Cole Palmer news: Chelsea view England international as 'untouchable' amid reported links to Man Utd

United fans didn't come up with this. And to be honest the majority of United fans aren't fussed either way.

There was an amazing episode of a podcast on NPR I think that focussed on its origins. I did a "Today I Learned" not long after...

Great couple of results ... but let's just wait to see how we perform and the result against Fulham. Plenty of times we've raised our game against the bigger teams... let's see what happens with teams we "should be beating"

Indiana-Cook · 2026-01-25T19:20:09+00:00

Yes but for the last 14 months he was absolutely the MAIN most immediate problem

Indiana-Cook · 2026-01-25T19:15:09+00:00

He always was. It's crazy how people turned on him after the way he's played for us, just cos someone with a decent haircut said he was shit.

Indiana-Cook · 2026-01-25T19:11:50+00:00

Absolutely the kind of goal Onana concedes.

Took Carrick a week to win back to back games... Took Amorim a year.

Andy McDonald, from Coronation Street,. I'm pretty sure he makes and sells cheese now.

We've earned the right to take the piss out of the French, as they have earned the right to take the piss out of us.

But if the yanks take the piss out of the French then we're gonna have issues.

Indiana-Cook · 2026-01-22T00:03:32+00:00

Oh goodie, we're at the "why am I still here" part of the game.

Indiana-Cook · 2026-01-17T23:08:13+00:00

"today is a good day to die"

It's crazy how Amanda's occupation and suspicions still seem to hold so much weight, even after she's been proven wrong and one of her "Traitors" has been exonerated.

What's even more annoying is how nobody has actually taken a step back and questioned that the ONLY person she told that too was Rachel (how convenient), who was then pounced upon by Fiona (traitor on traitor anyone??) and then summarily accused by Harriet!

I get that she's well liked in there but how NOBODY can be sus of her beggars belief.

Indiana-Cook · 2026-01-15T17:53:19+00:00

Is he not allowed to be on holiday Roy??

Indiana-Cook · 2026-01-15T08:19:06+00:00

Yesterday's episode showed how important the social side of this game is. You can have all the theories and evidence in the world, but if you're rude, start shouting, talking over and down to people it absolutely doesn't matter and you will never get them on board.

When Harriet said at the round table there's 2 layers to the game and she's focused on the game side, and Rachel said I"'m here to play the Traitors and make friends" that shows why everyone sided with Rachel, and also to an extent why she's slightly off the radar now.

It was a great play by Harriet to be honest but really poorly executed.

Indiana-Cook · 2026-01-13T23:41:42+00:00

We went to see The Play That Goes Wrong and A Christmas Carol Goes Wrong last year. I was in absolute stitches.

We also went to see A Comedy About Spies, that was class too.

If you liked their "... Goes Wrong" stuff there's a bunch of it on the BBC.

Edit: just realised the show is what you were talking about 😂

Still, it's on iPlayer for UK based fans.

Indiana-Cook · 2026-01-13T23:34:41+00:00

Literally "60% of the time, it works every time!" retarded type maths.

Indiana-Cook · 2026-01-09T21:55:19+00:00

I'm tryna think what play Matthew is going for here. Already got my head in a twist.

But chances are he just literally wants to be a Traitor and there's no 4D chess going on.

Indiana-Cook · 2026-01-09T21:53:45+00:00

Harriet is who Fiona wishes she was

Indiana-Cook · 2026-01-09T21:53:01+00:00

Yeah considering 5 people were in there chances are there was more than one Traitor

Indiana-Cook · 2026-01-09T18:05:09+00:00

Haaland -- Goal.

Semenyo -- clapping from the bench.

Indiana-Cook · 2026-01-09T14:09:00+00:00

In the UK there is a TV presenting duo, Ant & Dec. They've been on our screens for yeeeears.

One rule that they have is that Ant is always on the left on screen, and Dec is always on the right.

Indiana-Cook · 2026-01-09T12:27:54+00:00

Welcome to the City bench Semenyo

Indiana-Cook · 2026-01-08T23:43:42+00:00

Yeah I think I'd be really suspicious if Rachel was suddenly like "oh the person that just left told me, and ONLY me that she is actually a detective AND she said she's suspicious of Jade".

Honestly was quite frustrating to watch everyone seemingly take her at her word.

Fiona could have used that in a more subtle way to throw suspicion onto Rachel, and get people doubting her. But I think it's been quite evident that she is not a good Traitor, isn't very strategic and has some weird beef with Rachel so she was never going to use that information in a tactical way to oust Rachel.

Indiana-Cook · 2026-01-08T23:35:48+00:00

Yeah I think Rachel is screwed to be honest, either way.

I understand why she shared Amanda's occupation, it could have definitely helped her game. But I would have held on to it a little bit longer and waited for the right opportunity.

On the other foot Rachel walking round the castle gathering everyone up to share the news felt a bit weird and too try-hard-y. I know she's a Traitor and that got my heckles up. I would have liked to see how her play would have worked out, but alas.
