Liam Rosenior - Chelsea Head Coach *Now Sacked*
Have you not watched our games? Sanchez makes exactly the same mistakes only more often. We have two keepers - neither of them are any good. That's not down to LR - that's down to BlueCo. Same when you look at both benches tonight. PSG able to bring on top quality - we have the likes of Delap and Garnacho FFS.

You LOVE thinking you're right. Bore Off.

Estêvão
What's the latest on Estevao? I know he hasn't travelled for the PSG game, but do we have any idea when he might be available again?

Think you're looking into things too deeply. As @GarnachoCheese says above, just be happy that unlike Spurs, we have upgraded our coach.

Wrexham vs Chelsea (FAC) Saturday 7th March 17:45 GMT
Although I agree there is a fair bit of anti-Chelsea bias out there, to be honest I think it would have been the same for majority of bigger PL clubs. Folk love the magic of the FA Cup and a bitt of an upset, and without VAR, that upset could well have happened. The calls were correct, but the offside goal in particular just felt wrong (although I'm of course glad it was given!).

It really was a head scratching appointment and it looks like they could now pay the ultimate price. Earlier in the season, All the Spurs supporters were thinking Poch would go back - that ain't gonna happen now if they're playing in The Championship! If they go down, they could do worse than going for Scott Parker to at least get them straight back up again. He must be itching to get out at Burnley.

It would be hilarious IF Spurs did get relegated, it really would. But I would miss the almost guaranteed 6 points each season and the joy of beating them and rubbing it in with Spurs supporters I know.

Romeo Lavia
It certainly had a whole lot more to do with Kante than it did with Kovacic!!

Cole Palmer signs for Chelsea!
George Benson? Is that just before he broke into a rendition of "Give me the Night.......................?"

Josh Acheampong
With Josh he does have the benefit of being able to play right back. Would start him over Gusto every time when James is being rested. And that's another reason he is worth keeping.
-
Enzo Fernandez - Officially a Blue!
I agree he does have a winning mentality but I still wouldn't class him as a "great" player. He can be decent in some games and he's had his moments, but he does give the ball away far too often and miss places way too many passes for a player in his position. And at times, opponents go past him just like they used to with Jorginho. Good squad player but if all fit, I would go with Caicedo, Santos and Lavia.

Josh Acheampong
Defence wise, I was hoping next season we will keep: Reece, Trev, Josh, Colwill, Sarr, Fofana, Cucurella and Hato but can see at least one of those being sold.
-
Josh Acheampong
After LR's comments above, very disappointing that young Josh hasn't been given decent playing time. I know he is still only 19, but he should be getting more minutes. Makes you wonder who the club are looking to go into next season with? Will Josh go out on loan or will we look to cash in? I hope not, he would be one of the last players I would be looking to sell, but who knows with these owners?

Disagree. I think most fans hate to see a disallowed goal when an attacker is judged to be offside down to his big toe or his arm. Clear daylight will make things a whole lot clearer and better so goals that should never have been ruled out will now stand. I'm all for it TBH.
-
Romeo Lavia
A reminder yesterday of what an absolute beast Lavia can be IF he can stay fit. He has the potential to be our best midfielder. Snaps into tackles like Caicedo and has the vision and passing range of Santos. A fully fit Lavia going into next season would be one hell of a bonus.

Arsenal vs Chelsea (PL) Sunday 1st March 16:30 GMT
Yep, as I said before, IF Arsenal go onto win it this season, as much as they're fans won't care about HOW they won it, we can be smug and tell them they are the worst team to win it for a long time. Their football was sh*te. Even their golden boy Saka was very unimpressive - no way a guaranteed started for England at the World Cup if he continues to perform like that. But they're not alone, there are very few "flair players" playing right now. God, you would quite happily pay the entrance fee to watch the likes of Zola, Joey Cole, Hazard etc. Now you are paying more to see players like Neto, Garnacho and Gusto!!

Robert Sanchez joins Chelsea
As others have pointed out, Sanchez has had a fairly decent season and I think we all thought the keeper issue had slipped down the list of priorities which needed addressing. But then he puts out a timely f**king reminder! Yesterday, other than the horrendous dithering early in the game whenever the ball was at his feet, the thing which annoyed me most was his reaction after the winning goal. You saw his reaction and thought "Ah, hold on, he must have been fouled, hopefully the goal will be chalked off". Only to see the replay where there was no-one f**king near him. Just what exactly was he doing FFS?!!! Don't know how Penders is doing and if he'll be ready for next season but if not, I wouldn't hesitate is signing Pickford or Henderson to replace this clown.

Folk are getting very carried away here. LR won't be sacked this season and we won't be getting Gary f**king O'Neil!!!

Arsenal vs Chelsea (PL) Sunday 1st March 16:30 GMT
It was annoying not to get at least a point. Such fine margins. Before the game, when I looked at the line-up and saw the subs, thought we were just missing Estevao to have a really good chance of nicking a win and so it turned out. All hyperthetical and if, what's and maybe's I know, but imagine we were able to bring on Estevao for Neto after 55-60 minutes.

MOTM vs Arsenal (A) (PL) March 2026
Whole defence (obviously not including Sanchez in that) did well today. Voted Trev, just ahead of Reece.
-
Arsenal vs Chelsea (PL) Sunday 1st March 16:30 GMT
We lost due to yet another Sanchez clanger and then Neto being stupid, reducing us to 10 men. For large parts of the game, we looked comfortable and we should have got a draw and on another day might have nicked all 3 points. Really hope Arsenal don't win the PL, but if they do, it will be comforting to know that they will be the worst PL winners in a long time. Very little flair and totally reliant on set-pieces.

Arsenal vs Chelsea (PL) Sunday 1st March 16:30 GMT
You should switch off for good. Don't need supporters like you. Sure we lost but overall, we were the better side today.
-
Arsenal vs Chelsea (PL) Sunday 1st March 16:30 GMT
More disappointment but overall, I think we looked the better side. That lot rely so much on set-pieces and other than that, they really didn't look all that. Sanchez and Neto lost that for us today, when we deserved at least a draw. Good to see Lavia back. We HAVE to get this guy fit as we will be a whole lot better with Lavia in the side in place of Enzo.

Robert Sanchez joins Chelsea
Sanchez ALWAYS gifts that lot. He reverted to his clown like ways today and once again, it cost us.

Saw that Pickford save against the bar-codes yesterday - quite something and got Everton the 3 points. Really surprised that a "bigger" club hasn't gone in for Pickford over the seasons. I know he has the odd moment but he is one of the best out there.
