May 22, 20232 yr Think you will see a stark difference from one Manchester club who were literally in party mode to another Manchester club desperate to secure Champions League football. I predict a proper ass whooping 4-0.

May 23, 20232 yr Where I live I dislike the Man U fans more than any other so I would like a win but not really bothered. The end of the season usually starts our holiday in Portugal,but my wife is reluctant to leave our oldest cat who is showing signs of dementia. I'm tempted to go on my own but really how could you?

By the way if my wife was showing signs of dementia I would be away like a shot.😉

The bloke on the other side asks why the seat is vacant and the old boy tells him that it used to be his wife's but she died. That's terrible the man said, but couldn't you get someone else to take the ticket? No said the old guy, they are all at her funeral. (Sorry about the cat mate, one of our dogs is in a similar situation. Sucks.
May 24, 20232 yr Disappointing that one of our biggest away games of the season has come way to late to mean anything.

And yes the cat situation is sad.She has been with us for twelve years and survived longer than her four kittens.
May 25, 20232 yr For anyone interested here is Frank's pre-match presser. An interesting tidbit being Lampard addressing how he's stressed wanting the team to do the basics - running, commitment on the pitch, etc. And that since he's been here he's learned reasons as to why this hasn't happened on a consistent basis.
May 25, 20232 yr Who’s going to start tonight… don’t care as it will not make a blind bit of difference. I do hope Chukwuemeka gets a start though, along with Mudryk and Madueke… expect to see Sterling, Havertz and Kovacic though.
May 25, 20232 yr I genuinely can’t remember a time where I’ve gone into EVERY game as a Chelsea fan, fully expecting to lose, but that is absolutely where I’m at now, which is somewhat depressing. So why, WHY, do I keep watching them?
May 25, 20232 yr It's the triumph of hope over experience (a bit like second marriages) Edited May 25, 20232 yr by Sciatika

May 25, 20232 yr The same as the rest of us, I'd guess, Sam ... a mixture of habit (what else is there to do on a Thursday night?), loyalty, Micawberishness, and sheer bloodymindedness. Let's hope they make this a night to remember. For the right reasons, for once, please lads ....
May 25, 20232 yr Kepa, Azpilicueta, Chalobah, W.Fofana, Hall, Gallagher, Enzo, Chukwuemeka, Madueke, Mudryk, Havertz subs: Mendy, Silva, Pulisic, Felix, Loftus-Cheek, Ziyech, Koulibaly, D.Fofana, Gilchrist
