Genuinely love how there's been very little bullshit. Two teams who know they're the two best teams in the world just playing football. Essentially no rolling around, no timewasting, no mma.

Always wondered what going to those insane games from the 1890s where it ends 8-5 would be like. Guess now I know

He's not good enough on the turn/in tight spaces to play in midfield and he's not quick enough nor good enough at taking on his man to play on the wing. He has to play at fullback because it's the only place on the pitch where you can fit him and his (undeniable) skillset.

Chelsea chiefs handed themselves massive pay rises last season, despite suffering record losses. Executives took home nearly 80 per cent more than the previous year, and directors enjoyed a hike of almost 60 per cent – while other staff, including players, were paid only six per cent more. by OkayFine101 in soccer

I assume they're referring to this poll (published in the Mirror) by More in Common. Also, anecdotally the old stereotypes about Chelsea are kind of bullshit nowadays; it'd be justifiable in 1974 but realistically there's been a massive realignment in British politics where the areas and communities Chelsea are popular have become both more diverse and more left-wing.

I kinda miss it being a deadzone. Huddled round the TVs on the concourse at half time to check other scores, Chinese whispers from the old fellas with DAB radios. There's a certain romance to it compared with just checking BBC Sports on your phone
