OK...I'll accept the insanity plea and take it to arbitration...or as @asvaberg might say..arsitration.... Expecting a LOT of snow tonight,,,my head is going!

Sigh..there goes the last voice of sanity chipping in on the "subject" @east lower I am going to lobby the mods so that in the future you will not be allowed access to the shameless Ham and Nobbly puns...(others may be added)..I can't have a poster who's opinions I look to being dragged down by such reprobates... (It's for your own good)'

Brilliant........

OK...I find easy to relate the "subject" in hand to the red lot from up North!...to add Mrs C observation on me sharing the exchanges..."So you've all gone Rude ?".... and she didnnt mean Gullit!

Although Jane over on the Khobar site it would be considered appropriate by many!

Ham and Nobly....go to your rooms...that is shameless!...although spot on I may add.

Chris or Cole!!!😁 The amazing ability that the members here have to be able to debate any serious (?) subject and then turn it all upside down and laugh at and with themselves.

I believe Jane is far tougher than that and is just letting boys be boys.... usual sensible female response to the constant proof that it is a minor miracle that many of us (not me of course) chaps actually survived adolescence late teenage and twenties,,,,at least we somehow have almost matured about now! 🤕🥳😱🍺🚔💔

Not wishing to get into a statistics argument or with penalties without penalties debate..BUT...FFS....the penalties.. Not the add to your account at 3-0 final nail etc efforts in the main....some real bum clencher ones at crucial moments in games against real opposition....at 21?...... just amazing.

Interesting to and fro,,,quick OG response...Havertz...indeed a "moments" player... the bewildering ONLY WON THE EUROPEAN CHAMPIONSHIP TWICE! Go through the EPL and beyond,,, or just take the London "elite"....how many followers can stand up and say that?.....some red shirted and white shirted fans would give a left 🥜 to be able to say that.

Hmm...Rethinking my view on the guy following such opinions from respected members, Never looked at him as a Chelsea possible...not dismissed the idea just not in my thoughts,,,BUT I always see him as one of those "annoying",,..from a Chelsea/oppo pov ...players always in someones face and committed. So looking from a different perspective I can see him as a viable transfer in. Good call guys...what "annoys" me is probably what Chelsea need all round!

Exactly as I pointed out ..that deep English reserve and shyness coming to the fore!

Now that IS a response😁!

Hmm...Omaha...A Waylon song... a Peyton Manning play call..(much enjoyed and used as a smile by him) and a one night stopover for me traversing the country from Up State NY to Denver... I also see the BM's Well Known English Reserve and shyness coming to the fore again 😄🫣🙍‍♂️🌞

Yes ..there are still aspects of the American Psyche I struggle with!

Thank you guys.... I understood that there was no real animosity in the posts .

🐘🦣🤡,,,,,,

OK..Now guys...I take the spirit of the views expressed regarding USA and I think we have owners with no awareness of what the game is and represents around the World... BUT... with due respect..if ordinary people had not crossed the Atlantic to oppose Fascism we would all probably be speaking a different language and Europe would not look as it is now. I live here and have done so for over 25 years....warts and all it is still a great,,if hard..country to live in and the real Americans are incredibly generous and kind hearted...look beyond the headlines (That goes for many countries) In no way is this a political comment...please don't drag my friends and neighbours into an expression of the dissatisfaction with a USA based Business Operation.

I'm confused EL..... are we talking about crazy elephants here?...... or back to Lukaku?

It think you meant why Poch ?..AS IN MANY WAYS...why did he? (ANYTHING) and just WHY?

Sigh...Mark back on the fence again!😉Back to being a voice in the wilderness without his support..or me for him!🤣

Over simplifying but Custer's actual battle plan wasn't bad...just didn''t understand what he was up against...an overwhelmingly stronger opposition in many ways than he had anticipated...sound familiar? Nearly everyone on here has come to the same conclusion...given a spectrum of opinion... that The Poch is just not good enough and for me his inability or unwilligness to make any effort to set up a side to make it difficult to beat..pragmatic is the need at times...is a very real reason for him to go....I'm all for trying to win games and gung ho at times but how about trying not to lose games?

I looked at the team sheet just before I left for the clinic appointment....my reaction was exactly the same as most if not all on here.... it didn't take a high level coaching/playing ability to see a disaster just waiting the opening/closing whistle...... I finally was sat in the waiting room just after the end of the game and foolishly looked at the result before meeting the Cardio surgeon who pretty much saved my life way back in 2016...no dramatics but true,,, knowing my Chelsea loyalty he asked about Chelsea...you can imagine the conversation,,,fortunately the EKG test and BP showed no Chelsea impact...grateful for small mercies!

Thanks..saved me the posting!....out any minute now...as BM said.."Maybe there is a kindly Football God"

That's one for the memory book! .....FFS.🐴
