I know I shouldn't say this on here but we deserve the lead. Conte has allowed us dictate the second half.

Ironically it was our own and beloved Jose that started the trend of prioritising athleticism. Some brave souls in these parts referred to it as the death of football.

Early days, and difficult to rate given the opposition, but there did appear to be some new patterns and an increase in the speed of passing. Would love to see Caicedo/Santos become a regular partnership. Liam has clearly been on this forum. Not wearing the puffer jacket is an obvious attempt to curry favour with @just. Lovely to see that the forum has also entered a new era. This is the first game thread for some time where neither a player, or a member of the coaching staff, has been referred to as a c**t. Long may that continue.

😀 I always thought quoting oneself because you made a lucky guess should be banned. The new guy can talk there's no denying that. I think we should give him some time. Of course if we don't beat Charlton 6-0 it is open season on the receding, sight-impaired, bigoted, left-wing, Trump-hating, woke, fraud c**t.

Reminds me of Bluenut's test of Chelsea fanhood - Did you cry when Jose left? I've had a JT air freshener hanging off my cars for about 15 years. To annoy my daughter I drew 3 little tears escaping from his eyes. Some people love the camera and John is one of them. I've mellowed somewhat in my sixties so would likely not able to see him cry for the tears in my eyes.

Santos for me. Looks really classy Neat and tidy at all times.

Man of the Match Santos. First class from him

Toothy, unusually umbillicoused, fraud c**t

Would like to see Delap get a run

For sure. Receding hairline and borderline blind by the looks of it. Fraud c**t

Thankfully the bald fraud c**t is gone. I like my Chelsea managers to be alpha males so I can man crush on them. I'm surprised that the bald fraud c**t turned his back on 14 million, probably in a fraudulent, hairless, c**ty attempt to appear to have principles. Happily we got what what we wanted, although the next guy looks as if the hairline is beginning to recede. I'm also worried about the glasses, unless it's a fashion statement. Hopefully the receding, blind, fraud, yesman, c**t turns out ok. We should pile in on him anyway just in case.

Beautifully worked free kick. Looks like we're bringing home the 2-2. Masterclass from Maresca.

Only positive is Palmer and Estavao linking up. How is Alex Scott allowed to play for Bournemouth. Box-ticking woke nonsense.

Great intensity. Need to keep that up.

Well deserved

We are well on top. The old adage applies - you've got to score when you're on top

Caicedo is a proper, proper player

Competing well just lacking quality

We need to start quickly and impose ourselves - get the crowd behind us. An absolute must win game tonight.

Sorry Val I'm not having Bixing Day. We call it St. Stephen's Day here in the civilised world (although we pronounce it Stephenses Day)

It's my birthday tonorrow. Usually there is a Chelsea game on. This year my daughter is insisting we watch Stranger Things. So at least I get to spend time wirh Vecna - another bald, fraud c**t

You, on the other hand, are clearly a sweetheart.

He's growing on me.

What's with the fingers in the ears celebration?

I think we all know the signal for the near post corner by now.
