Special Juan

Needs to raise his game massively before even thinking about this. I have watched every game he has played for Alanyaspor, and whilst he has had some good games he has also been very shaky for the majority and also for Nigeria too.

Seen this lot here tonight...fucking rubbish, 2-1 down now and look completely clueless.

I spoke to him at the hotel and he speaks like a true fan, just the small things he says is brilliant. As we walked away and went to the car he shouts "Come on Blues" across the car park...He cares, not only does he care but he has come back a much mature and intelligent footballer.

I think my lad had the edge.

Boro fans sang "Town full of rent boys"...so we sang back "Adam Johnson he's one of your own"

Some pictures from the hotel and after the game yesterday.

Ground out the result which could be a sign of champions. Had a cracking day with my lad, the Chelsea fans unreal again and at work this morning having lost my voice. Got some great pictures with Courtois, Pat Nevin, Emenalo and Buck. All of them came over and spoke to us outside the ground and all this following from meeting the lads at the hotel the previous night. It wasn't our best performance but for a performance of champions, you won't win every game like we did against Everton but winning is all that matters. Will post pictures later of all the players.

Just been to the team hotel, met the players and had a great hour there with my lad. Don't think Willian has travelled as he wasn't there but everyone else was present.

Teesside is know for so called Smog due to the amount of chemical and industrial plants in the area, hence the Smoggy reference.

Nah, Costa must start. Full strength, get the job sealed and then make changes. The run must go on, and with a full strength outfit.

Conte "All my players are available this weekend"

Fully deserved, nobody else comes close.

1PM presser today.

Game is a sell out, the smoggy bastards are coming out in force just to see the Chelsea.

Against City and Arsenal they played on the counter and when attacked just got everyone back and were very organised. I think we will have too much for them, the pace of Hazard and Pedro will give Barragan and Friend a real problem. Ben Gibson has been in good form for them at CB but a flying Costa will see to him. De Roon, Forshaw and especially Gaston Ramirez have hit a patch of form, all working hard in the middle but they are going to need too against Kante and Matic. I expect them to be looking for Negredo in the air a lot and trying to get Adama Traore in behind as he is lighting quick. 3-1 Chelsea for me.

Posted the same picture as Alonso did on his Instagram saying "Ready for the weekend" Must be fit and ready to tear Boro a new arse.

I'd sell my wife in all honesty.

Off to the team hotel Saturday night.....Can't wait for Sunday, get the beers in and up the Chels.

I watched it, he was excellent.

Just scored again to make it 3-1.

Him and Moses just scored for Nigeria.

Just put Nigeria ahead.

Injured in training for Spain and will miss the England game...FFS.

United and Jose have found their level

Going to this, will be a lot tougher than people expect. I expect Negredo to turn into a world beater and them sit ten men behind the ball from the first whistle.
