This ref...can't tell what a real tackle is.

Yes superb through ball

What a ball from Caicedo

🗯🔵 Estevao has a hamstring issue. Due to be scanned. (@BobbyVincentFL)

Check this out. Nearly 10 minutes of glorious playmaking.
 

Phew. Sooner we move on, the better

🔥🔵🗯BREAKING: A verdict is nearing on Chelsea’s 74 Charges.
Mail Confidential has been assured that supporters can anticipate NON-SPORTING sanctions as an outcome.
That would mean a FINE rather than, say, a transfer ban or points deduction.

At least seeing a reaction from Rosenior.

Red journos with the 'I'm homesick' narrative. Quelle Bollox

Yeah, if nothing else Rosenior has shown he can get the expected results against the sides we are expected to beat. Long may it continue.
From a league perspective, that's the least we can ask for in order to secure top 4. That's the bar with this Clearlake side.

Hazard told Como coach Fabregas to return to Chelsea: ‘The time has come’
https://football-italia.net/hazard-told-fabregas-return-Chelsea-time-come/
Former Chelsea star Eden Hazard admits he told his former Chelsea teammate Cesc Fabregas that ‘the time has come’ for him to return to Stamford Bridge, while Ju
ventus striker Kenan Yildiz would suit Real Madrid.
Ex-Chelsea and Real Madrid star Hazard spent the last few days in Italy, where he presented the wines he produces under the label ‘Wine of the Champions’, a brand created by Italian entrepreneur Fabio Cordella.
During his interview with Gazzetta dello Sport, Hazard spoke about his former Chelsea teammate Fabregas, now the Como coach, revealing that he hopes to see the Spaniard in charge of the Blues soon.
Hazard: Fabregas ‘destined to become one of the best coaches’

“I’ll be honest, in the summer we talked a bit. I told him he was one of the best midfielders in history and that he’s destined to become one of the best coaches as well,” Hazard said.
“I explained to him that the time has come for him to return to Chelsea, and he joked about it, but I really believe it. He loves football and knows everything about this spot. I’m a Chelsea fan, and I want the best for the club. That’s why I dream of seeing Cesc on their bench, while I’ll be staying in the stands behind him, enjoying the show.”
Fabregas is in his second Serie A season at Como, and the Azzurri are flying in 2025-26, sitting sixth in the standings, just four points below a Champions League spot.
Juventus star Kenan Yildiz has also caught Hazard’s attention as the ex-winger believes the 20-year-old Turkey international is destined to play for Real Madrid one day.
“My children are crazy about Yildiz. They want lots of his videos and hope to see him in the Premier League,” he said.
“As for me, he seems more like a Real Madrid-type player.”

Win is a win

Palmer is the first player in EPL history with 3 first half hat tricks

Beautiful video and the best attacker I've seen at the club

Could probably still do a better job for us than some of the attackers we have up top tbh. If only he kept his general fitness up. Could've given it a go as a free agent squad player.
But, likely comfortable and relaxed doing what he does now.

Chelsea boss Liam Rosenior says Arsenal showed his side a lack of respect during the warm-up for the second leg of their Carabao Cup semi-final on Tuesday.
Rosenior was seen angrily shouting at those from the Gunners side to stay on their half of the pitch and not encroach on Chelsea's area as the teams prepared for the game at Emirates Stadium, with Arsenal winning 1-0 to secure a 4-2 aggregate victory.
"It wasn't the players," said Rosenior. "When you warm up, you have your half and the other team have their half.
"I've never asked my team or coaches to encroach on the opposition's territory. In that moment, I didn't think it was right where they were operating, they were affecting our warm up.
"I asked them, maybe not politely, to make sure they stay in their half. I'm not here to have mind games, it's just what I think is right and respectful. Hopefully, we respect that and other teams do too."
He added: "There are certain etiquettes in football.
"I don't have an issue with anyone at Arsenal Football Club. [Arsenal manager] Mikel [Arteta] is someone I've got so much respect for. It was just in that moment, I didn't think that respect was shown to my team."

Sterling, Mudryk, Madueke, Neto, Gittens, Sancho on loan, Angelo, Estevao
With the exception of Estevao (and Palmer if you want to include), not one winger signed by BlueCo has raised the level at the club. And hundreds of millions were spent. The owners are probably happy with the Madueke profit 

We know that winning the CL is more important than winning the Carabao Cup. That’s obvious. What I’m pointing out is that we should be trying to win the Carabao Cup regardless… we should be going for The League title not just accepting top 4. Especially after the money spent to assemble this farcical squad. We should be going for every single trophy available. There should be no compromise even spoken of, let alone actually acted upon which is what appears to be happening at this club with the evidence of resting key players for important games in specific competitions. We aren’t just making this shit up.. it’s literally being briefed to us by the club through their mouth pieces, the dodgy twat on Sky Sports News, Ben Jacobs, Fabrizio, Matt Law and Ornstein. They aren’t journalists, they are literally paid to spout the nonsense that is fed to them by the clubs who pay them. 

I can’t believe there are fans actually saying shit like this. We haven’t won a domestic trophy since 2018 i believe. Another few more years and it’s more than a decade. Then how long after? How long before we become a Spurs? You would never hear this talk under Roman.. NEVER! Every trophy must be won… every trophy is worth winning. 
 
Not only that but we had the chance to stop Arsenal from winning it and possible a double, treble or quadruple. You do realise how bad it’s going to be if Arsenal achieve any of that, don’t you?

I know what you said, and IMO he's not even in the same playing field., so its pointless even bringing that up.
There are some similarities, but there's far more he needs to do be considered in that bracket. If you count just the free kicks, setpiece delivery and defensive headers that Drogba contributes, that alone puts him far ahead of Pedro. Pointless comparison really.
You're only making Joao Pedro look bad with your hyperbole.
 
 
 

Spot on mate.

And some of us don't post hyperbole match after match.
You can have your opinion without trying trying to gaslight people into people thinking about something thats not even true.
I'm not saying Joao Pedro sucks. Far from it. I literally posted thanks for his goals in the last Premier league match.
But I dont have to gaslight people into thinking he's much better than he really is.
I didn't really care much for your hyperbole at first, but when you keep banging on and on about it and then attack other members for having a different opinion, then I'm sorry. Its very rich coming from you.

Didn't really care about how the match was going until Havertz decided to act like a knobhead at the end.
Anyway. We've done worse to them.
Giroud laughing and thanking Arsenal after the Europa league win is far more eye catching.

Arsenal havent won it since 1993, but 'theyre the greatest team the World has ever seen' according to their fans. Bless
