weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

He has a habit of scoring against them

how the fuck is that not a yellow? the fucker did not even call a foul!! VDV wiped out Moises

Citeh have to win or we are officially eliminated from the CL (6th place qualifies IF Villa finish 5th and win the EL final)

Great save by Sanchez

Close from them!

I feel we need something to help with the books, and EL would give us a viable route to CL football, if our up & down league form is anything to go by.

Getting European football probably hampers us even more in buying players might as well miss it altogether.

I couldn't care less about the potential ramifications for Spurs. We have a small chance of EL football, so let's try to fight for it.

Chelsea say Joao Pedro has a knock and Levi Colwill is missing due to load management. Malo Gusto is missing with a knock. (@kierangill_DM) Lavia is injured again—send him away immediately!!

Fuck. Delap starts. Plowhorse derby.

Delap starts.....ah ha aha ha

Well, I was pretty confident that we’d win this despite our shit form. But with Delap starting I don’t know where the goals are coming from.

About time Palmer proved form is temporary

BREAKING: Chelsea XI vs. Spurs: Sanchez, Acheampong, Fofana, Hato, Cucurella, Caicedo, Andrey Santos, Palmer, Fernandez, Neto, Delap

Disagree. We want to avoid playing Conference League and there's no better way to do it than not to win here.

Should have introduced to the crowd to get them even more up for it

Bit of an incentive -Xabi has hinted some players will be offloaded - so they're playing to impress tonight

We all know how big of a failure this lot have been this season but if they can't produce against this lot tonight and get up for it then there is no hope what so ever. It's time the gutless bastards put on a show and what better way and stage than tonight

Certainly Bowen is someone I'd very happily take if his contract was over and he was coming in on a free transfer: - Clinical finisher - Club captain and talisman, model pro - Plays in multiple positions effectively But for what West Ham will want (proper money) you'd imagine there will surely be better options.

I have a lot of respect for Bowen but he would be a no for me. When we say we want experienced, high quality players we mean in the 25 year old range not 30 like Bowen. He’s a player who depends entirely on his physical tools and doesn’t strike me as the type who will age well. And his game is also not really suited to a possession based short passing style. He’s a counter attacking player and essentially a slightly better Garnacho. Plus, with Estevão and Quenda on our right side I don’t know where he’d fit. Especially if we’re playing 1 match a week.

Cucu is 28 this summer. Full backs especially drop level significantly at certain age. I don't mind selling him now. His price will be three times lower in 2 years.

Chelsea could demand compensation if Enzo Maresca replaces Pep Guardiola Club may launch legal claim if Italian, who left Stamford Bridge in acrimonious circumstances in January, takes over at Manchester City https://www.thetimes.com/sport/football/article/Chelsea-demand-compensation-enzo-maresca-pep-guardiola-z0rkgw02x Manchester City could be the subject of a legal claim from Chelsea if, as expected, they appoint Enzo Maresca as a replacement for Pep Guardiola. While City remain publicly silent on Guardiola’s future, with the manager unlikely to respond to the latest media reports in the press conferences he is scheduled to give this week, Sunday will be his last game after a decade in charge. It is anticipated a formal announcement of his departure will come before a parade to celebrate the success City have enjoyed this season on Monday. Chelsea will be watching the situation closely, and could well demand compensation if City respond to Guardiola’s exit by securing the services of a manager who left Stamford Bridge in acrimonious circumstances in January. Earlier this season the 46-year-old Italian held a meeting with City via intermediaries and initially used it in an attempt to activate new contract discussions with Chelsea when he was still their head coach. Chelsea and City have always declined to comment publicly on what happened, but at a conference in Los Angeles last month, Chelsea co-owner Behdad Eghbali was asked about Maresca’s departure. Eghbali, left, pictured with the chairman Todd Boehly, said the departure of Maresca at Chelsea was “not a change we wanted to make” Clive Rose/Getty Images “The change wasn’t the club’s decision,” he said. “For reasons I can’t speak about legally. I think the reasons will become kind of clear in due course. But no, it’s not a change we wanted to make. It’s a change that’s had a bit of a negative impact on the season, when you’re changing systems and personnel. And it’s one we’ve got to fight our way out of.” If City choose to dismiss any such claim, Chelsea would have to submit a formal complaint to the Premier League, triggering an investigation. Maresca left Chelsea on January 2 after he failed to honour his post-match media duties in the wake of a disappointing draw with Bournemouth. By then his team were on a run of just one win in seven Premier League games, with his position considered to be untenable after aiming what was seen as a direct attack on the club ownership following a defeat of Everton on December 13. Maresca complained that he had experienced “the worst 48 hours” of his career, hinting at clashes with the Stamford Bridge hierarchy. Maresca, right, worked under Guardiola as his assistant at City Jason Cairnduff/reuters Chelsea then turned to Liam Rosenior, and now reflect on that managerial change as an episode that seriously undermined their season. The club had been in second place before a run of poor results that preceded Maresca’s departure. Clearly, Maresca is still held in high regard by City. Before enjoying a successful spell at Leicester City, Maresca was City’s Under-23 coach and then first-team assistant to Guardiola during the 2022-23 season. After guiding Leicester to the Championship he led Chelsea to Conference League glory and victory at the new-look Club World Cup.
