Weekend's other games 15/10/21

Sincerely, if you buy Ronaldo and you have him at your club for 2 years on big wages, he's there to win the League or the Champion's League, unless you have no faith in yourselves as a club to do that and get him solely for giving the fans the most short-lived and expensive "lift" imaginable.

If they missed out on Top Four this season (very early days, but it's possible) and he goes into next season (his last?) and they're not in the Champion's League, what are they hoping for? Suddenly conjuring a League win when ourselves, Man City and Chelsea are ticking along?

Their short-sightedness is legendary. They epitomise the opposite of the best bits of our strategy. We aren't perfect, but by God I'd much rather do things our way than theirs!

They literally are us in the 90s

Mighty Brighton move ahead of Utd lol

Hopefully Brentford will do the same later

Lukaku is still shite

Lazio 1-1 Inter. Two penalties. Lazio have Reina and Lucas playing for them.
Chelsea 1-0 up against Brentford. Be interesting to see how Chelsea cope with Brentford, Chelsea supposedly better than us defensively.

Think they've conceded 3 League goals this season to our 6, so are off to a decent start in that regard.

Lazio beat Inter 3-1, Lazio's second goal was fun.

Brentford are brilliant. Officially my second favourite team this season.

I wonder if Mendy’s face will end up winning Chelsea the title this year

It's things like that which can the difference. I see a 3 horse race now for the title.

Chelsea were very lucky to pick up 3 points at Brentford. Brentford had 17 shots 7 on target to Chelsea’s 5 with 1 on target.
They hit the woodwork twice had one cleared off the line while Mendy had an incredible game saving Chelsea time after time.
In a tight title race sometimes it’s the luckiest team that finishes on top.

It was very reminiscent of many a game we managed to somehow eek-out a win in during the 2018/9 and 2019/20 seasons - but yes they were very lucky not to concede
