Away Day Gadgie

Can’t stand the name “Fat Ronaldo”. I think it warps people’s perception of how brilliant the guy was. I wouldn’t be suprised if the term was made up Cristiano Ronaldo fanboys aswell.

My favourite Joselu moment today was when Shelvey played him through on his left foot, he feighned to shoot and tried to turn back onto his right foot but lost his balance and went down like he’d been snipered. I’m not usually one for bashing players that are clearly not good enough, but fuck me, that was laughable! Just absolutely awful!

Mirrors the club. Pages and pages of talking about something that's really not worth talking about in the slightest. Aye, my head hurts from reading the last couple of pages.

Absolute disgrace!

This is a fair comment

Let’s be honest, most of us thought he was shit for a long time. He’s turned out to be a reliable (but limited) player. This isn’t anywhere near the biggest stick you could hit Pardew with.

He's just dancing after scoring man like numerous other players do. He's a bit of a show off, but doesn't come across in a bad way at all. Just a silly dude really. Everything he does is arrogant as fuck. That stupid penalty run up as well. The penalty run up is terrible for sure. Unacceptable from anyone who does that Wouldn't say he was arrogant though. You can see he has a good rapport with his teammates, and celebrates them as much as he does himself. I've said this before but a lot of football fans can only like (other teams) black players if they're in the Kante mould. Pogba's a confident lad and likes to dance. For a lot of football fans this makes him a right fucking knob off rip. He seems a popular lad among all of his teammates at all of his clubs and the national side. Seems a leader among the French national team. He's only ever fallen out with Jose Mourinho. Not a violent or dirty player. But you know... too confident... too much dancing.... too black. Maybe a lot of those people are not racist, but just find “dancing” goal celebrations shit and irritating? I know i certainly do.

Really? Yep. Every time i allow myself begin to think that something might be happening, I ask myself why would he sell? I've never been able to answer it. There is no incentive for him to sell when his wealth and power increases every day. I can try and answer: he won't back Rafa so Rafa is gone in the summer. When Rafa goes he'll need to spend significantly on the squad in the summer as the moron who's next in charge won't be fit to tie Rafa's shoes. That'll cost money. If we go down, we have zero saleable assets to finance a promotion push, plus a reduce in TV revenue and advertising for his shite shops. He'd have to finance a push himself, again costing money, and third time lucky there are no guarantees. The 'it's a cash cow for him, why would he sell' argument only washes with Rafa here imo. The only problem with this theory is that you’re assuming that Ashley is rational, logical thinker who likes to plan ahead, and not a fat idiot who would much rather gamble and do random shit. It’s also pretty obvious he enjoys trolling the fans which doesn’t help either. I'm not saying it's what I think, it's the only answer I can come to in regards to him actually selling. No one can second guess the fat cunt. I know ?

2nd half of the promotion season i thought he improved loads and was one of the few players we had who could step up and become a solid Premier League player. He’s got some really useful attributes (mainly linked with athleticism) but at the moment lacks the touch and sharpness to keep the ball consitantly in a PL midfield. That can only improve by having a good attitude and actually playing games. I didn’t see the game today but i’m happy to hear he had a decent game.

From what i remember from that season, he looked a lot better and more committed earlier on in the season. But when he realised half the dressing room couldn’t give a fuck he followed suit.

Aye. Tino was either unbelievably brilliant or “pull your hair out” frustrating. It would be intersting to see the kind of stuff that would’ve been posted about him if forums and social media were about then.

Definite red for me. Absolutely brainless thing to do. Most of us were furious when Harry Kane scissored Lejeune and injured him. Lascelles’ challenge was worse - waist height and needless due to the fact the ball was going out. He was very luck IMO.

Aye it’s pretty well-known that Chelsea have a long history of being scumbags. It’s a shame that the decent people in their fanbase have to be associated with them, but even more of a shame that innocent people have to encounter these arseholes.

I’ve been going to aways since 2000 and i’m pretty sure it’s always been sung.

Terrible Worst chant of the day was three lads in the bar afterwards trying to get this going: "I would rather have a rondon, rather have a rondon, rather have a rondon than a condom." It didn't catch on

Chelsea have always been like that. Awful club.

Someone please do it!

Yeah That nearly made me stop reading it but it was too enjoyable to stop.

Unfortunately this is what 11 years of Ashley has done to our fanbase. He’s sucked every bit of excitement and hope out of supporting a football club.

Excellent. Huge respect ?

This is spot on ? It’s a shame it ended like it did, he was a good player.
