A Chelsea supporter has described his "shock" after being stabbed and taken to hospital before Wednesday's Champions League match against Napoli in Italy. Marcus, 22, who did not want to give his surname, said he and a group of Chelsea fans were targeted in the centre of Naples by a group of Napoli 'ultras' - a term used for hardcore supporter groups in European football. "We turned a corner - it wasn't technically an alleyway, but it felt like one because there were no lights," he said. "There were about 20 or 30 people, all in black, walking towards us as soon as we made eye contact. Some people knew what was happening and ran straight away." Marcus, who was with "seven or eight" friends, added: "It was definitely a shock. Everyone was shaken up when we eventually found the police. "I was in shorts and they were covered in blood, with blood going all down my leg. We think it was a screwdriver – it could've been a Stanley blade. It was either that or a screwdriver. "I didn't really feel it until I started running away. My left cheek felt heavy, almost, and as soon as I touched it my hand was covered in blood Italians usually stab in the arse or legs, it carries a lesser sentence

Did really well overall. Hostile place to go, and they hadnt lost there for 13 months

Conte reunion a sharp reminder of Chelsea's fall Image source,Getty Imagests Chelsea have not won the Premier League since Antonio Conte led them to the 2016-17 title - and facing the Italian's Napoli side on Wednesday brings that into sharp focus. Conte's triumph came in the season when Pep Guardiola began his reign as Manchester City boss. It was Conte's first campaign in England, too, and Chelsea enjoyed a club-record 13 consecutive league wins on their way to lifting the championship with 93 points. Their fifth Premier League crown in 13 seasons matched Manchester United's achievement in that same period. Chelsea - or indeed United - haven't ruled the roost since, amid an extensive turnover of players and coaches. Nine years down the line, we reach a dramatic finale to the Champions League's opening phase. Liam Rosenior's Chelsea need a win against Conte's Napoli at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona to go directly into the last-16 stage. Their hosts - Serie A champions last season - must win to stay in the competition.

The genius with his finger on the pulse Simon Phillips said - 'maybe he does want to go, maybe he doesnt, only time will tell...' but he padded it out to 500 words.

Half the personnel we're associated with, including the manager, backroom staff, scouting set up would never have even been considered 10, 15, 20 years ago. Shows how far we've come. It was obvious from the 'takeover' we're part of a franchise where mediocrity is acceptable.

There are now updated estimates of Palmer’s market value . Football Observatory CIES recently placed his worth at around £115.8 million, factoring in age, performance level, and projected development. Transfermarkt’s assessment sits slightly higher, at roughly £120 million. Any realistic asking price, however, would almost certainly exceed those numbers. Rosenior _ “He’s a huge part of our long-term plans,” he said, explaining that recent absences were linked to fitness management rather than attitude. Palmer’s visible frustration, he added, came from being unable to perform at his usual level due to discomfort. For now, Chelsea’s position appears settled: Palmer is viewed as a player to build around, not one edging toward the exit.

Lol Simon Phillips summed up Maybe Palmer is going, maybe he isnt, time will tell. Genius.

Arsenal or Man Utd - like is that shit flavoured shit or just plain shit ?
