weekends other matches thread

When the NA thing happened, the most used post on here and several other sites, was the King is dead, long live the King.

 

I was shocked, upset and thought that Cortese had lost his mind. However, I very quickly wanted to know all about the new man (it helped that he wasn't hard on the eyes). I think we all wanted Nicola to be right...and he was.

 

Yeah, I was completely stunned at first and was guilty of thinking "who is this Pochettino?!".

However, soon after some research the next day I became excited at the prospect of what he may bring. So far I have enjoyed the games more.

I think that may be to do with winning....

 

In other news, this is what the league table would look like had the season started on November the 10th...

For some reason, I'm really quite looking forward to this FA Cup match. Matches involving two big teams don't usually excite me at all, unless Liverpool or Spurs are involved.

I'd like Chelsea to win, as I'd love Rafa to be able to walk out of Chelsea with two trophies. Would make the rubbish he has wrongly had to put up with, at least slightly worth it. But, whilst that Chelsea attack does look tasty, I do worry about Ivanovic vs the movement of Hernandez and Welbeck. He's slow enough as it is, let alone less than 48 hours of being in a battle with Rickie and Jay.

 

Ouch. Three of this Chelsea back four now played against us. Utd's forwards could have you real success here.

 

This game is dire. Nani is having a mare.

 

Now Bertrand has replaced Ashley Cole.

 

Compared to how we started Saturday, this lot are embarrassing. Might have to finish the spring cleaning instead now.

 

And the one that isn't there was their best player.

 

Yeah, Utd have had too much of the ball so far for it to be a decent game (in my book, Utd are generally quite a boring team to watch, so a game where they see a lot of the ball is not a good game).

I'd hoped a fresh-ish Hazard and Mata would be more involved.

 

We're getting quite a few mentions now, the count must be nearing double figures.
Chelsea don't look like the home team in this game at all.

 

Townsend says Chelsea lost to Saints as they played poorly. Did he even watch the game, I wonder?

 

I thought he said Chelsea started poorly, which to be fair they did.

 

Nani you cheating little ****.

 

To be fair Tom, he's tried passing, dribbling and shooting without much success so he probably thought he try diving; he didn't even do that well.

He's having a mare.

 

I really hate Nani. Goes to ground very very easily and I was delighted he was sent off against Madrid.

 

That first half was dreadful.

 

HT 0-0..?

Crikey, we've put 2 past Chelsea by now, and 1 past ManU. Don't they have any strikers..?

 

What a finish from Ba! Glad he didn't play on Saturday.
