Haha, worra cunt. Running into his leg, so sly

Forgot how erect Clive gets when talking up footballers

Unbelievably bad defending. Hungary been dead since the first

Sly bastards

Kills me seeing players constantly fucking up Messi’s pinpoint passes

Argentina are such an annoying team, I forget how frustrating it is to watch them play

Watches a screen for two minutes, sees that vidal kicks the ball wide of the goal and that the two players then make contact. What’s the fucking point of these refs?

Return of the plod. You’re just waiting for someone to make a mistake rather than show some quality. Still, I’m pleased to see Scotland in a major tournament again

Love the celebration

Bellingham is class, looking forward to seeing more of him in this tournament

Pickford’s kegs full to the brim there

Defenders need to stop playing it back to Pickford at pace, only so many times he can get away with it

Can’t remember the last time Walker was this shit

Sure, and those things can be challenged and should be thought about critically but this idea that he’s a bottle job when he’s made it to the final of the toughest football competition and made it to four finals in total this season just doesn’t make any sense. Semi-finals are high pressure matches, so are quarter finals

I don’t think there’s any issue with him being criticised for this game or for other big games that he’s lost. It’s the over-exaggerations from some posters that’s the issue. Ultimately, Chelsea played brilliant defensively and Man City’s system wasn’t able to break them down. That is down to Pep’s tactics alongside individual performances. I just don’t think making grand protestations that he can’t handle the big matches makes any sense. What’s the sample size? Four games?

Weird as fuck reading the Pep discourse in this thread

The life has been completely sucked out of this game

Azpilicueta has been such a stalwart for Chelsea, so reliable

Does the new website have a block function?

Zinchenko’s link play has been shite

Fuck’s sake, don’t want Chelsea to win but that’s such a joke

My over-riding memory of Mitro in a Newcastle shirt is the amount of spurned gilt-edged chances he had. He missed a huge number of easy goals that a natural striker would put away. I liked him but he was a poor goalscorer for us

Football’s been on the wrong track for years, this ‘solution’ will kill it for many who have felt frozen out by the capitalist madness of the last fifteen years. Hope the people who have pushed this through really fucking suffer

Thought I’d stopped caring, but I love to see players like ASM doing something special. It’s the only thing this club has left

I don’t know how to answer the poll really. The only thing I want is for Ashley to go and for this club to stop rotting. If relegation makes that more likely, I want us to go down. If it makes it less likely, I want us to stay up. The reality is, I don’t think it makes a difference either way so I’d probably prefer for us to just get relegated so I can care even less about the club
