The biggest problem for me is the ref not looking at his monitor which apparently Oliver did in a cup game this season. He has a look gives a red card and it shows up the var officials to be the utter myopic twats that they are.

John Murray's 5live's football chief football reporter I don't mind him everyone else on there is a bland middle England wanker but even he came out with some utter bollocks this evening. He basically said we should cut the Stockley Park twat some slack as it was human error for God's sake it's his job and he's the only person who's seen the foul that didn't think it was a red card it's staggering incompetence. Why don't the refs use their monitors surely this is the decision that broke the straw on the camel's back if any ref is relying on those Stockley Park bozos then what's the point of having the monitors at all. VAR is killing football and as Chelsea fans we've seen the worse of it in the last couple of days two clear red cards and two disallowed goals.

Well they can't argue with this. Fuck VAR, fuck Spurs and fuck the special needs one.

Comparisons can be made with Keegan in 96 or whatever year it was. A beloved ex player Newcastle were 12 points ahead of Man United and then contrived to throw it away. A 12 point lead squandered is unacceptable whatever the circumstances we should have picked up points against the likes of West Ham, Newcastle, Bournemouth and Southampton. Keegan and Lampard both playing open football and always looking vulnerable both adored by both sets of fans both could have the same outcome.

It's the total arrogance of these people that drives you mad and yet fair play to Klopp he answered this kid's letter. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/av/uk-northern-ireland-51590761/jurgen-klopp-tells-young-manchester-united-fan-i-can-t-make-liverpool-lose

Anagram of the day Ladbrokes is an anagram of Broke Lads.

I can understand that completely as we did have a terrible reputation but to be honest going to the Bridge back in the day you'd rarely see trouble especially when we were in the 2nd division. We used to play teams like Oldham, Burnley, Carlisle who would bring about 50 fans down you'd be in the back of the Shed and even though it was a good distance away you could count them cause they were in the corner of the Northstand (MH now) Different story away from home where we used to attract bread and butters from all over the place most of them not interested in football they weren't thugs just geezers who liked anarchy and smashing things up. I saw a bloke chuck ball bearings under a police horse at Plymouth once I mean who goes to football with the intention of doing that ?

Anyone who calls a 6-0 away win a shit performance is just taking the piss and takes football and commenting on football far to seriously. stop trying to be an apprentice Neville or Carragher. And again and this is my final post on this if we dominate tomorrow and lose come and post on here and say you were happy because you'll be in a minority of one. If Fury dominates tomorrow and gets caught with a sucker punch in the last round it will be scant consolation to him, his fans and people who had money him that he dominated but ultimately lost. You keep changing the narrative by using other games and you're last sentence means fuck all am I supposed to second guess what you're talking about ?. The bottom line was you were happy that we dominated against 10 men and nobody else was and so they shouldn't be.

It was a shit performance and you were trying to put a positive spin on it and there isn't one. And what's the difference between in your words in terms of territory and possession ? You can only be dominant again your words with the ball which equates to possession of the ball.

Here you go mate absolutely dominating against 10 men is no consolation at all. If the same happens tomorrow would you post this again? Only on a forum could you say this if I said it tomorrow after the game in the pub or the tube home people would tell me not to be such a twat.

Good article this and should put to bed this bollocks narrative that having ball possession is something to take comfort in. It's the complete opposite it's a major flaw in your game if you dominate the ball have no final product and lose or draw against 10 men. We're going to have all the ball tomorrow if we lose the game against a team with no recognised strikers then serious questions have to be asked. https://inews.co.uk/sport/football/frank-lampard-chelsea-manchester-united-ole-gunnar-solskjaer-champions-league-top-four-1883536

There are still old boys like us going away but there is definitely a lot of younger geezers going to away which is good. I believe Chelsea lost a generation of fans between 75-95. We were young then FB so we stayed but young fans tended to go for Spurs, Arsenal although not in the 80's for them Liverpool and United. Lets be honest Chelsea were not exactly a major pull for young fans then three relegations, hooliganism, racism, crumbling ground which was the most expensive in the country to get in. Our reputation as well stopped a lot of younger fans going as well I know a couple of geezers who are QPR season ticket holders simply because their parents wouldn't let them go to Chelsea matches !.

I must admit I started using the term septic tank after watching this. All sketch shows date and the Fast Show has but all Simon Day's characters haven't he had the best ones Dave Angel, Competitive Dad, John Actor and Billy Bleach.

I hate when ex players co- commentate on their old teams. Last night McManaman's bias was nauseating tonight Jenas is completely frustrated by Spurs and you can hear the anguish in his voice. It's pretty obvious he's no fan of Mourinho he's not even dropping hints he's blatantly saying it ha ha.

Don't take the fucking high moral ground with me mate you're the one who wanted a Chelsea player to be injured. And I'll swear my head off at anyone who makes such crass statements. And that last pathetic statement has nothing to do with Chelsea and is totally irrelevant.

He looks like a Liverpool player from the 80's I was going to say on holiday but vacation is probably more apt

I don't understand this what wasn't sustainable playing defensive football ?

Go to a bar full of geezers wearing ten gallon hats, eating grits and corn dogs and listening to The Eagles then you might find him

Go to any bar playing Northern Soul Did you know he's actually a septic tank he came to the UK when he was 14 he got heavily influenced by British culture presumably. If I left London to go to the USA when I was a teenager I couldn't imagine giving myself the moniker Uncle Sam !

You want one of our players to get injured what a fucking prick.

We dominated before we went down to ten aswell. Ofcourse in terms of the match result it's meaningless but you can always look at game situations win, draw or lose and see potential signs going forward. For example in reverse, the 2015 title season, it was great to win the league but it was obvious to anyone with a set of eyes (or not in denial) we were close to big big trouble, and so it proved. I'll give you your due son you're definitely a half glass full person but it's the oldest cliche in the book it's a results business and saying we dominated against Arsenal is irrelevant if you don't win the game. Liverpool dominated possession last night, that game in 2015 when we beat Man United 1-0 at the Bridge and had only 26% possession that was and still is Mourinho's raison d' etre. If we have 80% of the ball and lose on Saturday I can't imagine anyone is going to say I'm devastated about the result but on the plus side I'm thrilled about our ball possession.

Can I take the fifth on that ? . His past Spurs connection would bother me and if it started badly he'd get dreadful stick.

Leave it out mate I know a lot of Spurs fans and he's massively popular. They were a mid table club before he came he got them to almost winning the league and the champions league final. He took over from Tim Sherwood for fucks sake Spurs were two bob till he took over.

So what he was our best player we all know that .

Mourinho is a mercenary he'd go anywhere. He's still well liked Poch at Spurs some managers like to maintain their legacy Mourinho doesn't care less.
