And hopefully we will play like we have something to play for..

7 years is a long time without a league win...

 

It feels like years since we actually comfortably beat one of the top sides in the league.

A ‘True Blue’: Why Madonna attended Chelsea’s Conference League game against Legia Warsaw

If you walk along the King’s Road on your way to Chelsea’s Stamford Bridge, there is every chance you may spot a famous face.

Chelsea, part of the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea in south-west London, is home to the rich and famous, with fancy boutiques, luxury cars and multi-million pound houses aplenty.

It is also home to Chelsea Football Club, one of the most successful English teams in the Premier League era, and a side that has a fanbase that includes plenty of star-studded names, such as Steve McQueen, Matt Damon, Timothee Chalamet and Gordon Ramsay.

Even Bill Clinton, the former U.S. president, is said to be a fan, having attended games at Stamford Bridge during his time at Oxford University in the 1960s and has a daughter named Chelsea.

Had to look cause curious.

Last time we won against Liverpol 2018

Arsenal 2021..2-0 so guess comfortably. Only twice since 2019..

City also 2021..2-1. I remember 6-0 I was there but that's going back many many many many years

If count Man U then before last year was 2017..

Not amazing

Wow! It's worse than I imagined. I still remember our fixture against Arsenal last season where we were cruising until Sanchez decided to take the headlines.
