Football

How come you're always so butthurt about Liverpool?

that's what the football thread is all about ... butthurtedness

Because he doesn't have the fortitude to tell us who he supports but I suspect it is The Scum.

You are a middle aged Londoner, how can you seriously refer to a football team as The Scum? Ffs.

Based on video evidence, I thought that was the approach of all middle aged Londoners.

Yes exactly 🤣

7 years to rebuild after hodgson

" When we played Napoli in 2010-11...

Reina
Johnson
Konchesky
Kyrgiakos
Carragher
Meireles
Spearing
Poulsen
Shelvey
Jovanovic
Ngog.

"

Should have got rid of Carra sooner.

And you've still got fuck all to show for it, settle, petal...

Happy belated 10 year anniversary to this classic moment in football history.

racist one day, anti semitic the next, whatever next, the chelsea fans will come out as anti monarchists ..... the animals

I'm sure that would attract more derision from The Sun.

Got Burnley on the weekend.
Under the sheriff’s management not usually a game that I’d worry about. But after the emotion of getting out of our champions league group, can see a drop in intensity coming.
Burnley need to be scraping results anyway they can and pochettino will probably be looking to rotate, and give moura and Lamela a chance to impress, whilst resting son and possibly Eriksen..

A game we need to win, especially if Liverpool drop points at Utd, so we can keep ourselves in place to be in the title hunt post Christmas..

I think I'll print that post and save it for the next time I'm suffering from insomnia...

I shudder to think how much you’ll write should spurs ever win anything. ;)

Spurs away this weekend. Are there actually any decent pubs that away fans can get into near Wembley?

I've been to various other games there in the past and never found anywhere decent.

Never gonna happen, sleep easy... #printit #sleeplikeababy

When I go we’ve been heading to beer And burger in Willesden Green, for craft beers and decent burgers. Then hop on the jubilee line to Wembley Park. It’s like 15mins and then you’ve just got the long walk up Wembley way.

There are no decent pubs in Wembley, well none that I could see.

Kahrai King with a bag of beers from the Tesco over the road, only way to do Wembley.

The story about antisemetic chants during last night's game was broken by Dan Levene. He tweeted about racist chants in a song sung at every game for the past four decades or so which goes:

"We're not Tottenham nor the Arsenal, bring on scousers by the score, Barcelona, Real Madrid, Tottenham are a load of y**s".

Dan is coming under some unpleasant attacks for raising the issue of antisemitism. Apparently last night there were chants of "fuck off Dan Levene" during the game and he is receiving considerable abuse on social media. He is, however, both correct and perfectly within his rights to raise the issue. Why should Jewish Chelsea supporters (or indeed any other Jewish people) have to put up with that shit and the lame excuses that are made for it? Antisemitism is racism and every bit as bad as anti black racism.

Dan is a jounalist who has focused on Chelsea for donkey's years. He is a Chelsea supporter and active within organisations such as the Chelsea Supporters Trust. He is not everyone's cup of tea but I like him and he has always been very pleasant to me. I consider him a friend.

The Green man up Wembley hill road was away fans only for the Bournemouth game last season - decent enough beer.
