Pizy

That random defender I'd never heard of from the Championship or League One or who the fuck knows. Someone we'll never see in a Chelsea shirt.

Just looking at recent happenings at our club and City's is comical and hugely depressing. Chelsea: Sold Cech to direct and hated rival who are currently title favorites. Sign Falcao, Djilobodji, Hector, Pato, and a backup keeper. Sack our greatest ever manager against the supporters' wishes and put him in prime position to sign for another direct rival. Hand one of the seasons worst performers a contract extension whilst not offering the club legend and captain one. City meanwhile have signed De Bruyne for £55m (another genius move from us letting him go) they've signed Sterling for £50m, they've expanded their stadium knowing it'll bring in more money so they can pump it back into the club, and they've appointed arguably the world's best manager that should set them up as the team to beat for the next 3 years. They showed more ambition after missing out on the title than we did after winning it. Incredible. We have to just pray that our board and owner have a rock solid plan in place for our beloved club. They'll look like absolute idiots if they don't.

Yep. Think he's nailed on to replace Yaya. Can also see him luring a Bayern player or two. They'll need all new fullbacks and I'm sure he'd want Alaba to follow him. If you told me on the day we lifted the trophy last season that Mourinho, Pep, and Klopp would all be managing in the PL I'd be over the moon and excited about that prospect knowing we have one of them. Now all of them plus Wenger and Pochettino are competitors. We have gone from having the best manager in the league, the best squad, and the brightest outlook for the future to not even having one of the top 4-5 managers. Now we're in need of a significant squad overhaul and a new manager just to get us competitive again. I fear that unless we get Simeone or manage to steal Poch from Spuds we'll be nowhere near the top of the table for a while. Hope everyone making decisions in the club are happy now.

Nightmare for the rest of the PL. He'll surely have total authority to build a squad and will have unlimited money to do so. I wonder which world class players they'll sign this summer...

New manager playing a totally different style is the only thing that makes sense. The board must think that there's no way JT will suit this new football.

This is what I think happen. This will serve as a slap to the backs of the heads of the people making decisions.

They're seriously fucking winding us up with awarding Ivanovic a new contract after the abysmal and embarrassing season he's had and letting our greatest legend (in my opinion) go. Only way I could stomach this is if the new manager is Pep fucking Guardiola. At least then it would make sense because he wouldn't at all fit his playing style. Since that's clearly not happening this decision is terrible.

Our club is the most out of touch with its fan base I can think of. It's unreal. Decision after decision lately they've gone completely against the huge vocal majority of supporters' wishes. John is easily still good enough and important enough to keep as a squad player for at least one more season, maybe two. I think the uproar now that it's public will force the board to rethink. Fucking idiots.

Feels like it should be the 85th minute not the 65th...

EDEN YOU BEUATIFUL MOTHERFUCKER!

I'd wait for another goal to go up 3 before ringing in the changes. You just never know with our defense these days. Couple of flukey goals like their first half one and its nervy.

LOL! Its like Oscar is in a carnival shooting gallery.

If Baba can sort his defensive discipline out he should be steadily phased into the team. Very nice combinations and movement when he's attacking.

JESUS CHRIST! This looks like cartoon stuff! We should have about 6 goals by now. Abysmal finishing. This is like a training ground excercise and we can't put away any chances!

Keeper having the absolute match of his life against Chelsea. Seen this before...

Our entire defense is just standing there not pressuring the ball each time they have it. Shocking defending as usual.

There we go, Oscar! Finally.

Oscars finishing!!! Goodness me!

Nice team! Absolutely no excuse not to win this.

I guess if he still has great pace.

Just wanna know where the heck he gets deployed. Won't be on either wing since Hazard and Willian are there. Fabregas has been playing well as our #10. Since Ramires left I'd assume that RLC will get more minutes in midfield rather than moving Cesc back there. Whose spot is Pato competing for?

Lot of good that's done us recently.

Therein lies the problem. Rather than buying the real deal we instead go cheap.

Another Emenalo signing I would think just like Djilobodji. It's like he's trying to prove that he's so smart by signing unknown players in hopes that he later looks like a genius if they work out.

Many said the same about Falcao.
