  1. How is that foul on Hazard not a red?
  2. Hazard is bloody class and anyone who thinks otherwise is a fool.
  3. Mikel. Playmaker supreme. Jesus.
  4. I just hope Conte is watching the mess that Hiddink is making of things. Some lessons to be learned from watching our pigs’ ear of a performance so far.
  5. How has Ivanovic got a contract extension? What the bloody hell is that about?
  6. Begovic plays like a complete amateur these days.
  7. Christ. That was unbelievably bad. Good luck to Conte. But he's going to need a lot of help over the Summer. Poor sod.
  8. If Hiddink's orders are to play the fringe players to see who's good enough next season, then he's doing us a real favour. Not one of our lot looked remotely like a Premier League player. Not sure too many would even get into a mediocre Swansea side. What a balls up our squad is right now.
  9. Begovic having a nightmare out there.
  10. Yay! An Italian coach. Does that mean we get to sort out our defence and midfield? Good luck, Antonio. Hope the Board gets its act together and backs you – and Emenalo is back to coaching young girls.
  11. Time for a panic appointment. Who’s the managerial equivalent of Papy Djillibodgi?
  12. In previous years he'd have a strong first half of the season then he'd fade badly after Xmas. This was put down to too much football, tournaments, his age, etc. But that's not been the case recently and guess what? His form has been indifferent all of the season. I remember after the two goals against Juve just after he arrived, thinking we've got a world class player on our hands. Just hasn't kicked on. Maybe he's just not cut out for the pace and physicality of the Premier League and Italy would suit him better. However, Conte is a known admirer so it wouldn't surprise me if he's still here next season.
  13. Yep... ’Since October 2014 Chelsea have spent upwards of £100m on Loïc Rémy, Radamel Falcao, Nathan, Juan Cuadrado, Danilo Pantic, Asmir Begovic, Baba Rahman, Pedro, Papy Djilobodji, Michael Hector and Pato, a candidate for most scattergun 18-month spending splurge in the history of all football everywhere. Chuck in 31 loan players, £100m of talent orbiting the club like dislocated souls, a zombie-swarm of 60 first-team players waiting to greet Antonio Conte on his first day. It is tempting to wonder what the plan really is here.’
  14. It's comical on one level. But on another level it's downright worrying that we seem to be run by a bunch of clueless muppets. If I was Conte I'd think twice before committing to anything that leaves Emenalo and Roman in charge of player recruitment.
  15. Michael Emenalo does it again. He’s really on a roll. Anyone know what Ronaldinho is up to next season? There's going to be a striking vacancy by the looks of it.
  16. Chelsea have had 12 managers in 13 years... is it any wonder they have no philosophy? http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-3490640/Chelsea-12-managers-13-years-wonder-no-philosophy.html
  17. Had to be Lukaku to end our season. I think this is what you call karma.
  18. Pitch is a nice shade of green. Must rain a lot up there. When's the football starting?
  19. No Costa by the looks of it. Or Hazard. Not sure if Pedro will recover in time. We'll do well to get a draw and get them back at the Bridge.
  20. Costa led by example. When he limped off, the game was done and everyone knew it.
  21. Ah well. You felt once Costa went off that it was over. Players heads seemed to drop. At least we'll be able to concentrate on the league now. Oh wait...
  22. Shocking start. What were we thinking? We looked like rabbits in the headlights. We've come back well but we've made it really hard. Got to keep going at that level of intensity we showed after conceding. We might just wear them down in the end.
  23. Great goal by Diego. Credit to Pedro for setting it up.
  24. We don't look very solid at the back. Not sure Kenedy at left back was the wisest move.
  25. First time I've really seen Imbula and he was very good. Him and Payet must've been some pairing at Marseille.
