Going a bit under the radar but in about two weeks JT will be returning to The Bridge for an opposition side, all be it as 'only' an assistant manager.

Will probably be the most surreal one of the lot in terms of the old guard, I sort of mentally prepared for Drogba, Cech and even Lampard playing/managing against us at some point but Terry doing so never once crossed my mind, it just feels so unnatural.

I imagine it would be an even stranger feeling for John, our clash with Villa will probably be the first time since he turned pro that he actively wants Chelsea to lose.

He'll have his full Chelsea kit on under his tracksuit.

 

He's going to get some welcome.

He might express that externally but inside he’s pure Chelsea. 

If Villa score I bet he doesn't celebrate.

Haven't felt this conflicted since Bosingwa came back with QPR

At least there is one legend who would never even entertain the idea of returning to Chelsea as an opponent:

Left to early, and to think Bakayoko came instead to fill the void, as for JT, hope we kill game with 30 mins or more to go, so we can serenade our captain, leader, legend. "Double Double Double"

We have to go careful here. While we all love and respect what John did for the club but lets not encourage Villa.

Perhaps a standing ovation and then a Chorus of Villa are Sh*t.

I'll go for that!

He'd have to find an employer. 

If we score jt will feel like any of us do if we are in with the opposition fans ha ha, desperate to celebrate but having to keep your mouth shut... 

Just a reminder (if necessary!) that the match against Villa is live on Amazon Prime Video, as is Chelsea v Southampton on Boxing Day.

He didn’t look very happy with the result yesterday.
