You know what is the dumb part, we probably would be fighting for top 4 with that front 2.

Two votes for Lukaku then.

Welcome aboard mate !

That made me laugh!!!
I'm from in-between Newcastle and Sunderland, but my crew mates at work are from Durham and they struggle to understand a word I say 😳😂. 

I live up north but I've supported Chelsea for the past 7 years .. before supporting Chelsea I only really followed football as a social event, watching England/Sunderland/South Shields... 
The day I fell in love with football was the first time I watched a Chelsea match. From that moment they were my club and football was no longer just a social event. I became a blue and will be for the rest of my life.
It's not just London that's blue, I paint it everywhere I go!!!

It’s Bob Mortimer, yes you should!
I’m a big fan of his podding co-host and Sunderland’s hardest working c**t in podcasting, Mr Andrew Dawson 

Whoa Black Betty, KAlanaM!

Exactly. He is the manager that potter should have been, in terms of hes there to help steady the ship and lay a foundation and help sorting out the squad, and once that was done we upgrade to a top class manager. Unfortunately due to specific circumstances (not all potters fault) it didnt work out, and now Pochettino is in charge of that job.
I dont see Pochettino as a long term appointment, hence why the rumours are its a 3 year deal, possibly even 2 with an option as I think he will never be good enough to be at the top top level. But for a rebuild job, he is a great appointment

very happy that its Pochettino we have for now, hes the ideal person to sort of stabilise the team again and build a good foundation. His serial loser gene will never leave him, so once he has done his job of building a good foundation in the next 1-2 years we can upgrade to someone like De Zerbi
At the moment going for the big names isnt going to help, we need a proven manager that can build and lay foundations

There’s got to be a “how much is he getting paid” poll, a “how long is the contract” poll and a “how long will he last” poll as a minimum. 

I quite liked the idea of building something with Potter and finally stopping the hiring and firing. That clearly didn’t work out, but I feel like this is the time we’re actually going to build a team since Mourinho 1.0. Someone posted the other day about how we’ve papered over the l cracks since perhaps 2010, and I think that’s true. Pochettino seems like the right fit, throw in a GK, CM, and ST and we’re on a solid path.
I am however, always an optimist 😂

Greetings from the Netherlands!
I love the English premier league. When I was a kid and started watching football on TV I was in the golden era of Chelsea with Drogba and Mourinho, I still try not to miss a single Chelsea match, so I decided to become part of the community

Welcome on! A good few of your country(wo)men around here, including the forum hostess @Valerie
