Jose channeling his inner Drogba
 

Funny you say that, I’m seeing him in 2 weeks time on a stag do! I’ll get him nice and sloshed and will extract the necessary information regarding GTA 6!
 
Nah it’s simpler and way more intuitive. 

Very happy to get rid of him. He has talent but his injury record is awful. That coupled with the fact whenever he HAS been fit managers have stayed clear of him like the plague; says it all. Good riddance. 

Needs the move. I like him but hes far too inconsistent and with his injury problems as well i fail to see him hitting lockdown levels again.
 
 

Thats done!

Yes please! I am Blueblur and have been for years now! 

Mudryk and Madurke are starting 

Saw it on Twitter- that’s actually me posting from a very old account- didn’t realise I was logged in as that one when I tried the web app…

Mudryk and Madurke are starting 

Hogwarts Legacy, although incredibly fun and spectacular on next gen console, was such an easy game bar the final boss. Pissed through it. 
They really need to start releasing DLCs soon. 

My expectations are neither high nor low. I've been waiting for a Hazard replacement since he left...not having one player who can dig us out of a hole is really killing my love of the team...
But at least Jorginho won't be our top scorer next season. 

I’m a year older than you and started supporting Chelsea at the same age- I absolutely remember what it was like being outside the top 4 and not winning much apart from the FA cup etc.
The entitlement from football fans drives me up the wall, it’s one of my biggest bug-bears. 
Pochettino has a huge job on his hands, since it looks like he’s all but confirmed. I don’t expect us to win anything or challenge for the top 4 for a few seasons.

The problem is the entitlement from many of our fans. They have only known success. I'm 34 and started supporting Chelsea when I was 8 years old, so I at least knew the times we were outside of top four or challenging for a title.
Nowadays younger fans think we should be winning a big trophy every season. It doesn't work like that. Arsene Wenger used to say making top four was like winning a trophy and I agree.
Just because we are Chelsea, doesn't mean we are entitled to be in the top four or win a trophy every season. Fans of other clubs would bite our hands off for the trophy cabinet we've had in the past five years, let alone the last 20+. 

It’s going to be Pochettino isn’t it 

Have to admit, beating Tottenham next year with Pochettino in charge would be pretty funny 

Should have never hired Potter in the first place, guarantee had we gone for Pochettino we would be at least in the top 6-8 maybe top 4. We would have seen some progression in the way we play along with individual development. 
Those that are hating on Pochettino are either highly bias because of his Spurs time or are taking their disain for the board out on him. 
I promise we could do a lot worse than Pochettino. Huge upgrade on Potter, with so much more experience in the elite level of football. 
Created a recognisable and entertaining style at Southampton and led them to 8th place. Fun fact aside from his first season 14/15 (a great season for us) in which he took Spurs to 5th (one place higher than their previous season 6th) every other single season he was at Spurs they finished in the top 4.
So 4/5 seasons he had them in the Champions League and considering the only year he didn't was his first year I think that's quite impressive. Even more impressively the only time they were 4th was his final season he managed two 3rd place finishes and one 2nd place finish.
He took Spurs to their highest point total in the EPL 86 points 16/17 season (another great season for us). He was also the coach that ended our 13 winning streak that season not even by a draw but by defeating us and tactically it was an impressive win. He identified a weakness and exploited it. Took Spurs to their first and only UCL final beating Pep's Man City and probably the most entertaining side in the competition ETH's Ajax in the process. 
Helped develop Son, Kane, Dele Ali and Eriksen all into top players during his tenure. Took them to a league cup final like Mourinho (before he was sacked the week of) and coincidentally lost to Mourinho's blues (as I'm sure you remember  14/15 was a good season for us).
Knocked out Bayern in the UCL in his first half season as PSG coach not spoken about enough since Bayern were the current holders at the time. Lost to Pep in the semi finals which is no shame. The next season they lost to a Madrid side that just wouldn't die. I would argue the capitulation can't be all his fault. His keeper and defenders threw that go back and watch it no coach has control over that.
The dude won 3 trophies in 1 and a half seasons in charge, which is an impressive rate since thats what Tuchel did for us,  sure the UCL is much more valuable than Ligue 1, but you get the idea.
By all means dislike the guy, dislike the board but don't make out he's not a good coach or he's not good enough for us. Where we're at right now, we're crying out for a top coach and if you can't see Pochettino is a top coach you're either heavily bias or have questionable understanding of elite tactics and coaching.
On a final note if you consider the budget he worked with at Spurs especially compared to his rivals and the fact he achieved relative success i.e consistent top 4. This all screams top quality coach.

In terms of building and shaping the squad, Mo Po will be ideal I think. Lots of youngsters and raw ability. Could be a good fit for the squad. 
 
Likely where he will fall down is winning trophies and this where the fans might get frustrated. 
 
At this stage, we need Mo Po to take the job. Everyone else has either pulled out/deemed not good enough. 

It's like the Grand National....

I LOVE the Raid films. The various fights in the hallway of the tower block in the first one, and the kitchen fight in the second one are SUPERB. Best action sequences I've every seen.

We will f**king beat Arsenal in their own ground and burry their title hopes and then destroy City in the UCL Semis and the mighty Blues will have the final laugh. You heard it here first. Pin this post.
