DH1988

Are we at a point where we need to seriously start looking at Mendy? I've been so unimpressed with him for ages now.

Unfortunately Conor has just tried too hard to impress, rash on and off the ball, not a reflection on his true ability, not that I think he is ready to start for Chelsea, its just immaturity from a young Chelsea fan.

Bowen would be such a better fit for us, just a shame he costs West Ham tax ie. They want five times his actual worth. Ake has regressed since going to City, always had potential, but that was it.

The performance by Karim was just superb forward play all evening.

Trevs positioning is just shambolic.

God listening to Micah is cringe worthy, how City manage their transfers by beating everyone to Haaland for only £51m... forgets to mention the insane money package associated.

This is glorious

Hindsight is wonderful, even that though is a scapegoat statement to fit a situation. I can only hope that going forward with new ownership that decisions in terms of contracts are dealt with looking at a longer term strategy, not to say we need to aim lower in terms of trophies btw.

Actual corruption.

What an effort, let down by the worst 45 minutes under Tuch at SB, otherwise super proud of the team. I am not the biggest fan of Mount, as previous posts say, but credit where its due. How frustrating is it that when Mount gets a fire in his stomach he performs like that? I adore Thiago, how he's come into the club etc and there is no shame in being outplayed by Karim, I think we can all look at Karim and think THAT is world class.

Rudi kills me.

- Karim is just class - Is it me or does James look leggy?

Blue tinted glasses of course, but the ownership possibility for Chelsea is just so lucrative, West London, Kings Road etc. I'm not talking profits of course, it's all status.

Just wow, credit to Unai.

The close control from Kova is just a beautiful thing to watch at times.

Seems to have slowed down dramatically?

Political bullshit, I feel aggrieved to lose an owner who had such a love for Chelsea, a fan, one of us, in the stands. Money inherently on that scale is stained, no matter the business or industry. Ridiculous that the UK government have been able to step in.

UK government have just taken the opportunity to control the sale and funnel money to 'charitable' causes, most of which will never end up where it is supposed to.

Evacuate, Black Sea consolidation, power plant control and then push the refugees West-ward, let Europe deal with the fall out. Seems to be the picture at the moment. One thing that I cannot stand is people speaking out on twitter and parliament etc if you're that bothered, off you pop onto your private jet to Ukraine. Ukraine is saying that US is obligated to use military support as part of security measures, unfortunately not the case, sold down the river. Once again, I condemn what is happening, there is shared blame here in terms of politics and civilian pawns caught up in it, same as is littered through our human history. I haven't seen Yemen in the news or the Premier league changing colours or supporting Yemeni. The US, what a midas touch they have for foreign policy.

The whole flirting with Nato prior to this should simply not have happened, I condemn what's happening today absolutely but I find it short sighted and a distasteful to champion Zelensky as a hero to be quite honest. Asking for whomever to stay and fight, no, leave and stay alive then at least its a chance to come back one day, who knows. Nato sold Ukraine down the river, and they were naive enough to believe otherwise prior to this.

A shame the Saudis bought Newcastle.

Propaganda on both sides is staggering, the amount of potential misinformation and the use of the Internet is what astounds me. The US standing up to the bullies, laughable. Nato should not have sought expansion, I cannot believe Zelensky thought Nato would bail them out of this, even with the no fly zone, he encourages people to stay and fight, no, its happening and get out of dodge to safety asap, to advise your people and civilians of anything else is purely propaganda usage, sad. The whole ordeal is just crazy because it could have been avoided.

Read this, read that, left, right, Ukraine good, Russia bad. Not enough knowledge on any of it to form an opinion on who is right or wrong in the grander scale.. not that war is right of course.. and you might day well only one side is invading, so I have my answer, I do wonder about the detail though.

Need our fullbacks, simple as that. Happy to get to the end of the season asap in CL places.

The difference in him from Lever is staggering confidence wise.
