No....fck it....he is a diamond.....it is £100m to everybody.
If they want our prized assets, they are going to have to dig deep. Declan Rice is going to command a massive fee. Why shouldn't Caicedo.
Fck the lot of them.
No. We got way over the odds for Cucurella whatever.
He got his move on the back of one decent half season. City valued him at £30 - 40m and that was top end. He has been found out.
War was the last resort for him but he recognized the terrible danger that most of Europe faced. He fought the appeasers with a passion. He knew that the only way to kill the monster was to cut its head off.
I thought there was a more recent tv debate and Alan Turing came out on top.
We needed the leadership and resolution of Churchill. Desperate times call for desperate measures and some decisions cost lives. That is war. It cannot be replicated. You have to keep looking at the bigger picture. You...
There has been little or no industrial strategy since 1945 and a conscious decision to erode nay destroy our industrial base since 1979. We handed most of our business opportunity to Germany and Japan on a plate and they grabbed it. We have never recovered. Probably, the most disgraceful and...
Well, maybe I have been living in a cave but I wasn't aware of this homophobic chant directed at Chelsea that has resulted in the FA now saying charges can be brought against opposing clubs and fans. Apparently Citeh and Forest fans have sung it recently.
This is going one step too far. By all...
Potter has no consistency as a manager. Take last season. Flying start followed by a long winless run ( 11 games ) Rally over Xmas/New Year followed by six straight defeats. Strong finish.
Its not all down to the fixture list. He chops and changes too much. He seems uncomfortable when he has a...
Just getting sick and tired of turning on the tv and there he is....again and again and again......spouting forth........praising the ' fantastic ' Chelsea fans....' I was a top coach two months ago, I don't know what has changed '.......' we are in this together '....' this is the toughest job...
At the elite level, Potter has no real pedigree as a player or a manager. No trophies. No claim to have achieved real success at a major club. Over 120 PL games he averaged 1.22 pts per game ( over 38 games....46 pts ) With top players, if your career doesn't command respect, then you have to...
Of course he was. The speed at which the whole team moved immediately in the aftermath of Tuchel's departure meant only one thing. All contracts had been drafted already. All due diligence completed already. All domestic situations sorted. Schooling arranged. Everything in place bar the...
Voted indifferent as I always switch off a player or a manager when they leave my beloved club. They are then representing someone else. An opponent. A threat to us. Don't usually spend too much time following their subsequent careers. One or two I have wished well. Most.....Bye...!!
The mass...
Chelsea cannot afford to spend too long out of the CL. One season maximum. So it looks like he could get all this season and then will have to be delivering in 23/24. He won't be given two full seasons.
To suggest that Potter is our greatest ever manager is at the very least disrespectful to others. Mullery got us from tier 3 to the top tier and kept us there after being rock bottom and adrift. Billy Lane managed us for 14 years and when only one club got promoted, secured higher status for...
Almost entirely down to opposition setting up with two, tight banks of four, squeezing our space and generally making it very difficult for us. They know how to frustrate us at home and it often works.
Often forgotten that it took him two whole seasons to better Hughton's best points return by one. I understand that he was re-writing the previous blueprint and this doesn't happen overnight. Last season, the fruits of his labour started to show.
Most of us expected this to be his last season...
