  1. Past hour
  2. It’s ALWAYS these schoolboy self inflicted errors. ALWAYS.
  3. Fofana started it off by turning it over in a dangerous situation
  4. They’ve still got several really good players here but if we can’t beat them with the injuries they have then we aren’t a serious team.
  5. Yes, in big games it's basically Palmer for Enzo. Like that.
  6. Probably a good thing that Enzo is not starting this one as this game will likely be super physical in midfield and he has looked burnt out lately.
  7. Today
  8. I don't think it is similar to going for Moyes who was never at a set up like United's before and didn't set up his team anywhere close to how Fergie did. With Maresca there's a lot of similarity to City's shape + Maresca has had experience at a big club now. Would not find the switch a huge jump up like Moyes did.
  9. NEW: Sources confirm Chelsea star now set to leave, trio of Premier League clubs on alert EXCLUSIVE - this saga is nearing its conclusion... https://thedailybriefing.io/p/nicolas-jackson-transfer-update Chelsea will have a big decision to make on one of their forgotten players, following a loan move this season which hasn’t worked out. Speaking to well-connected sources close to the agents industry, I’m told that Nicolas Jackson is not in Bayern Munich’s long-term plans after a lack of impact at the Allianz Arena this season. Bayern took Jackson on loan from Chelsea, but now seem to have decided against signing him permanently, meaning the Blues misfit will have to head back to Stamford Bridge, albeit probably not for very long. Nicolas Jackson attracting transfer interest as Bayern stay in doubt Jackson’s time at Chelsea has also surely come to an end, and it looks like the club have already done their work replacing him by bringing in Liam Delap and Joao Pedro this summer, while Emanuel Emegha is already set to join next term. This will be an opportunity for Chelsea to make a sale, and my sources suggest there’ll be plenty of options for them to offload the Senegal international. “Jackson is highly unlikely to stay at Bayern,” one source said. “His loan deal included a 65 million euro mandatory buy option, but it was tied to specific performance milestones which are now almost certainly not going to be met.” Another told me: “In the Premier League, Aston Villa, Newcastle United, and Everton are closely monitoring Jackson’s situation. Atletico Madrid and Napoli could be two other options to watch out for, and Chelsea will certainly be looking for a buyer.” (Photo by Adam Pretty/Getty Images) What went wrong for Nicolas Jackson at Chelsea and Bayern? Jackson looked like an exciting talent when he first joined Chelsea from Villarreal in the summer of 2023, but he hasn’t developed as many would’ve hoped. Now 24 years of age, Jackson is no longer a youngster, so will need to start performing more consistently if he is to make it at a truly top-level club. Jackson scored 17 goals in his first season at Chelsea, followed by 13 in his second campaign, but he has just five goals in 18 games so far for Bayern. An injury to Delap at the start of this season led to Chelsea quickly trying to cancel Jackson’s loan to Bayern, but the player pushed for the move to still go through, and in the end he got his wish and Marc Guiu was recalled from his loan at Sunderland instead. It’s now anticipated that Jackson will be open to leaving Chelsea for a new challenge next summer. my add Those stats quoted above for this season are misleading, as he has 5 goals and 1 assist in only 542 minutes of play that is a really good rate of return per minute we would kill to have one of our CFs score at that rate That works out to a rate of 30 goals and 6 assists in 3,252 minutes plus he scored 2 more goals for Senegal in 104 total minutes of play (versus Brasil and Kenya) compare that to Isak 2 goals, 1 assist for Pool in 766 minutes and no goals, no assists for Sweden this season in 226 minutes
  10. IF we sell Josh I am going to lose my fucking mind. My biggest issue with Maresca is his continuously not picking him as one of our two starting CBs, especially with the player picked over him is either either Badi or ESPECIALLY TOSIN, ffs. Acheampong is still only 19yo and has MASSIVE upside, potentially (from what I can see) world class potential. IF Colwill (and we had ALL best hope that he does) fully recovers from his knee injury, then I can see Levi and Josh as a superb CB pair for ages. They are the ONLY two CBs we have atm who you can say that about NOW, even on a potential basis, unless Aarón Anselmino or new boy Amadou Sarr explodes. Trevoh is what Trevoh is, a solid squad CB, but will never be WC (and he turns 27yo this summer, so he doesnt have years and years to get there). Same for Fofana, who is very likely never again going to reach the near WC heights he was moving towards before he destroyed his leg with Leicester. Disasi is shit and is soon gone (knock on wood). Tosin is even worse than Disasi IMHO (somehow he has gotten there, ffs) and needs to GO. Badi, well he is above the last two, but is still not at all good enough. Unfortunately, unless we buy a great left footed CB (ie the pipe dreams Bastoni or Murillo, or Buongiorno, or stepping down a wee bit, the crazy expensive Branthwaite, the super hard pull Schlotterbeck, or the semi dice-rolls Lukeba, Inácio or the oft-injured Botman), we are going to be stuck with him for likely a year more (especially as our only other lefty CB is the long-term injured Colwill). Honest Ahanor looks to be a superb young (turns 18yo in February) CB, BUT he is just that: a super young player with bags of potential but not a 'plug him in and he is lock to be a 45 game starter for Chels' type (for now), plus, like Lukeba, he is on the small side (both are 1.84m, although Ahanor could, in theory still grow a bit).
  11. Israel's interests are NOT the same as the US's, in fact they are often at loggerheads. Also, Israel is FAR from a good-faith ally of the US at most levels. For instance, they are one of the biggest industrial espianage spying nation against the US on the planet. Israel only aligns with the US when the alignment is vastly in their favour. They often drag the US into positions that undercut the interests of the US. They also are deeply embedded in influencing American politics, often in very detrimental ways. A perfect example is AIPAC, which is majority funded overall by RW billionaires, and thus AIPAC (when they are not literally endorsing and helping fund dozens upon dozens of insurrectionist Republican House and Senate members) often goes into Demcoratic primaries and tries to crush progressive Dem candidates in favour of centrist and conservative Dems who will vote to not interfere with the RW billionaires' agendas, at levels FAR less than the progressive would have. It is a 2-for-1. AIPAC strives to keep the insane cash flow (and also US military backstopping of an 'as expansionist as possible' zionist project) to Israel going, to crush most, if not all dissent to that, PLUS they get to help wipe out a lot of opposition inside the Demacratic Party to AIPAC RW billionaire funders' wants and desires on socio-economic levels.
  12. He was also part of the City setup (b team and academy) but it would be a huge call to go from Pep to Enzo. Enzo would be like United getting Moyes after the Ferguson era finished.
  13. Yesterday
  14. Tbf, his own quotes from that are now coming out from the embargoed section of the press conference don’t exactly turn the temperature down. It’s like he’s trying to talk himself into trouble with the board.
  15. 🔴These briefs against Maresca tonight are WILD!!!
  16. Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca has made it clear he is paying no heed to speculation linking him with the Manchester City hot seat When pressed further on whether he could promise he will remain at Stamford Bridge when next season kicks off, he responded: "Absolutely, yes. I have a contract until 2029. It's speculation, 100%. I don't have nothing to add. I don't pay attention." Maresca lifted the UEFA Conference League and the Club World Cup whilst securing a top-four finish in his debut campaign with the Blues. However, he maintains there's far more to accomplish in west London under his leadership.
  17. Jeffrey Sachs is one of the most respected academics in the World
  18. Manchester City and Bayern Munich have registered an interest in Josh Acheampong, Despite Chelsea not planning or wishing to sanction an exit. (@JacobsBen) Levante are assessing a potential loan move for Dario Essugo. (@JacobsBen)
  19. You just love to watch conspiracy channels. There's a lot of them out there, even for Christians as well, which I'm not a big fan of.
  20. Netanyahu (real name Milakowsky) every Israeli PM has changed their name to sound Middle Eastern) has bragged about controlling the US
  21. And why? Because of USA has a lot of Christians and the leader....well not much presidents but the people who make up the govermenet are heavy christian. If in the future USA turns highly Muslim then that will change.
