The true danger in my opinion, is that groups like QAnon distract from real conspiracies making the wider society view ANY conspiracy theory automatically as untrue and every theorist a loony bin candidate. In fact I wouldn't be surprised if movements like QAnon and others are purposefully fed lies with sprinkles of truth by real conspirators, in order to distract and diminish the credibility of anyone who might be onto them (lol, guess I just created a new conspiracy theory 😄). It gives them a nice safety net of "oh they're just right-wing conspiracy nutjobs" even when they sometimes actually touch a real subject, no-one will believe them. In general it ties to the spread of misinformation like in every aspect of media. The point is to muddy the waters enough so that people wouldn't know truth from fiction anymore, and that is a very fertile breeding ground for corporate criminals.

PLEASE let them sign Mudryk instead, so we can stop wasting our time on him.

So glad we didn't sign. Flop written all over him.

If we are serious about his development (or upping his value), then loaning to Brazil makes no sense.

That's the thing, technically he just isn't good enough. His lack of technique and decision making are his major weaknesses and you don't improve those a lot at age 23. If he was a random academy player, he'd be loaned or sold a long time ago already. The only thing keeping him in the picture is his price tag - the investors want to minimize their losses, but with each game he devalues himself more. I don't think he'll be here next season.

Not allegedly, Poch himself said that Enzo asked him to play higher up. He probably thinks he can score and assist more higher up the pitch, but he can't shoot the ball to save his life. Maresca, the yes-man he is, will probably bend over to every request. Making him captain was a joke too, no wonder many believe Chelsea is a racist club.

Does anybody even care who we sign anymore? I don't, they're all average mercenaries anyway. I couldn't care less about anybody in the squad once Gallagher and Chalobah leave, the last carriers of Chelsea DNA (Reece also but he's not gonna play a lot). A team of average mercenaries is what we've become and no signing is gonna change that.

Poch already experimented with Enzo at 10 and it failed, why is he playing there again? As soon as Poch put him back deep and Gallagher up, we started playing a lot better. Maresca didn't do his homework? Enzo's a DLP and DLP only.

What's the deal with Trump and diapers?

It's like watching Chelsea from a bit of time ago, eerily similar unimaginative U-style football. How many times have been successful playing this type of static possession snoozefest? Zero... Sure you score once in a while like in that video, but more often than not it's just a waste of time, we have seen that time and time again. Our successes have come from when we start attacking the box vertically, quickly and with intent. I know nothing about Maresca, but I hope he's at least flexible enough that he can play counter-attacks too when that's appropriate. If he's a one trick pony that tells the players to only play out from the back and retain possession at all costs, then he's gonna fail quickly.

Watching a live game after a long time and we be ballin.😛 Love what I'm seeing. Especially surprised about Cucurella, he's playing in midfield!😮 And doing very well. I also see Chalobah up quite often so are we playing 2 at the back?😆 Whatever it is, it's working.

How long before that ref shaves his head bald like all the other fucking illuminati initiated fraud refs? Absolutely pathetic this VAR bullshit. 🖕 If that was a foul, then just scrap football altogether if NO contact at all is allowed, we don't need this new pussy ass "sport"... but I suspect this rule applies only to CFC. 🖕

Biggest difference between Eden and Cole is that Cole shoots on sight. Haz was a shy shooter which was the most frustrating part of his game. Would be interesting to compare their shooting stats.

In a far inferior squad too. I know I dissed Cold's signing at first due to frustration of our general transfer business, but the lad has well and truly made me eat my words (called him a City reject in a dismissive manner). I'm a believer now. 🥶❄️ Also, he is proof that you don't necessarily have to be shit in an average team. In that sense it's hard to make excuses for all the other players. You can blame Poch however much you want, Calm Palmer is proof that if you got it, you perform no matter what.

What happened? That video has been removed.

Having a great game against Luxembourg holds no weight whatsoever. It's like having a great game against Estonia, a joke of an opponent.

Crocus Hall attacks were planned and carried out by ISIS, but it was done with the approval and knowledge of Russian security services, NO doubt about it. Possibly even instigated by them. That would explain a lot of suspicious things around this case. They realized they can turn it into their advantage as evidenced by Putin immediately blaming Ukraine (even tho Ukraine would have exactly zero reasons to do this) and more than likely there are more restrictive laws and crackdowns inbound, like after every terror attack in Russia. Every single time the Kremlin regime got something positive out of them to tighten their power grip on the nation. And Russian gangsters, currently in power, have a history of killing their own with the 1999 apartment bombings, which successfully got the regime in power. However, I'm not so sure that Putin himself knows or is the one who gave the order, he may have just been briefed about it this way (remember, he is fed very selective information by other members of the regime, he doesn't trust anybody else, which gives those "others" a huge amount of power). It is a common misconception that Putin is omnipotent in Russia - he is not. "They" probably LOVE that everybody thinks it's all about Putin. Truth is he is a puppet in many ways like most leaders are, but he does have much more control and authority than your average western schmuck pulled by the strings for 4-8 years, otherwise he wouldn't have survived that long. Reason is that inside their mob circle they make each other very rich by stealing from the people, protecting each other and keeping it in the "family", and trust me - if Putin ever grew a conscience and tried to to get in the way of this system, he would be swiftly dealt with by the same people who helped him get to power.

Yes, they can. Don't underestimate peoples' will to survive and fight for their right to exist. Russia has been beaten many times by smaller nations in the past thanks to sheer willpower. Only problem these days are nukes, which is probably why the west isn't giving weapons that could actually give Ukrainians a real chance of winning. They are only giving enough for Ukraine not to lose, but also not to win. Russia's nuke threats are very effective and Putin's probably realized clearer than ever that we are a bunch of cowards.

Absolutely, no doubt about it. In Estonia we were taught from young age that you can't trust Russia, the wounds of USSR occupation still weren't healed and have been ripped open again since the 2008 Georgian invasion, then 2014 and especially 2022 Ukraine. My school in Estonia, Narva, was bombed in 1998 by Russian gangsters just because it was the only Estonian school, hence an Estonian symbol, in our otherwise Russian-speaking town. During that time Russia only had one leader, one regime, that has been planning everything since day one. They are a continuation to USSR's ambition for world dominance under dictatorship rule, just under a different name. Democracies on the other hand lack stability and ability to plan long-term, because everybody only cares about the 4 years they are in power, and they need to think about what the imbecile masses care about in order to get to power. That's why I fear that slowly but surely right-wing nutcases will take over western nations, they are more isolationist and that's what the masses want when feeling endangered in their personal lives.... Sure it's all fine and dandy to help others and be open and tolerant towards others when everybody is thriving and everything is going great, but once shit truly hits the fan, it's all for themselves.

Sounds very similar to Estonia (or almost any western country for that matter). We have donated the most to Ukraine per GDP, consistently have one of the highest inflations in EU, cost of living and housing is through the roof, government constantly backtracks on its promises and raises/creates new taxes. I guarantee if this shit was happening in e.g. France or USA, the streets would be burning. And our PM has the nerve to accuse the people of making the economic situation worse because "we whine too much"... As if burning the streets down and striking all the time would do wonders to the economy. Instead we spread our asscheeks and take it, because that's how we are, the least we should be allowed to do is complain a little bit. 🖕 Anyway, just wanted to vent. 😄 Politicians are scum.

I think it's just another sign of our medical dept's incompetency. They can't estimate correctly nor are they capable of treating correctly.

We already are and will stay so for the foreseeable future sadly.

Lol, keep Lukaku and his 15+ goals away from us. He cost Inter the CL and Belgium the WC by being in the way and wasteful. If he doesn't score (most games), he is not only useless, but absolutely detrimental.

Are you being serious here? 😄 I still remember him walking around nonchalantly, not closing players down, just being slow overall in situations. He would probably be slightly better than Caicedo though.

Actually those are the best types of games to judge players on for us. It's not like we're gonna play good any time soon, so a player standing out positively in otherwise shit team performances is a good sign for us. Any average player can stand out in a well-drilled team, Caicedo and Cucurella being prime examples. But it takes something special to impress in a team with no cohesion or play patterns, a la Hazard - that's where you want to splash hundreds of millies around.
