He has been very good recently. A big part of some of our better performances. Long may it continue

Logged in for the first time in a few weeks only to see this terribly sad news. What a loss. So often the voice of reason amongst the madness. RIP

Bonkers game. Great tenacity to get back into it 3 times against a much more fancied opposition. Let's hope we can build on it. Some of our defence is sh*te though. Chilwell can't come back soon enough.

Good result and good to see Sterling and Jackson on the board. Nice to see Sterling in particular confident and firing.

Seen the full replay now. Not a bad performance given the squad. Jackson unlucky not to snag a couple.

He's not worth the fee quoted, but who is these days. I liked his touch in tight spaces and work off the ball. He would have been a nice foil for Enzo but there are other options for less. I am always a fan of shopping at the big clubs. We've had success with Kovacic, Silva recently.

Our American owners keep on delivering I see. Hilarious that it looks like we've spent a zillion dollars and ended up with a worse team than when we started. I wish Pochettino luck.

Shame to see him leave. Excellent contributor, although perhaps the final pass or shot away from being at the very top level. Another genuine midfield star leaving. Hope Enzo is happy to do it all by himself...

Let's hope we can keep him. Frankly he will suit the Pochettino game and it is always good to keep genuine home-grown talent. Can't help but feel the last two seasons have been hard on him in particular. Maybe too much damage has been done.

Always thankful for the winner in the CL final. He sadly was always a square peg in a round hole here. A player who you have to build your team around. Not quite a striker, not quite a number 10 or a number 8. I don't expect him to much at Arsenal. He seems like the reverse of what they need but we'll take their cash and move on.

A very sad day. The last of our true elite core. We'll not see his like again, one of those players that is so unique that you can never replace him like for like. Won everything there was to win with us. Merci.

Me neither goose. He seemed to barely play at Arsenal which might have made him easier to accept than here where we seemed to insist on having to build the entire midfield around him and his inability to run or defend.

What a good day. Spuds got binned and Arsenal completed their bottle job. Even sweeter knowing Jorginho moved there in January when they were top.

All fair points. I say that while also saying he wouldn't have been my first choice this time or last time. But I respect his efforts regardless.

This is a great take. We could have hired Pep or Carlo and still been rubbish because the rot is at board level. Good on Frank for coming in to help. Does nothing to dent him either as a player or a manager here. His 4th place with a transfer ban playing the kids remains one of the most fun Chelsea seasons in recent memory.
