Shower of sh*t; I’m done watching these lot for the rest of this season. f**k all to play for other than a battering we will get at Wembley. Bollocks to it. Imagine conceding or drawing against a team that doesnt even want to be on the pitch.

Absolute shambles; and that’s not in reference to the absolute shower of sh*t in red.

This performance is like playing FIFA on amateur, 7 minute half’s and still going in 0-0. Embarrassing by Chelsea as much as United.

I actually can’t believe I’m watching a United side like this; Manchester United we’re the absolute mustard of football growing up and right now they look worse than any of the teams I’ve seen us play this season bar Norwich!

I’m genuinely lost for words. How do we just end up wasting so many chances

If ever there was a dead end game this is it. However it highlights everything wrong with our team; United are so open but we just haven’t got the end product like the top two. In fact I’d put money on United winning this even though it will end up a complete and utter domination from Chelsea. It’s genuinely so painful to watch, chance after chance just spurned.

If he’s not good enough for title challengers, he’s not good enough for teams that want to be title challengers.

Yes that’s the nail on the head. We have to give Tuchel the players he needs for his system this summer; if not, we can forget about it. If we do give him his players and we still feel short, he isn’t good enough to take use forward. The cookie crumbles in 2023. Just have to see if it’s on hard flooring or carpet. PS I have no idea what the f**k I mean by that haha.

We really are miles and miles and MILES behind City and Liverpool domestically. Heck we might even be struggling with a resurgent United team (under a fantastic manager) and a Newcastle side inflated by a summer of transfers akin to us in 2004. We really have to be careful but every time I see our rivals, it just gets further apparent how far behind we really are. It’s just the basics of football that seem to be running at higher speed with those lot. Fair play City, a wonderful team.

Jorginho has absolute fallen off the face of Earth this year. His drop in every area has been so astronomical that there is not a chance he will be here next summer. Last year was his peak and he’s showing it. Azpi is the same; he’s given everything for this team but he shouldn’t be anywhere near a starting spot now; for his sake I hope he does get his move to Spain.

We are so frustrating; literally the most inconsistent team! It’s like they all reserve one outstanding performance a month and once that’s used, they put their feet up and rest.

Hard to take this one but at the same time you can switch off and take the positives from it; this team knows where they’re lacking. Behind the scenes stuff needs to be resolved ASAP as we need a plan in place for the summer to build and replace mistakes in previous windows. Tonight showed that our starting XI out there has heart, desire and will fight until the end; sadly, when the legs go and the bench players replace them, we find out who the real players that step up are (minus Jorgi). We have too many who maybe don’t have that quality to step up to a higher level. onwards and upwards. at least we can enjoy the football in Europe now without having a near heart attack for another year. I for one will be rooting for City and Liverpool. I hope this year KDB can pick up a European title he deserves; a warrior at the top of his game who I can now enjoy with a beer and my feet up. goodnight.

Fcuked off in the summer and Broja put in this team please; with a solid pre-season, a technical midfielder being brought in and a ball-playing centre half who can actually defend. Not much to ask for shirley?

Yes and no. They need to also have sustainability and be diverse in their approach. However seeing people jump on the 'anti-Ricketts' bus due to comments from their old man (who won't even be involved in the club) and because it's popular amongst Chelsea Twitter is outright embarrassing. People can't think for themselves.

Just out of curiosity, why wouldn't we get behind the Ricketts/Griffin if they win? Due to their old man being a closet racist and getting caught out on it in the media? We need to sometimes think of the bigger picture; as human beings we are immensely fickle and I can almost guarantee that were they to succeed, none of the bad press would matter one bit. There's clearly much more going on behind the scenes. If the Ricketts can show that the words from Ricketts Snr. remain those of an old man brought up in an era of ignorance towards other cultures, let them have a go at it. People can be educated; the opinions of 1 man doesn't represent the opinions of all. I, for one, can bet my left bollock you've all got someone in your families of similar generation who has made you choke on your proverbial cuppa having come out with something non-PC. For f**k sake people, I'm not justifying it but we need to start accepting that you CAN'T vilify entire organisations over 1 man; the exact same thing has happened with Roman and Chelsea ffs. Get a bloody grip. Let's just hope whoever does takeover gets our support. I have no doubt the Ricketts will do everything they can to support all cultures and diversity, should they be successful.

No matter what happens with Chelsea; no matter what happens… at least we can all go to sleep at night knowing that we’re nowhere near as bad as Manchester United Football Club; holy sh*t they have fallen off the mountain quicker than an apple fell on Newton’s head. Shambles.

Just glanced at the line up on my phone… Sweet Mary, Joseph and the wee little donkey… What the f**k is that back 5 and midifield!?

Pretty much mate; just essentially what I said in different words. Although the context is the same. I don’t want to be misinterpreted with it, it is competition but the reality of where we are now is being a part of that competition for a top 4 spot. However, we’ve been very fortunate that a lot of our rivals for that position have been pretty poor for a while now. Whilst we are inconsistent (considering the value of this current team), the likes of United, Spurs and even Arsenal, have been outright abysmal!

Either way with what happens, we all have to be realistic… Chelsea Football Club will never win a league title while Guardiola and Klopp are still are their two teams; we ought to hope and I really mean HOPE, that Manchester United don’t end up coming back with a top manager. This entire club has been living off poor management from the ground up for a long time; we’ve ridden the luck of winning a Champions League which papered over countless cracks. Our performances have been bang average all season; a true reflection of where we currently are. A top 4 contender that relies on the others to be worse in order to finish ahead of them. New owners and new cash will not mean success. I genuinely believe. Chelsea will only dine at the top table in England again when City/Liverpool change guard. Until that time comes they need to build the right foundations to ensure we can step in to their shoes. Completely f**king forget about it for another 2/3 seasons though; the bigger boys haven’t finished their cycle yet.

I’ve really gone off it the more I’ve started focusing on my own mental health. I realised the effect it was having on my partner, animals and even family members; screaming and completely ruining the mood in a household over a poxy game of football. I learn to switch off now. It was different as kid when my heroes played, win or lose, there’s more to life now!

I sometimes always think to myself; is the elation of football worth the depression that comes with it? I’m going for a run before I actually break things in my front room.

How he is still playing at this level is absolutely astounding. He wouldn't fill the 2nd LB spots at any of our rival clubs around Europe so how he has gone this long for us is beyond biblical. Terrible player, on his day can score a great goal though, I'll give him that. It just highlights how utterly shambolic our transfer policy has been defensively in recent years that he is our back up.

This has to be used as a fcuking wake up call; massive games ahead. f**k the football, more to life than letting this ruin your weekend guys, get out and take your mind off it. Will be back for Madrid. Take it easy!

Just mental how quickly this team gains and loses momentum. I don't know what it is; we can't start pointing fingers at behind the scenes stuff now can we? I just think we have been plagued with weak mentalities in this team for a while in key areas that when we lose our first names on the team sheet, they get exposed big time. Alonso? Horrendous how he is still playing in a team that has just backed off a European cup. Werner? His head is firmly back in Germany now. RLC? Had more chances than gambler at a poker table. If ANYTHING this highlights why we can't go to a back 4 with the current defensive setup. Without Chilly and James at full fitness, you're asking for trouble in this league. Watching Azpi and Alonso try and catch anyone with a remote bit of pace is infuriating.

This is why I absolutely hate international breaks; team comes back and they're all over the shop. Always the fcuking same. Until we get consistency in the league we will always come behind City and Liverpool. We are a cup team these days that lives for the big games.
