duo Posted November 11, 2022 Share Posted November 11, 2022 WC has to on the mind of players tomorrow - last thing you want is to get injured now. And who can blame them. That goes for both teams. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mazzy Posted November 11, 2022 Share Posted November 11, 2022 Hard to see that it won't affect the players in the World Cup sqauds. I'm assuming Chelsea have more players going to the World Cup, so we can only hope it affects them more than it does us. The intensity may not quite be there as we've come to expect.

80 Posted November 11, 2022 Share Posted November 11, 2022 I'd like to think that of our players going to the world cup, they will turn out and do their best. I don't think characters like Trippier and Guimaraes can be half-hearted, plus, we're on the edge of a career making club season as well for people like Schar. I would guess things aren't on the line quite as much for the Chelsea players... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobbydazzla Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 (edited) Fuck the World Cup. Our players are invested emotionally and physically in the rebirth and success of NUFC and this is a massive chance to demonstrate our capabilities. Going balls to the wall to get NUFC into the champions league or pissing about in Qatar for a few weeks. No competition. Howay the lads.

There’s been multiple iterations of it since I was a kid. The PL breakaway had the ‘big five’ or ‘ITV five’ of Spurs, Man Utd, Everton, Liverpool, Arsenal. We’ve been included in this meaningless top four/five/six things in the past. It’s all a bit daft to me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going balls to the wall to get NUFC into the champions league or pissing about in Qatar for a few weeks. No competition. Howay the lads. The tournament being in Qatar and in Nov/Dec has killed any remaining real interest in it for me. As bent as FIFA is, having the brass bollocks to award it to fucking Qatar is almost impressive, given that bribery would be the only possible reason to award it to them. At least with an actual nation-state you’ve got some plausible deniability. The entire point of a WC is to give you something to watch for a few weeks once the proper football finishes. This is all massively inconvenient and a huge pain in the arse. I hope that it has a massive negative impact on Chelsea and their huge squad of highly paid internationals, whose form has been sub par to date in any case, and most of them not wanting to get injured before the WC. Three points today means more than any England win at the WC. HTL Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
frankpingel Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 The PL endorsed the "big six" by ensuring this week's set of fixtures didn't involve meeting one another. It's backfired somewhat with our form giving Chelsea a more difficult game than envisaged (planned even). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
christ Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 Don’t feel particularly confident today. Can’t bring myself to believe we’re going to go into this break without a loss for us to all fret over for the next six weeks. I hope there’s a proper last day of the season atmosphere. I want a repeat of the Arsenal match. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gbandit Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 Hope we annihilate this sorry excuse for a football club today. Can’t wait to see them flushed out of the top four places this season and in seasons to come. They were the original shitheads of the premier league and continued on that way year after year under the oligarch.

Enjoy your time in the shade Let’s be honest, Chelsea were always a shitheads club. No fucker liked them when they were a run down mess who’d won fewer major trophies than Preston NE when the PL breakaway occurred. Success has not rendered them more likeable.
