Europa Conference League Final 2025 | Real Betis v Chelsea | Wed 28th May '25

[Xhavenjoe]

Does Chelsea winning this open up another Europa League place then?

Just read this

There were two scenarios in which the eighth-placed team could have qualified for Europe on the final day of the season.

1) Chelsea finished seventh before winning the Conference League final next Wednesday
2) Chelsea finished sixth and Newcastle finished seventh. Chelsea then win the Conference League final next Wednesday

Since neither of those scenarios happened - Chelsea have finished fourth - there is NO European spot for the eighth-placed team, Brighton & Hove Albion.

Is it just me, or does anyone else get the impression that Joe Cole isn't the sharpest knife in the kitchen drawer?

Hes a bigger fanboy for his club than Camelgob and Spitty are for theirs

He'd be saying the same as Crouch said when asked what he'd be if he wasn't a footballer lol.

Unlike Crouch, Palmer's way too gormless to take the piss out of himself

You have a good point lol.

 

[paulchapo]

Getting to any final means nothing if you don't win it. May aswell go out in the 3rd round.

Correct, I'm just trying to make myself feel better lol.

 

[paulchapo]

He's got the personality of a discarded female sanitary product. And he's nearly as ugly as me.





Nearly.

....and me lol. I've got a better personality and humour but he's young, famous and rich lol.

The cocksoutness on TNT just then was hilarious.

Let’s not forget, this competition is that shit the rags are too good to be in it.

That palmer could be the ideal KDB replacement ;)

Tryna outdo Ratface in reffing the game now !

Huge pressure on Arteta at Arsenal now.

Both Chelsea and Spurs winning a trophy and European honours is going to ramp up the pressure immeasurably next season for them.

It's a cup or bust for Arteta next year.

Better game of football than that all PL dirge last week.

It was a refreshing change, only caught the 2nd half in a pub, but enjoyed it.

Well, yeah, I definitely wouldn't be picking him for my phone a friend on a certain quiz show

Good player though was Joe Soap, as my late old man used to call him.

I never got it when I was younger, I thought it was just a random name he gave him, but then later i found out Joe Soap means a dope in rhyming slang. Guess my dad spotted it years ago. I'm more curious about who taught my old man it, he never lived in the UK until 1991.

They said on commentary that “Chelsea have just turned a good season into a great season”

Absolutely no chance that would have been the narrative about us if we’d have won the FA Cup

We must have had a stellar season then as we beat them home and away in the league.

 

[nicko]

Ugly twat with a terrible haircut but a great footballer. Water under bridge but we obviously made a huge mistake with him. He’d stroll into our team now

When I was a kid (late 60’s early 70’s) my uncle Joe was often called Joe soap. Never knew where it came from or what it meant. Only a few left of his generation but I’ll ask if I see anyone. Made me curious now.

Yeah I guess they thought he was thick

It wasn't until a few years ago I googled the meaning and it's old rhyming slang for a fella that's a bit thick
