A Kelleher sighting in the wild bejaysus. They should get the group out of the reserves at least.
Figuring out what a Cole Palmer is and why it's worth 42.5m quid
Saudi oil money everywhere
Chelsea Boehl money everywhere
United rummaging around in the bargain bin
It being done for another few months
Something sensible like your club actually signing somebody decent
A Kelleher sighting in the wild bejaysus. They should get the group out of the reserves at least.
Doak also being unleashed. Not a right back to be seen, which suggests to me Goe Jomez is being saved for the weekend.
Doak alongside so many first-teamers is gonna be absolutely incredible viewing. Tune in for a very early glimpse of the next Messi.
That's him fucked then.
He seems to get the ball and just run at his man all the time, which is great as players are mostly coached into the boring and safe pass inside as they get older.
Tsimikas is fucking turd.
Stinker of a half for Tsimikas. Can definitely tell this is a bunch of lads making their first starts of the season. Very much liking seeing Gravenberch get the ball and turn to run it forwards.
This competition really started with Sevilla's 1-1 home draw with Lens last night. They're moving already.
After comfortably beating much inferior European opposition it is my duty to bullishly inform you all that Liverpool are BACK.
They're gonna strip the Diaz off Benjamin Brereton and send the useless gammon back to brexitball sharpish or else he's gonna relegate Villarreal.
Not to brag @Jimmy_Floyd but I saw Baba Rahman live today and it was majestic. Don't think many Chelsea fans can say the same (even witholding the majestic part).
I'm glad to know he's a real person, and not just an accounting trick. Him and mercurial Dutchman Kuk Zebuchs sharing our left side for a few years there.
It'll be like the Shawshank Redemption. He existed on paper until someone walked through the door.
Did he speak with a Russian accent and have a bit of stubble?
Charly Musonda must have him beat for time spent at club vs games played for club
Never realised that Warnock had managed quite so many games. 1,890 in mental.
For my own, not-to-be-spoken of reasons, I was just reading through the Guardian live text of Chelsea 0 Besiktas 2 from the 2003-4 Champions League season (the one that ended with us limping out to Monaco in the semi-finals). Anyway, I found this entry:
Can you imagine if they published that today? What an incredibly watered-down society we have become.15 mins: "The Guardian are covering the Chelsea and Man Ure games, but why not the Rangers game. Is it because we are Scottish, Huns or because we have no chance of qualifying?" asks Alan Gardner. To be honest Alan, it's a mixture of all three reasons. Along with a number of others that spring to mind, that involve bowler hats, lambeg drums and bulldog tattoos. Never mind, we'll be rooting for your blue-nosed boys when they take on Manchester United.
Today I heard football referred to as ‘no disability football.’ Thats gonna be the next thing isn’t it. John Spastic top England goal scorer with 112 in 44 games cos he’s deaf and playing against goalies with no hands, on Sky Sports graphics alongside Harry Kane and Ellen White.
I'm a twit
Chelsea two legs two arms one penis side are bloody crap atm.
They might be the first disabled Premier Leage team.
They dont need the chelsea op. Already come pre assembled.
Just turned Sky on and there's some completely straight-faced studio programme analysing this week's prospects in Fantasy Premier League. What the hell is happening to my country?
Ten years ago they did this but in the form of 'Merse' and that idiot Fenners having a laugh.
We're getting old Jim.
In other heads have gone news, I've just heard the Serie A anthem for the first time. Blimey, lads, Zdenek Zeman wouldn't have stood for this.

That's a bit royalty free Opera. Does the Premier League still have an anthem?
Between this and the 976 people attending Jordan Hendersons games. What a league.
Yeah, FPL ownership stats leaking into the actual football coverage was a serious red flag.
Ahead of the curve in bailing from the game this year.
On the anthem front, was at Brighton last night, which was my first European game for 18 years, and it was a similar experience to my first Premier League game in 5 or 6 years when I went to Fulham in the late noughties and was confronted by Budweiser keg rucksack people and wall to wall TVs. Having adverts for Just Eat running constantly during halftime really added to the ambiance.

The conspiracy theory part of me thinks it must be some gateway drug plot by the gambling industry.
Catching up to America. The sport is only a vehicle for the fantasy bollocks.
Makes Pickford look extra mongy.
A shame they didn't get Kane to do it.
This Beto for Everton is a great watch. Proper old-fashioned lumbering carthorse centre forward. Probably grew up with a poster of Jan Koller on his bedroom wall.
VAR spent about 2.5 minutes there looking at completely the wrong replay for the Brentford equaliser, and nearly disallowed a perfectly good goal as a result. The conclusion you have to come to is that the geezers in the booth lack a proper education to be taking on this task.
Old T-Rex arms could have done better with it as well.
I only noticed through FM that Beto and Chermiti are both 6ft3 and 6ft4 respectively. Dyche is just properly grim.
It's proper football. Fire it up to the big man. None of this poncy bollocks. Brentford fans slinking off for their vegan dinners.
That Man Utd back four is tremendous. It’s something you’d expect to see from Fulham or something.
Look forward to people acting surprised that United starting a game with a lower half defence are somehow not very good.
lol at Harry Kane barely celebrating his walking pace hat-trick and couple of assists. If he doesn't put the mother of all Fitness Advantages to good use for England after a season of pre-season then we know who to blame.
That Man Utd lineup is phenomenal
I can't state how disappointed I am in Brentford.
Go and sort them out Taz.
We are so so shit its almost art at this point.
We're the best team in the world.
Xavi Gammon Evans.
Evans.
Another defender injured
Burnley are so lightweight. And that insistence on going back and recycling possession between CBs and GK must be a pain in the arse to watch when it kills so many attacks.
