Chelsea - FA Cup SF | Post-Match Thread

I always think of tennis players and cyclists when I hear this. Two games at 90 mins running approximately 10k.

Compared with a tennis player who could play 4 hours per day and a tour cyclist who could ride 7 hours a day for 200 miles in gruelling heat up mountains.

Footballers are over pampered and if we keep telling they can’t play 180 minutes a week they will believe it.
Didn’t Eddie Izzard run 7 marathons in 7 days ? I’ve never really understood how playing two games of football a week is that difficult for a finely tuned athlete.


edited, he actually ran 27 in 27 days in 2016 and recently ran 31 in 31 days.
 
Bookie's not in the least bit bothered by yesterday, we are favourite to beat PSG away and win the chumps league.
 
Fairly obvious why he selected the XI he did. And if we win the next two games, his selection will be vindicated

Squad rotation is all well & fine during the middle of the season in order to get ahead of your competitors later on with ‘fresh’ bodies but what are you now saving yourself for with a few weeks till the end of the season.

Plus, it’s not as if Walker & Zinchenko had been playing week in and week out & needed a rest.

By that theory we should have rested KDB.

At this stage of the season we should be putting out our strongest teams to neutralise the opposition & win games. Not to put out teams to think about future games which by your vindication logic means we’ve sacrificed the FA Cup for a league game & League Cup final. There shouldn’t be a need for a vindication in the first place - rant over.

and this is on quality pitches not like the pitches of the 50s,60s and 70s, in those days the old Division 1 had more games i think 42 so games came twice a week and played on mud baths in the winter
 
Fuck me, what a bunch of petty, self entitled, drama queens we have become. There isn't a fanbase in the world that wouldn't swap with us. There isn't a player in world football who wouldn't salivate at the prospect of winning the medals we are challenging for over the next few weeks.

We've got this far by rotation, a remarkable sequence of results. Win after win. A great season, the likes of which we've never seen before. Barca would swap their domestic cup win for a shot at the CL. The rags would swap their toy town cup semi for the League title. The scousers would swap a month of Giro's for 4th. Fucking 4th. Now, that is pathetic. FOURTH. And would anyone wanna be a Tarquin for the next decade?

We lost a game of football FFS.

Move on, have a nice Sunday dinner and get fucking real.

We never win at home and we never win away.

MCFC OK.
