsenal and Villa away, and the rearranged game v us.

90(7) in reality, and I think Sheff Utd might have been close at our place.

I was wondering that earlier today. I think it was 40M plus add-ons. No idea what the wages are.

Yeah, this. Rare that what goes around comes around, but when it does…

You sure?

It’s genuinely a bit annoying that we don’t get to play them again this season.

Yeah was thinking that. He turned up his own volume for that shitty Gomez shot there too.

Fucking hell. Wish teams would do that shit against us. He just casually kicks it against him.

Gravenberch loves a dive.

Also Arteta not getting fitted with one of those dog collars that gives you an electric shock if you stray too far.

I genuinely haven’t got a clue what will happen in that match. Obviously we don’t know what team you will have out, but presumably Howe will have to go with the low block and hit us on the break, because it’s so obviously the way to play against us. Question is whether we’ll have players back in form and whether Ange has found a way to break teams down who sit back. Can’t see you not scoring.

Still can’t quite fathom how we got a 3-3 draw at the Etihad with our comedy line-up.

Chelsea away. We’ve still got Anfield to come and Man City and Arsenal at ours. Long way to go.

Gareth Cheeseman’s showing a fair bit of age too.

Just then when Emery was grimacing he looked like a morphing together of Gareth Cheeseman and Leonard Rossiter.

Not sure you can blame him all that much, the injuries are starting to tell a bit. He did fuck it up against us tbf.

All billionaires are bastards and insider trading should be punished across the board with extensive prison terms and the seizure of assets for the public purse.

Yeah, the ESL stuff is horrible, and without question would have been the final straw for me personally. The club doesn’t have a lot of moral high ground to cling to, which makes it bloody hard to do the bit of our job which is advocating for the club As an individual fan though, I’m not entirely morally bankrupt. I hated what happened with Abramovich and Man City, and I would hate it to continue happening. If people were cool with it then of course there’d be no problem with Newcastle doing the same. I know there are some Spurs fans who feel the same, and I’d be annoyed with them too. You don’t need to give a shit what I think, why would you? I’m just old and tired. The last 35 years of being a fan have worn me out.

We did nothing of investing in our academy, buying and selling players, and saving up to build a new stadium? I get that it’s frustrating Stifler, Lord knows I do. I get that we have advantages being in London. I get that you’ve been owned by an utter cunt for years - let me rephrase that because we have too, an incompetent utter cunt. I know this isn’t going to be a sympathetic audience, at least not for the most part. But you’re not listening. And some of what you’re saying is just bullshit. @midds is right, this isn’t really the place, and I should just shut up and keep my head down. Just sometimes the frustration I’ve felt since Abramovich needs venting .
