I'd argue that just 5 or so years ago they did have great players in their prime, they just couldn't get it over the line.

You seem to be rather argumentative today - what the hell is your problem?

True - it's just one of those things along with racism that just won't even go away and the authorities aren't doing enough to stamp it out.

Hate? Not at all, I love Maguire - as a matter of fact, every other set of fans love him apart from Man United fans. I was just giving my two centson what I'd do if I were the manager of United - Maguire is a gift that keeps on giving lol.

If I remember correctly, Juventus has never really won it and with the state of their team, they're not going to get there for a good while either.

You're correct but then again, Chelsea fans aren't exactly saints either in that sense.

250m?! I could've named more but the list is exhaustive. Oh trust me, I hate Man United even more - I'm always glad to see them overpay on slightly above average players and then complain they're no good.

It's not just this season either, it's been this way for the last decade with only Juventus making two UCL finals and doing poorly in both.

I get that but didn't know that's why they called them that.

Of course not genius - You're just looking for an argument aren't you? I've been to London several times and even been to Premier League matches with Chelsea involved and their fans never said anything about it when rival fans were chanting it so I wouldn't have known that. It's just kind of weird that everyone just got up one day and remembered that.

I have no doubt that once Liverpool batters them again, they'll try to throw Ten Hagg under the bus as well. I can't figure for the life of me what he really expects to get out of these players who have thrown multiple managers under the bus.

You think Man United would've learnt from paying 90m for Pogba, 80m for Maguire, 80m for Lukaku...but nope they just keep going lol.

Not really, mockery and dislikes is different. Homophobia is different and I wouldn't support that - the rent boy thing was always harmless banter until for whatever reason in the UK, they decided to make it a homophobic slur. Couldn't they use something else? lol

I mean Serie A is levels below La Liga, Epl and Bundesliga. Do you notice that most Serie A teams always do poorly in Europe. For instance, last year, AC Milan - the league champions dropped out of Europe after finishing last in their group. Inter Milan in the round of 16 in the Champions League, Napoli in the Europa League and Juventus in the round of 16 against a mediocre Villareal. The only team that did anything in Europe this season was Roma and they won the Conference League (European 3rd tier but still...).

I just don't like to see players start sulking when something isn't quite going their way instead of trying to encourage the rest of the team to do better.

The point is that the origin wasn't homophobic to begin with so why are they making it into something it isn't.

You're correct and I hope they really address it so that they can be competitive in the Champion's League again.

All Chelsea have been doing is trying to hijack deals and they haven't succeded even once while having the De Ligt transfer hijacked by Bayern. Man United just got bent over by Ajax to pay 57m for a 5ft 9 CB from the Dutch League and we know that the level of skill between the Dutch League and the English Premier League is night and day so I can see this one failing as well.

I love it - the look of disappointment on the face of the Chelsea players always delight me.

And therein lies the problem...Ronaldo wants to be competing for the biggest prizes but Man United isn't matching his level of ambition so he's still going to be frustrated.

I still think you guys are very light defensively and the rumors of Azpi and Alonso (two very old players themselves who've declined as well) going to Barca wouldn't fill me with joy.

Raphinha ain't a bad deal either - he's a very skillful and hardworking player and far more committed than Dembele who gets injured if he stubs his toe. Raphinha and Lewandoski will be a wicked partnership, mark my words.

The issue is I already kind of have my own reputation in addition to that so I really can't go most places without people interrupting me all the time. To be honest, it's the fake people that get on my nerves and there are times where I just want to roll incognito.

But then you have the ones like Lukaku who are used to the league but has flopped at two major clubs. The funniest part about it is Chelsea paid even more for Lukaku than Man United had bought him from Everton for and then Chelsea fans have the nerve to complain about his first touch when it's always been horrible.

That's reasonable and I heard Barcelona was looking at Kounde from Sevilla but I'm curious as to why they didn't try to go in for De Ligt. Now he's off to Bayern.
