Paul Pogba controlling the ball backwards mid interview is probably the best thing you’ll see today. Too good.

Good to see you posting in this thread MCC. I've noticed bot your posts so far have been about Pogba and by extension, United which makes me a happy user given I'm a United fan and there's plenty others around.

I know absolutely nothing about soccer. I thought the video was cool so I posted it here

We can teach you if you like? 3 facts that should get you started -

1) Pogba is one of the best midfielders in the world
2) United are the most successful club in the country
3) Liverpool - offended by everything, embarrassed by nothing

So Neymar being linked back to Barcelona.
This kid was suppose to be the second coming of Messi and Ronaldo. His trade to PSG was suppose to be his way of stepping out of their shadow on the way to becoming the best player in the world.

He couldn't get out of Messi's shadow and he can't get out of Mbappe's shadow. Given this pattern, he'll probably go Madrid and get stuck in Vinicus' shadow.


Excellent win for us today V Spurs. We needed that given everyone had been slagging off our recent opponents but a win is a win and it was nice to see us win via ATTACKING football, not like the **** we used to watch under that ****ing bus parking twat Mourinho. Such a **** manager, he's shot and should never manage a top team ever ever ever again. The **** wrote this season off for us but that said, Woodward and the Glazers are also to an extent culpable for how inconsistent we've been since the GOAT Ferguson retired.

Really? I didn't notice that. I guess he must be pretty popular since I see a lot about him. Thanks for the info

Be weird when Solskjaer gets binned If he keep winning

Champions League or bust.

He has to do a Di Matteo or he's just caretaker. Maybe he could get a sweet spot at Spurs when Poch takes over United.

If Higuain goes to Chelsea and is a failure. 100% will be why Sarri gets sacked.

Basically giving Sarri two core pieces to his Napoli side and he finishes zero trophies and outside of 4th? He's skating on thin ice.

[Sparked_26]

It’s difficult because Sarri does try and hold his hands up and say I’m only the coach. But for me he’s having his cake and eating it there.

Chelsea would never have signed Jorginho without him.

And Higuian if it happens is another old boy signing for a team that doesn’t really go for over 30’s. Giroud being the anomaly. But Chelsea again we’re desperate last season.

I dunno. You have to back someone like Sarri or there’s no point in trying it.

AVB wasn’t given a chance really but Sarri hasn’t got big dogs like Terry, A.Cole, Lamps, and Drogba to deal with. So Sarri could clean house.

I’d give him till next Christmas even if we finished 6th to see what he does in 2 windows.

It has got boring though.

That’s the issue.

Chelsea are extremely boring.

I don't know what to make of the MU victory. Glad that we might beat Spurs to 3rd or worry that MU might beat us to 4th. Feels more towards the latter.

In other news Courtois got bench

True. Another thing is that with Higuain there's no excuse for failure.

Without him. Sarri can deflect criticism because obviously Chelsea lack quality in multiple areas. With Higuain though, Chelsea will have gone out of their way to hand him 2 core pieces to his Napoli team. Not a side player like a right back or something but a piece of the spine to that team.

It would be like handing AVB that Hulk guy and Joao Moutinho and still failing. Or Jose given Di Maria and Ozil and still having that "little horse" first season. There's no excuse for failure at that point.

He'll be given the second season by default but it would probably lead to the questioning of Sarri individually rather than the players. Specially when he has never won anything his entire career.

He might not even get backed in the 2nd season if Higuain failed. Chelsea executives are petty as f.uck like that.

I think Chelsea will get a transfer ban this summer according to reports.

That’s the other issue with that transfer. They’ll end up extending contracts to Willian and Luiz and Azpi. Not sure if they’ve given one to Pedro.

Really I can’t see CHO going. Chelsea will sit on him for 18 months.

What would they even do with £30 million? They’d be better actually just giving that to Oxfam as a donation as a pr move and actually do some good

Adding Higuain might improve things (goals wise) but it isn't gonna get the rest of the squad up to speed with Sarri's philosophy any quicker. The line remains the same, he needs to be given at least this season as a bedding in process. Then judge the performances next year. That's not an excuse, that's just how it is.

You could've thrown Messi into the City team during Pep's first season and things would've improved but fundamentally the team still wouldn't have been ready to dominate. It's a question of patience.

Not with this Chelsea team/squad imo.. they just aren't very good at all.. Could you see any Chelsea player (outside of Hazard) getting into Liverpool/City teams atm? or even United? I am sure there is one or two possible.. but i struggle to see someone who can come in and straight up be an upgrade..

Sarri needs time but also heavy investment.. Pep had investment in his second season but he also inherited a fantastic team/squad

Not saying your wrong.. but i think no matter how long Sarri is given.. unless the personal also changes.. he will struggle and most likely get sacked (given Chelsea history)
