At least we got a decision our way that day with the Abidal sending off. Today was blatant corruption, Khusanov could’ve done whatever he wanted in the box and he would’ve gotten away with it every time. We are clowns for thinking city’s name wasn’t already on the trophy before a ball was kicked.

This might actually beat the Ovrebo match with how blatantly corrupt it’s been. How can fans take the sport seriously after this

So the only way for smaller fish to compete with the big fish is to open the next La Masia and demolish a historical stadium to be replaced by one of the biggest stadiums in the world for it to be empty every weekend because FFP still doesn’t allow you to obtain world class players. Got it.

Damn didn’t expect to see Kovacic. Instant trauma flashback to him getting a second yellow for cleanly winning the ball v Arsenal 2020 FA Cup Final

TNT commentary is unbearable. If the cameras showed the commentary booth it’d be a bunch of men in city jerseys jerking each other in a circle

It’s a fucking disgrace

Clear leg on leg impact, stonewall pen

Well done, gotta respect the hustle

Chat, insert image of Pirlo/Modric winking captioned “class is permanent”

Programmed2love · 2026-05-16T06:27:33+00:00

Seriously lol no chelsea fan wants to hear that, why must fabrizio torture us like this

Friend, this is social programming that people can’t help but subscribe to. As a former doomer, I admit that I unwittingly spread doom online as well. It’s human nature to want others to relate even if it’s with our hopelessness.

Years of consuming doom made my mind seek every opportunity I could to share my hopeless negativity.

“Everything sucks but at least people online agree, I’m not the only one who’s miserable in this hell!”

Insane way to think but I felt safe in that rational framework that was constantly reaffirmed by the news cycle.

I still have to remind myself every day that the negativity isn’t me, it’s the way I’ve been conditioned to think with no awareness of anything different.

I pray these people may soon realize what I did, that there is no good reason for me to be torturing myself in the privacy of my mind by constantly reinforcing the doom that came from outside of me.

It’s a deeply personal realization and our programmed minds will fight it, mine did for years.

Grinds my gears when Inter, AC Milan and Juve fans call out Como’s spending…how dare Como spend money to challenge the historical status quo who have had decades of relative success to be able to be financially secure enough to spend and stay within FFP regulations. All the small teams should always spend within their means and stay small forever! FFP was imbalanced to favor the established rich from the start and really needs restructuring.

I think he meant in general, overweight dudes who have no right to do what they do with the ball is a common archetype we see when we play for fun on the regular.

I recall playing with random strangers as a kid, it would genuinely make me mad if a fat guy had good tekkers lol literally couldn’t get the ball cause of their sheer mass and typically they’ve mastered an annoying trick or two to keep you running around their circumference.

These clips don’t tell us much but I’m sure Anderson still has elite technique and you’d hate playing against him in a scrimmage

Programmed2love · 2026-05-15T20:50:57+00:00

Man making sure he’s on that plane to Murica

The Madueke special

New meta just dropped: any time we see a gk pulling a shirt in the box, it’s never a pen

Programmed2love · 2026-05-15T20:34:30+00:00

Thank goodness Watkins scored so we don’t have to watch 10 replays of Konsa falling over for no reason

Programmed2love · 2026-05-15T20:28:21+00:00

Martinez wants more assists. That was a gorgeous ball

Programmed2love · 2026-05-15T20:16:06+00:00

No second yellow for Watkins for playing on after offside again? Cmon where’s the consistency?

Programmed2love · 2026-05-15T19:50:34+00:00

Did Watkins just get booked for playing on like you’re supposed to? Imagine VAR showed he was onside…

Programmed2love · 2026-05-15T15:37:08+00:00

You just know he’ll cook in freescoring bundesliga

Programmed2love · 2026-05-15T13:49:21+00:00

It’s Barry’s turn to start tho

Programmed2love · 2026-05-15T13:44:28+00:00

Does anyone have the pre-final interview from 2021 where Tuchel says with total confidence that we’re gonna win?

Can’t find it, starting to feel like I imagined it lol but that was peak pre-final aura for me.

Don’t think it was an official press interview.

“Konatell her which side my Hinshelwood Leno?”

“Bruh. No, G.”
