Looked like there was a good bit of handbags at the end of the Chelsea match!?
Yeah, I think it was between Dan Burn and Havertz mainly. They had a bit of a spat towards the end of the game, which I think was carried over from the game at Stamford Bridge last season. All just handbags, really.
Chelsea seem to in s state of transition, and are probably paying the price for giving the previous manager Ā£200M to spend in the summer. And then sacking him.
Agreed. Theyāve signed a project manager but they werenāt exactly known for that when they were owned by the oligarch!
Maybe the new owner has different ideasā¦ weāll see.
So after Ronaldoās interview what happens if Man U freeze him out does he just sit on his backside for six months being paid 500k a week?
Crazy attitude, I would send him to train with the youth team, problem is that 19 year old that came on yesterday and scored looks the real deal.
Heās a petulant child!
Imagine going to Pierās Morgan of all people to sell your sob story.
He could be in breach of contract and is simply released from it, everyone is happy. Ronaldo gets his wish and United offload a Diva.
They ārespectā each other and itās a good catch for Pierās Morgan; eeeeK 
Heās with us Norwich supporters, huddled around a small, inadequate single bar electric fire in a dingy pub half way between Norfolk & East London, bemoaning how unfair it all is, gently wiping away the tears, hoping for better times.
From the For What Itās Worth Dept:
The first World Cup I watched was 1966, and Iāve watched every tournament since. But I wonāt be watching this travesty from Qatar.
The tournament should never have been awarded to Qatar in the first place. In fact, it wasnāt truly āawarded.ā It was bought and paid for by a country without football heritage, but with enough filthy lucre to get the reliably corrupt masters of FIFA onside.
Consider this:
- Qatar is so hot, the tournament has to be staged in December, halfway through the domestic seasons of most of the worldās footballing nations.
- Hundreds ā maybe thousands ā of migrant workers have died during construction of the stadiums necessary for the tournament (Qatar, almost inevitably, didnāt have any suitable stadiums when it āwonā the bid to be hosts). Many more workers have been injured.
- The workers are little more than expendable wage slaves, largely from the Indian sub-continent and the Philippines. They work a minimum of 14 hours a day, the pay is crap, and the jobs came loaded with debts, such as paying off recruiters, that many will never be able to repay.
- So why didnāt the workers bail? At first, their passports were confiscated so they couldnāt. That has officially stopped; unofficially, many abuses continue.
- Women are treated abominably in Qatar, and are at heightened risk of sexual violence and exploitation. They risk prosecution themselves if they report that theyāve been raped.
- LGBTQ+ people face arrest, harassment, ill-treatment if taken into custody, and years in prison.
I know that my protest makes no difference at all, but thatās not why Iām boycotting the competition. Iām doing so because it makes me sick to my stomach.
Agreed, on all points made.

And/or boycott the sponsors
The only one of those that I use is Visa. Iāll be writing to them - thatās sure to bring their evil empire crashing down. 
No worries, I sold my shares in Visa last year.
Thank goodness Heineken is not a sponsor. Budweiser I can boycott!

Brilliant. And confirms my intention to give this greedfest the body swerve it deserves.
Yep. Iāve been boycotting them for years.
