A certain Ivorian idol of Bakayoko’s reportedly telling him the meaning of this fixture unquestionably helped....Kalou??

Can't see it, i think Conte will ease him back in at a similar speed Hiddink did in 2016. Meaning between these 2 international break's he will probably start vs Qarabag and Forest but be super sub in the other's. Palace away will be his fulltime return to the lineup if i was a betting man.

Those big striding runs are a joy to watch, think this guy will be a monster here.

Romelu Lukaku is not world class.

Can we all just admit that nobody has any idea who Contes #1 striker target is besides him and the board? Nobody in the media or on twitter has any idea. It could be Lukaku, it could be Belotti, it could be Morata. Everyone is just assuming then assuming how he feels about the first assumption lol

Arsenal need top 4! I expect that game to be pretty open and physical

Spurs will lose to Arsenal this weekend.

Yes, Palace are a real wank, but we should't rely on others, especially when we have everything in our hands. We have 4 point lead, so everything depends on us, I don't care about others, as long as Chelsea are winning and are on the top.

Ibrahimovic's exploits in the PL at the age of 35, his debut season as well, is the stuff of legends. Don't think it's highlighted enough. It's the most physically demanding league around. And he's a striker. That's the hardest position to play and the position in which players suffer the sharpest declines.
35. Juggernaut.

Cider is so English. It's considered quite feminine in Australia, like a pre-packaged vodka mixer. It's getting a better reputation stateside because craft breweries are starting to brew ciders that aren't Magners, Strongbow and Angry Orchard. 

Bournemouth might sneak a result here. Would be huge considering our draw. Still think that was a decent point considering their home form

Aguero will not be happy with that gald to see after what the wee cunt did to Luiz 

WHAT. A. GOAL.
 

That one went according to plan. Funny how Kane tried to talk his team up with his "Chelsea is catchable" . Good look catching us with that u deluded mongo

This forum has seen this so many times but it is fitting -
 

You obviously missed my reply to BlueLyon...

Imho, this thread and the treatment Costa has been receiving is absolutely pathetic. The notion of him having no commitment is utterly nonsense and I have no idea where it's coming from. Is it that people think he didn't train because his head was turned by the Chinese offer? Nothing but a myth; Conte already cleared that up. 
What isn't a myth, however, is his commitment on the pitch, where it matters most. He never backs down from a challenge, he tries his best all the time and inspires teammates in doing so. Even during his worst season with us, he single-handedly earned us multiple points by not giving up till the very end.
Consider the ridiculous criticism of his commitment, but also consider the amount of insults he's received through all this drama. Our player of the season, and our best striker alongside Drogba in the last decade or so, has been treated like an absolute nobody. It's almost as if people were waiting for something to attack him with. Ffs, we're not Arsenal. We don't disrespect people who've brought good to this club and not only that but the level of effort they've shown the pitch.
Knowing Costa, he will be fired up to shut up all the drama if he starts vs Hull. I'm confident he'll bag a brace in his return. Forget about what's gonna happen in Summer; He's our player till then and he's not the type of player to hide, that's why we have to support him.

Drogba had his annoying moments too with his diving, sulking, wanting to leave Chelsea etc in his first few years here... He ended up being one of our top 3 players of all time (imo) and delivering us the CL and multiple PLs amongst other trophies...
I'm not saying the same thing will necessarily happen with Diego but sometimes it's a good idea not to make rash decisions based on one or two isolated incidents when you have an absolutely amazing player at your disposal... I don't expect Diego to be perfect, Mendes probably told him to try to get a few days off while he discusses the details of a possible deal with the Chinese club and Diego did it. It's of course very annoying for us fans but at the same time, I think it's a good idea to remember that this is still a job for footballers and a business for agents, clubs etc so we perhaps shouldn't expect absolute loyalty from anyone
