Kid looks interesting in that youtube video. Has some nice tools but a few of his touches are too flamboyant. Flamboyant isn't a bad thing in itself. To have the ability to do it when required is one sign of a good player, but when it's not required it's a hindrance not a help. Controlling the ball so that it pops up then falls back where you want it looks nice but it takes longer than a simpler touch and can rob you of the split second which makes all the difference. In that vid, there are moments when I'd say he appears to take his time, rather than simply have time because he does everything efficiently. There's a difference.

I really like Nya's M.O. but he's going to require some coaching and if he is still playing school football then he should stop. Playing in games where he's a mile better than everyone else is only going to encourage extravagant touches when in fact he needs to develop his understanding of how and when to ration those. I hope the young man will get that coaching but, although I'm a long term supporter of, and apologist for, the academy, they are yet to convince me that they are fully delivering on their first, basic remit. I'm not talking about churning out first team squad members for CFC, but of the function which comes before that.

The basic function of any educational establishment is to help the student maximise their potential. I'd like to believe we are achieving that but some of the evidence is doubtful. For example, I'm not persuaded that we have helped Jed, Charly or Ruben make the most of what they have. Footballers, nor their coaches, can do anything about a lack of talent,you can't teach that, but it seems to me that the flaws in the games of those three lads are teachable things. They don't seem to have been taught however.

I don't know why Nya and his family decided to move but I hope it is more than just the contract on offer. I hope they have made a good choice, that Nya learns everything he needs to, that he enjoys his football and that he achieves his goals. Welcome son.

Chelsea Football Club is saddened by the passing of David Stride, a left-back of ours in the 1970s. He was 58.

Stride joined Chelsea as an apprentice and signed professional forms in January 1976, by which time he had been converted from a left winger into a full-back.

He captained our reserves before joining North American Soccer League side Memphis Rogues, managed by Eddie McCreadie, on loan. Charlie Cooke was a teammate of his in Tennessee.

He returned to London and established himself in our first team early in the 1978/79 campaign, making 33 appearances although the team were relegated from the First Division.

Stride, renowned for his pace down the left flank, played three more times in the early part of the following season, his final game a victory over Bristol Rovers at Stamford Bridge in October 1979.

Turd Sport have got rid of the number one turd on that awful station Stan Collymore. They have decided not to his contract which is a euphemism for saying fuck off you deluded twat. Is anti racism fair enough but then claims EVERY Chelsea and Rangers fan are themselves racist. Has a bloody horrible Brummie accent as well. Still he could always go back to acting after his Olivier type performance in Basic Instinct 2 . And here's me thinking they had already shown a cunt in the first Basic Instinct.

I already have accepted that Manchester United and Manchester City are the only clubs who are going to win the premier league for the next 5 seasons and I just don't see good things happening for our club Chelsea with the current club management and the club not spending wisely or correctly due to Stamford Bridge Upgrade Stadium Costs.
