@Matt_Law_DT Insane how Putin has lead to Chelsea’s banter era

Abject from Chelsea. Difficult questions to answer for everybody at the club.

@R_o_M When you deep it, Putin brought us the Chelsea banter era..

Chelsea surely can’t go to the end of the season with this guy? They’re not even in Europa. Look at the money they’ve spent. Scandalous.

@Molly_AFC No fans that you personally know to banter you

Rival fans, what do you stand to gain if City wins the league?

@Molly_AFC Goals scored

So what happens if Arsenal and Manchester City finish on the same point and goal difference?

@mfc_mrpage Combo

What truly defines a big football club, trophies won or the size of its fanbase?

@terryflewers @Louis_Beneventi Nobody should bail them out and let them get relegated

This is a massive claim from @Louis_Beneventi but if the finances worsen and they sell top players, it’s conceivable

[Long Post] Eighteen months ago, in December 2024, when Rashford, in a carefully constructed interview with Henry Winter, said, "For me, personally, I think I'm ready for a new challenge and the next steps," few expected him to still be contracted to Man Utd in big 2026. He and his brother expected the biggest of clubs to come calling, throw in millions in wages, and make him the face of a new club. He waited the entirety of January 2025 to find a club. No one came forward. Finally, Unai Emery held out a hand for him near the transfer deadline. What followed next was a cacophony of PR exercise. Any half-decent performance was hailed as the greatest thing ever. The bad ones were carefully omitted. All throughout the next five months, we heard just one thing: Villa was just a temporary stopgap. There is no chance the loan would be made permanent. He wanted Barcelona. It was his dream. Summer 2025. The entire summer we heard, 'Rashford only wants Barcelona,' 'He hopes to play for his dream club Barcelona,' 'He will reject offers that aren't from Barcelona.' All these particularly weakened Man Utd's negotiating position, and finally, when Barcelona entered the frame, they offered a loan and no permanent deal. They weren't even prepared to pay his full wages and expected United to cover the costs. After much haggling, United managed to eke out a deal that will have Barca paying his wages with a €30m option at the end of the deal. Pretty cheap for a supposed world-class player at the peak of his powers (or so his media friends depict him), right? He had a good start at Barcelona, played some important games, scored some important goals. But soon after the usual problems arose. Not committed enough, not tracking back, running into blind alleys, not looking up for better options, etc. Barca fans started to grow tired of him. Now it's looking increasingly likely that Barcelona will not be triggering his €30m release clause and are looking elsewhere. He is also approaching 30. and earns far too much to not be a starter. So my question to Rashford is: Was it worth it? Was the entire song and dance worth it? Was that interview with Henry Winter where you facilitated your own exit worth it? When you should have been leading our next generation, you started playing media games. When you should have developed your own game, worked on your shortcomings, built on your superb 2022-23 season, and become a leader of the squad, you instead became a reclusive figure, developing this attitude that you did not want it enough at Utd. All those shenanigans, including Belfast, really let the club down when they were relying on you as one of the more experienced and highest-paid players in the world to deliver like Bruno has been delivering in some of our toughest times. You were one of our own. You should have stayed and broken records with Utd. Instead, you let everyone down, including your own talent. All I ask is, was it worth it?

PL titles won since Ferguson left United -0 SPFL titles won since Ferguson left Aberdeen - 0 Bayern win the league every year Barcelona have a duopoly with Madrid City are financially doped to the gills This is the most ridiculous comparison in football history

@k_wave23 @Mpu2mi @Dat_boy_nino As I keep repeating, Pep is great, arguably the GOAT. Also ok to acknowledge that to show that greatness he’s always had access to some of the best players in world football / permission to replace until he finds right guy.

@AnalisaUTD @Mpu2mi @Dat_boy_nino He was responsible for that superior team you taking about, He repeated and created another one with City to show it wasn't a fluke, by the look of things next season he'll have another superior team this can't be by luck.

My biggest joy is we watched these two go head to head not one's but twice in a freaking ucl finals, because if we didn't the English media would have done everything within their power to tell us pep wouldn't have stood a chance against Fergie and most People would have believed it... Thank God 2009 & 2011 finals happened.

The way Fabrizio was hyping up Garnacho to Chelsea needs to be studied...

@k_wave23 @Mpu2mi @Dat_boy_nino As I said, Pep is one of the GOATs. Maybe is/was better then SAF. My only comment was the 2 CL finals are not barometer to judge them given his superior team. I’m not denying Pep any credit for his overall achievements.

@AnalisaUTD @Mpu2mi @Dat_boy_nino You won't die by giving credit to the man.

@MeliMawonga @Dat_boy_nino Over 2 legs, with an offside goal in Milan, and some luck. Else he also got schooled most times by this Barca side.

@AnalisaUTD @Dat_boy_nino How did Mourinho win the Semi Final against Pep then in 2010 ?

@Mpu2mi @Dat_boy_nino Lol, they were all hitting their prime in 07-08 onwards. I’m not disputing Pep is one of the GOATs, just saying those 2 finals with those world class players (half of which went on to win titles for Spain as well) is not barometer to judge SAF

@AnalisaUTD @Dat_boy_nino Why did Frank fail with those exact players? • Messi was injury prone prior to Pep • Iniesta/Xavi were not the force they became when Pep arrived • Busquets was in reserve team

@BenColeyGolf Gabriel normally does (watch spurs game), Haaland was just too quick for him to realize it was too late to role around as he normally does

In retrospect if Gabriel falls to the ground here the goal probably doesn’t stand. Same with Haaland and the headbutt. It’s for the better of the game and to the credit of both players that they just got on with it. Proper battle that Haaland edged in the end.

@LexiV77349 @TheFootyFeed I’m not an Arsenal fan lol.

@AnalisaUTD @TheFootyFeed because youre one of the insufferable Arsenal fans. youre not gonna win anything unless you accept CITY remains top of the league

Why do you think this is the case 🤔

Oh this is so satisfying to watch after he threw himself on the floor like a dandelion after the Kolo Muani “push”

The first foul I’ve seen on a goalkeeper from a corner all season is in favour of Arsenal. Couldn’t write it.

🤣
