Maybe I shouldn’t go, the only game I couldn’t make it to is the only one we’ve won

Sorry mate you will have to sweat like a pig, replica shirts are definately a no no for grown men. Football, and fashion go together, unless your an Arsenal fan and they wear replica shirts and a bar scarf tied round their necks. Have some pride man, wear your finest clobber to the game, we are Chelsea!!

Before and after a match I always enjoy seeing the entire range of our kits from the past 25 years (at least), home and away, some of them I had completely forgotten about. I try to remember which former players wore what shirt. 

Glorious trip down memory lane.

When l see the older shirts, each particular shirt Reminds me of a certain player of the time.

I don’t think I’d be in the public domain for long after stepping out of the car park in Wimbledon 

With injuries considered. Rudiger for Christensen to deal with the set pieces alongside Zouma and Kante for Barkley if fully fit.

Pulisic and Barkley are the two I would consider switching out. Barkley as usual looks world class one week and average the next. To be fair I don’t think a really wide role suits him. Pulisic is only doing just enough but perfectly reasonable to give him lots more time to grow into role. 

Bottom line for me is I’d be inclined to start Willian ahead of Barkley In an otherwise unchanged team. I will say I thought alonso looked very hungry in the few minutes he’s had.

nope

Kepa

Azpi  Christensen  Zouma  Emerson

Kovacic  Jorginho  Mount

Pulisic     Abraham     Willian

 

Keep Kante, CHO, James and Rudiger rested until after the internationals.

Willian to sulk around for 90 minutes and Abraham or Mount to win us the game.

It is NEVER acceptable for an allegedly "grown man" to refer to a shirt as a "top".  You'll be asking "does this blouse match my trousers" soon

He's breaking down barriers for modern men, if females can call them tops, so can we.

Matter of circumstance i'm afraid, i did go a bit lightheaded whilst typing it out.

If i hadn't seen that Pedro was injured he'd have been starting for me.

@Scott Harris are you still doing the MOTM threads this season?

Shouldn't underestimate Sheffield, they are a solid side and knowing our defensive worries i doubt they will sit back and wait for us to score. Saying all this we should be able to create several chances and get a few goals in early if we are clinical enough. 

Think we will manage to win and keep a clean sheet 

2-0 Chelsea prediction.

I won’t. I wear skirts not trousers.

Still preferable to being a 'somewhat too grown man' who tucks his trousers into his socks mind...

I missed the first few at the start of the season because I forgot, so I just stopped doing them. In all honesty, I can't really be bothered to keep up with updating the points every week, it gets a bit tedious.

No worries, wouldn't want to do it myself personally!
