Lol William scoring against Chelsea 

[stokeriño]

Props to the Chelsea fans singing "we are staying up" after the equaliser.

[Szumi]

Aaaaand Felix is sent off on his debut!

[stokeriño]

Another injury and then a red card for the debutant. lol Chelsea in every conceivable respect.

Can we get a % of the €11m back? 😑

[Colly]

About £2m across the 3.5ish games missed. Money for nothing, that's the way you do it.

[FLiam]

I’ll tell you what. Joao Felix getting sent-off on his debut is top bins funny.

[Colly]

Cahill and Cole having to be positive about Fulham has broke BT Sport.

[stokeriño]

Just spending my Friday morning casually calculating the chances that Chelsea get fewer than 40 points this season (15 needed from 20 games). No big deal.

[Naitch]

I just can't believe how many supposed Chelsea fans want Potter's head served to them on a platter.

There are currently 10 senior players out injured. Azpi and Auba are clearly past it, Koulibaly looks out of his depth in the PL more often than not, and Havertz isn't cut out to be the main striker. None of this would be any different if Tuchel were still in charge and I'm not sure anyone else could do much better under these circumstances. The idea that Potter isn't good enough clearly comes from a privileged post-Abramovich viewpoint that Chelsea equals success, despite the fact that the issues have demonstrably been building for many years and the evidence that Man Utd, Arsenal, and Liverpool have all experienced it in the past too.

My main concerns are the ongoing injury crisis and the fact that several players clearly aren't good enough but fixing that takes time, and certainly isn't something you want to be doing in a January transfer window.

Benjamin Mendy not guilty on 6 counts of rape.

There is going to be a retrial in June regarding separate cases where a verdict couldn't be reached.

[Szumi]

Lol Leeds

[King Ellis]

Well this is going to be a fun night then.

[Matt]

So you're allowed to have both arms around a striker running into a loose ball in the area, gotcha.

 

It's hard keeping up with these ever changing rules

[Colly]

With Howard Webb in charge now I think we can all enjoy a load of "letting the game flow".

There's nothing enjoyable about this. Well maybe Gnonto.

[Matt]

Fuck sake. 2 very tight offsides go against us as well. We're fucking wank enough as it is without shit refs and shit luck.

[Szumi]

Definitely onside, no question about it. Hopefully for Leeds this is the end of Struijk as a LB. He's absolutely awful at it.

[Matt]

Oh both offside decisions were correct, but both by fractions; we don't need luck going against us.

 

Please sack this fucking cowboy.

He's a bit of a knob but Martinez made a great save during the first half last night.

Second half too! I thought his diving save when he saw Gnoto's far post curler really late because of being screened was exceptional goalkeeping. 

I still maintain he's a far superior keeper to any keeper Arsenal have had since letting Szczesny go.
