Guus Hiddink - New (old) Chelsea-manager
We're talking about the England job, do keep up.

Oscar - Little Diamond
If we are playing a 3-5-2 I don't think there is any chance there is a place for him in the squad unless Hazard leaves. He couldn't really play as one of the two deeper midfielders and that #10 role will surely be kept for Hazard, or if he is out, Fabregas.

Guus Hiddink - New (old) Chelsea-manager
I want someone who can firmly stick the boot up an ass, Guus doesn't strike me as that sort of manager, but that is what our princesses need.

Following Our Nearest & Dearest Rivals, 2016/2017
In law, that level of stupidity is called gross negligence, something normal people would go to jail for when it involves these sums of money.

Nice of his accountant to save him all those millions of dollars without asking him to, i'm sure he loved risking his career, reputation and jail by defrauding someones taxes without even being asked or them even knowing about it!

Antonio Conte - Now Officially Manager
What Chelsea fans need is for the club to back a manager over petulant players. If they don't like his methods or his tactics then they can sod off as far as i'm concerned.

The Euro 2016 Thread
Yes I think Portugal are more capable of competing with Germany than Wales. Wales have stuck to their game plan well so far but if they go behind and are forced to come out, they will get obliterated by their ruthless efficiency. The Euro 2012 final was dreadful and I don't want a repeat.

The Euro 2016 Thread
Wales should be proud to have made it this far, but I must say I hope Portugal win in the hope the final isn't an absolute slaughter.

So he doesn't go to jail because the sentence is only 21 months...all sentences less than 24 months in Spain are suspended. Convenient choice of time then, given that the judge could have given him up to 5 years. I suppose millions of dollars isn't enough to warrant a proper sentence. Once again the rich and famous get a slap on the wrists for something i'm sure a regular Joe would be behind bars for. Absolute scumbag, one of the highest paid sportspeople in the world and didn't pay tax in a country going through extreme economic difficulty.

Michy Batshuayi to Chelsea
Goal #19 was very Drogba-esque.

Pelle
I'd take Remy over him all day long.

Baba Rahman - The heir to Ash?
In all seriousness he was dreadful every time I watched him, yes its absurd that we spent such a large sum of money on a player to be loaned out to a side like Burnley, but you're forgetting that essentially what we do these days is overpay for average players then send them away on loan. See: Cuadrado, Salah, Marin, Moses, Djilobodji, Hector.

Exactly, I still have trouble sleeping at night wondering whether Franco Di Santo could have been the next Maradona.

Michy Batshuayi to Chelsea
Just googled him, and The Guardian is saying Palace have signed him, and the Mail and Independent saying Spuds have signed him, with Sky saying West Ham are closing in on him. Anyway, if true, interesting we're signing a young Belgian striker for almost the same amount as we sold our own, more prolific, young Belgian striker. Progress eh? Also, would a big money striker coming in suggest that we're going to play a 3-5-2?

The Euro 2016 Thread
I think he would have performed better than Sturridge or Wilshere did today but its a minor point in relation to what I was trying to say in my comment, that we are a team full of players that don't want to take responsibility for anything, and I think Milner was one of the few players in the squad I would have trusted to really put his hand up and get stuck in.

The Euro 2016 Thread
Graeme Souness' comments on Bein after the game summed it up for me. The players have minimal responsibility, minimal cares, they live in a gilded cage with their huge contracts detached from reality, they don't go to tournaments thinking about not letting the country down, they go into tournaments hoping they look good and make a name for themselves. And as he said, in a few weeks time when they are back in their mansions and at their Premier League clubs, none of them will care about this anymore. Really its a similar situation to what happened with us last season. A lot of Roy's decisions were terrible; Kane taking set pieces, Milner not playing a second of football, both Kane and Sturridge being selected ahead of Vardy, going to Wilshere as a first option off the bench. But as per usual, I think he's going to be the sole scapegoat, maybe Hart as well for his string of calamitous errors, but again the players get away with being useless bottlers. And it will only keep happening until we find a way to make players more responsible for their carelessness.

*Official* Pedro to Chelsea
I think he's certainly shown enough to stay and play decent minutes, but if Conte or Pedro himself decided he should go I wouldn't be too bothered either.

That is absolutely unbelievable, I don't know whether to laugh or cry.

England - Should we change the national anthem?
Definitely, I have little love for the monarchy and would love if we sung something a little more stirring and a little less sleep-inducing when we should be trying to pump the atmosphere up. Rule Britannia anyone?

I'd actually forgotten what it felt like for your country to do something good instead of something monumentally sh*t late in games. Feels like its the first time this has happened since that Becks FK against Greece.

Who's Excited for the France Euros 2016
Germany or France, probably giving Germany the slight edge because they're more experienced.

Probably laughing about the fact Ed Woodward was probably stood there pointing at nothing for a few minutes before they got the shot.

Someone who chose to go to Arsenal doesn't get that honor in my opinion, i'm sure he had his own personal reasons but I still can't look past it, unforgivable.

Eden Hazard - Chelsea Legend
Haz was sh*te last season but lets not rewrite history and pretend Sanchez was better the year before, he was a major contributor to us winning the league.

Zouma - If Kurt's Happy, I'm Happy!
I don't think i'm more excited about the potential of any player in our team more than I am about Kurt Zouma, can't wait to have him back.
