Thanks, but it isn't mine

Not my article, it's a guest article, and it's hugely out of date. Nothing to do with me

A new guest article. The views are not my own.

Can this season get any worse for Chelsea? After the latest international break surely we'll be heading towards the top half and challenging for the European places shortly after. Progression from the Champions League group stage is looking good, and if successful, we'll have until February to get in form if we want to consider winning Europe's biggest prize. Domestically, the next set of fixtures are quite favourable to get us into a more respectable position, and the latest bookmaker offers are still favouring Chelsea for a top four finish this season. Here's a quick look at our next four Premier League games: Sunday 29 November: Tottenham Hotspur (away) This was a real turn up for the books on New Year's Day when Tottenham stunned us 5-3 at White Hart Lane. With the way the two teams are performing right now you wouldn't put it past a repeat or similar result. Three goals would be good for us actually - we've not looked too threatening in attack for much of the season, whilst Spurs have sured up their defensive line under Mauricio Pochettino after the opening third of the season. We're at Macabbi Tel-Aviv in the Champions League on the Tuesday beforehand, but Tottenham will be in action two days later, meaning they have much less time for recovery and preparation. They're in Azerbaijan for their Europa League game too - Pochettino has played a strong side in this competition this season so it will be interesting to see who he takes out there. Right now, I'd say be lucky to come away with anything from this game, but hopefully we'll be heading into it off of back-to-back victories. Saturday 5 December: Bournemouth (home) A full week's rest is followed by another one of the newly-promoted sides as struggling Bournemouth come to town in Saturday's evening kickoff. Eddie Howe's side are really struggling of late, particularly following long-term injuries to Callum Wilson, Max Gradel and Tyrone Mings. The Cherries are currently on a four-game losing streak in the league, having shipped 13 goals and only scored twice during this run. Losing 1-0 at home to Newcastle is about as bad as it can get right now. Their fixtures before coming to Stamford Bridge to start December are Swansea City away and Everton at home - they could be on a longer losing streak and in the relegation zone before they play us. I'm confident even now that this will be three points for the Blues. Monday 14 December: Leicester City (away) After the final group stage match in this season's Champions League, at home to FC Porto on the Wednesday, we have the weekend off before travelling up to Leicester City for Monday night football. Leicester City won't be in action midweek but by this game not being played on Saturday or Sunday there's little excuse for fatigue or lack of preparation time on our behalf. Hopefully by then Jamie Vardy will have stopped scoring and that our former boss, Claudio Ranieri, will have stopped winning. Right now, the Foxes are third in the table. They've got to travel to Newcastle, host Manchester United and then travel to Swansea City before the big showdown in mid-December. Saturday 19 December: Sunderland (home) If there's one fixture you want to guarantee three points right now, it's Sunderland. The Black Cats have been woeful, even since the arrival of Sam Allardyce, shipping six to Everton, as well as defeats to West Brom and Southampton. Sunderland's defence is woeful so surely this will be a game that Eden Hazard, Diego Cost and co will turn it on; our final match before Christmas. We've got some very favouable home matches coming up - Norwich City, Bournemouth, Sunderland and even Watford on Boxing Day. That simply has to 12 points from 12 and a top half standing before we travel to Manchester United on Monday 28 December.

(Look at all the armchair moderators you lot could cause arguments in a padded cell). Back on topic: still Costa. He#'s just out of form. He has been for 11 months, though, which worries me.

Costa is useless right now.

Chelsea transfer news: West Brom's £20m Saido Berahino added to Stamford Bridge transfer targets Exclusive: England U21 striker on Chelsea shortlist as January replacement for Radamel Falcao and has advantage of home-grown status http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/teams/chelsea/12002046/Chelsea-transfer-news-West-Broms-20m-Saido-Berahino-added-to-Stamford-Bridge-transfer-targets.html

Anonymous have declared war on ISIS. They're the only real army involved in this conflict. The toughest, meanest motherfuckers on the planet.

Accusing people of double standards and hypocrisy is not only deeply hurtful, it is absolutely uncalled for and massively dismissive of an abominable act of terrorism on our doorstep.

Depends on your definition and your perspective. To label 90% of all terrorists as Muslims is not only a controversial statement but also based on the stereotypical image of the Kalashnikov-wielding, turban-wearing jihadist. Some Irish Catholics view the British as terrorists, for instance. Hence "at least".

At least 128 dead - confirmed.

I'm not a 'Mou hardcore defendant' but I do back our manager. However I maintain CL>PL,

Hate the material on the sleeves. Will adidas ever make a simple kit? 100X prefer this season's. Also, Yokohama... what about "Tyres"? And why is our badge white?

Illuminati confirmed.

For point three, I don't give a shit as long as we get the result. I'd rather play shit at Anfield and scrape a 1-1, than play nicey nicey football and get beaten.

Genuinely gutted Arsenal didn't sign him now.

Don't rush him back, FFS. A goalkeeper is the least of our problems right now. I'm quite happy for Thibaut's reputation as the second best GK in the world to not be besmirched by playing behind that defence.

This is like the Mikel situation all over again, but this time José is trying to make a winger/second striker turn into a LB.

Of course it won't, but lets hope it continues a little while longer.

Yep, shit club. That Ward-Prowse is shit as well

Such an amazing talent. Genuinely amazed how he's come on. Came into the Lyon team in 2010-ish, around the same time as Ishak Belfodil, and I always thought Belfodil was the bigger talent of the two

What a bunch of pussies. "Drogba's gone so we're going to implode". You can imagine us wheeling him out in a wheelchair when he's 76 with Paulo Ferreira's great-grandson playing right-back as we battle to avoid the drop to the Evostik Southern Premier.

The best thing about this season is we now know the answer to "where were you when you were shit?". We're shit now, and we're all still here.

I have the same problem. I look like a slightly more attractive but even more overweight Wayne Rooney, so shaving any beard of mine makes me look like a potato.

We're that spectacularly shite at the minute that we could re-draw Bradford in the FA Cup, go 4-0 up, this time, and still fuck it up.
