Right, and what time is the egg & spoon race?

They’re professional footballs, not a fucking charity case.

Do we really think Matip is ever going to get over these issues?

Davies may make the squad for tomorrow, but I’d expect it to be Henderson & Phillips again. Sunday, however, I would like to see Davies in there. If he is quick and reads the game well like people are saying, then I’d prefer him over Phillips. Do we know if Fab is meant to be back for that one?

Ridiculously bad luck, but he will have to be moved on in the summer. Shame, he’s really good when he plays.

Well, signing two players like this may free up Fabinho to come back into midfield. So Phillips may be a bit higher up than expected. By all accounts Davies & Kabak are a lot better so I’m not complaining. Good to see that it’s a loan with no obligation to buy for Kabak. If he ends up dogshit he can stay at Schalke

Joel fucking Matip, what a frustrating player.

@Storts by any chance have both Son & Kane picked up minor injuries that will definitely rule them out for Thursday, and Thursday alone?

Klopp stays even if we finish 10th. Nobody I want taking us through this rough patch but Jurgen.

Been on 80/90’s action kick the last couple of days. T2 - 9/10 Air Force One - 8/10 Under Seige - 7/10 Road House - 7/10

Rafa has left his job in China...

I asked more than one question.

Since there was little input outside of me and @Dr. Gonzo in the Burnley match day thread, what are the thoughts from my fellow reds? Do we expect to see this bad run end anytime soon? How do you think we will fair in these next 7 games? Do any of you think we may need to dip into the market now?

There’s having faith with reason and then there’s having blind faith, and it’s sounds like you’ve got the latter. Has Lampard really done anything to warrant the faith you’re telling others to have? I appreciate he’s a club legend, but he is doing a bad job. There’s nothing to suggest he has an idea how to get out of this rut, it’s just constant chop and change every game.

I’m all for giving the right manager time, but I keep hearing the same things from every Chelsea supporter; that there is no identity, no plan, no cohesion and that the players seem to be just thrown onto the pitch. I’m sorry, but you cannot give more time to somebody who doesn’t know how to use the tools he specifically requested. Lampard chose players he wanted, the club bought them and he hasn’t had any idea what the fuck to do with them. It’s pathetic, and I’d be getting rid right now because you need top four as a bare minimum, and right now that doesn’t look likely.

Just finished the second episode and it’s very good thus far. Agree on your last point though, it’s scary as fuck.

Title will be going back to the Etihad if we don’t have a fit senior centre back alongside Fabinho for the rest of the season, be it Matip staying fit (ha) or a new signing. Can’t see past City otherwise.

I’ve seen it all, and I love it. It’s Hallmark Channel level, but I like the characters and the setting.

Watched the first two episodes of Wandavision...not sure what to make of it yet. It was nice and pleasant enough, and had some hints towards something more so will have to keep an eye on how things progress So far it gets a 7 because I was entertained, I think that score will rise after a couple more.

Imagine losing Dembele and signing Slimani as the replacement....dire.

Saw the picture of the contents of that food box and it was a fucking disgrace. Hopefully some public outcry can get them actually providing food to the value of £30 or get them removed from the scheme altogether. This company Chartwell’s has previous of this sort of shite as well. Saw another article where they had charged £11 quid for about three chocolate biscuits, a packet of crisps and a slab of butter. Utter utter cunts.

If nothing happens this month then I’ll not be mentioning it again.

Stop telling me “it doesn’t work like that”. You’re putting words in my mouth. If you read earlier, I told Mike that I wouldn’t jeopardise summer business to sign somebody this window. And as far as forwards go, I’ve always maintained that we needed a better back up than Origi, and we got it in Jota.
