I always felt that Milner was a shrewd addition in terms of seeing our tight games, especially in Europe… in a DM (no real pace required) kind of a role… I rather assumed Roberto would see it that way too…
To play him as an attacking FB against someone (anyone) with a smidgin of pace is...
Roberto has just said the following, via our website:
“This is the worst news today. I think we will lose Solly March for a long time and Danny Welbeck has a muscular problem.”
:(
I think the phrase rhymes with clucking bell.
6 in 7 for top of the league Sporting thus far… I always thought he looked like he might develop into an excellent (strong) forward, but wouldn’t have predicted such a steep upward trajectory…
It’ll be interesting to see if he does get a PL move… it would seem everyone is looking for Haaland 2...
Man it got a bit depressing in this thread after 22 mins or so.
I know, “I kind of lost my shit” is an excuse of sorts BUT come on ! We’re not world beaters, try to enjoy the ride… even if, you know… we get lost in France for a bit… ahem.

“Bonnie, bonnie bonnie… etc. and etc.”
Trade off… eventually we’ll fluke a clean sheet, and this ‘record’ will be a mere footnote in an otherwise balls to the floor emotional rollercoaster of a season.
Crying 😭 one moment punching the air the next… what’s not to like ?
Nil and zero is for pensioners like Roy Hodgson who need to be...
It’s quite a read and a brilliant yet (at times) sad story especially the pressure he must have been under… ultimately I believe we’re lucky to have him, and should he be able to recapture his belief, and full match fitness, well … it could be an awesome year.
Hope he starts tonight and grabs...
I’m one for establishing a rhythm, by swapping players in and out I’m not sure you reduce anything except gradual fatigue… oh and fluidity obviously.
Indeed, paradoxically as you begin to lack rhythm you possibly increase the risk of injury… this is why players coming back from long spells out...
I my lifetime - I think my mum and dad bought me £500 or so back in the 90s… I’ve won about twice… £10 and £50 if I recall… I now have over £1500 invested… but my understanding is that 10k is more like a figure that will see a consistent’ return…
In reality I’d be better off going for a...
And Spurs too, lest we forget.
Yes I appreciate Chelsea are far from alone here… realistically (as I continued in my rant above, post your quote) we’re looking at a cleverly inflated market, virtually ensuring the super league continues, minus the rebrand… well, until things become so farcical...
Given that Chelsea will ensure they have two world class XIs (and the rest) I’d say they’ll be alright…
Bless their little cotton socks.
Spurs might well struggle, but Chelsea will continue to buy everything that moves, especially those motivated by stacks of limitless cash… errrrrr every...
As bad as we were at Villa, we were very unlucky at Chelsea… looked every bit as good if not better than their insanely rich mercenaries… and Cucu was shit in the first half, alas (this time) he got away with it.
Absolutely - it’s a joke that ANY win is considered a ‘shock’
The fact that they’ve struggled represents a monumental failure on behalf of their recent coaches, Poch included…
This Fulham side is light weight and will struggle I expect…
Chelsea will continue to ruin football, until the word...
God I get sick off the good bad narrative in football… lose and you’re a crisis club, win and you’re world beaters…
Fulham in crisis.
Chelsea resplendent, managed by a genius etc.
Genius ? Fulham minus Mitro were always likely to struggle imho, that and Ream is an attackers dReam 😂
