Might as well practice for when we're at Wembley, Tom

Come on Chels ! Lets get a few goals & get the job done quick so we can start bringing players off and resting them for Liverpoo

I see David Moyes is of to a good start.

Well, gonna be strange not seeing Italy play in a world cup. Gigi buffon announced after the game that it was his final game for his country. I feel like if this was England everyone would be laughing their arses off!

Spurs. People can differ individually but as a whole it's tottenham. Liverpool are arrogant & pathetic but I'd be more pissed if spurs won the league, my god I'd probably go into hiding.

Aparrently Danish national coach, Åge Hareide, thinks that Christensen would make a good defensive midfielder. That would at least give us more options...

So if these local residents get 3,000 seats then really the majority of the capacity increase won't be for supporters. Can't imagine then that the atmosphere will get any better in the slightest. That's about 12 - 13,000 seats that won't be going to serious supporters. Those people will be as productive to the atmosphere as empty seats so, at best, there's gonna be at 48 - 47,000 of us. It's going to be a tough 4 years wherever we go.

Correct me if I'm wrong but i'm 90% sure if you buy a bottle of water in the concourse you also get them served to you with the bottle cap taken off. I say this because, humorously, a few years ago I got to one of those pre season friendlies and payed a stupid amount for some water that I had to put under my seat to avoid spilling it every-bloody-where...

And I think back in the 13/14 season, towards the end of November, city were actually something like 9 points behind Arsenal if I remember correctly.

Shame that another international break is probably going spoil our momentum after a massive win. Imagine, as a player, buzzing after beating man u to only have to play a meaningless friendly the next week. And then by the next league game that feeling has probably numbed.

Any actual football supporter hates them with a passion. When I was there on Sunday I was surprised by the the number of tourists that were taking selfies of themselves holding up a chelsea/man u half and half scarf... I expect there to be tourists at games that don't go on points but I couldn't understand how there was so many on Sunday when you needed at least 22 pts, that's at least 5 games you would have to go to. So these people shouldn't have been able to get the bridge in the first place, I wonder how they manged it? Then again I had to sit in the West Upper (since person I went with had less points & I had to wait later than I would've done to get the seats together) so I shouldn't be surprised but I just assumed there would be more fans in the same position as me and sat there because all other stands were singles/sold out.

But this is not a knee-jerk reaction or decision, it has been on my mind and it has been thoroughly discussed amongst friends and colleagues that this is what I wanted to do..." Not a sudden choice to quit then

Pirlo to replace Emanelo... and Emanelo to replace Slaven Bili?, obviously

My question is why now? We are not involved in a current transfer window, and it's been a while since August. My judgement is reserved now but it's never normally brilliant to loose anyone in the middle of a season.

There dies the "Emenalo secretly wants the Chelsea manager job" conspiracy theory. I have no clue how good of a thing this is. We have won 3 titles, an fa cup, league cup & CL and EL trophies with him in the role of technical director. He might have appeared slimy but you can't say the club hasn't had success.

Well that prediction escalated quickly..

Apparently Roma have the best defensive record in Serie A, so at their ground I wouldn't be surprised to see another draw or few goals. Feel like as we're going into the game stronger than last time a 1-0 win would be very possible... but we'll probably have to grind it out.

I think we've improved judging by today's performance. Although it felt like we could've scored more I was comfortable this game that we weren't going to concede. A solid performance is what we got & really needed. Very happy. Bring on Roma now...

Almost 2 hours of "technical difficulty" Wonder why they couldn't manage to go live on twitter when 13 year olds can do it on their smart phones...

Another home game, can't complain

Overall I'm happy with the performance tonight. Our passing was getting to me but Everton didn't play as well as I expected. Was good that we still won and was able to play some youngsters. Drinkwater got 60 minutes and actually the game got a little worse when he came off. Looking forward to the draw tomorrow. Bristol sounds nice! Biggest concern is our struggle when teams press us, hopefully we fix that problem soon...

https://www.standard.co.uk/sport/football/thibaut-courtois-chelsea-players-fighting-to-save-antonio-conte-from-jose-mourinho-fate-a3665066.html If this is true hopefully it shows that this story about a "player revolt" that the media has been brewing is completely fabricated... Like how Courtois also admits we've been training less this season. There's no logical reason why any player would suddenly detest Conte's training methods.

Can't realistically be enough time change anything significantly, so we should still be able to control the game... Unless, of course, the Everton players were just God awful to push Koeman out the door.

So now that Ronald Koeman has gone a Barcelona-esque performance from them is totally likely to happen.

If you're a decent Chelsea fan you would want to win against United.
