Nice post Og you got more patience than i have. Midnight i was fairly happy and could see us winning by the 3 to 4 goal margin i predicted,but then they scored and we just fell off a cliff...abysmal. Looking at "Beatrix and James Corden" both were dumbfounded/bewildered as to what to do next. Yes the introduction of Kovacic Gallagher and Ziyech did force us to play more aggressive but it was too little too late. Are we going to play on the front against City or are we going to sit deep? Sterling will probably start as i cant see Beatrix dropping him but Pulisic wont be starting imho and does not deserve too.

That was <deleted>...shown up in the 2nd half by Forest,s desire and determination to win as opposed to our lack lustre "Lets see What happens"approach. I thought both Pulisic and Sterling offered absolutely Jack <deleted>ttt...neither of them are consistent at covering/tracking back and helping there respective full backs. Dave bless him is past it in the position he played in and would be better suited in a three...or not played at all and Chalobah brought instead. Dennis had a game to forget and does not look 100% fit imho. Ziyech looked good when he came on but compared to the rest of the team it was easy to look good. Potter wont last till the end of the month if these lacklustre performances continue.

Going by the number of players we are being linked with signing.....shirt numbers will be 3 figures.

Yep, chalk and cheese those 2 half's of football....Pulisic did not impress me one bit,and why potter could not solve Dave getting exposed nearly every time Bournemouth came down that side is a little worrying...i,ll just remember the 1st half and hope the second performance won,t be repeated again.????

Good starting line up imo ... But question marks hang over both Pulisic and Sterling imho... Glad to see Dennis get a start, and James being back is a big plus. Starting line up has to do the business as the bench looks a little light...as it is full of relatively young inexperienced but talented individuals. Cotc.

Went to SCB in Central Festival last week asked if I could have my Tax ID entered on all 3 accounts....took about 20mins as girl (Back left counter) was walked through what to do by someone on the phone (Head Office?). She then said (being very pleased with herself) that that was the 1st time in 7 years that she had been asked and completed doing that. Today on my app it showed interest received yesterday on all 3 accounts with No Tax deducted ????

I think Morocco will be a tough nut to crack and I am not sure how Portugal will try to crack it. No disrespect to Morocco but should we beat France I would rather we face them than the Portuguese. Chelsea v Villa 9.10 pm tomorrow night ???? Friendly my arrrsse... Don't beat them or play well and Potters name will be written in pencil...easy to rub out.

Unfortunately the fawning and crowing for one South American side will continue..but only for one more game....i hope. Ronaldo if he gets any minutes tonight will struggle to make any impact with Gary Neville,s head wedged so firmly up his aarrssse. As for England,no matter who starts they will have a game changing bench (If Needed)...not going to be a problem either if Walker loses his head and gets an early yellow.... Cant see Kovacic playing for us again till very late January....i am knackered just looking at him.

He,ll be a party pooper if he don,t join in...".thuccking harlem globe trotting side"....bit of luck won,t be seeing them in the final...i hope.????

Stephanie Frappart gets a free pass in mens football for me... a very good referee. Would like to see her get a Brazil game and send "Snowy" off... Bleached hair diving little <deleted>.

Dennis eventually got some minutes for the Swiss yesterday,and done okay. Lucky though that his attempted head butt didn,t or has n,t drawn closer attention. Got a bad feeling about the England v Senegal game....probably going to be a tart in the commentary box....nothing for me ruins watching (men,s) football more than a woman commentating on it. Ziyech aint coming home yet as i can see his mob upsetting Spain..likewise Pulisic?

Do yourself a favour and save your gobby inaccurate offensive remarks until i am standing in front of you......then you can attempt to say what you like....okay? Your not funny your not clever and you impress no..one.

Just the 6 X & current Chelsea players in the Belgium team... Who to me look pretty laboured...

Not on that occasion Og....on my best behaviour as I was with my late Father... Though he did take exception with some Paddy who was mocking our reserve keeper (Philips) when they scored from the penalty spot... Why the Paddy was mocking Philips I don't know. 50 years ago I can remember it like it was yesterday.

1st Trophy I got a good look at.. As it was paraded around the ground before the home game with Man u .. Ossie delighted in thrusting it at the Man u fans gathered under the "Old North Stand" yards from where I always stood. Lost that game 2-3 after going 1 up and seeing George Best sent off before half time.. Not a happy memory.... But have had hundreds of great ones since ????????

Some bloke nicknamed "stroller" (George G) was pretty handy as well 35 goals in 72 games (sold to the Arsse) and (Terry V) sold to the other North London outfit...Hudson too went to the (Arsse) yep we were sellers....they new talent when they saw it ...and then flogged it No regrets from me about Ray Wilkins though as he was a class act and deserved to play for better team than we were at the time....and no that did not hurt to say that.

The 19 major Trophies won since 1996 has made up for that...add the double digit number of losing finals and being runners up,and i am a happy camper

We dont do serious trouble...we do minor blips.

Phewww 6 weeks much needed rest from having to endure what GP is dishing up for us. Pretty sure that were we to have a game in midweek then he would probably have played Mendy up front or in a wing back role. Difference between the 2 sides,they are all singing from the same hymn sheet...while we are playing name that tune. Got no confidence in Potter at all....Jorg gets booked after 30 mins so replace him at h/time with Dennis...nooooo. Thuccck it i,m off down the driving range.

Southgate should not take Sterling to the World Cup (the WC maybe and lock him in it)......i would have Toney or hamstring Wilson over him all day...his 1st touch is non existent sits on arrrssse like Pulisic thinking every tackle he/they receive should result in a free kick. Little doubt that orangutan will start on Saturday,give him some proper service and who knows...dally on the ball and pass it sideways and we all know the outcome of that. Yeah i.ll put my head on the block and say we could give them real problems...just hope we do....and not make them look better than they are like we did with the Arrrssse......though i think they are stronger than arrssse fwiw.

Well it was better than Sunday,and despite the scoreline better finishing and i think we could have won. I would like to see Pulisic and Sterling on Sunday...at a Car boot sale...any offers would be appropriate useless clumsy greedy dysfunctional cntus. I would also like to see Kovacic with black eye where Potter has smashed him in the face (Tuchel would have) for repeatedly playing kamakazi football outside of our box and other areas of the pitch. Mendy ...how about holding on to the ball instead repeatedly palming out. Fed up with the amount of criticism that Cucurella gets..not his fault he was valued at 60mil + and for me he does a good job. Man of the match for us imho goes to 18 year old Lewis hall who could and should have bagged 2 goals,don,t care that he didn,t..well done lad. No criticism of Koulibaly bloke reads the game and is a must have....Dennis too played more than okay and hopefully will start against the Geordies ...would love to see Hall keep his place but Potter aint strong enough to do that.

Not bothered if we lose tonight /morning so long as we make a showing. Still haven't come to terms with that pile of shiytte we dished up on Sunday. Good thing about our injuries (if there is good thing?) Reece Fofana Chilwell Kante kepa... No world Cup for them so hopefully fit for Boxing day????????

Flimsy performance,not what is required to win most matches and certainly not a London derby. My swear box is full now though...must have said pass the thuccking thing at least 5 times as someone sought to go it alone when totally surrounded. I blame potter for that performance,Dennis and koulibaly should have started and Sterling should have been hooked at half time though he did have a better last 20 minutes. Cucerella like you say Og done a good job he can be pleased with his performance seeing as he was one on one with that slippery diving little thuckker nearly game and rarely did he get past him. World cup cant come soon enough for me....

This is a massive game for us,i know we have injuries at the back but nowadays anyone can play anywhere so no excuses. Moreover Arsenal Man u and yeah Bournemouth have had the wood over us for a while now and we need this on Sunday and so does Potter. Play smart and be positive and we can do this ...any flimsy or half hearted and we are......you know the rest.

Auba...I dont want to defend him but to his credit there was a moment in that second half last night where he had tracked back to the edge of our penalty and instigated if not completed himself ..robbing them of there possession of the ball...i was gobsmacked and impressed. Put in a shift there will be no criticism from me. What i liked about Dennis last night was he received or passed/layed off the ball and then immediately moved forward creating an option......smart imho
