It's a bit like rich Watford

Soon they'll need one stand of the stadium just to seat all the off duty players.
Ederson is a funny player.
Both went for the ball and Haaland clattered him, maybe I’m old fashioned but those contacts right in front of goal shouldn’t be a foul, except against the keeper. If we have a goal like that chalked off I’d be fuming.
Ah ok, cheers. Would be sensible if VAR can intervene on blatant yellows, whether or right though.
Don't think there is any team really looking amazing in this first round of games which is to be expected after a Euros.
Lavia looks impressive.
One more time please.
Villa looked pretty good. As did Brighton
Arsenal looked the best of an average lot.
This feels a bit like a 1980s Boxing Day match with both teams a bit hungover.
Greedy by KDB.
KdB doing his best Bruno in big game impression.
So is Enzo's behaviour just being allowed go without punishment or is it ongoing?
Just like 90% of the other games City are involved in, this is very tumescent and sleep inducing game.
Haaland moves so awkwardly. He does have an absolutely incredible eye for goal, but he really looks like he's never practiced any other part of the game.
This match just reminds me not to watch too many Man. City games this year. Chelsea usually give them a decent game but when they're in control like this it's really boring to watch as a neutral.
I’m scorning myself for not using ‘Lavia Majora’ for my FPL team name. Commentators sound like they say labia.
Had to settle for ‘Yoro Wizard Harry’. Mediocre.
If that was Martinez, it was going to be a penalty.
Being fouled in penalty area is penalty.
Now once again. Clear handball. Chelsea is nog going to get any penalty today.
Players are allowed to surround the ref again then
The new guidelines on handball save Kovacic there, last season thats given 100%
Last year it was a pen
Never a handball.
Non of these Chelsea appeals have been very convincing
Non of these Chelsea appeals have been very convincing
Chelsea got a penalty for less than that against us last season.
That Chelsea home kit is ugly.
Have they changed again? What are they now?
Now watch that be given by onfield ref, and not overturned by VAR for someone next week.
That is top class, don't sell yourself short.
I don't follow those anymore with so many changes, but good.
Renato Viega coming on.
Me neither.
Me neither.
They never got given against City though, Jack Grealish literally saved a goal in the FA Cup Semi when he handled the ball to stop it going in the net and nothing was given.
Ugh, the 2 most odious teams in the league.
They've changed the rules, it was getting ridiculous with defenders trying to keep their arms behind their backs when challenging for the ball in the box, and to be honest from that distance it shouldn't be a pen.
Finding it hilarious that commentary has to explain who these players are when they come on because no body has a clue
Basically they're gone back to a few years ago where if it looks like the player couldn't do anything about it, no pen. And the VAR intervention bar has been raised too, so its no longer stepping on subjective decisions.
Veiga on. No one that young should have a moustache.
Maresca has an ear piece in so he can learn too.
