They cancelled the single player Star Wars game, 3113 I think it was called and it was being directed by the woman who’d worked on the Uncharted games. The preview of it looked really cool... then they release two battlefront games that have been sh*t. Like you say, it’s Star Wars, how do you f**k it up? Just give me a lightsaber and force powers and let me run around wrecking stuff. Ubisoft still manage to keep putting out good games even if they’re getting bogged down with micro-transactions. Rainbow Six Siege has gone from being a rather dull and average online FPS game to being one of the best tactical shooters. The Division was fun, Watchdogs 2 was surprisingly fun too!

So we appointed someone to oversee a complete stylistic overhaul of the team giving him a two year contract to do so knowing we had a 2 window transfer ban hanging over our heads. Only Chelsea.

Anthem is taking a bit of a pasting by the critics and anyone who got early access. Apparently the game is really really dull and repetitive and has excessively long loading screens that you constantly encounter. February hasn't been a great month for games, Apex Legends, a free to play game, has been one of the best received with games like Far Cry New Dawn being met with a bit of a shrug of the shoulders too. Not making me want to go out and buy anything new right now... Though March is looking more promising with Sekiro, Devil May Cry and The Division 2 coming out.

Good draw for us, should be confident about getting through the next round. All the big boys have been kept apart in the draw, quarter-finals could be interesting!

Why, did they win something whilst playing in their new stadium then?

Statement from the FA, who were also fined: "The FA notes the decision of the FIFA Disciplinary Committee published today. The FA has cooperated fully with FIFA’s investigations, although we have raised some concerns with FIFA regarding its disciplinary processes. The FA intends to appeal the decision. We will however continue to work with FIFA and Chelsea in a constructive manner to address the issues which are raised by this case." So looks like the FA don't possibly agree with FIFA interpretation of the rules maybe?

The wording of the FIFA statement was "does not prevent the release of players." I presume that means releasing them from their contract which I would assume includes selling them. The ban relates to us not being allowed to register any new players everything else would be business as usual.

I would assume we're going to appeal the decision which will likely postpone the first window ban until January 2020. I'd imagine we'll be trying to get this reduced to one window, which if it's a January window wouldn't hurt us too badly anyway. Worse case and we're banned for two windows starting this summer then it becomes even more important to be giving minutes to the likes of CHO and Ampadu because we might be needing them next season.

Doesn't affect the release of players apparently.

All we can do is convince CHO we value him and play him as much as possible. Saying he's getting more game time than anyone else his age is frankly a ridiculous argument from Sarri. Jordon Sancho has played roughly 1,800 minutes for a table topping Dortmund side. CHO has played about 400 minutes for a struggling Chelsea side. As the old cliche goes if they're good enough, they're old enough and Sarri just seems to come out with an endless stream of excuses for not playing someone who keeps proving their quality whenever given a chance.

If that's what Sarri thinks then fine, sell Willian and Pedro. Both under-performed this season. Both look what they are, wingers over 30 whose best years are now behind them. If getting rid of both of them accommodates a great youth prospect chased by Europe's elite then I think the majority of the fan base is behind that.

Can’t be booing players just because we think they’re playing sh*t. Unless they’ve done something to mug off the fans no player should be booed.

Seeing CHO, RLC and Ampadu all playing down that right hand side is the most pleased I’ve been this year with something Chelsea related.

Much better second half, seemed a lot more direct in our approach play for the most part. Willian and CHO both impressed. Kante looks better dropping a bit deeper and breaking forward with the ball, I think his starting position is too advanced at times. Showed the best sides of his game tonight. Thought Barkley grew into the game after an iffy first half. Giroud did well, hold up play was good bringing others into the game. Emerson should be starting ahead of Alonso. Looked more rounded tonight.

Finally gets a start and once again looks one of the better players on the pitch. Biggest bemusement with Sarri has been his reluctance to give CHO game time. He’s clearly ready. Think he’s pushing for a start on Sunday personally.
