    This won’t be a popular view amongst football fans, but the Third Round of the FA Cup does make me think more kindly of VAR ⚽

    The German rendering of Ben Lyttleton’s Twelve Yards reads like it’s about monitoring elves

    I’d read that book too

    Thoughts on yesterday’s Tottenham - Chelsea match ⚽

    • wasn’t it marvellous?

    • caicedo was maybe lucky to stay on, but not as lucky as Kulusevski

    • Spurs need to take action against the daft people who chucked stuff at our players, and the FA need to take action against the daft club that gave them the stuff to throw

    • I love all sorts of music…but “Tottenham Hotspur, it’s happening again” is my favourite song

    • The Athletic: Palmer’s Panenka penalty was as brilliant as it was utterly disrespectful.

    • as I say…. marvellous

    Thoughts on the Chelsea match this afternoon

    • lovely to see a bit of proper ice-cold Cole Palmer magic again

    • Caicedo man of the match imho

    • great tackle by Cucarellla for the first goal

    • indirect free kicks in the box seem really tough to score from

    • the Arsenal are ahead of us in the League on alphabet. We need to change our name to AFC Chelsea ⚽

    I have to say I prefer it when we’re 6-0 up at half time #CheArs ⚽

    I enjoyed the cover of this month’s Cfcuk…I remember a similar cover featuring David Luiz

    Also, nice to know that at least a couple of the Undertones are Chelsea

    Thoughts on this evening at Chelsea Vs Noah

    • Mudryk often needs to drop 5-10 yards. He’s fast enough that he doesn’t need to be level with the right back

    • it felt a bit mean to sing ‘we want ten’…but I did want ten

    • I would sing ‘we want ten’ at the Arsenal match on Sunday

    • Nkunku looked frustrated for a lot of the match. No balloon when he scored even

    • the penalty was a bit soft

    • I thought it was funny the way the players went over to watch the VAR replay, over the referee’s shoulder

    • Joao Felix MOTM…he hates the Arsenal

    • Noah were a bit better than 8-0 really

    • the 211 to Battersea Power Station, then the Northern Line isn’t a bad way back to Waterloo, and it was pretty at night

    • we’re Top of the League

    We had a good night tonight but managed to miss one of the highlights

    there was some light relief near the home bench. Nicolas Jackson was very pleased with himself after balancing a cup of soup on Marc Cucurella’s head.

    I don’t think I’ve ever been so excited about the appointment of an England manager as I am about Thomas Tuchel

    He got Chelsea punching above our weight, he was very popular with fans and players, and if his nationality upsets the knuckle-dragging sections of England’s media and fanbase then so much the better ⚽

    I still miss Jose

    The Fenerbahce manager, José Mourinho, was booked by the referee on Sunday after he protested against a VAR decision to disallow a goal by placing a laptop in front of a TV camera and displaying a picture in an effort to show the offside decision was incorrect
