I dont know how the club can even remotely justify continuing to pay these ludicrous prices for players anymore unless the owners are washing money through our club... and the more we do this the less ridiculous this claim is to make. It looks like dodgy Russian money has simply been replaced by Dirty American money. Just my opinion but something about our dealings just doesnt sit right with me the past 18 months.

Probably play a handful of games be called up by England get injured and be back for us next January. Proper world class player, but hope he puts his club career over England aspirations for the next 12 months.

I'd like to say we'll be injury free next season but it's been a league wide problem this year for many clubs. Just putting it down to too much football, not enough recovery times and a World Cup over xmas period plus there is all the international travel. Fingers crossed the club works out a solution.

Got to feel for the guy... he must be as frustrated as us fans...

Really dont care about Celtic/ rangers/ sectarian nature of that divide. Pretty ugly imo... As is the tribalism with Poch who isn't like Benitez who rubbished the club while at an arch rival. Unless I missed any of Poch's comments while he was at spurs.

that include F**k Sarri ball? 🙂

Not sure finances will allow. Would certainly have Fofana as a number two. Also, the forgotten man of Nkunku is yet to get meaning full minutes and he's not really integrated into the Side either. Think money, if we have any, is better spent elsewhere tbh... Anyhow, it's good he's doing it in the Prem and we get a look at him. Interestingly we had a bid in for Awonyi before deadline closed. Injury prone but leads a line really well and has a pretty good goal to mins ratio.

what if Fofana comes back and we move Jackson more out wide or rotate the pair of them? Can honestly see the hustle and bustle and pressing so needed to the side tbh... We were in for Awonyi at Forrest before the transfer window shut. Certainly would add a different dimension to us attacking wise as he has a bit of pace and can hold the ball up. But really happy with Jackson... I'd like to see fofana given a run out with us, think the pair could work well together.

Perhaps fans need to reset their expectations then? Imagine if players like gusto decide they'd rather play for a club with fans who dont boo their teammates. I am trying to think of other clubs where fans have turned on their players... im struggling right now to think of many if any examples.

So when you get all hysterical about poch because he was once the manager of.... nah.. not going there some folk on here just not worth the effort.

Best thing Sterling can do is just keep playing his game and chill out. Lovely touch from Gusto and support is a far stronger way to get players back into form. He must be desperate for an England recall, is probably as much frustrated at his own form as us, and is over compensating and trying to hard to force things.

In game fan management... next level troll unlocked. What are the last five results... I suggest going back to being your other username on here. 😉

Id rather go through next season with the same manager and players and see if anything develops - If the same thing happens next year, so be it, we can make a change next season. No reason to sack a manager who has the players behind him and are showing improvements... Jackson has been absolutely blasted on here this season... Turns out he's done pretty well stepping up in intensity and physicality of the prem... He's improved. Palmer.. Said from day one, Big.Game.Player. he's thriving in the system poch has him playing in. Disasi... Sometimes a disaster, but a really likeable player with heart and passion. Christ we need it.. Gusto... Nuff said, going to be a huge player for us... Is it his natural talent or is he playing in a system that allows him to showcase his talent? Gallagher... Been an essential cog for the side. Caicedo... Wondered what we signed at first, but he is turning into a battleship in midfield for us, he is kicked and kicks all over the park. Again, growing into the role he's been given that is different to his use at Brighton. Enzo... Ye to find a level of consistency. Sterling... Yet to find consistency, defended him at the start of the season and will continue to do so while he wears the blue... Can be really frustrating but never hides and despite the boos, clapped fans when subbed.... As legend Pat Nevin said on 5live, supporters clapped him back... Not everyone is a bully or twat for booing him. think we're also starting to see Mudryk coming good... Noni, just love an unpredictable left footer... No one batted an eye about Robbens inability to defend or track back, made Jose go grey. given the injuries outside this core group which would have added to squad depth over the season, having one recognised striker in Jackson. Im happy with the way it's going so unless there is a massive drop off between now and end of the year, cant see why he wouldn't continue as manager or why the board would get rid. But then ive not spent 1 billion on redeveloping CFC and my views dont matter. I have no name I'd bring in right now given the gamble of breaking an emerging team spirit. Im sure you'll think differently. Look forward to the FA cup Semi final

Not really a surprise. Win, Loose or draw, poch will get it from fans on social media. I guess it was the colour of his shoes that upset them yesterday. We're actually in the semi final of another cup competition... We won 4-2 in a cup game where upsets are caused by smaller sides, otherwise known as underdogs. If we hadn't conceded the own goal the game would have been very, very different. And despite conceding two goals, he makes subs that eventually change the game, which fyi, is played over 90 mins... The players are playing for him and is liked by them... that's enough for me as I think we're starting to make progress under him. But that progress must be horrible to see for some fans... A semi final against city to look forward to, brilliant stuff. Well done Poch and the boys....

Or I know what ages go first to the eastern front. 😉 It's all been decided.

talking about you drinking and sh*t posting, its hilarious, carry on...

See you in the trenches... wrap up warm.

And what is untrue about that? Where and what country did Roman's money come from? Who allowed him and other oiligachs to make all that money? Answers on a postcard to Alex Navalny in a Siberian gulag.... oh wait, look what happens to those who oppose the Russian state...

Another faux outrage guy... what about any of the above isn't true or factually inaccurate about the club's history? I haven't linked Roman to the Ukraine invasion - the UK government did and hence why we have new owners. Roman denies his steel is used in Russian tanks currently in Ukraine. Think about it. I didnt abuse children while visiting the football club, a CFC coach did that, the club paid out compensation very recently, under Roman just six years ago. So FYI, since posting that we could face a points deduction, the rules may be about to change and an amnesty brought in for clubs. Subject to the sanctions the club could be found guilty of we could be relegated with a massive points deduction... especially if we dont or didnt get enough points. Hit the block button huh? 😉

Sorry pal. As I said you made me laugh... After everything you've said about the guy in charge of the club you support, it boils down to appearance. It's a cheap shot and try Make observations like that about someone with a disability and see where it gets you. Keep drinking and posting bud, gives me a laugh...

Wind it in? "Im a better fan because I love poch? Keep me giggling mate. honestly it was a brilliant comment this morning... I guess hungover from celebrating the win last night. Basically, sack a manager because of how he looks on the touchline. Pure comedy... Ive not said I love poch at any stage, Ive defended him and the club and pointed out that you need stability to build a team which is where we find ourselves. I dont love him or any manager. They do a job.. But six months isn't a time frame to do a job or implement ideas. Read my posts again if you like. If only we still had the dog track and cars behind the goal... jumpers for goal posts and managers who abuse players on the touchline, or dressing room... the good ol days... Now that's some dark twisted humour. https://www.football.london/chelsea-fc/chelsea-apologise-terrible-crimes-committed-20204269

Cole Palmer is making Manchester City's decision to buy Doku look ridiculous. Shoe in for England and is fast approaching Eden Hazards debut season stats for us, three goals away already equalled assists.... Big.Game.Player

three points and ive split my sides laughing at the comments thanks for making my morning. Can we create another thread and call it "Poch triggers man child's into meltdown thread" - DWK gets the award this morning for most bitter comments based on how a person looks standing on the sidelines. Wonder if the club can dismiss a manager on the grounds of how he stands on the touchline... Priceless... it's absolute comedy. Have a great day ya'll

A reputation hard earned from his days at Barca. The chief shagger.. His players also seem to get his vibe. The Benjamin Mendy case was grim reading for footballer behaviour, there's also the conviction of Dani Alves, and lets not forget Kyle Walker... Anyhow, I call him the slap headed sex pest.

He is playing in a team certain for the drop who have struggled all season and is creating and scoring - we kept Broja and the man is a goal shy striker, this guy looks hungry and up for it.
