Next would be the coach, he’d also get a first yellow for simulation also - simulating a competent football coach and a second yellow for arguing that he actually is. I wonder if he will give us soft penalties like he recently did for United and Liverpool, when the opposition's sock brushed the players leg? Or will he not a give a penalty even when their GK tries to decapitate one of our players, and wait for VAR to bail him out ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate to be that guy again but the last four (IIRC) penalties we've been given have been given by VAR after the Referee "failed to see them" (on purpose) It's not just Taylor it's institutionalised gerrymandering of results . I saw the Liverpool equaliser last night and there were two occasions in the build up where had we been dishing out robust challenges like Liverpool did (neither were terrible) we'd have been penalised , I'm not saying Liverpool should have been rather that neither should we be and we routinely are, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holymoly Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 On a positive note if we win we could potentially leapfrog Newcastle and Manure given their fixtures. Brighton too but they should get something against Wolves. Surely that should motivate the players as well as encourage the manager to go for the throat. At the moment we play with 80% posession then when we find an opening we just play the ball backwards again. Yet another opportunity to improve our lot. Mid table mediocrity is heller frustrating ain't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chara Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 21 hours ago, My Blood Is Blue said: Well that’s that then. Who’s going to get the reds? My guess is Palmer and Gusto. Hmm..I go for our keeper...gets a yellow for shouting at his defence then another for looking incredulously at the Ref...if Alfie plays a red for daring to tackle and touching the oppo with his hand as he falls.....just part of the game as they say,,,Lose some ..Win some..oh wait...... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He signed on for a completely different club and project to the one he'd eventually be involved in, and without any real investment in or connection to Chelsea I could see him leaving very quickly. He's too old to be hanging around years in the vague, likely vain, hope we get it together. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’d still be a saleable asset as he’ll not have a tarnished playing reputation, mostly because he’s not likely to have played given how things have transpired as regards injuries. One of the only things that the gang of three and the owners seem good at is buying footballers who don’t play football anymore. Top of the league for that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarefreeMuratcan Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 5 minutes ago, Mark Kelly said: Congratulations! Hope Mum is OK , any ideas on what she's going to be called? Elif İris. Elif is the Turkish pronunciation of the Arabic character Alif, which is cognate with the Greek letter Alpha. The character looks like this: It's associated with first and it has a holy meaning as the first letter of the Kuran (although I'm Atheist myself, I find the holy meaning interesting and meaningful). Also it is a female name because of the shape of the character being slender, slim, beautiful etc. İris is from the Ancient Greek goddess of the rainbow. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
