As an aggregate over the past three seasons. Yes Neuer makes mistakes, but so do all the rest.

1. Neuer 2. Courtois 3. Buffon 4. de Gea 5. Cech Can't really argue about those five being better than the rest. You can suggest a change-around regarding the order, but I honestly think only Neuer is a better all-round keeper than TBO.

I have absolutely no emotional attachment to the bloke, but it is hilarious that he's still played more games for Chelsea than Liverpool.

José will probably play Bego in all the Europa League games though, so at least he'll play another 30 times before the end of the season.

Buzzing for Thursday night football again.

It'll be 70 points for top four and between 35-30 points to avoid the drop, IMO. I think that you're spot on when you say that this season, it'll be a new low for top four qualification - which we'll still miss out on - and a record for most points for a relegated team There are 23 games and ergo 69 points remaining. Considering that, at the moment, going by our form over the course of the season, we're averaging five points every five games, at that same rate we'll end up with 38 points and be in the Championship by August. Which is exactly why we need a new manager. He's lost the dressing room. That's the only remaining explanation. Let's say we can "transform" our form and pick up ten points for every five games hereon-in. Could potentially lead to us picking up around another 45 points, which again would leave us with only 60 points. Last year, that equated to 7th, In 2013/14 and 2012/13, 8th, in 2011/12, 7th (and thus lower than we even finished that year). Fact is, we're fucking doomed, and finishing top eight from here is optimistic with the current outlook. To put it into perspective, even if we win all of our games between now and the end of the season, we'd have less points than we accrued last season. In other words, in 15 games this year, we've dropped more points than we did in 38 last season.

Alright nobody likes a gloating bastard

100% agreed. I love the bloke to the moon and back, but he's shown no indication that he's going to change it...

Deserves to be at a better team.

Wonder if PSG will swap him for Luiz? He looks so lethargic all the while. Think he's lost his desire to play for this club.

Hahaha we sold Mata and KdB for him

Useless. Shite. Tell me one thing he offers that RLC doesn't? Mikel and Ramires are better defensively. Ramires is more dynamic. Mikel is more composed on the ball. Even fucking Maniche was better than this fraud.

Done with this oxygen thief.

Think he could have done better in the lead up to their goal, tbh. Glad he's back though.

Why the fuck would he want to come here?

Adebayor to save our season.

We're going out regardless of who we get.

I was jokingly going to say I'd rather have Glen Murray than Costa before the start of yesterday's game. Ooops.

I can't find the post where I said I'd give him until the New Year to sort it out... but at this rate we'll be in the Europa League by Thursday morning, out of the FA Cup in round three, and in a relegation dogfight. He's done nothing to change the set-up. We've had a few wins against piss-poor opposition down to strokes of good fortune or brilliance, but tactically, we're the same predictable team we've been for two years. You can overlook poor football when we're overpowering teams and winning games, but you can't when you're failing to create clear-cut chances. How many clear cut chances have we had in the last few games? None. Unacceptable. I know there's no-one more qualified we can bring in, but he's too stubborn to change it, and while mongs like Fabregas and Oscar get free rides, we're not going to win another game between now and the end of the month.

We're still in the title race

If we don't beat these and beat them comfortably, then I'll be properly worried.

Guest article by domfell History will be made one way or another on Saturday when AFC Bournemouth roll into Stamford Bridge. The meeting will be the first between the two clubs in the top tier, and only the fifth time they have ever locked horns. Those previous contests came in Division Two and League Cup competition, with the Cherries emerging victorious in the first, but coming unstuck in the next three – failing to score a goal in the process. Some 21 years have passed since the last of those matches was staged, and it is fair to say that a lot has changed in that time for both clubs. This weekend, Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho will send a star-studded team into action, one brimming with world-class talent, international pedigree and one still operating under the banner of reigning Premier League champions. Things have not always been this good, though, and back in 1994/95, the Blues were plodding their way towards mid-table mediocrity and early exits from domestic knockout competition. They were, however, to claim the scalp of Bournemouth along the way, and the side that lined up in west London the last time the Cherries paid a visit stands in stark contrast to the expensively assembled ranks of today.How many of those handed a starting berth that day do you think you can name? To give you a bit of a clue, there a sprinkling of full internationals in there – with Russia, Norway, Scotland, Denmark and Jamaica among those represented, alongside five Englishmen - four of which were spread across midfield. The game in question finished 1-0 to Chelsea, putting them on course to prevail in a Coca-Cola Cup contest played over two legs. Given that goals have been in short supply between these two in past meetings, and with both in need of points in the present day, football betting experts are likely to favour another close encounter when the curtain goes up on their latest fixture. Let us get back, though, to the issue of those who made up Glenn Hoddle’s starting XI back on 21st September 1994. Dmitri Kharine lined up between the sticks, and in front of him were Erland Johnsen, Frank Sinclair, Jakob Kjeldbjerg and Steve Clarke. Bite and flair in midfield was provided by Gavin Peacock, Eddie Newton, Dennis Wise and David Rocastle. Paul Furlong and John Spencer were paired together up front, with Neil Shipperley stepping off the bench to replace the latter in the only change of the game. None of the frontmen proved to be the match-winner, though, with a solitary effort from Rocastle enough to hand the Blues a slender first leg advantage. It is also worth noting that the game was played out in front of just 8,974 spectators. It is safe to assume that there will be a fair few thousand more in attendance this weekend, and that Mourinho will be hoping to see his side offer more of a cutting edge than they did two decades ago as Chelsea seek to stretch their three-match unbeaten run and breathe new life into their 2015/16 campaign.

Erection worthy.

He's a better option than Falcao, but if we're signing him to save our season after fucking SPURS released him, we might as well just accept 9th place now.
