We’ve another one. In fairness phonics was probably getting lonely up there.

That VAR decision in the Madrid/PSG game was horseshit. That's never a foul on Marcelo.
Chelsea Twitter for the last six months has been an open battlefield based entirely around the 'Y-word'.
The protagonists. On the the progressive side: Dan Levene, a minor journalist and Chelsea fan of Jewish background who goes to every Chelsea game as press and live tweets the action, mostly in earnest. However, whenever he hears one of the two terrace songs that include the word 'Yid' referring to Tottenham Hotspur, or the one song that includes the word 'pikeys' referring to West Ham, he posts tweets like this:
He has cautious support from the more luvvie end of Chelsea Twitter. However, his bitter enemies, much like the Night King's Army of the Dead, are the endless rump of core Chelsea supporters who follow him around calling him 'nonce', claiming that he is himself a racist as he once posted tweets lolling at the songs concerned, claiming he is a conspiracist working against Our Club, or deploying various other common abuse techniques in the same vein. 'Fuck Dan Levene' has even become a regular rondo amongst the away support. He responds by quote tweeting his enemies, calling them racists and trying to @ their employers, if available.
It's a wholly dignified war that will rage on until the end of time. I think I'm a neutral, broadly, hiding in Chelsea Switzerland swilling on flat Singha beer.
Real Madrid giving up a 2 goal lead in 2 minutes, ha.
Last fifteen minutes were pretty great.
wait pikey is a slur?
If you just count Bundesliga and Champions League, Lewandowski has scored 26 goals in 17 games.
Different level of course but Erling Haaland is only nineteen and has the same number of goals in one more game.
Kind of makes me wonder how obscene Ronaldo's goal tally would look if he stayed in Portugal.
Seriously fat man.
Who cares about “yids” actually
Be great if Chelsea let Reece James take set pieces. His crossing is on another level.
Christensen/Zouma is a Championship level partnership as well. Grim.
When people were calling him fat in the summer he posted a topless photo showing he's evidently not.
The fact that was even given as a penalty
Kepa is an absolute calamity. What the fuck was that m. Hahahaha.
Can Napoli play Liverpool every week?
This nerd sprinting to the locker room lol
Another goal conceded first. Another one with this stupid high line at fault. Another poor first half.
I can't wait to see it all again against Brighton.
Get Oxlade-Chamberlain on.
Also Alexander-Arnold for down the right. Not sure Gomez was the right choice for this game.
Not great this.
Ziyech is a wonderful player.
Napoli have made this so fucking boring.
Hopefully we kick on now.
Salah holding Koulibaly off, fucking hell.
Will only make it more laughable next time he falls over because little Ryan Fraser burped in his direction.
That's some hit from Sancho.
I would have much rather have put it to bed tonight but alas it wasn't to be. We'll have enough to qualify but a missed opportunity to make December a little 'easier'.
We (Liverpool) are close to going on 4 or 5 game winless run. I fear that Klopps lack of rotation, particularly at FB and upfront will cost us. Salah and Robertson carrying quite serious knocks. Add Fabinho to that list now. TAA looks shot, and Henderson just doesn't have the drive anymore.
Still, top of the league.
We were laughably naive last night and fortunate not to lose.
We're fine. There's just a couple of little things to iron out.
I'm really not sold on this high line for example. I understand it allows Trent and Robertson to bomb on and pin teams back, but as seen last night it can be vulnerable to a well timed run in behind. Though they were lucky Van Dijk was down and the ball went right into the gap he'd have been in.
From there we were left with the Brexit midfield of old trying to break a team down, which as we know it can't do. This is the perfect time to bring the likes of Ox, Lallana and Keita into the fold and maybe go back to more of an open style. Shaqiri coming back now is well timed too.
Last night just looked worse than it was due to Napoli having no intentions on winning the game once the scores were level. It was all about not losing.
The next 4 league games are Brighton, Everton, Bournemouth and Watford with the trip to the south coast being the only one away. That Watford game could be an opportunity for rest. You could also make a case to take the kids/reserves over to Qatar. The ones who dont travel would then get 9 days rest after the Villa game.
I really think we need to be looking to buy during January. Some rotation options at full back would ease things massively. Gomez is just not a full time right back I'm afraid.
Gomez is all brawn no brain. Shouldn't be near the first eleven in all honesty.
He does seem to be regressing at an alarming rate, not that he should really be playing on the right at all.
It's also a lot to do with who he's playing against. He does his defensive duties at RB quite well as you'd expect, however looks lost when he pushes beyond the halfway line. Against a team that was always going to look to absorb pressure, he is of little use.
Breaking his leg last season hasn't helped at all. But if given a run at CB again we could see him back to his best. It's no coincidence to me that his best form came after a full pre season and then long runs in the team at CB.
His positioning is incredibly poor.
As nice as it would be for Gomez to rediscover his past form, it's important to recognize it will be difficult to replace VVD now that the world class Lovren has returned.
Lee Grant must be fuming that he's not only having to actually play a game but that he's having to fly a bazillion miles to do it.
Manc Sean is currently freezing his nuts off in Kazakhstan.
Maybe that's the answer to his old signature.
I'm looking through the United website profiles of these players. I'm liking that we have a player called "Largie" and also that Max Taylor's bio starts with "Formerly known as Max Dunne, his name was changed to Max Taylor from February 2019."
Thanks for that, guys, that's really all I wanted to know.
Astana must be shit if they've allowed Lingard (not Astana, as I initially typed ) to do a thing.

Feyenoord Rangers looks the pick of what Virgin is showing anyway. Some difference in atmosphere to the Wolves game.
You forget the Braga stadium is built into a mountain. It's like playing PES4 with maniche, scoring screamers from 30 yards.
We've been dire.
That's more like it. Alfredo Morelos is a machine.
Unfortunately Filip Helander is a comedian.
