Been trying to think of the match last season that last night reminded me of and I've finally got it - Sheff Wed (A) in the Cup. Desperately disappointing performance where virtually nothing worked. Few fringe players getting a run out (who normally wouldn't) but they all simultaneously let themselves down with such a shit performance it stunk the place out. Sloppy in possession, lack of movement, mistakes under little pressure and no fizz to anything at all. Shape looked bad and clearly wasn't working, couldn't get a toe-hold in the game and never looked like troubling them. Horrible performances the pair of them and deserving of exactly what we got - nothing

Literally only 4 or 5 clubs on the planet that could afford him at the best of times. Take into account FFP restrictions of those who could afford him AND could find a place in the starting XI then it's down to maybe 2 or 3. City and Real are the only 2 with maybe PSG, that's about it. If any of them trigger it then it gives him a huge decision to make but I'm not going to worry about that like, if it happens then it happens, he's a brilliant brilliant player and they'll always be in demand, it's just the nature of the sport

Reminds me of Bruce resigning from Sheff Wed to avoid Ashley having to pay compensation for him. Wants to run with the foxes and hunt with the hounds. Fuck him, the little wanksplat

Really poor and sloppy tonight, ref hasn't been great but we've not done anywhere near enough to get anything out of this. Really disappointing result and performance, just never showed up and can't really complain, Palace have bossed it

CINCO

FAWWER

Think the Chelsea squad, being the utterly selfish and gutless pack of cunts they undoubtedly are, will switch off soon and get their flip flops on. They'll be wanting to keep themselves fit for the Euros soon enough, they'll drop right back in the next few weeks imo

Job done. Let's have another 4 please

That'll do, pig

Wonder if de Zerbi fancies it?

I find it virtually impossible to believe that genuine Man U fans can look at ETH and what he's offered up and be pleased. Surely once they put their comfort blankets down and just watch the games for what they are that he's taking them backwards? He's been dreadful for them and they've been winging it for months now, the odd moment of brilliance, the massive lucky streak and other intangibles have papered over the cracks and kept him in a job but that only lasts for so long. Keep him on and they'll plummet

Have to bare in mind that Man U could resolve this entire situation by just paying the money we're after. It's all well and good moaning like fuck about having to pay for the services of a bloke they rate and want but they unsettled him in the first place. They've caused the situation by publically courting him but they're unable/unwilling to pay the cash to actually get him. Then the bridge-dweller pops up on national tv actually and complains about it

Just 3 pens away man. Come on Cov

Quite agree. But they've got to put the lines down and one is going to be in front of the other and unfortunately it went against the Cov today. Think that'll bladder them

It is off tbf like. It's a hairline decision but it doesn't paper over the cracks in this team. Throwing away a 3 goal lead is horrendous stuff
