Has there been any real reports as to WHERE FL wants to play Rice? Last interview I read with Rice he said he liked playing DM cause he felt more control of the team.But I still dont believe those reports saying FL wants to keep the wee baldy man. But at same time we need better as CB. So my heads confused.

Well as I think I managed to watch 4 games last season (and gotta admit Im glad I missed alot of our sad home game defeats especially) You dont know how excited I am with this window. I remember it was electric up in MH when Cescy and Diego came. We all felt something good was going to happen. Well I got that same feeling/ I honestly NEVER thought we stood a cat in hells chance at Werner - let alome Havertz!! OK Id have loved Telles instead of Chilwell and would give my left dangley for KK next to Thiago (Id have even played Sarr than most current options) and Rice as CDM but Im not greedy. Lets just hope they all gel well. Cant wait to see them all on together. Going to be a interesting season!

Well it was bloody worth me posting this!!! Hope yours was better than mine! Lets see how the rest of 2020 goes! I know Im gonna try hard to make mine good. Love and Peace guys!

Really dislike all social media sites.

Doesn't give Dave too much to do then eh. i totally agree about picking the cunt in the first place. Thats 1 of the 3 things that pisses me off about Sarri. But Alonso doesn't have even the basics down right now. How often does he get a cross past the 1st closest to him? How often does he take it to the baseline? @MoroccanBlue is dead right what he says. The system of Sarris CAN work and has but this bunch of gutless wet farts lack both the character and the abilities needed to play it.

Hes got a bunch of players noit suited to 'his style' of football. We talk about the Spuds freeze but our lads dont have any fight in them. It only affects me when I lose the plot at us. So I try really hard not to bitch and whine like many on here, even tho they have every valid reason to do it. But our players make it fuckin hard sometime to keep carefree! If they can't give a fuck if they play like wankers and make us look pathetic why the hell should I not call them what they are? Theree's only 7 I would keep out of them all - and 2 of them will be gone. .I just hope that whoever owns us come the summer of 2020 that they realize the shite we are in and they do something drastic and rebuild us from the top down.

Bit bloody hard seeing that his job is a defender mate!! This has happened to our last 2 managers also. Were they weak? It is a reourring thing with this group of players - a lot who were chosen by our previous 2 managers. The players play shit with no soul,fight or spirit but the manager takes it up the arse1

Blimey I see a ghost!

He would fit in well mate. Old time variety hall comedia/actorn even before my time! Cant find owt of him 'acting' I agree mate. I've never met anyone who was self made that didn't bend as many rules as they could to breaking point. but maybe that says more about commercialism than peeps morals. I thank Roman for what we have done together and would like to see him become more involved and back in the stands. But it might just be time to start fresh with EVERYTHING. From the top down. I'd like to see us goto someone who is already a large sports club owner with the experience of taking a broken club apart and rebuild them WHOEVER that may be! Billionaire Abramovich dumps Russian assets in preparation for sanctions The billionaire Roman Abramovich, who was blacklisted by the US in April last year, had his British visa revoked and was forced to acquire an Israeli passport in the summer, has systematically been selling off his Russian assets. On 7 March, Abramovich, the 11th wealthiest person in Russia with $10.8 billion, sold the Russian bank VTB his 20% share in Channel One that he had owned since the early 2000s, after acquiring a package of shares from Boris Berezovsky. One week later, on 13 March, Abramovich’s Crispian Investments fund disposed of 2.7 million shares of Nornickel – 1.7% of the company’s capital. The deal was done through an accelerated collection of bids, and the securities were dumped on the market at a 7.5% discount to the market price. Another five days later, on Monday 18 March, it was learned that Abramovich had decided to sell 0.8% of his primary asset – the metallurgical and mining company Evraz. Abramovich’s offshore fund Greenleas International Holdings Ltd., Alexander Abramov’s Abiglaze Ltd., Alexander Frolov’s Crosland Global Ltd. and Toshi Holdings Ltd. announced on the London Stock Exchange website that they intend to sell 25.4 million Evraz shares (1.8%). Abramovich’s company will account for 42.25% of the shares being sold. As with Nornickel, the deal will take place through an accelerated collection of bids. The placement will be organized by Citigroup Global Markets Ltd., Credit Suisse Securities and UBS Europe. The sellers must undertake not to sell any more Evraz shares for 60 days after the deal. At present, Abramovich holds 30.5% of Evraz shares, Abramovich holds 20.69% and Frolov has 10.33%. It is possible that the billionaire is preparing for US sanctions by getting rid of assets linked to the Kremlin (e.g. Channel One). Abramovich may also be trying to withdraw from his position as a major stakeholder in Evraz, an analyst from a major rating agency believes. However, it is not impossible that the oligarch has simply decided to cash out on shares while Evraz’s results are good and there is a large demand for its stocks, he notes. On the other hand, the three consecutive deals to sell Russian assets do not make this option likely. The hard cash at Abramovich’s disposal is needed by the Kremlin. RBC reported in December that the president’s administration has considered the billionaire and Evraz as a source of funding for the construction of the Moscow-Kazan high-speed railway. His funds will be used to fill in the financing gap for the railway project, which has been rejected by Chinese investors twice in the last three years. Russian Railways estimates that the project will cost 1.7 trillion rubles. The government is prepared to provide 700 billion from the federal budget, but around 1 trillion rubles ($15 billion) will need to come from other financing sources.

How we going to do that bud? Even if he was £1m and IF our amazing board said yeah great idea! theres a small matter of a ban to get round.

Welcome to TalkChelsea. Always good to have more opinions. You dont sound American tho Mrs! I admire Pulisic cause even tho he must see our players have no spirit he still joined us!

I'll keep trying with it.

How you getting on with Brave otherwise? I asked around on the torrent site I use and i cant find anyone else using it. I had problems logging on to some sites that use Captcha when in the private window using Tor feature. So I kept to Opera as its VPN is very good.

Love you Mrs!! Proper attitude to be in. This might be the making of either Barkles or RLC. They really need to start out on fire. Running and chasing everything. And Sarri was dead right in his interview yesterday when he said our forwards need to start looking for spaces off the ball. They are bad at that.

What browsers are you using guys? I've still had no probs with Firefox.

Many teams would love to be in it. We have become spoiled. A spell in the Championship might do us more good.

Excellent vid. That Ossie salute would get him a 6 match ban now. How things have changed eh. Loved the commentator Me gran was close with Neil Youngs folks so my grandad would go to Shitty games now n then. But only for the piss ups. He was more into rugby being a Taff. Its weird how many don't seem to hold it against Lamps for wearing that disgusting blue shirt or slag Petr off for going native but yet we slag Greavsie off. A hard choice as there was summet to argue for them all but had to go with the flow. The lads a proper Chels legend. I remember the cameras on him when he came out in a wheelchair 4 or 5 seasons back and he was crying when we were singing his name bless him.

lá fhéile Pádraig sona dhaoibh! Happy Paddys Day! Shall be out having some of the black stuff and watch the game in the pub! Sláinte

I'm not saying that he has made me go WOW yet but we have to think he MIGHT just be our main forward next season!

Love that sort of passion.

It wont even make them stutter mate with what they've got on the bench. We should be so lucky. I don't understand why we are still being 'linked' to players with the ban on.

I feel like you mate. It is a shame that he was hyped far too much when he was far too young and never quite lived up to the promises. He always seemed gangly and awkward to me tho he had moments of high skill. Hes got all the makings of a very good player. Having the skills and speed of a big lad is a rare mixture. But I do find myself warming up to him. And I would be happy for him to be the starter for us in that 3rd MF spot. Having 4 of our academy in the 1st team and all with the ability to become long term players. With AC,RLC and CHO all on their way to make a name for themselves we need Ampadu to get more time now. They must be a great inspiration for the academy lads. lets see if any more come back next season with the ban on.

It's a tough one innit eh! Needs to be pondered on.

It wouldn't really hurt them much neither tho.

we all knew exactly what we were getting and what to expect long before Sarri came. NOTHING he has done up to now should come as any surprise to any of us. I'm still up for backing him 100% but with no transfer windows and the lack of support from the board in the winter I can't see it happening any time soon. I still blame our players to a large extent for the shite we are in. Not only are they not right for this type of football but our attitude,commitment,attitude,urgency is piss poor for many many games. I'm not saying that Ive agreed with all that Sarris done cause Ive shouted ny fool head off at some of his decisions in team selections/subs. But Ive decided that me bitching and whining only effects my moods and doesn't make a bit of fuckin difference even if the board did give a shit what we thought. So I'm just going to TRY to SUPPORT us even if next season we will be full of loanees amd 30+'s Perhaps the board is just SHITE in general. They are fuckin useless at supporting managers of late. If they had backed Conte we wouldn't have been moaning about Sarri. And if they had backed Sarri we wouldn't be moaning about our next manager to go thru the revolving managers doors
