chippy

If the players do not make a stand against this then i'll have no sympathy whatsoever for any of them! Everyone is saying the power is in the hands of the owners, but it simply couldn't be further from the truth. On top of the massive fan power, If the likes of Messi, Ronaldo, Neymar. Mbappe, Klopp, Pep et al, took the lead and said they will have nothing to do with it, the whole thing would collapse overnight like a house of cards.

He's a busted flush as far as being a big club manager in England. Could see clubs like a Newcastle or Villa wanting him but I highly doubt he'd be willing to join clubs of that level. His best days are clearly over so TV work is where his future in the game is now.

Was hoping he stayed, because they were going nowhere with that dinosaur in charge. With a progressive manager and a couple of good defenders they could be a threat next season.

Load of bluster we've seen numerous times before which will just end with tweeks to the CL format and money to clubs.

Such a great shame to get that injury right at the time he was really starting to blossom as a player. Seems to have lost muscle and doesn't physically the same person anymore and a shadow of the player he was just before that injury. Sadly, looks so far from good enough for us now that we have no choice but to move him on.

Re Chilwell. Think he's been average at best for much of the season, but i have to say I was impressed with him yesterday. Apart from that sitter he missed which was a bit eek!!!

I've been watching football a long time and that goal at Barca is right up there with the most exciting, memorable moments I've ever experienced watching any sport, nevermind football and Chelsea. Let's not forget he also played a good part in winning the EL as well. While not a big success, those two significant contributions to two major trophies should not be overlooked.

Nonsense to say our fans have underrated Azpi. I've never seen anyone say he's been anything less than a top player for us and one of the best value for money signings we've ever made. Some fans saying his legs have gone is not the same thing at all as underrating him.

Another big thing has changed, and that's our defending against set pieces. When they got a corner in the last minute, I was no longer automatically thinking goal to the opposition.

Very well deserved win by our lads!!! Think this defeat will pump City up for their final against Spuds and end Jose's time there.

So unlucky Puli.

City been the best team for last 20 mins, but we've been the better team today and deserve to win

No way a pen!

This pitch looks to be playing a bit slow.

Rather have put CHO on and saved Puli for midweek.

65 mins in and Kepa has barely had a thing to do.

That's true, but Willian was the better all-round team player.

Vesper posts some. Think they'll be on page 3 or 4 in this thread

Nice to see Werner keep his cool there.

Attracting new fans is crucial to the growth of a club, both here and worldwide. Being known as a dull, boring tram to watch will not help us in any way. Furthermore, grinding put results in today's era will not win you the league in England. Going forward, we've got to find way more flair and creativity than we have at the moment.

Been the case in most games for most of the season, no matter which combination of players we use. Lots of very dull games, so we must be a very hard watch for the neutral fans.

True!l All fans naturally moan when decisions go against their team, but this is fucking blatant bias!

I would like this absolute cunt of a Ref to simply watch the fouls on the Chelsea players which got no cards, then watch the one he gave James and then give an explanation. He'd splutter like a lying MP. Cf

Never mind a booking, ive seen players get sent off for fouls like that by Dinho.

Alonso would have buried that with his eyes closed.
