Nobody pointed out to the hacks that parroting "Messi has never scored against Chelsea" was guaranteed to backfire on them?
Listen to ONLY as background radiation : A documentary on the day in the life of a football supporter man child ... Go to 55:15 for the most embarrassing and hilarious display of manhood you will ever witness.
I've seen mentions of how ArsenalFanTV's claim of being open to everyone (which is Robbie's default defence to criticism of the regulars) isn't entirely true - back when the channel was growing they'd simply not air anyone who wasn't enough of a trainwreck, now they have heavies scattered around to stop anyone but the regulars getting in front of the camera.
I loved the expression on Grigg's face after he scored.He looked totally embarrassed and was ready to leave the stadium!!!!!!!?
United have decided to play against Sevilla as the did against us at Wembley. If Sevilla were any good and De Gea was injured, the score board would need to be able to show double figure.
I haven't slept well recently. Thanks United, I enjoyed a lovely snooze during the last hour and a half.
You need to get a subscription to Supersport (Africa), they will replay the match in FULL at least 4 times today, you could get 6 hours kip.
Why did the chavs sign giroud from the goons when they don't even play him.2 strikers on the bench and he plays hazard up front what's the point.
2 possibilities. Charitable view that Conte decided that faster more mobile forwards were what's needed for this game. View 2 that the Russian gangster signed him and Conte is delivering a finger to him (along with his resignation)
You could be right on that conte has definitely gone against the Russian just surprised that he is still in his job given how many managers have been sacked for doing better than conte
If Barca have an Achilles heel, it's that the team is getting a bit old in the tooth and Conte went with pace. They couldn't cope with Willian, so he was probably spot on. I think that Conte might have played Morata, if he'd been properly fit. Morata's got a back problem and they tend not to go away too easily. He's probably shot up with pain killers to play any part in a game right now and playing him for a whole game at that level is likely to be a big gamble. Competing on 3 fronts with just Giroud up top won't be what Conte wants. Giroud lacks mobility, hasn't played much football and is a Llorente type of option, without being so ****. He's great against Swansea or Bournemouth but only for the last 30 when you're chasing a goal against Barca. However, the real problem is that Conte ****ed off Diego Costa last summer. Costa's a significantly more effective player than both current options. I can't stand the bloke but he was a top player for them and strikers at his level are as rare as rocking horse ****......or as SD said, it could be Conte v Chelsea management. There's something very wrong between coach and board again...or is it permanently wrong? Chelsea don't make a great deal of sense compared to real life.
