Obligatory fuck Chelsea 🖕🏼

That was a pretty bad debut from Caicedo. Players leaving the postive and stable environment of Brighton to go to the chaos of Chelsea.

All about the £££££££

One of the weakest benches you'll ever see from Man City and yet they still beat Newcastle. Ffs man

MHPengwingz@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 3y (1 reply)

Which is why I do see us beating them at least once

Astrealix@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 3y

I'm tempted to say we can do the double on them tbh.

Newcastle honestly looked hopeless against them

This West Ham vs Chelsea match was perfectly scripted. West Ham were winning 2-1 with a man down. Mudryk misses an open volley and actually hits it with so much slice it goes to side and backwards. Caicedo then gives up a penalty in the 94th minute. Then guess who takes the penalty… Lucas Paqueta who scores and seals the deal.

Can't forget the Enzo PK miss too. Holy shit, what a beautifully ironic match.

3rd times the charm. Everton getting relegated this season? Lol

Astrealix@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 3y (2 replies)

Hope not, just cuz I don't wanna see them pull a Leeds lol. Have a feeling if they go down they're going a long way down.

ironeaglebird@sopuli.xyz · 3 pts · 3y (1 reply)

Not looking good for Leeds right now. Everton would be a disaster with their wages.

Astrealix@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 3y

And more importantly their half built stadium

Hoping free talk is okay here: I just started reading this book called Man’s Search For Meaning by Viktor Frankl, an Austrian, Jewish psychiatrist who survived the holocaust. This one is going to hurt like a motherfucker.

Astrealix@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 3y (3 replies)

Honestly, the Holocaust was so tragic that I don't understand why we're essentially fine with having more genocides happen — obviously not at the same scale but Uyghurs are still being fucked and so are Ukrainians, though obviously we do a lot more about that one.

throbbingpens@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 3y (2 replies)

And those are just the ones we know about.

Astrealix@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 3y (1 reply)

I think there's also one in Tigray, which is part of Ethiopia, but I don't know enough to say

ronsboy67@mas.to · 4 pts · 3y

@Astrealix @throbbingpens The Tigray crisis has killed WAY more people than the Russia-Ukraine war but gets very little coverage in the West, despite the efforts of the head of WHO to keep it in the public eye

Astrealix@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 3y

Yeah free talk's fine not like we've got much to discuss lol

Astrealix@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 3y (3 replies)

Chelsea. HAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

ironeaglebird@sopuli.xyz · 2 pts · 3y (1 reply)

How many more £100m plus midfielders to fix their striker situation?

Astrealix@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 3y

To be fair, I think it's genuinely cursed. Look how many good strikers have gone there and fucked it up lol.

coygsu@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 3y

The Premier League writers after adding Caicedo into the Chelsea vs West Ham script as soon as his transfer was official.

TheBig2023Meltdown@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 3y (3 replies)

Started chilwell and benched areola 🙃

Astrealix@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 3y (2 replies)

Why on Earth did you think putting a Chelsea player on your FPL was a good idea XD

ironeaglebird@sopuli.xyz · 3 pts · 3y (1 reply)

Taking one for the team and giving Chelsea that bad juju.

throbbingpens@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 3y

Hey me too! I had Madueke and Disasi

Astrealix@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 3y (5 replies)

It's been barely any games yet I'm tempted to sell Gross for someone in FPL already lol

throbbingpens@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 3y (4 replies)

I swapped Rashford for Jota. Rashford hat trick incoming.

Astrealix@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 3y (3 replies)

You have more faith in Liverpool than I do then lol, I'm not even convinced Jota plays every game, I have Szoboszlai

throbbingpens@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 3y (2 replies)

I don’t XD I felt like it was a bad idea especially since I already have Diaz. I did it anyway, let’s see how it goes.

Astrealix@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 3y (1 reply)

Fair enough. Feel like Nunez might take his spot easily enough tho, which is why I went for Szoboszlai lol

throbbingpens@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 3y

I think so too. When that happens I’ll get whoever is in form (if I can afford them).
