Lol, I though that might touch a nerve. I apologise for the extremely low blow there.
Apology accepted 😁

It struck me whilst sat int he Chelsea end for the United game a couple of weeks ago that football fans (not just Chelsea, but especially Chelsea) are a bit daft.
Screaming for a foul and calling the red all sorts of names for try or bias to United, and then screaming at United players to get up and stop appealing when the same scenario happens.
We are all very juvenile and forgetful.

Well, I only mind because it was so obvious and ridiculous, and twice in a minute.
Other players gain terrible undeserved reputations for that sort of thing.
It amused me when Ronaldo injured himself jumping over a player: he cleared him by so much the other guy didn’t even see him, but he was genuinely hurt. He was then fouled on the touch line and the ref somehow failed to see that. He looked annoyed but he didn’t pursue it.
On a related note I enjoyed the handbags at the end of the Chelsea Leeds game. Rudiger looked ready to kill those accusing him of cheating.

The one thing that gets to me is when the fans in the corner are screaming because the ball is not in the corner arc. The ball does not have to be in the arc, it just needs to "overhang" the line.

That massively amuses me, like the inch is going to make all the difference anyway.

Throw-ins are always interesting. Not so much at the top level but at grass roots. I officiated where so many were questionable. Yes, I did blow for numerous foul throws but had to let some go otherwise the ball would never have gone back into play.
Even running the line, the thrower's toe being an inch over the touchline? Come one, just get on with the game!

That’s no penalty. Maddison, who come across as a piece of work, throws himself down.

How is Buendia playing for you lot now, Stuart Little?
Getting there, still lacking a bit of consistency but it's clear that he's a huge talent and will do well.

About time we won and deservedly so. Confess to thinking the inevitable equaliser was coming at 2-1 but happy and relieved.
