I was just quoted £650 to service my watch .... it's all gone a bit awry there I think .

The Downfall of Diddy A cautionary tale of what happens when ego, bad advice and entitlement override responsibility and truth.

Harsh

Easy! Next!

But he's a SERIAL WINNER Liam 🤣

What was Jackson thinking ? What an idiot . A shocking , truly shocking display by Chelsea is such an important game. And don't get me started on the embarrassingly biased commentary from Fletcher and McCoist. Tempted to bin this second half off tbf

This whole thread could easily apply to music .... listen to what you want , don't let others tell you what is and what isn't "good" or "bad" - If you love it, fill your boots .

Easy! Next!

I can pretty much assure you, we won't be having an open top bus parade... and I'm not the 'celebration police' , as I say they can fill their boots . I just find as much pleasure in disliking other fans and team as I do supporting my own, much like the majority of football fans I venture.

Sure , they can fill their boots celebrating Mickey Mouse cup but .....if you can't dislike other teams, what's the point in it all?

Never liked 'em and never liked that stupid cup

Open top bus parade for the Carabao Cup 🤣🤣🤣🤣

I think we're gonna have to disagree on this one. I'm not a Maresca apologist and I'm not devoted to him but I do think it's far too easy to attach all the blame to him.

To be fair, that's a function of modern football. Every manager wants to play out from the back and draw the opposition team onto them these days.I'm not a big fan but he's not doing anything radical. Modern prem players should be able to do that but ours just aren't good enough

Amen to that Marco ... hope you're well too x

Yep yep and yep to that

I genuinely think it's too easy to just blame the manager - convenient but way too easy ..

We would have attacked more for sure but we still would t have finished the chances and imagine doing that with our defence ? Come on Gilly - We would have lost every game 5-0 🤣

Do they though ? I'm not making excuses but the players we have aren't good enough and have been shocking in their approach. We've created too many chances that haven't been finished and given away far too many unforced errors . I fail to see how that's just the manager's fault.

I don't think this is just down to management . As I've said before. Too many of these players simply aren't good enough ....

Less goals than I imagined - I thought we'd get battered - but apart from that, this game played out pretty much as I thought it would with us never seriously looking like scoring... In summary a dull , dispiriting game

The contemptuous look that Fofana gave Rice after that challenge made this game worth watching tbf...

2021 classic.

Much better 2nd half - all about the result tonight .

Me too

Acheampong has been the standout performer but otherwise Chelsea look impotent going forward - I guess that's what happens when you play without a striker and with no intensity whatsoever .

On the Jack Daniels tariff threat - it the words of Otis Lee Crenshaw in his classic opus "Give Me Back My Whiskey, " bourbon is something you "drink with Coca Cola so you don't have to taste it....."

I was at my place in Norfolk for this and "shatter the dawn" was about right - it was unbelievably loud .

Cue Tesla share price tanking even further 🤣
