Alright, and I'll happily use my freedom of speech to say you were chatting absolute w**k.

Words can't describe how much I hate that f**king club, they're the dirtiest in the game and people don't realise it. Yeah I can't stand Liverpool, I'll always hate them, but I have a very strong dislike of City lately since FFP was installed, they're dirty and too many are quiet about it. They've also got one of the dirtiest managers in the world and his "Spanish Doctor" who magically heals his players in a week. Guardiola as a player was done for using steroids, he's dirty and it genuinely wouldn't surprise me at all if the City players were on something, the background of that club alone with the Etihad deal and the Sheikhs self-sponsoring pumping hundreds of millions in a season, you can really justify any conjectural conspiracy you throw at them. I hope this gets out more, I've been calling City out for this since 2013.

Tbf that's his natural hair, he's 1/4 Nigerian, so I don't think he perms it he's just naturally curly.

Hahahaha sorry that was my bad I didn't even notice that!

That was the only time he was in the right place at the right time though, his play is usually very static, I don't agree with all the criticism he gets in this thread I think it goes overboard but I also don't think he does enough. There are times when he is incredible and unplayable, I think there were certain moments when he was cutting in and trying to change the game, took 2 good shots which I applauded because we needed to get that goal. But if you watch Pedro for example he was taking more risks and cutting in to try and grab another goal who imo was MOTM.

But then you went on to say "I said was, Torres was actually a good player js" when that's completely irrelevant, nobody cares about what Torres did at Liverpool, at Chelsea his career was abysmal with only Chris Sutton topping his mediocrity with expectations. So the Torres comparisons just need to stop end of, that goal right there had nothing to do with Morata, Torres was very rarely one v one in his Chelsea career because the bloke would barely even move or get into the right position. So no he didn't have his "Torres moment" cancelled, how is scoring a one v one in a game where we were already winning 3-1 comparable to a Semi-Final against Barcelona where another goal would save us all the anxiety attacks we were having that game and definitely put us through to the final? Just a stupid comparison, as I said, quit with the Torres stuff.

Surprisingly the best comment about Willian on his Sundays performance came from you. I don't think he was bad at all, he kept the game flowing better than the likes of Kante, Barkley and Morata he just showed no end product, didn't take any risks.

I don't know but I can bet they have at least two ex liverpool pundits analysying the game and going into depth how Liverpool weren't good enough then slightly recognising and crediting Red Star at the end then going back into the depth of Liverpool.

Embarrassing comment if you're referring to Torres's Chelsea days. But if you aren't then why even bring it up? Completely irrelevant to what Torres did at Liverpool, I only care about his career here and it was a very bad career he had. I agree that the one v one moment was a terrible moment for him despite having two goals, it shows that he still lacks confidence or isn't good enough (hopefully it's not the latter). Usually, he tries his hardest to place the ball and it's so one dimensional, the keepers can see it coming a mile off, this time he tried something different but did it for the sake of it, because the keeper hardly even rushed out of his box. Why he can't just take the keeper on (which is how most goals are scored in a one v one situation) I'll never know, he needs to start doing that.

Hmm I'm not sure, which one was it? I liked the trailer I think the story depth of Arthur Morgan is a classic tale, especially the whole Van Der Linde gang and how Dutch and Hosea raised him to be an outlaw. Was it this trailer? This was just the launch trailer, nothing really in depth, there have been a total of 4 trailers, the first 3 had a lot more depth in them.

It's like having the World Cup tournament 3 times a year, it would lose its prestige and not be considered such a great magnificent legacy of a tournament that it currently is. How would us playing against the top European teams every week not lose its prestige? This is really ugly and I can't see this happening without a huge revolt from fans from all sides. I'm not sure how American sports work but isn't this similar to the NFL with the Super Bowl? Correct me if I'm wrong here but I think it is.

I agree with most of what Ruud said, there are often times we want to walk the ball into the goal and that doesn't play to Morata's benefit especially when he wants it out wide. However, there are no excuses to not score one on ones and miss them regularly like Morata does. It's true he's lacking confidence, but sometimes the going gets tough and you need a striker to keep his head and keep faith, a striker of all players must do this, and that's a part of the game Morata seems to lack. Other than that you can see some real quality in him sometimes such as his off the ball movement, it's superb, you think of the chances he's missed but I don't remember Costa getting this many chances under Chelsea, Morata seems to make his own luck and get through often. When Morata has confidence he turns into a different player, we saw this early last season against Stoke for example, he kept turning their defenders inside out, he kept running at them whenever he had the ball from deep. Now he often sh*ts himself as soon as he gets the ball, it's very strange to see, can he be matured as a player? Is there still something there? This game has asked some questions. However, I still think the conclusion is that, he's not good enough to be our main man, I highly rated him when we first signed him but I've seen some disappointing things, too many disappointing things and that's his mentality and finishing. I really want him to restore my faith in him again I do, but we need to see more of this from him and we need to see the team cross the ball more into the box, I think we should give Zappacosta and Moses more of a go on the right.

Although I don't think any character can top this entrance, let's be hair here

Cor blimey, what blasphemy is this? Someone lock YorkleyBlue out of this thread immediately!

All westerns were corny though, the biggest Western movies are the Clint Eastwoods good bad and the ugly, fistful of dollars and a few dollars more and in those movies they were pretty corny despite some of the great writing. I think it's just how the setting is, it's inspired by all those Westerns.

Are you not even a fan of Westerns? I still have the great 3 Clint Eastwood movies somewhere and Unforgiven, always had a soft spot for Westerns and this game takes it at the perfect time, when the Government were ending the outlaw days.

You're such a Chad in the gaming community aren't you, you make me sick you do

He won us a corner by tackling their defender then staying on his feet which lead to the first goal that he ended up scoring, WHY CANT HE JUST KEEP DOING THIS

It's not a conspiracy it's just common sense, everyone is biased, Jamie likes Liverpool and Spurs, he won't want Chelsea to win, he'll do his best to be impartial because it's his job but he's bound to be bias and say nonsense like that. Even Neville who I highly rate is guilty of going on and on about United too much, because he's bound to, he's a hardcore United fan and ex United player. I expect no less for two ex Spurs players to be unhappy how Chelsea won the game, they're bound to overstate what Palace did in the game and that's why their coverage has zero value, it would be nice if we had one of our ex players on there standing up for us. You don't need to wear a tinfoil hat in order to point this out, it's obvious.

He's been superb since the Liverpool game until today tbf, had really good performances. He just needs to be more tidy with the ball, he lost it in our own half a few times and that just shouldn't happen.

Yeah Palace were really hard done by

People who are saying that (I haven't seen that said) completely misunderstand the system and have no idea about Jorginho's role. Kante has been quite sloppy and slow in his new role, for his standards should I add, I'm not saying he offers nothing there but there at times when I'm not fussed that he's been given the ball, usually in an attacking position. Am I being too harsh? Probably but I think I'm entitled to that opinion, and you're entitled to call me negative for it if you wish.

This is exactly the point I was making before halftime, Sky and BT never have any fair Chelsea representation, City also suffer the same. Who did we have covering our game today? Two ex Spurs players and a Palace player, why are there never any Chelsea pundits? I'm not one to say there is a conspiracy against Chelsea, I don't even think the linesman did a terrible job it was a hard decision, but the bias from football coverage is ridiculous lately. Sadly we've lost Frank on the panel, but I don't see why they managed to get a Palace player to cover but not a an Ex Chelsea player when we have lots and lots of iconic superstars to choose from that would raise the viewership. I mean who the f**k is Joel Ward exactly?

Looking back on it Zaha didn't actually do anything, he gave the ball away a lot, he looked fancy keeping hold of it but in the end it was usually the same outcome, he lost it.

Willian was just Willian but I don't think he was bad at all actually, I thought the sub was the right call to make but not because he was bad.
