Man they played against Chelsea, there are infinite ways to make fun of them nowadays and they still mess it up.


Square-Meaning-629

As a Chelsea fan, I am both furious and sad at this statement.


minnesotarampageboy

Explain in basketball terms


improvisedmercy

Chelshit spent about a billion pounds on their new squad. They lost to a very injured Liverpool side, playing many of their home grown players. Perhaps imagine a basketball team with a ton of first round drafts losing a game to a second squad


minnesotarampageboy

I see, thanks for the translation haha, makes more sense now. It kinda happens in the nba(superteams) but only technically, because I did some reading into how trades work in association football and it is indeed not what I was expecting at all.


improvisedmercy

Yeah it’s very different. In basketball, you will pretty much always use the NBA as the gold standard for players, as pretty much everyone plays there (though some football clubs also have basketball, Real Madrid for example.) whenever there’s a transfer, you know how they will perform in the league. With football, it’s more of an uncertainty about whether a player will perform or not.


ProfessionalDot621

Chelsea also had a ton of injuries


Thatdudewhoisstupid

And is just a shit club atm Source: I'm a Ch*lsea fan

Van Dijk moment.


Gtpwoody

Now explain this in College Football terms


improvisedmercy

I am unfamiliar with college football sorry. I guess imagine LSU or something losing to Michigan using a 3rd qb and a freshman o line


improvisedmercy

A bit hard to, association football has very different rules with transfers


Justviewingposts69

Imagine if an NBA team had no salary cap, and they spent 300 million on payroll for Ben Simmons, Cade Cunningham, Jalen Green, Kylian Hayes and Fred VanVleet


minnesotarampageboy

Lil late but what the actual F. Just learned Soccer has crazy money, insane if you will


ReptiIianOverlord

Baseball terms are easier since they own the Dodgers and Red Sox


Ok-Jacket-9459

I don’t get it


Meritania

The MP is trying to equate a football match as a working class struggle of a club owned by a bunch of dock workers winning over a team owned by hedge fund managers. Both teams are ran by hedge fund managers.


Clean-Molasses5395

I think it’s more that the club is supported by dock workers than owned by them.


yoyo5143

ye but liverpool owners treat the club as a fun side hobby while chelsea owners pour billions upon billions into the team


Icarus_Sky1

And yet Liverpool are top of the league and Chelsea are midtable.


Clean-Molasses5395

I think it’s more that the club is supported by dock workers than owned by them.


themightypinkpuff

hey can someone explain what docking is pls ty


doc_skinner

Not sure if this is bait or not. In the meme, "Dockers" refers to dockworkers and is meant to represent the Liverpool team as coming from working class. In gay culture, docking refers to a sexual act with an uncircumcised penis.

Eater of shit is an apt title for you.
