£19m for a 31 year old back up that Arsenal don't even want and to help strengthen our rival. Sickening. How we have fallen as a club. 

The last year has been one of the most underwhelming transfer situations i remember for a while. Imo we have spent a sh*t ton of money and managed to weaken the overall starting 11. 
Morata is nowhere near as good as Costa. 
The manager lost the support of the greatest CB in the league last year, thank god we had Andreas to come in and replace him.
Bakayoko/Barkley/Drinkwater aren't an upgrade over Matic, which is saying a lot when Matic was largely average last season.
We haven't upgraded the RW position when we should have done. 
We haven't upgraded at wing back when we should have.
We're now bringing in ageing Arsenal players, for a manager that won't even be here in little over a year, so that Arsenal can go out and spend £60m on another fantastic striker. 
City are top of the league and still look to improve their starting 11 with Laporte and rumours for Mahrez. We win the league and spend on absolute sh*te. Embarrassing really, but i'm sure people will just say that we're 3rd and shouldn't be so ungrateful.

If Giroud doesn't come here he'll always have a place in the Legion.
 
 
 
 
 

You sound like an Arsenal fan. I would say it different way - 3 years of decent performances and probably some trophies in the sack. In 3 or even 2 years - thank you for your services, good bye. This is how the things are getting done. Stop this dreaming, no one is willing to give time players. Hazard came extremely talanted but he was also integrated in the team immediately. Same for Neymar, Dibala, Sane and so forth. 
All that matters is quality. In this particular moment, Dzeko is at higher level than Mitchy and Morata. 

We are linked with any striker over 5'11, seriously we should just get Heskey out of retirement and be done with it. The only rumour had any truth in it was Dzeko where Roma acknowledged anything, the rest are just media wind ups.

Dzeko please.

[emoji23] The Underappreciated One

Why are we still buying mediocre players from Italy then, that nobody wants?

Yep, but the fixtures have been absolute sh*t for us this season. I see that once again after playing mid week football, we will be playing an early kick off on Saturday. 
I don't think any club has had it as hard as we have with fixtures this season.

Where's Charlie Adam rumor's topic? 

I think those days are long in the past. Sadly we're not big players in the market any more.

Yes, made a couple of very decent saves. But I want to forget the rest of his performance. Every time the ball was lofted into our box I shut my eyes and hoped for the best - pretty much what he did too I expect!!

Nice work, Eden, this is the way stars should act. 

Eden class act gave that young man a day he probably won't forget with his shirt absolutely class

Brilliant moment at the end with Eden giving the kid his shirt.Class.

Chelsea team: Caballero; Azpilicueta (c), Christensen, Rudiger; Moses, Bakayoko, Kante, Alonso; Willian, Batshuayi, Hazard.
 
 
Bakayoko yet again.

Ok, I'm done with Conte. 90 minutes of garbage vs Leicester, 120 minute of trash vs Norwich, these two giants of football, and for reward he gets another 90 minute, because he wont change him, that's for sure. I can't stand this guy Bakayoko, I really cant. What has he done to play, how did he earn his place, tell me, why didn't the stupid media ask him, why don't they put him on pressure. This guy is a complete mess and he is starting fourth in a row, come on man, it's not acceptable. There must be some accountability in this club. 

Me neither.

@RIP Mourinho I don't see holding, pushing, or pulling.  I see arm on shoulder and then falling to the ground.  Very similar to the types of challenges I see all game every game and interpreted the exact same.

 

This one could be debated for ever. We have seen penalties awarded in the past for similar challenges and players won't usually get carded for "diving".
But never a penalty for me. Maybe I'm too old fashioned but I like to see my striker stand up and be strong against defenders, not go down at the slightest touch and whinge at officials whenever he doesn't get a decision. All we can hope is that he learns from this.
