Have you not realised that Bob is an all knowing oracle at this point?

Tuchel made a point of ciriticising Southgate when he got the job, saying how he knows what were missing and how to get us playing to win. He then did everything Southgate used to do multiplied by 10, I would love to see Southgate come out and just say "Hey Tuchel, f**k you"....

I agree. He looked quite flat-footed and just not that great in general.
If we are going to throw any money at Palace, just make it for Adam Wharton.

It's interesting how every World Cup winning manager is a home grown.
A foreign manager has never won a World Cup before. There's something in that I suspect.

I have always liked TT and do rate him as a top coach but boy did he f**k up and lose us that game last night. What happened after we went 1-0 was totally inexcusable. Such negative tactics that totally backfired and was Gareth Southgate level of coaching.
Also think Harry Kane needs to hang up his boots at international level. He might be a great goal scorer but he had another really poor tournament and at 33, his legs look gone at this level. Hate the fact he stays on when the side was crying out for someone who could actually run.

Don't want a single Argentinian in the squad, cancel the deal and let Strasbourg sell him to someone else.

After his showing against Spain they'd be doing us a favour. Lacroix worries me.

Pretty much the way I feel - if TT doesn't walk, I think they should fire him. No coming back from a cock up like that - especially when one of the main reason for appointing him was to avoid that sort of low level negative approach.
Should have kept the attack going after they got the goal and given Saka, Rashford/Toney etc. a chance if it wasn't happening ... instead they tried to park the bus in front of Messi, ffs... all that did was give him a chance to get into the game - dumber and dumber.
Forgot:
The other really dumb thing he did was take off Gordon - who was our "out" because he didn't have the balls to take off Kane who, and I quote "recorded zero touches in the opposition's penalty box during the whole 90'" - what else can you say?

From the rockford files? Sure. Absolutely.

RIP Ken Bates.
CFC supporters will always have a lot to thank him for. Didn't always agree with him but you had to respect the man.

I do. Really like him as player and he should be there at the World Cup as don't see too many who can pick and thread a pass like he does. English too of course. Not being xenophobic but I like the idea of having more of a British contingent like we used to with JT, Lamps, Ash & Joey etc. Fed up of seeing the likes of Gusto, Cucurella and Enzo going down too easily.

Talks more sh*te than Tony Adams after 12 pints and 7 whisky chasers

Goals aside Harry Kane is such a f**king whinger

A very sad day for the club.
Always loved Ken. Sometimes a loose cannon and polarising at the best of times, but I always appreciated his no nonsense approach and the way he acted in the club's best interests.
He took on the club at its lowest ebb in the early 80s, laid much of the foundations that modernised Chelsea in the 90s and early 00s and turned it into the powerhouse it was under Roman.
A life well lived. RIP Ken.

Just seen Ken Bates has passed away, he was a divisive figure, but for all the bad things he did after he did save the club and built the CPO. RIP Ken.

Mbappe is good but he will never be as good as Messi (at his peak).

Yeah, same.
I liked Santos as he looked decent at times but then also had games where he looked average and had a habit of switching off and losing his man. But as you say, we have a whole load of deadwood we need to get rid of before Santos, but then getting rid of said deadwood is probably easier said than done.
