Why didn't Palmer play?
Potch out.

I know I go on like a broken record talking about how good Manuel Akanji is, Again today he was fucking sublime. To be given thar midfield role by Pep and take it on like he has is fucking unbelievable.

£15m has to be the greatest steal of all time. The so called "Best Centre Back Of All Time" Van Dijk...Imagine him trying to do what Akanji does! Not a fucking hope. He wouldn't lace his boots, Plus Manu would fuck him about like a rag doll.

It is time the FA took control and stopped this nonsense that TV schedules rule when teams have to play, but I am also annoyed about getting rid of FA Cup replays. Some media idiots are trying to blame top clubs but this is entirely due to the greed of Fifa and Uefa. What are clubs supposed to do, recruit ten more World class players?

Fantastic, I think we all needed that.

That had banana skin written all over it after what happened midweek but now we can focus and march on.

Got to love the guy at the end who tucked the chelsea part of his half n half under his armpit and celebrated

Did Foden get a yellow, or was it for the Chelsea keeper fannying around?

Pretty sure Foden was booked.

Doku made the difference and Oretga kept us in it. Hard fight by everyone. Jack was really good. Buzzing for Silva as I do love a great redemption arc.
What we saw was a very shattered team. Pep's rant at the FA and PL said it all.

Didn't catch any of the match as I'm currently getting shitfaced at the food & wine festival in Disneyland.
Well done blues & well done Bernardo.

Said on tv a yellow for dissent and shows as getting a yellow on sky sports website.

The football authorities should be doing everything they can to help English Teams in Europe. Arsenal shouldn’t really be playing today either. It’s crazy.
