"You can stick your new stadium up your arse" sing the United support. Reinforcing the point that the performance of the team is the most important thing for match-going supporters.

I actually think there’s 3 red cards in this sequence 🤣 - Van De Ven tackle - deliberate hand ball from Fernandes to stop Palmer going 1 on 1 with the keeper - Palmer’s attack on Fernandes
🚨 Should this have been a RED CARD for Cole Palmer ? #CHETOT

I'll forgive everything apart from a lack of fight. That performance by the team and coach were unacceptable against anyone but even more so against them. How the manager didn't change anything at half time was baffling.

Already dropped 42% of home pts available to this season so far. Fully expect to drop more pts agains Utd. Poor by Alonso.

I think there’s a tipping point coming in the not-too-distant future when match-going fans simply call it a day. Speaking to a lot of people recently, there’s a growing sense of disconnect between the club and its supporters, particularly after the way fans were treated over the summer. The feeling is becoming increasingly widespread, and I think the club risks underestimating just how much that relationship is deteriorating.
All the chaos at United starts and ends with the ownership. We all know this. Everything in between - the standards dropping, the football falling apart, the culture eroding - has just been the inevitable fallout. Until that changes, nothing will.

A little snippet... Not everyone at Chelsea loves the Penders/Courtois comparisons. Some think it invites unnecessary pressure on their 21yo Belgian. But there is a nice tale connecting the two. Penders’ father, Peter, is friends with Courtois’ old man, Thierry. When Penders was once struggling to find boots that fit properly because his shoe size is so large, Thierry heard about the problem, and made sure he received the perfect pair 🤝 More in the piece:

That's it, #CFC win 2-0. Comfortably the best result of Alonso's brief reign so far. Would have been a good victory anyway, but throw in Martinez's injury, a first clean sheet since January and it really is a break from the norm. You can tell the players and Alonso are happy.

🚨🗣 Wayne Rooney wasn't happy with Everton fans booing Emi Martinez: "Chelsea fans wouldn't have done that if it was there player on the ground" "That was just disastrous and disturbing, at some point I had to close my ears because that was just too awful to listen to, they should be ashame of what they did out there"

Before we get the predictable raft of disrespectful posts regarding Reece and this latest injury please remember one thing. The person who feels the worst about it is Reece himself. Have some empathy please.

Good piece worth visiting the links attached in it Two missing details: - Cech is a triplet (really) so his skull thickness is thinner than usual - Jose visited him in hospital and spoke to him in french. When Petr replied in french too, Jose knew he was going to be ok eventually

An important question for @JohnHealey_MP. Next April - Full new State Pension will likely rise to £13,040/yr - Tax-free personal allowance frozen at £12,570/yr So the full new State Pension would normally attract tax. Yet you've said you'll honour former Chancellor Rachel Reeves' promise that those whose ONLY income is the State Pension won't pay tax. But will that be a cliff edge? If someone gets say just £30/yr from a tiny pension from an old job, would they lose that protection and face around £100 in tax for just thirty quid income? And what about a little savings interest? Even if it's tax-free under the starting rate for savings, would it count as extra income and cost them the tax? This needs to be thought through when you tell us in the budget.
