    Let's All Laugh At... Let's all laugh at Chelsea thread

    Joe Cole deserves every bit of grief he gets. Did you see him before our game at West Ham the other week? Embarrassing, he was like a moron in the pub goading Hoddle.

    2023/24 - The Race For..................

    We've spent decent money but not mega (and we sold big too). Another post mentioned we were 2nd/3rd biggest but that's because this was finally the windows that FFP caught up with everyone. Genuine question - did you think 5th would be disappointing before the season started? I had us around...

    Let's All Laugh At... Let's all laugh at Chelsea thread

    Bringing Silva on at 0-5 was harsh! Guy’s got about a million caps and has been one of their best players over last couple of years, I’d say that was poor from Poch.

    And Odergaard. That guy is so, so good if I was Legohead I’d rest him first. Hope he picks up a knock now & misses the weekend. He’s been insanely good tonight.

    2023/24 - The Race For..................

    Postecoglou has said he doesn’t want any player that is joining because we’re in the champions league. I love that. Otherwise you could end up with players agitating for a move if we miss out in future years. We’ve signed plenty of top players without CL football over the years; Lloris...

    Premier League 2023/2024

    Sorry but that is totally inaccurate, you make it sound like a 50/50 challenge. The Forest player was solely concentrating on getting control of the ball and getting a shot away. Young got caught wrong side and made a desperate lunge. If he got the ball, it’s because he went through the man...

    BBC had first pick and would've chosen City v Chelsea for Sat evening as viewing figures generally higher than Sunday. Also with the Marathon on, the Met Police may have had a say. Pretty sure they'd see Cov v Man U as a 'lighter' fixture, albeit with same capacity.

    Premier League 2023/2024

    From memory we were heavily linked before he joined Palace (from QPR). There was talk on here that Mourinho opted against him.

    Premier League 2023/2024

    But I also have to say I think Atwell is utterly useless and would’ve made the same call in a different game today. However that is down to poor officiating, this has possibly made it into a bigger issue of PGMOL’s own making.

    Premier League 2023/2024

    I’d say we absolutely can if a club are given a ref who supports a club just below them in a relegation battle. Would you be happy if we had a Villa fan for the last game of the season, needing to get something for top 4? It’s an integrity issue, pure and simple. If true, Webb should be...

    Premier League 2023/2024

    Think I saw something linking him with Luton in 2010 so assume he had declared it. As I say, if Webb knew he is an absolute fool for not erring on the side of caution and moving Atwell to Palace or Villa games.

    Premier League 2023/2024

    Blimey if NF really did raise concerns and they’ve let Atwell be VAR, that is appalling. Howard Webb should’ve been cautious and put him on another game. It’s not even a full weekend!! The last pen is as stonewall as you’ll see and it’s hard not to feel aggrieved.

    Match Threads Spurs vs Arsenal

    I remember one where Harry curled one into the top corner from an angle outside the box, that was quite lively.

    New Tottenham 24-25 Kits

    It’s a white & blue version of Woolwich so no. Nike are awful let’s face it. I’m very much a Hummel guy but my God it’s like they don’t even try.

    Manager Watch: Ange Postecoglou

    Yes it’s a season in transition and we are outperforming expectations. However my worry is that we’re on the wrong trajectory. First 10 games great, next 12ish managing lots of injuries, next phase we’ve got everyone back and we seem to have stalled. Defensively we seem more vulnerable than...

    Match Threads Newcastle vs Spurs

    Yep. But in possession is seriously worrying me right now. Earlier in the season we were taking risks, playing round the press and making angles. Today (& Fulham) was horrible. Nervous, slow, hospital passes from the back that invariably gave the ball back to the oppo within seconds. We’ve...

    Match Threads Newcastle vs Spurs

    Very concerning that some problems are becoming a bit familiar. And on the back of Fulham just a couple of games ago, things need sorting. Very quickly.

    We also gave him Perisic and Porro, with significant fee/wages.

    Manager Watch: Ange Postecoglou

    We have all week to prepare and we look massively worse than we did after only 8 games. Shape defensively is a joke, players are jogging around and in possession we look lethargic particularly against deeper teams. Worryingly, there is a real lack of desire being shown too. There are quite a...

    2023/24 Champions League

    But we have Liverpool & Villa. Hopefully they can win both legs and that builds up some points. Agree it will be tight overall though.
