Kilcline

Second half for me was the best we've played this season. Some of the passing and movement was exceptional. Chelsea were exactly what they've been all this season, neat and tidy enough box to box but can't defend properly and don't have a striker or anyone who can be clinical. Not going to cut it, if Nkunku doesn't make a difference when he comes in they're fucked so far as this season goes.

Described this guy as a joke to my lad halfway through the second half today, he is so, so good

Outstanding today

This is the problem for me, he's miles better than that fucker until he starts trotting out the nursery rhymes. I mean even with those he's still better, but no need for it.

No doubt Drury has a line ready to go

I think if we're in Europe again next year then this season will have been a decent one. Assuming us or one of the other big boys win both the domestic cups then 7th will be enough for Europe again, and even if we end up in the Conference League finishing 7th it'll be straight into the group stage, no July qualifying round nonsense. Does anyone know what happens with the countries who get the extra CL places, as in does their place for the "other" competition go to the next team in their league, or will it just end up someone gets a bye in the first qualifying round to make up the "spare" extra slot?

Goal. 3 points. Video of him sorting out some tosser who goes looking to cause trouble with him when he's out having a drink later on tonight. A successful 30th all round.

Gary Neville banging on about Spurs' high line, they're probably quite happy for Sterling or Jackson to go through 1 on 1 as much as they like, they'll need about 20 chances between them to score

Honeymoon period for Ange well and truly over

Went through his legs I think

This was 100% me When it was finally given I'd long since sat down and was just shaking my head at how much of a fucking farce it all was. A classic of the VAR ruining the moment genre

Laughable. Have they actually said specifically which bit of the goal they disagree with/why it shouldn't have been given yet? Fucking idiots.

I was half expecting them to ask Arteta if he thought it was a goal it was taking so long

I may need to rewatch to try and pinpoint the exact time I stopped shouting encouragement at the TV and just started laughing every time he absolutely monstered someone

Some of his decisions at the end of that season were bizarre. He seemed to decide that it'd be easier for them to get CL football by finishing 4th than beating Frankfurt over 2 legs then Rangers/whoever the other semi-finalist was that year.

Correct

Be surprised if this doesn't end up abandoned anyway because it kicks off in the stadium during the game. Seems to have been quite a bit of bother at games in France the last few years

This mirrors how I felt, was right in front of the Leazes/Milburn corner flag. The first half almost felt like a load of our lot had given up after seeing the teamsheet and were just there to sit in reverence and enjoy watching City

It's fucking lucky he's apparently okay as the videos on Twitter look like the ref's looking straight at him when he goes down with no-one around him and they just play on

Money back as a free bet because the shit cunts can't get close enough to make 14 fouls?

Things might get messy for him if Phillips gets on

He's very basic isn't he, movement generally all in straight lines. He's a bit of "presence" and pace but that's it.

There are few things more amusing than listening to Gary Neville sounding like he's delivering the eulogy at a funeral whenever these are getting taken apart

Think I read Bournemouth is the earliest chance we'll see him, so probably won't until after the next international break
