Rag or dipper? - whichever you are not a blue

Me, I was supporting Chelsea tonight. That's why i'm so disappointed.

There have been many games that I have watched gundog and wondered what he brings to the team. Then, you see his stats and realise the impact he has.
He is one of those strange players that goes largely unNoticed, but is a vital cog in the machine.

Yeah when we are struggling to break teams down the slow patient build up is so important and he plays such an important role doing that.

You don't think the £££millions they'll get for winning this will not be used to strengthen them? Interesting.!

Because clearly they had cash flow issues for making signings before...

(~£600m spent last summer)

NOT true,we are better, but they are very good.

I mean jesus christ, look at some of those rankings. Atletico apparently worse than Barcelona and Real Madrid despite just winning La Liga. Arsenal supposedly better than the Serie A champions. Man Utd better than CL semi-finalists PSG, when they got knocked out in the group stage. And wtf have Atalanta done to be considered the best team in Italy despite finishing third?

Disrespectful to both the fans and the club coming out with this shit.

Basically thinks it’s beneath him to offer a valid explanation of the performance and his role in it.

Removing himself from any responsibility.

The fuck are you talking about? He basically said he picked the team he thought had the best chance to win...He just says i tried my best..how this arrogant?

Jeepers. If Gundog is crap and he's our top scorer this season then the rest of the players must be utterly atrocious.

He was top scorer when he was playing up front, with cancelo and Bernardo found the job he wasn't able to do in DM. he was just a body up front

If we had somehow allowed United back into the title race and they pipped us to it, that would feel significantly worse than this.

I don't think he is. I think unlike the majority of us he thought this was the best selection. He's his own worst enemy at times but he's not a ****.

Every player All 11 and the subs shit their pants , that’s the cold hard facts l

Pep was the laxative.

 

[1961_vintage]

what else is he going to say ???

"We did our best but it was not our night".

Don't tell us we were "exceptional" when we were anything but. We are not fucking idiots Pep.
