Gutted is not even the word. I have no motivation to do anything today. It will honestly be disgusting if the players looks world beaters next match.

Well then Mourinho is sacked. I don't think any of us can be truly surprised and not many can argue that there weren't ample reasons to sack him, even if they would argue that we should have kept him.
1 thing I would say though, those of you that hounded him out, that insulted him and demanded him be sacked; you reap what you sow. Remember this 1/2/5/10 years down the line that you may never ever complain about Chelsea sacking managers early or about the lack of long term managerial stability. I'm not saying you were wrong, but just remember is all I say.
The last few months have been painful to say the least but I wish to extend my heartfelt gratitude towards Jose for bringing us yet another title to go with the 2 he brought us in his first spell. That double last year has ensured that his second spell here should (and will be by the vast majority of Chelsea fans) be viewed as a success.
My final thought is for the players. I hope you're all happy now. Mourinho wasn't perfect tactically, or with his siege mentality, but even if we'd had my grandma in charge this season I would still be embarrassed to have played as poorly as they have done this season (barring very few exceptions) and you all ought to be ashamed because you're not coming out of this well whatever happens. If you all start playing brilliantly now then you obviously were not trying for Mourinho, which is unacceptable when the man just led you all to a double and protected you all the whole damn time when you cocked up. If you all carry on playing terribly then you're obviously just not bothered about the club and can, quite frankly, fuck off.

Hi. Here is a first *rough* colour render. I've so many things to fix on this image, but thought I'd show you what progress has been made.

Idk how to embed tweets but sky have tweeted done deal for around 15m pounds.

Just post the tweet's link and it's done.

If we were at least clued in to who our own transfer targets are it would ease the pain of seeing one of our legends go to a hated rival. Something to look forward to.
Instead we have absolutely no clue as to who we're buying and are weakening what we already have.

It'll be close to 65k. 2 Bridges, 1 to West Brompton and 1 to the back of Fulham Broadway. They will lower the ground. Wembley is looking the most likely temp ground.

Can't believe what I'm reading in here...
N'Zonzi? Really!?
I just want one superstar/world class signing along with a couple of very good options at the level just below. A Griezmann/Bale/Reus level attacking player along with Schniederlin and another striker.
Have this bad feeling that we won't make a single marquee signing, though, and will simply freshen up the options we have in the squad. Just get players who will give competition to our current first XI. Would be a mistake doing so as well. We need to push on and not remain still while United/City/Arse spend £100m or more each.

If you want to see the kind of player he is watch the Youth cup run last year when he was captain, the both semi-final legs and the finals; And his performances for the England u19 btn August December last yr.
He is incredibly talented both physically and technically and has a very high ceiling.
Having said that, I'm still skeptical about him because he is very inconsistent and can be lazy on the pitch.
I think the issue for those is his stamina. It might be because he is getting used to his body; being a teenager and massive. Matic had the same problem when he was here at first(and he was even older), but now can even rival Ramires in stamina( but no one can rival Ramires stamina when he is in peak condition).
I have watched almost all the youth games on Chelsea tv over the last 3 yrs. RLC has improved his fitness in the last yr. Hence some of those monster performances at the end of the youth cup last yr. He also had a good number of very good performances at the beginning of the u21 league and regularly played 90mins for the first time in yrs. I think that's why he was promoted to the first team in December.
But the PL is a whole difference beast. I think people expect too much from him too soon. He will have to take his fitness to a whole new level, because the real issue with him is stamina. He will need at least two yrs to feature regularly. He has to be carefully eased in to be protected(from quick to judge harsh fans who expect world class performances from him this early) and to enable him to build up his fitness and familiarity with the league without being overwhelmed.
I think 10-17 appearances next yr are enough for him, then 15-25 the following yr and then he might be ready to contribute regularly after that.
He has the trust of the coach and the club, so it will be up to him to deliver when given the chance and show progress.
I think If he fulfills his potential, he will be a world class box to box midfielder because he clearly has the talent. On his day in youth games, he can dribble and drive the ball forward with power, technique and pace like no other, attributes that are very rare in players.

Testament to how close we are with Ken, this is his post to my lad this morning on his Instagram page.

Enjoy Isco!
Regards to ALL.

A bit harsh mate. Im not Mikel's biggest fan but i dont think he's detrimental / a negative to the club!
Plus it's a day after his birthday. Come on...

His finishing which always looked neat has been a nightmare lately. He's missed some sitters recently that had me pulling my hair off. I again blame it on confidence (lack of it) and when I say this I'm not giving him an excuse, I'm actually demanding him to find a way to build confidence from something, somehow... if he doesn't start building confidence, he'll never be better than an average player (as I believe most of his inconsistency lies on his lack of confidence - and some of it lies on the physical demands he can't cope with). I think a player like him should end the season with 15 goals and 15 assists to justify his place in the team, but a double digit return of assists isn't bad imo (and he's only one away from it) it's the goals and the overall passing that has been terrible.

Got really close with him and his brother now, spent last Thursday with his brother for around 3 hours. I went to Ken's house and collected him and brought him to training whilst Ken was away with Nigeria. On Tuesday Ken does a small training session with a group of young Nigerian lads, it keeps his fitness up and it's a bit of fun with hardly any contact. His injury from International duty is fine now, he's been working hard at Rockliffe with the medical team since getting back and he hopes to feature in the up and coming promotion push.
I'm with him and his brother again tonight, I take my little lad along and my lad and Ken have a good kick around and we both chat to him for long periods of time. I tend not to mention football because I think it must come a bit monotonous for him, so it's just normally banter and food related chat. When we do speak about it he just says he is staying very focused and working as hard as he can to reach his goals and ambitions. This lad is a complete and utter gentleman...He absolutely adores my lad to a point on Tuesday my mobile went and it was a FaceTime call from Ken We chatted for almost half an hour, mostly him and my lad talking football and him asking how his football was going.
Kenneth Omeruo :clap:

Thats what im hoping for:
Courtois
Backup
Zouma Varane
Ivanovic John Terry ©
Azpilicueta Filipe Luis
Ivanovic 2 Ake/Azpi 2
Fabregas Matic
Ramires Backup
Koke/Pogba
RLC/Willian 2
Willian Hazard
Cuadrado One of our loanees
Diego Costa
Remy

Sell four (Cahill, Oscar, Mikel, Cech, and whatever happens with Drogba), buy four.

Routledge rightly got his red rescinded, Vertonghen gets fuck all & can play in the the cup final, yet Matic gets a 2 game ban for nearly having his leg broken/career over - fucking priceless!
I've heard Keith Hackett & today Richard keys state that was the most inept refereeing performance in the PL era.....Graham Poll & Mark Halsey both stated that Matic reaction was not violent but aggressive so therefore the punishment should warrant a yellow only especially after the nature of the event, Poll stated that cus Matic pushed below the neckline it doesn't warrant a red card....meanwhile Wankinson gets to be fourth official on Sunday then given a PL match the week after, Halsey made the very same error with the Mcmanaman case & admitted he hadn't seen the incident cus a player blocked his view (perfectly understandable) his punishment.....he got stood down for 6 weeks.....
There has been widespread condemnation of the tackle & Wankinson's performance yet the Fuck All had the chance to save the microscope bit of credibility they had left......again however, we get fucked over by their incompetence, reducing the ban to 2 games is a sympathetic way of laughing at us, Matic must be heartbroken, in a nutshell they are saying that its fine to break another players leg & end a players career but you can't push anyone cus that's excessive, great example to kids watching & trying to learn the right way to play the game.....
Whilst I've never gone with the conspiracy theories, this whole episode has certainly turned my head & added food for thought, I think this will do the same for neutrals from now til the end of the season - not that it will benefit us in anyway but people are going to be having second thoughts now.
I spent sometime at Southampton's academy when my young relative was there for 6 years, he wasn't pulling up tree's but was def going in the right direction, til he reached 14, then a certain Steve Greaves was his coach for 2 years & without going into everything that I experienced, he was fucking useless, so to my horror I read he was Wankinson's assessor on Sat, says it all that he agreed with the worst refereeing performance in the Pl era, the FA are already a laughing stock but trust me its going to get a whole lot worse, especially with clowns like Greaves given an assessors role but why am I not surprised!
