Good start for Arsenal.

 

[Robbo]

Bale's goal:

Not bad.

 

[Robbo]

Everton totally robbed there. What on earth.

#mufc XI: Lindegaard, Rafael, Evans, Vidic, Evra, Jones, Anderson, Cleverley, Valencia, Giggs, RvP

Well that's interesting :/

#CFC XI: Cech; Azpilicueta, Ivanovic, David Luiz, Cole; Ramires, Lampard; Oscar, Mata, Moses; Ba.

Oh dear.

ffs ferguson rolling over

U mad.

I believe the medal system has changed and it no longer has an appearance requirement, the club get a standard amount of medals (40, I believe) and can then give them out how they like.

Fergies just handing Chelsea the game, to be honest.

Bale will be harder to sign if he's in the Champions League...

 

[Robbo]

Terrible match. Everton were robbed, though.

 

[Robbo]

Good save that from Lindegaard.

Oh dear Valencia... what.

 

[Robbo]

Lol Jones.

Good thing Moses fluffed it.

 

[Robbo]

Cleverley is just...

 

[Robbo]

Nice effort from RvP there, bit awkward though.

 

[Robbo]

Jones has no technical abilities at all

Hey, that's our future best ever player you're talking about.

 

[Robbo]

Luiz embarrassing Chelsea there. Haha.

 

[Robbo]

Oh dear.

 

[Robbo]

Stupid Rafael.

 

[Robbo]

Knew that was coming. Stupid.

 

[Robbo]

Surely that should be rescinded. Hilarious decision.

He kicked out at him, you can't do that. Idiotic. Luiz is a tool though.

 

[Robbo]

Gutted Spurs

No Champions League for Spurs and Bale will want out, might make him a tad cheaper.

Pretty bad performance though, the squad (more first eleven) does need some strengthening in the summer without question. Not a good game to judge us on though as we've nothing to play for and Chelsea aren't exactly bad, and even then, they struggled.

It's a shame for Rafael as he's been an absolute beast all season and was one of our better players this game too.

 

[Robbo]

I have nothing against Spurs or Arsenal but I think the close season would be far more interesting if Spurs got 4th and Arsenal 5th. I would have liked to see if Arsenal had a proper shake up without CL football.

Instead they will continue to take the money and threaten to spend while actually doing nothing.

I think that would be interesting too. Spurs have really got to go and beat Chelsea on Wednesday now, should be a great game.

 

[Robbo]

I think he's obviously the best manager ever at league competitions, but it seems that comes at the cost of having a reliably strong first eleven, we're usually patchy in that area, or have been more recently.

Hopefully it will be addressed in the summer as we're not far off really. It sounds like it might be.

Apparently the Everton fans were singing the victim song yesterday?
