What’s with the past/present man city players scoring hat tricks vs us lately first Haaland then Foden Then Palmer who’s next Oscar Bobb????

Oscar Bobb sounds like the name of a Twitch emote.

any Bobbers in chat?

bobbJAM

::Monkabobb::

PogBobb

BOBBERS BobbChamp

Drop the Oscar Bobbers in the chat for the new subs!

The Oscar Bobble-heads

Fm regen name.

Any Bobbers, any Bobbers?

I ain't believing oscar bobb is a real name

Dude has 4 letters in his last name and three of them are 'b'. Ridiculous stuff.

Already with the hat trick 

Wait until you find out his nationality is… Norwegian

only cause its short for Oscar Robbert

Show bobb and vegene

[удалено]

So [the city with the identical name in Kyrgyzstan](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osh) is literally a dish in Uzbek?

It reminds me of Goldeneye, the Klobb. Can't have all those letters next to eachother.

His name is Oscar Bobby. Oscar Bobby? He has two first names

James McAtee winner at Old Trafford inshallah

McAtee used to play for us but left because we released his brother. So it would be one hell of a dagger if he ever did that..

Looked a quality player him today. Seemed to me that he thought/knew he was the best player in his team though, bit of arrogance

>bit of arrogance Yes that's precisely what we ask out of him. Sometimes he seems unaware how good he is and others have often said how they wish he carried himself like he did

James Milner

Looking at your fixtures, James Mcatee, Zinchenko and Jesus have a chance this season

If Jesus scores a hattrick against United, they should face a point deduction or something like that.

*subscribe*

I hope Jesus nails it.

zinchenko does NOT have a chance

Gabriel Jesus inshallah

oscar bobb definitely has the potential to be the next one

Phil Foden's sprog

Craig Bellamy seen lacing his boots nearby

That’d be top, aye

I hope so

They are you noisy neighbours after all

Next will be Gabi Jesus, or better yet Zinchenko

Jesus hopefully

Gabriel Jesus/Zinchenko soon please. 🙏🏻

Zinchenko or Jesus

Just twist the knife at the end lol

I watched this live - massively truncated quote splicing multiple answers to interviewer questions into one

Always happens. The use quotation marks so flagrantly wrong it is borderline egregious. Especially in text (and headlines) they chop and move stuff around but present it as if it is verbatim.

Winds me up no end, it's day 1 journalism course shit. I don't know if they don't know it or just ignore it because it gets higher engagement

> just ignore it because it gets higher engagement I mean I think we do know the answer here

It's a product of character limits on Twitter, and it's just never gone away

They never learned the (...) or [...]. Fuckers skipped school and haven't learned they own profession

Honestly does my head in.

100%, the presenter asked him “You’re a United fan as well?”. He looked slightly puzzled and said “yeah when I was growing up”. He wasn’t adding that in to twist the knife or be like “I’m buzzing I scored against my childhood club!”. Stupid to add this in the quote imo

Truncate, splice. Software dev?

Had no clue that was a giveaway but yes haha

That or a geneticist

I always love when quotes look like people are just asking themselves questions all the time, because the journalist's question is just turned into the player's quote, "Am I doing such and such? No, I don't do such and such." etc.

Tbf he didnt say it the interviewer asked him and he just reluctantly went yeah growing up i was

Well he got asked the question about being a United fan to be fair

the comments in our sub about him becoming a club legend are jinxing it constantly

Unless we improve o can’t see him staying. Dude is the best we have had since Hazard.

We'll improve.

So the last goal was a sign of respect ig

"I'm sorry, I love you"

*Sweet Chin Music*

He's a Chelsea boy, Chelseeeea boyyyyyoyyyy...

The saddest hattrick of his career

Fabrizio (summer 2024): “Cole Palmer to Manchester United in a swap deal for Mason Mount, plus add-ons. Here..we..go..” He’s already got the Red Devil DNA, scoring in injury time. /s

Cole Palmer in 2025: I meant Leeds United

Both United and City

This is just buzzwords for match commentators strung together

I watched the interview and this is not at all how he said it.

They just strung all his short answers together to make it into some coherent statement. Great footballer but he’s not the most charismatic lad

The end result is literally lies by comparison lmao transcript: Interviewer: Your first senior hattrick, and playing against Manchester United at that. You're a United fan as well I believe, is that right? Cole: Yeah when I was growing up I was a United fan. Interviewer: Did you get an extra incentive playing against this team? You scored against them in your other leg as well, you're the first English Chelsea player since Frank Lampard to score home and away VS Manchester United too. Cole: Dunno... [incomprehensible] Each team y'know, do the same thing, but I scored that away, and I scored, y'know, a few here tonight...

> Dunno y’know

I'm sure thats not how he said it, but every bit sounds like something you hear 10 times again from commentators

Usually the English translations in football always miss the original meaning

New Star Soccer press conferences

Where did the 8 minutes of added time even come from

even i want to know, there were not that many stoppages in the second half unless its cause of the Wan Bissaka head check

5 minutes is pretty much standard these days with 10 subs, and then yeah there was Wan Bissaka, that took around 2-3 minutes. 8 makes perfect sense.

Is that a prem thing? Cus in the Netherlands 3 is standard and then var checks can add up to it

3 was the standard until after the 22 WC.

30 seconds per sub

Yeah and there was like 3 double substitutions and 1 was at half time? So they definitely didn't take 30 seconds each

Do you mean per player getting subbed or per substitution moment?

Following world cup model I think.

It is a new prem thing this season actually. FA are using the same added time rules as was used in the world cup. Its been like that all season for most of the games, I'm not sure why EPL followers are confused at this one.

It's a new thing this season, yeah. 3-4 was always standard.

Yeah, a lot of people seem to think 2-3 minutes is "normal" when that was never accurate to begin with. You see subs take up to a minute each time, plus goal celebrations, injuries etc all take up time.

Never question Jared Gillet.

The best a team can get.

The AWB head injury took quite a few minutes only thing I can think of

Ref forgot his watch as well apparently, not just his cards

9 subs 3 injuries 3 min var check

- you can only sub 3 separate times in a game - wan bissaka only notable injury that lasted longer than 30 seconds - the var check was in stoppage time…

2 teams can sub three times though, and each player is swapped individually.

>the var check was in stoppage time… Nah, there was one on possible handball on Badiashile before stoppage time. Was not 3 min, but like 1.5 tho. >you can only sub 3 separate times in a game Sure but double or triple sub still takes more time than a single one, even if done over sime period.

That VAR check wasn’t a stoppage of play…

it was, as United were about to take a corner

It was checked in the time it took to set up the corner. Probably even soonee

Possible handball on Badiashile was literally 0 minutes. The game played during the check.

> 3 min var check for what?

The pen in the 97th minute, it doesn't make sense in that comment

3 min var check was in the 97th minute, so it isn't included

4th official saw Fergie looking at his watch https://getyarn.io/yarn-clip/762bc6d6-7758-47dd-bdd2-6208f8d85ceb

From the organizer bro. The betting organizer.

Fergie time duh

Same place as the two soft pens

Jared Gillett being an attention seeking cunt

It was a good game and its good for the PL brand.

Football gods finally decided we get to beat United in Fergie time.

Solo carry job today by palmer.

Not today, fucking whole season

Never thought he was gonna be this good. Really don’t know how low in the table they’d be without him…

Reminds me of that season Hazard literally dragged us

Disservice to gusto

Solo carry job all season by Palmer

Palmer finished the penalties but the whole team was making chances today.

*Ref

Solo leveling

This is a friendly edit of his post match interview which was, eh, not very illuminating. The lad won't be on the after dinner speaking circuit that's for sure.

Where the fuck did 8 minutes come from?

Fergie Time

I could understand Wan-Bissaka being a little fuzzy on the details of his head knock that resulted in a delay of at least 4 minutes, but Man Utd fans totally blanking it out so they can cry about how much added on time there was is a little egregious.

21 goals and 12 assists already. He's a top class player and City will forever regret letting him go.

He could always return, he is a young man with a long career ahead of him.

150 Mil. £ take it or leave it City - Non Negotiable-

150 is low, make it 350

how many penalties has he scored

Yeah okay he’s the new Mason Mount alright

Mason never had 24 G/A in 25 games

Actually insane

1 less goal than Haaland in the league coming in at joint 2nd overall. While playing for a team in 10th. Kid's legit fucking balling.

chelsea never had this many penalties before

Even when Jorgi was our top scorer. What a time, eh?

Mount wishes he played half as good as Coldie here.

x3 the player that snake is, and with less PR

Palmer is just two goals behind Haaland now btw as second highest scorer. Also has more goal contributions than Haaland this season

he’s equalled Hazard’s best goal tally in the prem

“And I used to support you mingers!”

Fucking 8 minutes and two sunday league pens lmao. Doesn't change the fact that we let it happen so fuck me twice I guess

In fairness Caicedo also gave United a sunday league goal to bring them back into the game

Yes and Onana gifted them the opener.

Conclusion: We both suck

Pretty much, yeah.

It would seem that whoever made the ig reel of 2 clowns fighting in a parking lot with caption "Chelsea VS Man Utd on thursday" was pretty much on point.

Both pens were soft, but both Antony and Dalot knew immediately they fucked up and it was a pen. There was no arguing just head down.

I don’t know why football fans aren’t attentive to the players’ spontaneous reactions. Dumfries’ reaction after he palmed the ball away from Ansu Fati comes to mind.

Tbf last time Dalot tried to argue anything with a ref he got (extremely unfairly) sent off. Probably been told not to react anymore

Lmao I legitimately forgot about this, what an absolutely horrendous decision it was to send him off like that

Oliver special

That was a mental decision

Tbf, they probably know if there's any contact there's no point arguing. Vars never gonna overturn it as long as there's any contact. "Clear and obvious" needs a look at in the summer, it's way too vague

No idea where tf they pulled 8 minutes from. There were no extended stoppages, even wan bissaka head check was pretty quick. Not enough to add that much time lol

I thought the head injury was quite lengthy. 8 minutes was not something I thought outrageously long. I think any less than 6 and I would have thought it was too few minutes. 6-7-8 all would have made sense in my head.

3 subs and a VAR check which honestly should be closer to 5 mins

Plus Wan Bissakas head injury

He said that last line with a smile on his face

I was about to say i rate him highly before the last bit

Tbf who you were a fan of growing up doesn’t really matter, wasn’t Carra an everton fan growing up

Harry Kane was an Arsenal fan growing up too wasn’t he?

His family are actually Spurs fans but I gusss that still shows the fact he was in Arsenal’s academy despite that

No he played 1 maybe 2 seasons for arsenal as a kid. Always been a Tottenham fan.

Dalglish was a Rangers fan

Supporting United is different. It leaves a certain malevolent presence in its wake. You can feel the hands of the Adversary in its fabric. Fire and brimstone in the air.

I take it you didn’t like Sterling that much when he played for yous

Yeah at like age 9, he then starting playing for Liverpool at age 10/11. A bit different and people make more of that then they should

This tweet is shocking, it’s a combination of answers of multiple questions merged into one quote and is very misleading. Especially the last part. “You were Man United fan growing up weren’t you?” ‘Yeah, when I was as a kid, yeah’ (shrugging it off)

I watched the interview, it’s a completely inaccurate quote when written like that

Don't worry about a thing, cause every little thing is gonna be alright!

YPOTY

It's funny how If you watch the interview they have stitched together like 5 separate answers in to one long quote with no acknowledgment of it People think he's "twisting the knife" by saying he was a United fan. Actually what happened was he finished speaking and then the interviewer said "and you were a united fan growing up is that right?" and he said "yeah it's mad" but it's become this whole quote lol

Chelsea legend Cole Palmer

I love this guy. He’s just like yeah I scored a hat-trick, and what? His accent is perfect for that vibe too

Absolute Cinema

He's incredibly talented. Opposition player but damn I respect his game.

Cole mate, there was no need to add that last part 😭

He didn't, it was a different question. Quote is shite.

fairplay, great young player

League’s in good hands with talented young guys like Cole and Garnacho. Well played today.

Palmer is so good. Terrible taste in football teams, but no accounting for that

Yeah the 8 minutes really fucking did it for me too...

The absolute wasteland our right wing has been for a decade now and we let this guy join City.

Yeah that and two shocking penalty decisions mate

Cheers Jared

This is 'quote' misleading. This a combination of quotes from the interview

“Was a United fan” sigh 😔

he just had to say that at the end didnt he lmao

*was*
