How about that pass from Andersen though, thing of beauty.

The best thing about his continued development is it fucks off the Newcastle fans and fuels their complaints of the cartel

Also “Chelsea have a strong side” of course they do they’ve bought half of Europe.

Still sucks balls. Plastic xunts

I have no idea how Will Hughes is a Premier League footballer. I remember him being the next big thing at Derby, and he’s a Red, but goodness me, it’s painful watching him.

Is that a new rule that disallowed Eze’s goal from the free kick ?

Not new this year, but pretty unusual

If, when a free kick is taken, an attacking team player is less than 1 m (1 yd) from a ‘wall’ formed by three or more defending team players, an indirect free kick is awarded

Law 13 - Free Kicks

Edit: that rule was introduced in 2019/20 season (seem to remember we did quite well!) I can’t recall it being enforced.

I have genuinely never heard of this. It’s also funny that it means Geuhi picking up and carrying the Chelsea player to relocate him 2 yards away from where he was standing was deemed legal if that was not the issue flagged on the goal

[mattyhurst]

Yeah I have a feeling that is probably what led to it being chalked off.

It’s great when they can rule on stuff that’s covered in dust but basic time wasting nah.

Anyhow turned it off bored of the amount of time Chelsea have spent lying down, must be the lack of pre season.

The most technically gifted young player in England. An English version of xavi and iniesta. That was how he was spoken about when he was coming through at Derby. Was everyone just really high in the early 10s?

[mattyhurst]

Didn’t he have an injury that fucked him up for a couple of years, I don’t think he ever got back. Though wasn’t there another lad at Derby Seth Johnson who was similarly talked about.

[Limiescouse]

Did I just mishear that or did our commentator say that Cole Palmer, Mr best player isn’t he league, has not scored a non-penalty goal in the league since January?

Johnson was one of Leeds last big purchase of that era of overspending. I remember the day he moved there well because I was at one of the theme parks and a huge celebration broke out in the queue behind me and I turned around and saw it was lads in Leeds tops who had just heard the news. That was how highly rated he was at the time.

He struggled with injuries there, but was also a victim of what was happening at Leeds at the time. His purchase was heavily incentivized and Leeds got to a point where they genuinely couldn’t afford those additional performance clauses so just essentially killed his career to prevent them being liable for them. He eventually ended up back at derby in his late 20s and did ok but his time had passed by then

Yeah..Pretty Palmer is a bit overrated..me thinks…

[RER]

Chelsea are as toothless as Jeremy Kyle guest.

[legalalien]

Boring, boring Chelsea. I suppose they’re hoping for miracles from this young Brazilian kid, and when that doesn’t happen they’ll flog him off.

[peterroberts]

Pretty?

[RER]

Poster boy for flat track bully.

[peterroberts]

Did you steal that from Goldbridge ?

[RER]

Nope

[Wilkored08]

Should’ve put it in inverted commas…sarcasm not my best forte.

[Negan]

Yeah, it was his ACL. He’s been taken off now, so Palace’s midfield should be more pleasing on the eye (if they can get out of their own half right now).

[peterroberts]

Never a foul
