The persistent fawning is vomit inducing.

Think we've got a good chance against these "young Liverpool pups who are defying the odds" right now by even being on the same pitch as chelsea, who themselves will be devastated if they miss this easy chance to win a cup.

Plucky plucky Liverpool... average age of 24 you know.

[Lighthouse]

I’ve yet to watch a single game in the history of football where I was glad to see extra time.

Isn't Chelseas team a lower average age? Their starting line up had two players over 25 and none over 30 - Liverpool's had 6 over 25 and 2 over 30.

Neil Warnock getting his first taste of VAR up in Scotland compared the technology  of the system to the Horizon post office scandal 🙄

Is mad that VVD goal ruled out and tackle that ended Gravenberch’s game is ok. I just fucking hate it all round. Minutiae that doesn’t matter being picked up on. No one asked for that

If it ends square after extra time then nobody should win it.

Only the great Jurgen trusts youth. We will miss his genius

Chelsea current players on the pitch have an average age of 22.9, but that doesn't fit the narrative...

They've also brought on Tsimkas and Gomez both over 25 as well. 

Fuck are these commentators talking about.

All the players look pissed off at having to play this game.

If neither team scores I can see this going to penalties 

[Weston Super Saint]

Wankers

[John Boy Saint]

Let the wankfest begin

[Saint_clark]

Not sure about that celebration between Tsimikas and Van Dijk...

Christ, Drury is having a meltdown with VvD scoring

he commentary winds me up when ever anyone has a shot he shouts "and it's *insert players name* and pauses, like it's the greatest bit of commentary you've ever heard.

[Saint_clark]

Poch might actually get sacked after this those fans are livid.

[obelisk]

Just a quick reminder of the farcical over-the-top twat-fest that we're attempting to get back to.

[AlexLaw76]

Oh fuck off Drury....Just fuck off

On the game, absolute embarrassment from Chelsea

[SambaMaverick]

Chelsea are an embarrassment, how have they fallen so far in such a short time

[Saint_clark]

I assume it was a different teenage Van Dijk that scored and not the £75million 32 year old?

They’ll need to use some bloody strong bleach to clean off that commentary gantry after that Liverpool fawning wankfest

Now all fuck off and go on the piss until Wednesday

I had to turn that off before it gave me diabetes.

[Harry_SFC]

Liverpool deserved that. Hopefully they are still knackered/pissed for Wednesday night.

I get the two analysts for a Cup Final. BUT either have two 'neutrals' or if you must have one from each side. 

 

I'm no Chelsea lover but they've become the team that everyone likes to have an easy pop about and of course Sky's love-in with Liverpool is legendary. 

 

 

[Dark Munster]

Poch, the world's greatest manager at everything except winning trophies*, does it again!

Let's hope we play SAA, Meghoma, Dibling and Bragg on Wednesday..

[S-Clarke]

The standard of Chelsea's team, after spending £1bn on it, is absolutely horrific.

They have overspent on every single one of their signings. Jackson was linked to us and Bournemouth, because we are his level - Chelsea need to be aiming better than players like him, but no they focused on him and spent £35m on him to top it off. Lavia had a good season with us but was still growing, he was not worth £60m - yet they felt they'd spunk that on him.

The pointless uneducated splurge they have made in the transfer market has probably killed their top of the table competitiveness for a generation. FFP will strangle them for a long time now, whilst the others just get further away.

[danjosaint]

After watching as I don't normally watch Chelsea can't believe how poor Enzo is

[Lord Duckhunter]

Neville is a twat, but he was right about Chelsea bottling it. They had Liverpool on the ropes at the end of normal time, but were very passive in extra time. Klopp defo seemed to do a better job in the break before the extra 30. personally, I don’t get the hype over Cole Palmer or Gallagher and they both reinforced that opinion today. Gallagher missed a sitter & a couple of decent chances, and Palmer disappeared as the game wore on.

The more I see them play, the more I think both Jackson and Gakpo were two more poor finds from our scouting teams last season and we dodged a couple of bullets there. Would've been a few more million wasted. The two are struggling at Chelsea and Liverpool where chances are coming aplenty each game.

Ramos also isn't pulling up many trees in France, but that's more from his stats pages, rather than watching him play for PSG.

[Stripey McStripe Shirt]

Everton points deduction has been reduced to 6 points. Premier League clearly shat themselves that Everton might genuinely have been at risk of the drop. 

[Holmes_and_Watson]

But don't they have the same charges to face for the subsequent annual accounts? I was thinking that they didn't want to give them twenty, but will give them 12 in the end, across them both.

Will that be concluded in time for this season though? Its a farcical situation

He reads from a script and his constant use of poetic or latin phrases is both unnatural and annoying. 

[Holmes_and_Watson]

I caught Kieran Maguire on the radio regarding Everton. He said there's a chance that any penalty imposed would be considerably reduced, based on the reduction via appeal of this one, and also the offence being related to one they've already been punished for. He was indicating it could be reduced by up to 2/3 so 2 or 3 points.
