  • General Football Nonsense

My ma is scottish, been over there a lot as a kid in the 90s when we had Laudrup and gazza, always been about the football not politics.

My dad isn’t a rangers fan but supports Chelsea since the 70s got me into them as a kid, that blues brothers connection is mostly in last 20 years and I doubt Londoner’s give a fk about it more a northern ireland thing. Like who suppported Chelsea in 80s and 90s outside of London.

Great match. Top class from Modric and Rudiger. Werner and Havertz were great with Mount and Ruben. Alonslow actually doing well defensively in a back four. Kante uncharacteristically losing the ball twice leading to two goals. Sad face.

    BlainSA Mount, James and Werner were particularly good and Tuchel got his selection right for this leg with an energetic midfield that rightly omitted the overrated and static Jorginho. Your boy Pulisic was terrible when he came on. TBF the best team lost and I think Alonso’s goal should have stood

        I agree. He wasn’t pressing the line like Werner and too busy trying to get the ball. Not sure if that’s what he was told to do or not, but the change in character made it even more unbalanced in their favour.

          Heno No word from Ed?

          We all know where he’s ended up.

            Hola!

            Just got back, what a night, brilliant game and the Bernabeu is absolutely fantastic.

            Everything has been said ref the game, I’ll never forget it.

                Mad_Cyril Hope you enjoyed the game as much as I did Edwand

                It was a cracker wasn’t it, loved it.

                    Commentators suggesting that Liverpool are constantly being undone by their ‘high line’, and how teams are ‘constantly going through us’ or some shite… are they on glue?

                      bosstrabs I’ve heard of Liverpool and Celtic but I wasn’t aware of this Rangers and Chelsea link.

                      Found an Intresting post on reddit about it:

                          What a bunch of cheating cnuts Athletico are… as a United fan, I’m glad City won

                          Was a great finish Jules, bit of rough and tumble 😂

                          Stadium is bouncing

                          Sounds like Savic is giving The Fop a slap in the tunnel too.

                          SM001 He’s a lot better than he used to be; I remember some of his early commentaries, he just bored on about Arsenal and Chelsea regardless of who was playing.

                              Did anyone catch what Grealish said to Savic?

                              Amps Hands down the worst commentator of all time. You’d swear he was commentating on the Hindenburg or the Berlin wall coming down the way he goes on; It’s just a throw-in on the half way line ffs.

                                Smallman1 glad you had a great one Ed, must say I did chuckle at the final result

                                  bosstrabs plus they both wear blue and their fans love a hot choccy. Clearly they love each other.

                                  That’s a fact before Hugo disputes my obvious connection

                                    -si-

                                    yeah, we’ll linked through their “ patriotic leanings”.

                                    I can understand provincial clubs wanting to tie up with historically successful clubs like Liverpool etc, but I have absolutely no idea why you would want to associate your team with a club like Chelsea.

                                        I call it the Smallman1 affect Mono, everyone wants a piece of the action!

                                        mono-stereo

                                        All down to the NI situation. The links loyalism and the skinhead/NF subset of it too.

                                        Used to go to the Blues matches as a teenager and def remember games when there were groups of chelsea and rangers lads over for a visit. Would have stayed on the shankill and east belfast and been welcomed like long lost friends.
