Never a handball, the first one looked like a good tackle too but it’s hard to say for sure. All I’ll say is, for me Var has made football worse, not better. Not only are we getting loads of incorrect decisions still we also get this annoying tit for tat argument every time something isn’t...

It would be like having Christmas everyday. Would soon lose its lustre.

Surely this is all just posturing over the price, eventually you’ll stump up the cash and get it done.

I don’t think José knows how to motivate modern players. Early in his career he had players who, for the most part, didn’t develop with the comfort of massive contracts and financial security like many do today. It’s possible his us versus them, go through the fire, sacrifice your body type...

Ref meltdown, two embarrassing decisions.

Don’t be blinded by the odd xfactor moment Alonso is prone to producing occasionally, he is a defensive liability and, worst of all, painfully slow. Anyone who can run will be an upgrade in the current set up. A competent left back will also hopefully put more pressure on Azpi, who has been...

Not his biggest fan but he’s miles better than Alonso so a considerable upgrade.

Are fans going to accept a handful of games every weekend after having pretty much every game live on tv after the break? I was hoping that they would’ve announced the same deal for the coming season but I haven’t seen anything yet. I’m hoping the new deal could lead to some big changes after...

For me it’s watching him makes me question why I’ve watched football my entire life. His antics are so unpalatable to me that if every player acted like he does I’d quit watching the sport within a week. Suarez is the only other player I’d categorise the same way. Despicable.

Feed me those tears.

Azpi had to step over Antonio to attempt to block the ball, how the hell could he not be interfering?! Pretty sure the guy who scored was offside anyway but they didn’t check it.

Didn’t a Watford player get sent off for something very similar to that recently?

The wording in that quote sounds very suspect to me. “His people” should have alarm bells ringing, certainly hints at a disconnect between him and the club.

I have countless complaints about VAR that I could go on about for ages, but ultimately the consequence of its introduction is that I’m watching less football than last season. I’ve turned off numerous opposition games partway through. One of life’s great joys used to be celebrating a goal...

https://www.chelseafc.com/en/news/2019/12/06/chelsea-football-club-statement-on-appeal-verdict The club seems quite annoyed by the treatment from FIFA, mentions double standards in relation to Real and City. I’m a bit concerned by some of the names we’ve been linked with. Ake in particular is...
