Litterally the only thing worth waking up for about our group is the possibility of an away trip to San Sebastián so as I’m not likely to get an away ticket and do that I think I’ll just sleep through it and hope we’re in the knock outs after Christmas.

Prediction: he doesn't last the season, unfortunately.

Yeah it feels like a bad fit. He’s a process driven coach and Chelsea generally aren’t the type of club that will give the time and space for processes to be introduced and embedded.

He had to take it though. It’s a chance at a big 6 club, the first one for an English manager in ages that was based on their managerial, rather than playing, career. Never know whether another one would come around.

Maybe I’ll see you there for a pint? I managed to get tickets easy enough for Stockholm when we played Ajax in 2017…

Lol if I had the money to actually do it right now I would say absolutely....Still may be a thing I consider as things playout...I mean I don't think it's coincidence that our first match is in Zurich...usually last stop before flying into Budapest....hehehe

Penalty? Really? And VAR allowed it? Hit his body first and hit above the t shirt line. Fucking arseholes.

Not sure what is going on with VAR today. Arsenal got screwed earlier. Attacking player jumped in front of/on Nketiah's leg as he was clearing the ball out of the box and did a nice mid air twirl to sell it as if Eddie was looking to kick the guys ass off his body

To be fair this is the deadest most boring game I’ve seen in ages. Slow laboured and far too much trying to constantly hit Ronaldo too early. Still it should be a 0-0 bore draw because that’s an outrageous decision.

Also I miss the old days, no one chants “the referee’s a wanker anymore”
