It has probably been the worst PL match I’ve seen in a very long time. I can live with a lack of quality, as long as there’s a bit of action and intrigue - not a smidgen of either. It’s been so bad that 15 year old re-runs of Judge Judy have taken over my interest. I've seen many terrible games as a neutral, there was one between Middlesborough and West Brom a few years ago, it was as entertaining as an abcess in the mouth, but what did I expecy when the respective head coaches of the clubs were Aitor Karanka and Tony Pulis? There was also one in the late '90s between Leicester and Wimbledon, the most entertaining thing about that game was the ball going out of the stadium! The worst ever Chelsea match I saw was a Second Division match in 1980 at the Bridge against Swansea City. The game was so poor and lacking in action that the highlight for ITV's The Big match only lasted 30 seconds. If anyone wondered why the back pass rule was brought in, you only had to watch that game, hope ITV have destroyed it from their archives! Swansea must have passed the ball back to their goalkeeper about 50 times in that game. Edited February 21 by blueandproud Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

east lower Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 (edited) Watching Wet Spam v Brentford, two thoughts: 1. Ivan Toney - Wouldn’t give you tuppence for him based on his effort, or more pertinently lack of 2. Kudos - Might have missed a gem there Edit: The W-Ham left back just scored a screamer, wonder where they got him from?

We tried low-balling them according to his agent. Imagine getting outbid by West-Ham who's ownership isn't renowned for it financial profligacy. Yet we have overpaid for at least 3 and by a lot, and who's performances and influences on the pitch are falling short of this chap. Identifying talent is these chaps from Brighton's forte apparently - Identifying how to dupe billionaire's out of millions ✅ 3. By the sounds of the score, not many covered themselves in glory. I know two STH's there and they think he's done quite well overall. Edited February 27 by east lower 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sciatika Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 I know I have said it before, but I would be taking a really close look at Adebayo before I went anywhere near Toney. Maybe, they are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe, they are. Toney's attitude and effort stunk the place out last night. Think Rashford level of apathy.

At the very best he goes to a Newcastle or West Ham level club who might go for him at a significantly knocked down price on what he was being rated at a year ago.

Apart from the number of goals, what strikes me is just how sharp their passing is. Every pass was accurate and perfectly weighted. Hate to admit it, but at this moment in time we are miles off that level of passing and movement. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Kelly Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 CIty for me , they've cheated , they know they've cheated and we know they've cheated and they know we know they've cheated Arsenal have millions of Internet spammer know all twat fans and I cannot have that, life's too short, Liverpool , Klopps leaving so leaving with a solitary "Mickey Mouse Cup" (when we win it) would do nicely 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sciatika Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 One of my favourite stories about Arsenal concerned someone walking through one of those mini-parks in Islington and noticing an Arsenal ST nailed to a tree. He thought, "I'll have that. You can never have too many nails". 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
