We have to play Galatasaray in a must win game in Turkey on Wednesday. We'll be tired ourselves. I think that's big trouble against your style. Just hoping for a Bruno Fernandes masterclass. Hopefully Rashford dropped as well.

Home: Chelsea - 1 Bournemouth - 3 Villa - 3 Away: Newcastle - 0 Liverpool - 0 West Ham - 1 Forest - 3 This is what I'm expecting.

Character.

You lads really hate supporters of other teams saying they have injuries.

And to do it with the ludicrous amount of injuries we've had and the numerous amount of poor VAR decisions against us. Quite incredible really. What a side.

Hope we can put out a strong side as well.

He tried to buy us. He seems like a complete joker.

Utter nonsense.

I believe the game played on for 20-30 seconds and then play was stopped and Tierney was called to the monitor. The onfield decision was no penalty. No review for the foul on Hojlund, even though it was worse. It's the inconsistency that kills you.

It's the tiny nitpicking of fouls as well that I can't stand and the massive inconsistencies. It's ruining a contact sport. It was meant to be for clear and obvious errors and they're stopping play for the most minuscule of fouls. Imagine this being given as a foul in the 90's: If that's a foul now, then fair enough, but why wasn't this a penalty: Just give the onfield ref the power again. If they get it wrong they get it wrong. I'd rather costly mistakes by referees than the mind-numbing, fine tooth comb approach to fouls that we have now.

I just preferred the way it was. I wanted VAR initially, but feel it's taken the excitement out of large parts of the game. I'd say I don't even celebrate 50% of goals anymore, and in a lot of situations by the time the goal is given that initial eurphoria (which is one of the greatest things about football) is gone. The Drogba goal still comes up in conversation from time to time. Human error was just part of the game. Even with VAR now human error is still happening, so what's the point?

Drogba offside goal. Lost the game 2-1, and the league title by 1 point. I'd still scrap VAR tomorrow.

Why is it eight games and not say... five?

"they hope." Will probably be January ffs.

Hojlund and Eriksen both injured. 3-4 weeks for Hojlund, 4-5 for Eriksen.

I think it's pretty clear Chelsea are on an upward trajectory. They'll be in the mix.

I don't think I said he was crap did I? He's not very good though. Correct.

Very well to be honest. This one was pretty mild.

What's the craic @Decky?

We do have one. I've put stuff in it before to avoid escalating other threads.

You overestimate how often this happens. You know for the most part I'm massively respectful of almost everyone on here and your club.

Some of this is true.

You had your annual flounce off yet son?

Have a good day Danny.

I would say Arsenal, Liverpool and Man United fans are just relieved one of their top four rivals lost to a side they weren't expected to. Nothing more, nothing less.
