“But but but he was Roman/Turkish/Syrian “ etc etc . One of the most amusing things on SGD is these awkward leftist student types posting the above like it’s a new discovery .The adoption of St George was based on his supposed Christianity and martyrdom. It’s tragic we don’t celebrate the day with a...

Burnley was cracking night in the late 80’s to lateish 90’s , incredibly busy . We’d start at sidewalk , Yates’s , White Lion , Swan , Big Window , Smacks etc . Then you had clubs from Cats/Ritzy, Savannahs , Zanzibar , later “mean cat daddy’s” , seem to remember one above an Italian restaurant? and...

Upstairs in the Queens in Rawtenstall ...Proper Bacup v Rawtenstall nights. A “ club “ I never thought I’d hear of again . They used to have strippers on Sunday upstairs as well , I well remember as an 17/18 yr old being a bit shocked at the “ whip round shows “ when on occasion a few older guys ha...

notts forest to “ consider their options” 😂 Didn’t they used to be a “ proper club “? You’d think they were Brighton or Arsenal the way they b1tch and bleat , and rant on about conspiracy theories .

Was just thinking the same thing. Doesn’t look right. Maybe he’s trying to get into the scouse shell suit culture. Just got word of this from my son , quite remarkable if true . While he could indeed be getting into Scouse “ culture “ I’m wondering if he may have done it as a bet/charity thing ? No...

While driving to the gym this morning I commented to the Mrs on the poor parking of a car we passed (on its own driveway) it was quite skewed .

Not the best of pairings with fofana, and when on the wing is woefully out of position . Though next season ( if he stays ) he should be far too good for the champ. Hopefully gets us promoted and a big chunky fee when sold .

AlargeClaret

As presumably we’ll have the highest wage bill next year you’d expect us to ride pretty high . While the squad itself is gonna look very different, they’ll be enough retained players , the odd loan made perm , few new signings and hopefully the odd diamond or 2 loan players to see us right . Champ m...

Muric 8 - good display , good saves distributed ok Assignon 8- nice goal and assist but horribly naive on goal O 'Shea 7- settled down well Esteve 7- as per o Shea Taylor 6 mistake which ultimately led to goal, but good on flanks and a great defensive header . Also had to play v high up pitch . Viti...

For some bizarre reason the mention of garden sheds brings up words in my mind like Razzle” “ Playboy” “ Penthouse “ “ readers wives” etc
I’ve no idea why as I’ve never had or lived in a house with a garden shed .

This is Chelsea’s SS area ( or part of it ) while it’s definitely way better to have this in all grounds in a dedicated section than not , if anything it encourages people to sit down and lean on the bar I think .

Gotta say the safe standing at Spurs was excellent . While that’s state of the art stadia it certainly “ works “ the only negative is that it’s actually so safe you’re a bit spread out capacity wise .

I liked Vydra and he was remarkably popular for a player who rarely played and only ever had about 3 good games . Good to see him playing though and his bank balance will show what a tidy career he’s had .

AlargeClaret

Seems odd they don’t just convert the whole stand ? It’s always standing in there anyway ? As for an “ emotional “ meeting about a few rows of safe standing ?? I know the FAB are hardly alpha male chest thumping boneheads but ffs !

It's about being fit enough for the system and now we are trying to play 90 minutes of man to man pressing all over the pitch, I think they are struggling to maintain that for a full game. I've seen us really struggle fitness wise for the last half an hour at least against Wolves, West Ham and now ...

Was there really any booing at all when the players took the knee ? All I heard JHL was brief almost apologetic clapping . I’d no idea this was still a thing . I don’t agree but would never boo the gesture .

Collins and Rolls Royce do not belong in the same sentence.

Pretty good on the ball , but he does maybe have too many mistakes in him.

AlargeClaret

He’ll be a v good champ defender , if we keep Beyer, Taylor, & Muric ( unlikely but still ) we’d have a cracking back line . He’s a very decent CB , but no hint of Rolls Royce like a Keane or Collins , but does the basics very well, taste for goals and can pick a pass . It’s his short game which is ...

The most amusing thing in the thread is the apparent rage of some ,that the trend in double barrel names is a “ working class “ thing .

If it's bullshit, why do 90% of Chelsea fans think it was a wrong call. I try not to get embroiled in differing opinions on here, but you have to be on a wind up if you think that was a foul. I didn’t realise you had access to “ 90% of Chelsea fans “ ? Though I stand corrected. It was a fairly soft...

Absolute b0ll0x. The first touch from Mudryks knee goes to Assignons’ right. Mudryks is to his left and legally Assignon holds his ground. Players do that all the time with impunity. If you really can’t see why , both in real time and VAR why it was given by the ref and VAR , it’s more about claret...

AlargeClaret

You suggest Assignon should have just vanished when the attacker cut across his path; the only option given the momentum he was travelling at. For me the hand looping over his shoulder was the only questionable part of the whole thing… it is clear there was no pull by the movement of the players… o...

AlargeClaret

Me thinks referees want to get it wrong. He clearly played it too heavy, onto the wrong side of Assignon, he had to cut across him to try and retrieve it, what's Assignon supposed to do, get out of his way. All he did was stay strong and shield the ball. Even on Chelsea forum they said it was never...

Muric was superb and his mate mega throws to Jay were great to see , not sure if he’d injured himself . Great sweeping too

The old guard really stood up to be counted today with Jay/Brownhill/ Taylor/JBG on the pitch . True ,other players showed real fight in defence ,and oddly the starting XI had they stayed intact maybe well have been beaten . Main thing is the lift for the players and some belief . Could be a crackin...

AlargeClaret

Jay’s header was superb beat the keeper underside of bar , though even prime Jay would have been lucky to get that rebound

AlargeClaret

Taylor was superb , working with Brownhill and Steve in the 2nd half really nullified their right side .

AlargeClaret

To say dropping Taylor for Vitinho is a bizarre tactical decision would be a huge understatement, Taylor is miles away a better defender than Vit and has been one of our best players , and against a side like Chelsea .Maybe CT has a knock ? Which would explain it easily enough though

Moany, Dyche , Defour and I presume Steve Stone ?

The main thing is getting back what we paid for him , I think around 12-15m? Doubt he’ll get prem interest , but a decent euros could ramp up his value nicely. Bit of a show pony and not comfortable in our side but can imagine him getting a decent ish Bundesliga gig

I really don't see where some people see potential, I can't.

Top drawer is pushing it even for a fan of his. I thought he was a good leader for us and a decent player but dreadful on his return in the Prem. Nowhere near the quality of Cork or defour.
