Remember when he didn’t win them a Super Bowl and they let the guy that did walk away?

That same guy who sucked in Jacksonville and couldn't beat Trubisky out for a starting job. Just because Wentz isn't working out doesn't mean they made the wrong decision. Wentz would have been MVP if he hadn't got injured that year too. Lets not have short term memories.

The match summed up in 4 seconds.

Yeah that was a completely undeserved point. He had his hand way out and it hit it, so I see why it was given.

Fuck Harry Kane though. Dirty little cunt who completely ruined Lejeune's Newcastle career and avoided red because he's England's derpy little golden boy. I'm sure he can put in an application to get Moura's goal awarded to him to make himself feel better this evening.

Nathan Ake in the mud.

I said as soon as he signed that he wouldn't be first choice as Pep wouldn't play with two lefties as his pairing. He was always going to be cover for both Laporte and left back, I'm sure he was aware of that when he joined!

When did the attacking handball rule change?

I don't think it changed. I think they didn't deem it leading to a goal as the play moved on. Martin Tyler mentioned the "immediacy" of it I think. Only way I can see how it's not disallowed.

Lampard looking like he's about to combust with pure rage at any second in the dugout is hilarious!

Thiago Silva clearly not used to playing against players of Callum Robinson's calibre. 

Robinson now has 3 Premier League goals, all of them against Chelsea!

I definitely had a Football Manager on Xbox 360 at one point. It wasn't as bad as feared with the navigating. Stick worked like a mouse and d-pad snapped between directly between the nearest link in whatever direction. I got used to it pretty quick!

He's done that celebration after every goal this season though, don't see what's overly twatty about it. His penalty was immense too!

Thiago Silva captain on his debut. Is that a first in the Premier League?

Looks like Chelsea are debuting their Palace tribute kit too.

Calvert-Lewin ready take on the coveted EWB "20 Goals" mantle from Daniel "20 Goals" Sturridge!

Soft as fuck penalty given against us again, guess it's going to be one of those days.

We are in preseason basically? Like we had a single preseason friendly because our season finished a month after everyone else's.

I know some football fans are biased to the point of comedy, but this is one of the biggest displays of spouting pure bollocks I've seen in a while, so fair play for that at least😂

I see Pickford, his dodgy feet and teeny arms were at it again last night.  What a shitshow of a keeper he is.

This time next year I can't see him being Everton or England's no.1. With their respective squads, he'll only hold them back with is errors.

Is he even really that good? Obviously average is an upgrade over Kepa, but I haven't heard much about Mendy.

Joelinton has seemingly found his level and it's all very exciting!

Still squeezed in an absolutely horrific trademark miss too.

Semedo is an amazing player and a riduculously good signing for Wolves. I know Mendes basically runs football and prefferred this but I don't know why Champions League clubs didn't try to get him at that price.

As good as Son has been here. Harry Kane has seemingly turned into peak Xabi Alonso with his passing, he's been so good dropping deep and picking Son out. He's rarely gotten them before but 4 assists today is mental.

James really is struggling to adapt to the physicality of Premier League Football™ ain't he?

Yeah Sorloth has apparently turned into a star and Trabzonspor want a slice of it even though he doesn't want to be there. So it looks like they're effectively being bought out of this year's loan deal along with Palace getting a transfer fee.

Don't know what they're feeding their kids in Norway, him and Haaland must be the biggest front 2 going in a long time.

AC Milan facing Shamrock Rovers in Tallaght tonight, which is a bit mental. Zlatan vs Joey O'Brien, the battle we've always wanted.

This also bizarrely being the same stadium where Cristiano Ronaldo made his Real Madrid debut and where Harry Kane got his first Tottenham goal.

I personally want more Harry Maguire statistics that are completely irrelevant to his ability to defend.

I'm excited for this but definitely willing to wait for now, especially with the Spider-Man stuff coming to PS4.

I'll see how the digital vs physical consoles play out too. I'd be hesitant to go fully digital but the price difference is pretty big.

@TCO, drink it in.

Been doing the rounds on a few group chats here already! He was especially bad yesterday, hopeless even. Kalvin Phillips and Issac Hayden are both looking like better options for England really.

Rice is an above average player and that's about it really. He doesn't do anything spectacular but he's athletic,  breaks play up very well and can pick a pass out that keeps the midfield moving. I think because of the hype and his declaration for England have made expectations of the sort of player he is a bit too high.  He'll do a fantastic job as a defensive midfielder and could become a very good centre back but his price will be vastly inflated whenever he does move. He's young and hyped in an era where England are especially weak in his position. I think his long term position will be as a centre back though and he won't ever be anything spectacular.

Also he's a cunt.

I don't know why anybody would want that outside of the few clubs who have obscene depth like Man City. How does it keep getting floated?

Josh Rosen is the Good Luck Chuck of the NFL. You play him and then you get your franchise QB the next year!
