Nott'm Forest 0-1 Chelsea

[Special Juan 28,133]

And that team Newcastle who the media have salivated over finished below us

Villa got raped on that disallowed goal btw

diabolically bad call, likely cost them a CL place, and gifted the headchoppers the CL

We've played like absolute shit at times this season, but that is par for the course for any Chelsea season even when we won titles. 

not 2004-05 (best defensive English side ever) or 2009-10 (absolute beast of a domestic treble team under King Carlo)

2009-10: We broke several Premier League records and statistics including most goals scored in a season (103), most goals scored at home in a season (68) and best goal difference in a season (+71). Chelsea became the first top-flight team to reach a century of league goals since Tottenham Hotspur in 1962/63. The team only failed to score in two of 53 games, a club record. Also, the team holds the Premier League record for most goals scored at home in a season.

Great performance, our players have matured so much in terms of game management it’s insane. They don’t play like the youngest squad in the league anymore. 
 

I assume that’s a wrap for some of our players, don’t expect to see them play for us again in PL if at all, but thank you for what you did to get us back where we belong. 
 

Hopefully this lifts the fan base for next year especially if we make a couple of really strong signings to blend into XI

I never believed we could win three of our last four games...but we did, and look at who we beat to do it.

My prediction of where we would finish 7th, was put to shame i'm pleased to say.

If we win it it still is a UEFA trophy and we will be the first team ever to win every currently contested UEFA trophy. Plus we have a FIFA World Club Cup too.

We can only eat what's on our table.

I agree, we should take what we can, but bragging about going in deep in such a league where we are by far biggest club with biggest budget is nonsense. Anything less than winning that trophy or atleast reaching a final would be shambolic relating our budget, name and obvious disparity with other clubs that are playing there. 
 

It’s enough to look who were the best competitors there, Betis (6th in Spain) and Fiorentina (8th in Italy)…

He isn't even in the celebration video, hope we get rid of him and Fofana.

I expect we'll win against Betis now the weights are off our shoulders.

do not take them for granted, they have some real weapons, far beyond anything we have seen so far in the Conference League

their weaknesses are the defensive quality of back 4 and their GKers

but they are veteran loaded and have real technical quality across the board
