Personally I think that booing that anthem should become de rigueur for all fans from now on.

I'm expecting to see plenty of gaps at OT next Wednesday, I have got my seat but keep getting emails offering me the chance to purchase up to four more. :rolleyes:

To be fair you'll probably have a game in the group stages that might not be as attractive as the others, so I can understand if it's not always a sell out. But although Sevilla might not currently be doing well in their league I wouldn't really class them as unattractive. The booing would be great, though UEFA would probably find a way to charge everyone.

Chelsea have imploded. Mourinho won't be sacked naturally but if things continue the way they are on the pitch as well as continuously himself being involved in some form of controversy then I can see him resigning as Chelsea manager.

The thing is Chelsea if they sack him will have one almighty big compensation bill and l am not sure they will want to do that at the moment.

Plus who would take over? Roman doesn't exactly have the best track record with managers does he? Only one I could have seen them appointing has gone to Liverpool. Although Guardiola seems to be struggling in Germany. Maybe he will come to Chelsea soon?

I said somewhere on here that it would cost a fortune to sack him cos he's recently signed til 2019. We never added what we really needed to the squad in the summer, and that's where our problems started, along with a late and awful pre-season. We're too predictable and don't have any really dynamic central midfielders to use, which was a problem at times in the second half of last season. I still don't think he'll go, and I'm sure you all agree with that seeing the fun he's giving you all lol.

Yes l quite agree in that Chelsea really did sod all in the summer to become less predictable as teams quickly suss sides out in the PS.

Well if Klopp quickly starts to perform his miracles we might just even pip you to 4th place Mr P.;)

Being honest, it might be good for us all if another team breaks into the top four and has a go at it. Leicester and West Ham are deservedly up there now and they'd certainly give the rest of Europe a shock if they stay there. Anyway, a couple of good results go your way and the table's still close enough to change, so the quadruple's still on for us.... :erm:

Oh dear, that's a pretty horrendous penalty decision. He's then somehow found a way to send him off too. Derby ruined by a shocker. Given that Gini Wijnaldum went down under the same circumstances less than 3 minutes earlier just makes it that much more worse. An undeserved lead and an undeserved red card. Penalty and a red card for a shoulder barge 3 minutes after Lee Cattermole plays it with his arm and then blocks off Wijnaldum, you'd think it was scripted. Seen this exact thing happen on a wing more time than I can remember, but because it's in the box it's a penalty and a red? Give over.

Edit: Surely now that one ref has managed to get himself into the headlines, you can't get another daft one for the 2pm kick off :D

Well its all over now with the black cats getting a second.

Re: Football Season 2015/2016
 
Now that's deserved.

Allardyce talk says it all really. Nothing to be done though, rather move on that moan for the rest of days. Waiting for Stevie's mandatory FA Ban for criticizing the ref now. After that absolute howler of a decision for vertonghen last year I thought we'd see a quality increase for refereeing, it instead just keeps getting worse.

There's a much better derby on now, today's questionable decision has already been used so we've got a nice game here.
Those staple guns are horrible, first hand experience, I missed what happened though?

Wasn't the best of games, looked like City had settled for a point at half time, both sets of forwards poor TBH. Good atmosphere though all the same.��

Re: Football Season 2015/2016
 
Yes l think both sides will be pretty happy with a point each.
