We've had nearly four years to get use to it 😉 😂 (Ampadu was the first).

Oh god, it's worse than I thought, I wish you hadn't said that...

Happy Birthday to Billy. 20 years old today.🍻

I can't believe someone was born in a year that starts with 20 who plays senior professional football at my club 

But...but...he's Kepa's hair guru!

Never trust a man in a cap was my Dad's. Not sure why.

My advice to myself is Stay clear of men in red pants. In football I've extended this to Loathe every team in red. 

OK, enough....

Yes, good morning indeed

This is taking a disturbing turn... This is still the CL final 2021 thread, isn't it, not the Silence of the Lamb thread 

I didn't get the option to use paypal as a guest. I suppose I have to continue to slip @Mod Stark a tenner now and then for my special privileges 

Finally confirmation we really, really won: my commemorative mug arrived today

Spurs still no closer to signing a manager. No idea where they go after Conte said no. 

Neither do they, probably.

In my local pub there was a sweepstake for the Euros. I've drawn Spain. Another Chelsea fan has drawn France and another has drawn Belgium. A fair chance that one of us will win first prize?

France is I think many people's favourite. It's mine anyway, and hopefully Oranje get eleminated at the first opportunity, so we'll be free from the usual sickening orange-themed muck and commercials. Honestly, it's cringe-worthy.

Come on North Macedonia, you can do it!

Nah. Where are the stars for winning the Premier League (and its predecessor)?!

Fantastic, the man is a bona fide club legend.

Nobody has even mentioned Zaha yet, somehow I feel bereft

I think it's going to have to be a complete redesign. There needs to be some kind of spare a thought campaign for these hard workers

 

Now we know why the club pulled out of the Super league plans: no room on the wall.

More RSJ's for the floor please.

I had to google that, and now I know what it means , I feel a bit like a Spurs supporter

It is a bit like this one:

Reports from my imagination have claimed to seen the successful cloning of a prime Didier Drogba, who has now signed a multi year deal lead Chelsea's front line next season.

Others rumours have stated that a Gianfranco Zola clone is well on his way to completion. However the club abandoned plans for  a chopper harris clone with VAR not willing to offer him exception status for his...unique style of play...

Any reports on a Cudicini clone? Asking for a friend...

I think we can conclude that Tuchel is letting the American market down big time by not starting Pulicic every match. Thankfully Matt Miazga may get his umpteenth shot at impressing the manager during the pre-season and save US soccer.

This is about as highly entertaining as a pundit can be! Although he's more a supporter than a pundit, which makes it even better. If watching this doesn't make you smile broadly, get measured up for your coffin.

It's started ... 7 players on the released list

https://www.premierleague.com/news/2163104

Thanks chaps and good luck in the rest of your career, life etc

• Jamal Blackman
• Izzy Brown
• Willy Caballero
• Declan Frith (who ? 🙂 )
• Danilo Pantic
• Marko Van Ginkel
• Jack Wakely

 

Ryan Bertrand released by Southampton, somehow I missed that earlier. Hopefully he won't have any problems finding a new club.

Our list is very modest compared to that of other clubs, but in view of the many unfamiliar names, those are mainly loanees or academy graduates.

Pretty much. He also seems like a generally great guy to have around.

Plus surely brings in no end of female fans...

There's a fine calf in those socks, that's all we care about in life...

If we can't buy a top goal scorer, this is a good option, especially if Abraham goes on loan or gets sold.

Reports out of London are that Chelsea are trying to unload 11 players now - with Pulisic being the marquee player in that group. Seems I might not be too far off on my thoughts after all.

When he's actually been sold, you can claim your victory, until then 'reports out of London' are nothing more than just rumours.

Very nice. Great, in fact
