I remember just before COVID, I was in the Copthorne with my dad and my brother who was 10 when we met Bobby Tambling.
He introduced himself to my brother and spent 10/15 minutes just chatting.
A gentleman who created a core family memory for us.
Thank you Bobby. Rest easy 💙
Chelsea Football Club has very sadly lost one of our most legendary players with the passing of Bobby Tambling at the age of 84.
We send our deepest condolences to Bobby’s family and friends at this difficult time.
@GoonerInParis@TheFootyFeed Keown is one of the most boring people to exist in media, as well as being insanely biased. At least the others are funny one a show literally called ‘The Sports Bar’… haaaaaaaaaaaas anyone seeen Gabriel 🤣
So close, Arsenal were so close, it’s so cruel, they’ve waited so long, this their 24th attempt to win the European Cup/Champions League, their 240th game in the competition, so many years of hurt going back to 71-72. So near and yet so far, so much heartache now, devastated players and supporters. Down and out for London against Paris.
Arsenal can take pride from Budapest if no trophy. They gave everything. They lived with PS-G, the European champions for two hours. They defended well, ran themselves into the ground in their 63rd game of the season. But that shootout. So cruel. Poor Eze, such an entertainer, so committed to the team and the club, one of the most likeable people in the game. Dragged his kick wide. Eze is a regular taker, took them for Palace and QPR.
Sapping conditions and extra time meant changes meant some of the first penalty picks, Havertz (22 out of 23 converted) Saka, Odegaard, were subbed off. And did David Raya commit early? Worked v Nuno Mendes tbf.
And particularly cruel that it should be poor Gabriel at the death, the sudden death, skying his pen. Gabriel’s been outstanding this season, taking responsibility when Arsenal needed him most in games, superb across two hours against PS-G. He took responsibility when his team needed him most in the shootout, stepping up for the fifth pen.
Pressure on, at the PS-G end, 4-3 down, he had to score but missed. Kudos to Marquinhos for consoling his compatriot. PS-G are great champions, back-to-back, a joy to watch but needing to battle here, in a scrappy final against Arsenal. They dominated possession and, just about, deserved the win. Never a penalty Mendes on Madueke. Vitinha immense. Again.
Those who mock Arsenal will say how fitting that Arsenal’s season decided by dead-balls. Arsenal will use this as further fuel for their fire. They will have to go again. Mikel Arteta’s side have built for this. Quarter-final in 24, semi-final in 25, final in 26. Go again for 27. Make Declan Rice captain, strengthen the squad, and go again. #AFC #PSGARS #UCLfinal

@Rory_Talks_Ball Rory, you can say that about any title winning team. We don’t need to be happy for you. Congratulations on your deserved win… I say through gritted teeth 😅
The lights.
The drum.
The chop.
And that spotlight on you as you run out to face the best team in baseball.
Braves have the NL East in hell. #BravesCountry
@Ticketmaster@FIFAWorldCup just FYI, no one is paying $700+ (the cheapest ticket available) to see Spain vs Cabo Verde. The stadiums will be empty unless scalpers decide to give up their tickets. I’ll give you this one for free.
Even if Chelsea had won every game 5-0 with Will McKenzie in charge, he should still be sacked for the sole reason of deciding to wear a hoodie under a suit jacket.
The worst manager that Chelsea have ever had. Formed in 1905 & this is the tip of the shit iceberg. A suit jacket over a hoodie? So out of his depth and his Diary of a CEO, LinkedIn, motivational speaker, marginal gains type nonsense makes a mockery out of us. Sack him tonight.
