His "air shot" in that game was priceless, I actually guffawed out loud

The best " ball hitting face" moment was our very own Batshuayi playing for Belgium.. his  goal celebration  ..smashing the ball , hitting the post and getting the rebound smack in the face 

😂

The Kepa own goal was also a classic

That run is right up there with Torres winning the corner in 2012. The kinda magical moments legends are born from. Forever remembered.

What game was that? Can't remember it

You must admit we do end up with some amazing and weird characters for whatever reason!

Just watching a vid of Eden hazards funniest moments. Even he was a proper laugh.

Werner just came across as a vulnerable young toddler to me, that you'd feel protective over, lol

Werner was a lovely boy.  One of my favs.

Just shows how irrational my hatred of this bloke is. 

It's not irrational mate...watch killing eve, it happens. A fetish that turns into an obsession. Which turns into something else and so on. Can't recall the other steps but denial is in there too. All ends in LOVE mate. 😍

It's a TV show...but binge worthy.

3 seasons so far I think. Really really good though.

It's on netflix

3 seasons? That is probably too long for my ADHD 😆 I will take your word that it is good.

And, as with Killing Eve, it outstayed its welcome. Great first series, rapidly downhill thereafter. 

Chelsea have moved to extend Nicolas Jackson's contract and did you know he has been involved in eight goals in his past eight Premier League appearances (six goals, two assists).

That is as many goal involvements as he managed in his previous 19 games in the competition.

Beeb

"What crystallises Jackson's promise is that throughout his adjustment to Chelsea and the Premier League, and despite his rawness, he has put up very respectable numbers.

The truth is his goal tally could be much higher from the number and quality of chances he has carved out for himself - a much better problem than a forward struggling to find openings.

Jackson's 14 goals from an expected goals of 18.6 in the Premier League last season was an underperformance of 4.6. Despite perceived profligacy against Palace, he has two goals from two xG so far in the league this campaign."

...

"In his first season, Didier Drogba scored 10 Premier League goals. In his second, he got 12. The difference being, however, that he won the title in both those seasons.

Jackson has started his Blues career in better goalscoring form but is being viewed through the lens of the work in progress that is Chelsea."

 

Beeb

There you go @nonotnowjim if we sell him we can make a profit...but you will miss him if he does go. 😉 

 

 

"Nicolas Jackson is a signing Chelsea are delighted with since he joined for £32m from Villarreal.

Although he had spells last season where he was criticised for missing chances, he has exceeded internal expectations at Stamford Bridge.

The Blues have always seen the Senegal international as a long-term prospect to develop and 17 goals and six assists in 44 games last season highlighted his faster-than-expected adaptation to the Premier League.

Jackson scoring record in his first campaign at Chelsea was higher than club legend Didier Drogba's.

Like Cole Palmer, Jackson is seen as a proof of concept for Chelsea's transfer strategy, with CIES Football Observatory calculating his transfer value increasing by over £37m over a six-month period in April.

That is why he has been rewarded with a two-year extension to his contract and is now on a nine-year deal in west London."

ahh....the old numbers argument again. Do I need to post over to the Beeb my breakdown of how 74% of his goals didnt matter and had zero impact on the outcome?
