It wasn't pretty but we got the win and clean sheet

And according to many pundits, Everton should have gone for Moyes rather than Ancelotti Grin Come on Bournemouth.

UserFriendly14 · 24/06/2020 22:07

Ridiculously happy with the win Grin

As much as I missed football, I didn’t realise how much I missed the next day analysing!

Now you're gonna believe us! 30 years! #ynwa (thank you Chelsea!)

DuncinToffee · 26/06/2020 11:52

We all knew it was going to happen, congrats #utft

Now that is done, there is still a lot to play for, European places, relegation/promotion, FA cup, it just feels a bit flat without the fans.

LetsGoFlyAKiteee · 28/06/2020 20:16

Nice to be going to Wembley..shame its against Man U again!

DuncinToffee · 02/07/2020 07:55

A game of two halves but we won! And got our first penalty of the season Football

Sad new about Wigan going into administration

LetsGoFlyAKiteee · 02/07/2020 21:05

Just a shame we didn't take advantage and lost to West Ham instead....Good win for you though!

Shock VAR: Premier League confirms wrong penalty decisions in all Thursday games

North London derby today.

So glad Arsenal appointed Arteta. There were rumours of Maureen being close to being our manager; but he went to Spurs instead, and we're seeing the predictable outcome of that decision.

Even if Spurs beat us today, he'll still corrode their club from within.

DuncinToffee · 12/07/2020 14:04

That was bad, no passion, no drive, nothing. The official club commentary compared the team to subbuteo players Grin

Ah well, at least we have Carlo Ancelotti.

Norwich relegated.

WhiteHartLane · 12/07/2020 14:19

Spurs won't win today. Didn't want Jose as Manager and neither do some of the players by the looks of it. Surprised he took the role tbh, he won't get the blank cheque he's used to.

Would love for Bournemouth to stay up but can't see it now sadly. I won't miss Norwich Grin

LetsGoFlyAKiteee · 12/07/2020 21:20

Chelsea need a new sponsor..since taken over by Three we've lost 3-0..3-2 and won 3-0. Yet somehow in the top 4.
Rumours going round City have won the appeal..guess find out tommrow.

Didn't care who won the Derby but its funny to see the Arsenal TV blokes reaction. And that Luiz got a contract extension

WhiteHartLane · 12/07/2020 21:59

I was suprised by the win. Arsenal have been the more in form team out of the 2. It was a tight game.

I have also heard the same rumour re.City.

Excellent wins for Bournemouth and Villa. Keeps the race for survival interesting.

BelfastBloke · 13/07/2020 11:18

Citeh ARE allowed to play in the Champs League next season. Looks like that's the end for any European footy for Arsenal for the time being. Even if we beat Citeh in the semifinals of the FA cup, it'd still be a tall order to go on to beat Utd or Chavski in the final.

DuncinToffee · 13/07/2020 11:36

No real surprise there. Does that mean the end of FFP?

DuncinToffee · 20/07/2020 20:18

Much better from Everton, good win.

So
Arsenal v Chelsea FA cup final
Norwich relegated
Leeds promoted
Watford (!) and Huddersfield sacked their manager

WhiteHartLane · 21/07/2020 10:26

Sacking Pearson at this stage is a strange decision. Deeney denying any fights etc but something like that must have happened.

Spurs need Chelsea to do them a favour Sunday by beating Wolves (assuming we beat Palace). Otherwise it goes down to the FA cup final.

Shame Leagues 1 & 2 had to be abandoned, Gillingham had had a decent season and were in with a playoff shout. They need to get loaning players as currently only have 9 in contract Shock

LetsGoFlyAKiteee · 21/07/2020 19:52

No logic..he gave them hope and its hard to keep teams up sometimes..still might make it yet. Daft timing..daft decision unless things went down behind doors.

DuncinToffee · 23/07/2020 10:23

Championship

Promoted: Leeds and West Brom
Play offs: Brentford, Fulham, Cardiff & Swansea
Relegated: Charlton, Wigan & Hull

Not sure what happens if Wigan win their appeal against the 12 points deduction.

LetsGoFlyAKiteee · 26/07/2020 18:14

Do feel for Forest!

Somehow..somehow despite the transfer ban and other goings on..chelsea finished 4th!

DuncinToffee · 26/07/2020 18:59

Glad this season is over, our last match was dire.

Gutted that Leighton Baines is retiring from football, what a left back he was for Everton 💙

LetsGoFlyAKiteee · 15/08/2020 17:12

Feels weird in less then a month season starts again...
And yesterday result was also bizzare!! I know Barcelona have slid down a lot but to lose like that..woops!

LetsGoFlyAKiteee · 04/10/2020 22:22

Day of mad scores

DuncinToffee · 05/10/2020 17:16

Weird and wonderful Grin
I am absolutely enjoying the start of this season, 'the spirit of the blues'

Olinguito · 09/10/2020 16:10

Me too Duncin. For the first time in ages I feel really proud of our team!
