A fans’ vote is now open to decide which former player is chosen from a shortlist of John Hollins, Bobby Tambling, Roy Bentley, Jimmy Greaves and Charlie Cooke… Click here to vote On its own, the Shed Wall at the southern end of Stamford Bridge is an important piece of Chelsea history. It is a section of the stadium site which dates all the way back to when the famous football ground was opened back in 1905 and although no longer part of the large standing terrace for supporters it once was, it is nowadays an impressive boundary alongside a busy walking thoroughfare on both matchdays and non-matchdays. And in recent years the Shed Wall comes with added history! Along its length a collection of all-time greats in the Chelsea story are celebrated, with images, biographies, honours and quotes, and even QR codes which allow you to find out more. Not a day goes past without hundreds of people stopping to look or have their photos taken next to one of their favourites. Peter Bonetti, Petr Cech, Ashley Cole, Marcel Desailly, Kerry Dixon, Didier Drogba, Ron Harris, Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink, Branislav Ivanovic, Frank Lampard, Peter Osgood, John Terry, Gianluca Vialli, Ray Wilkins, Dennis Wise and Gianfranco Zola are the names already on there, and the good news is there is room for one more.

Fucking sucks that Victimpool drew Porto, grrrrr

ermm, Jovic and Haller 2 of the most talked about striker targets for us Ante Rebic, a great combo winger/AMF/2nd striker who was a star for Croatia in the world Cup (ask Caballero) Evan N'Dicka, a superb young 19yo CB who has exploded onto the scene (would LOVE to grab him whilst still somewhat affordable) etc etc to call them a not decent side is way overstating things any of the teams left, save Slavia, is more than capable of smashing us on a bad night or have you forgotten Bournemouth so soon?

The Football Nerd Fraser and Wilson can enter the record books By Alistair Tweedale When you think of great strike partnerships of the Premier League era, you think Cole and Yorke, Shearer and Sutton, Heskey and Owen, Phillips and Quinn. These are duos from a time when playing two up front was more common than it is these days, and who would combine time and again to devastating effect. More recently, the most effective attacking combinations have tended to be an attacking, creative midfielder along with a lone striker, where the service tends to flow in one direction. Think Ozil and Giroud, Alli and Kane, Fabregas and Costa, Silva and Aguero. This season, the south coast has thrown up an interesting new addition to the list. Unrelenting overachievers Bournemouth are challenging for a top-half, top-flight finish for only the second time in their history and, with a strong end to the season, may even go one better than their ninth-placed finish in 2016/17. They sit 12th, two points off ninth, in spite of a woeful defensive record - the fourth-worst in the entire top flight - and thanks to the quantity of goals they score. Their killer combination of Ryan Fraser and Callum Wilson has played a significant role in that. After Fraser and Wilson both scored goals set up by the other in the 2-0 win over Huddersfield last week, the duo have now combined for nine goals this season. That is two more than any other pair in 2018/19, with Sergio Aguero and Raheem Sterling in second place, and not far off the most effective partnerships ever seen in a single Premier League campaign. Only five partnerships have combined to produce 10 goals in a Premier League season, two of which came before the league was reduced to 38 games in 1995, while nobody has done so since Dennis Bergkamp and Nicolas Anelka in 1998/99. Fraser and Wilson are one goal off double figures with eight games to play. Fraser is second only to Eden Hazard for Premier League assists this season, with 10, but what is so impressive about his relationship with Wilson - considering Fraser plays out wide on the left - is that the assists flow both ways. Fraser has set up goals for Wilson on five occasions, while four assists have gone in the opposite direction. These probably aren’t two players that we would normally consider among the greatest to grace the Premier League, but their stats this season place them among an elite group. Newcastle may have to make specific plans to stop them at the Vitality Stadium on Saturday afternoon. no link, it was in an e-mail

Lolol NAILED IT last night Ffs Should have laid a wager

And that is not even to do with the giant corruption investigation of them and PSG. They may end up with a 4 window ban and at least 2 years of no Europe. Let's hope!

Roma target Drinkwater Roma are reportedly targeting a move for Danny Drinkwater in the summer. The Chelsea midfielder is all-but forgotten at Stamford Bridge, having joined in 2017 for £34m and failed to establish himself under Antonio Conte or Maurizio Sarri. And former Leicester and Fulham manager Claudio Ranieri has now taken over in Rome on a caretaker basis following the dismissal of Eusebio Di Francesco after the club’s Champions League exit against Porto. Ranieri has recommended Drinkwater as a possible signing for the Serie A side, according to Football Italia, after working with him in the famous title-winning Leicester City side.

My dream draw would be Chels v Slavia Prague (awesome away trip too, Prague rocks!) Arse v Napoli (no clue who wins this, but whoever did would obviously bee the last monster blocking our path, with the winner of RF v Benfica probably the next best team after us and the winner here)) Valencia v Villarreal (they would tear each other apart, maybe get some card suspensions, they hate each other, Villarreal may get relegated from La Liga this year, only 4 points above dead bottom of the table, they are desperate. Ridiculous that a team worth, in terms of players (on fair market liquidation value) around £300m or so is struggling so bad) Eintracht Frankfurt v Benfica (super entertaining too, so many great young players going head to head)

lol,in one of his 5 games he ever played for the first team

Inter is a hot mess atm crazy talent but horrid chemistry and drama

them, and then Villarreal are the two worst teams left by far

its over Sevilla out party in Prague tonight, lolol probably a couple hundred thousand plus litres of beer downed after this one

Slavia really look a fairly decent side

woooooot Slavia scored!!! probably taking out Sevilla!!!

Inter out is a big one gone

Alejandro Grimaldo (105') 3 1 Benfica they are going through

Slavia scored so 5 5 aggregate but they need a goal still or will go out on away goals
