    Have to give Jose 18 months though if United don't get in top four.... Yeah hope Jose does not bring himself into disrepute.

    Chelsea were good value today. Thought we were OK, but no point having stats and no goals. Needs sorting. Defence was gubbins at times.

    Get in!
    4-0 against Jose's United. That's almost as good as winning the league for this Chelsea fan.

    Disappointed with our loss at home today. Need to win as many home games as you can in the Championship to stand a chance of promotion!

    I predicted Newcastle to finish top despite poor start, I still think Norwich will finish second despite dropping points in last few games.

    That would be nice. Newcastle are the team to beat! That must have been a hard result for Jose to accept today?

    Although worth noting that he made you a force, rather than the bang average club you'd been for decades. You could be another Newcastle or Villa without him.

    A nightmare showing though I suppose it's only three point at end of the day, just hope we can get into top four at this stage.

    Our defence was shite, but I don't think you can call it 'nightmare'. Chelsea were just better.

    It was not great mate though it's just one game, Baily has a bad knee injury which is a blow.

    Footie innit? Still not sure what we're trying to do, though. Would be good to sort it soon.

    I heard it was because of his reaction to the 4th goal, but may not be that. Think it's a respect thing. I remember Fergie saying after drubbing your lot 8-2 he found it awkward. To be fair to Conte, though, the Utd fans were outsinging the home fans at that point.

    I've a lot of time for Jose. But I'm quite happy to see him lose to Chelsea. He did a lot for the club, but his ego got the better of him in the end. Started losing respect of players and people behind the scenes. The Eva situation being the start of his downfall imo.
    I believe the Chelsea fans were signing "You're not special anymore."
    They were also cheering him on arrival apparently. If the special one doesn't like the ribbing, then he shouldn't dish it out either.

    Think he was just having a pop at Conte. Although, to be fair, I imagine Conte would celebrate an equaliser against Burnley like winning the World Cup; he seems to be that kind of bloke.

    Conte is a genuine football man,player to manager status..he is an honest breath of fresh air,along with Herr Klopp...

    Well done to England and Scotland for the Rememberance tribute at Wembley tonight. Glad to see you all stick to FIFA. Shame Wales did not follow suit as this is more important than a possible points deduction. Would say shame on you FIFA but your are bathed in it already.

    To say you can't have anything political on shirts is farcical when although i agree with it to a point? Why have kick racism slogans out of football plastered all over footballers then? Both have merits yet one is seen far above the other?

    Bloody hell we've scored !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  • Get in England 1 up good going despite having to look at Scotland's kit.

    Well said @RogueAgent
  • Posts: 19,339
    That kit is horrendous...why not wear their home kit ? they must know we would take the piss out of it !
  • That's what I thought would have made sense to wear the home kit, Barca have a similar dreadful pink kit.
  • Posts: 19,339
    but Barca win matches and are not a second rate footballing nation...William Wallace,Braveheart ,attacking King Richard I dressed in pink ?hahhaa
  • Ha ha they probably trying to invoke Barca quality, England need to improve or Scotland may nick something.
