Lerma hit that ball with anger !!! 2nd half was so much better from chelsea.
scoreline flattered chelsea to be fair. the 1st half was terrible

Jaden Philogene 🔥

wow !

Annoyingly (for him) took a bit of a deflection and went down as an own goal.

missed the defection. still a brilliant effort, but it does detract from it a bit

Here for an own goal winning the Puskás award.

Sent him to fetch a hot dog and back again to get ketchup. Baller

Really good. Who doesn’t love a cruyff?

Kane's bid for a trophy is going well.

Manchester United's squad last year were the "most expensive ever assembled" in football, says a Uefa report.

The European Club Finance and Investment Landscape report says United's players at the end of their 2023 financial year cost 1.42bn euros (£1.21bn) in combined transfer fees.

The 2020 Real Madrid squad were previously the most costly at £1.13bn.

United's squad included £82m Antony, £80m Harry Maguire, £73m Jadon Sancho and £70m Casemiro.

The total does not include £72m Rasmus Hojlund, £55m Mason Mount or £47m Andre Onana, all of whom joined in the 2023 summer transfer window.

The optics of Steve Parish sacking Roy Hodgson whilst he's in hospital are wild.

He should have sacked hom on Monday. Bit silly if he has done it today

Maybe Roy taking “ a dive “ in training is the best way to let him go out with a bit of respect ? ! I bet he cheers up in hospital with a few grapes and the thought of not having to go back to that shit/stress !

Good luck tonight

Millwall on Wednesday was a weird one - there were hardly any home fans there, no atmosphere at all created by them. Lots of home fans left after 30 minutes - I assumed to get a drink but they never came back.

We scored four without needing to play well, and I think there were only about 3 shots altogether in the second half.

A selfish good luck but I'll take it.

Going to be a party.

top of the Championship is riveting stuff at the moment.
will watch the baggies in my local tonight

good luck @Soul - catching soton on a real losing streak so timing couldnt be better

Thanks Jonny. Need to find another time for you guys to come up to the hawthorns - we're playing good stuff at home.

catching soton on a real losing streak so timing couldnt be better

Lol. Last game was their first loss in 23 games. Hoping we can make tonight their 2nd.

I like Bellerin

Calls for an alternative footballers xi. I would offer Bellerin and Assou-Ekotto as the full backs.

If any team that isn't Southampton or Leeds gets the other automatic slot that's a massive achievement given how rigged the system of parachute payments is.

It won't be us but playoffs are still a massive achievement if we can stay up there.

albion v unlucky not to equalise in the last 15 mins of that half. Playing some good stuff. game is toight

What did Coberan do to get sent off after six minutes?

tidy performance today, played some lovely football for some of todays goals. brentford looked a bit disorganised at the back, mee didn't even bother to chase salah when he scored, just left it to the one remaining defender.

looks like our hopes for the quadruple might be torpedoed by injuries though, two key players injured in the first half, nunez at half time, alisson hamstrung and trent out.
injuries hitting us just at the wrong part of the season, maybe next season

Still can't believe we Hudson-Odoi for £3m. Thanks Chelsea.
