I know, but it implied Matic was old and over the hill when one of his replacements isn't that much younger.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran hold a long overdue conversation about United's awful league form with 1 win in 7. They discuss a disappointing draw at Bournemouth, a not so disappointing draw against Liverpool and a crushing defeat at Chelsea - Is time nearly over for Erik Ten Hag?
Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.
Well bit of a silly way to justify drinkewater then? Your ‘37’ jibe clearly implying matic is old and drinkewater was vastly younger. Yet you then admit you know he’s only 18 months younger than
Matic.
So- why did you get rid of Matic for drinkewater? Perhaps it’s because Matic was desperate to join the biggest club in England and Jose and Danny was best replacement you could get?
"Silly" was what I was going for.
I agree with your assessment, Matic wanted to go to United for a few (understandable) reasons, Chelsea saw a change to get decent money, get a high earner off the wage bill and bring in a younger, "homegrown" player on lesser wages with a decent re-sale value. It looks like it won't work for Drinkwater at Chelsea but I bet we don't lose much (if any) money on him.
Fair enough
Funny. But they don't have games at that time on saturday's. I wondered if it's something they plan on doing.
How many bookings does Kante get away with per year?
13 mins since the game has started and mostly just discussion in the thread. Take it nothing has been happening in the game?
Nah its feckin shite
Somebody who's watching this turd please pay attention to how Bednarek performed and keep me updated.
Although Morata just won a corner for fecking up a cross by kicking it off his own foot. That was pretty funny.
Not sure about that, plus no one is likely to pay Drinkwater what he is on currently at Chelsea and he still has 4 years left.
As expected then.Southampton deserve to be struggling for that abomination of a jersey.
I guess it's because from next season there are 10 'prime time' Saturday evening games, so maybe they're trialling it?
Southampton showing why they are in trouble in the league and Chelsea haven't much to play for. The important game for them is against the same team in the F.A. Cup semi next Sunday.
Goal Tadic. Fantastic from Bertrand
Would you believe it. Tadic scores a goal after a lovely run by Bertrand. 1-0.
Wouldn't mind Bertrand at a cut rate price if Southampton goes down.
Him and Romeu will be snapped up quickly.
Him and Romeu will be snapped up quickly.
That's fantastic from Bertrand. Well played.
Seems an Everton signing... and they're currently paying Schneiderlin £120k/week so are used to overpaying.
They could at least pretend to try and catch Liverpool/Spurs. Lazy cnuts!
Hopefully after this game when Chelsea are cut adrift Conte will bin a load of these underperforming players for the rest of the season and start playing some of their young stars.
Do you really think so? He’s 28 and you paid £35m for him. He’s on a 5 year deal which is usually a plus for offloading a player but if he leaves you it’s not going to be because he’s doing well and in demand is it? It’s likely that you’ll have to accept some sort of deal between either the player or the club if you want to offload him.
I doubt it’ll come to that though, I think he’ll settle in and find his role under Conte’s replacement.
Maybe they would do a swap.
The response after the goal is telling. Southampton finally getting on the ball and passing it around. Chelsea falling deeper and pressing less. Weird.
Chelsea putting all their efforts into the F.A. Cup?
Fabregas should try MLS.
Lovely poacher's goal from Harry Kane
That was one of the most obvious pushes from Zappacosta. Crazy that the refs missed it.
Not even Mike Dean can help Chelsea today.
Chelsea in freefall!
I fecking hate Morata's attitude.
Makes sense then.
He definitely likes falling over.
And shouting at the ref to give yellow cards. I thought that was a yellow card offense in itself?
Morata is a right prick.
He's a complete and absolute wanker.
Højbjerg, too.
