In a couple of weeks you will demand a new contract for him!

lets not get carried away, lol

due to the bans and Eden leaving, I will cut him some slack if we finish 4th and/or win the EL

he damn well better talk CHO into renewing

if he does those two (CHO and CL) (or even 3 things for the Blue trifecta)

I might give him a reach-around when I whip out my strap-on for punishment time

indeed, and hats off to the old smoker on RLC, he has deffo helped him raise his level

(Vesper waits for the board to faint as I said a nice thing about Sarri)

I'd go as far as saying that's his best achievement for us to date. First few months he was constantly calling Ruben back in game to give instructions and it looks like it's paying off.

What's happening the 12th?

That was Hazard's greatest game in a Chelsea shirt.

We are due to leave the European Union on Friday if an extension is not granted.

Macron will probably block, it is 50/50

He had games like these against much better teams than this West Ham. He has won us many big matches in the last 7 years.

if you think Arnautovic and Anderson (he inverted at times) are shit, then I cannot help you

either one can be a load to handle, and Emerson overall bossed them when they came into his zonal area

Anderson seems to be a good player, but arnaut is not. WHU fans were commenting that hazard would have lots of spaces because arnaut does not track back at all.  I'm not a fan.

It’s still entirely besides the point whether they have one or two good players tho.

these smaller sides pose a much bigger threat when playing in their home ground, where they can press and impose their game. Of course sometimes a visiting small side can cause problems, but it’s different, being mostly about counter attacking.

To be clear I want to see more of Emerson when he's being pressed. I thought he did very poorly when pressed before.

Great game and goal from hazard it's hard to choice which was hazard best ever solo goal was the one tonight or the one against the gunners both goals where beautiful to watch 

[Superblue 6,372]

I thought Azpi had one of the best games I've seen him play for a while tonight. Looked much more defensively solid and got forward regularly.

I also felt our playing out the back was much improved today. Even at times in the second half when West Ham were pushing and pressing high, we were calm and played some pretty good one touch stuff at times to get out of tight spaces. 

Definitely some marked improvement in performances the last couple of games. Hopefully a big result on Thursday and then its the acid test next weekend.

Haven't read back too far did anyone mention Kante? His skill set is evolving in this system thought he had a great game.

Seriously!!! This wouldnt even make his top 10.

A semblance of form at last, in view of the European clashes and Liverpool.
Hazard was fantastic and the scoreline 2-0 is artificially low.

I hate this Real Madrid talk, as if we are Apollon Athens, Xanthi FC, Corfu FC.
