Football: Let's All Laugh at Chelsea

Useless factoid of the day: Oslo is _by far_ Norway's largest city. Something like 1/8 Norwegians live there. The only club hailing from Oslo in our top division this season is... the YMCA (KFUM Oslo). :rofl:

This is the best factoid of Norwegian football these days.

In Norway-news, Bryne FK today played away to newly-relegated-from-the-top-division Stabæk. We gave away a cheap goal on the counter early, and after that we spurned a couple of good chances. But that we could play on even terms with a promotion favourite away from home - I'll take that as positive.

Also, another useless factoid of Norwegian football: Stabæk is managed by Bob Bradley of PL infamy.

To add another factoid on that.

Bob Bradley's assistant is his son, Michael Bradley. Who has played in quite a few countries across Europe. Netherlands, Germany, Italy. I'll leave out his short and forgettable stint at Villa.

Pretty decent/okay player in his days.

Arsenal really are quite admirable, neutrally speaking. Play nice football, built the side the right way, unlike the other two title contenders they're not particularly dirty... Partey's continued presence aside, they're a likeable team. 

And they are really getting their moneys worth out of Havertz in '24. What I said about Mudryk. When you have functional team with a clear tactical idea and what a player's supposed to do, that helps a lot.

There is one team in the land who are almost impossible to score against and look like they are going to win every game. And it ain't Liverpool or City.

And....

"60 million down the drain, Kai Havertz scores again."

Is now looking like the second best signing of the season.

COYG.

Caught some highlights of the Arsenal game yesterday. What a team we have been in 2024. 10 wins, 1 draw, 35 goals for, 4 against, 4.98 xg. 5 straight away game clean sheets. Next closest defensive record is city with xg over 12. 4 months of pure bliss as a fan. 

Also, Kai Havertz has been immense since he’s become our starting CF. £60m well spent.

United appear to have overwatered the pitch to try and restrict our passing game.

Feels very like the FA cup game so far. Klopp’s picked a very ‘we’ll win in a back and forth shootout game’ side but that doesn’t work if we don’t put away some of these opportunities.
