on its day our team can beat the best on the planet. Cup football is cup football and is different gravy to league football. You need to be bang on it and up for a fight to win cup matches.

This might be a valid point if it wasn’t for the fact that

A) Colwill, our best CB, is out for the season

B) Cole Palmer, our best player, is glaringly in need of surgery and playing so far below his own high standard

C) We still have No LW

On ‘our’ day, we don’t beat Arsenal, City, Liverpool or Villa. It’s a toss up whether we get a result against Newcastle or Utd. And you’re 100% playing one of those in a domestic competition.

If it helps I have a lot more faith us doing something in Europe…

We had MUCH better players available in those seasons so hard to compare TBH.

I'm sure Danny Granville started in at least one of those finals under Vialli

Would be lovely, would love it to happen for the team and manager....

I actually wouldnt mind a Wembley appearance in the FA cup... I love that competition.

Just think you need to show up and go guns blazing on cup days, Palmer not being fully fit is a big issue, Colwil not so much tbh.

Cup football is just different and you really dont need your best team to win them, heart and desire matters more.

If you crack out your XL spreadsheet and run your thumb past the names and appointment dates and trophies won columns for Bobby Di Mateo, Thomas Tuchel, Gus Hiddink... Ginlucca Vialli you. Think they'd like a quiet word with you.

Thought you'd blocked me? can someone help Bluesh*tening, he doesn't know how a button works.

Different managers from different eras with a different club. Go back and read the question again, just a little slower this time so it doesn't confuse you.

True mate, not like they’re about to walk the league and favourites for the CL or anything. Rather be in our position than theirs 👍

You'd rather be in our position than be top of the League and in the League Cup Final?

This appointment is the biggest upgrade we’ve had in 4 years in the role.

And that just shows just how far we've fallen. .

BlueCo actually continued and surpassed Roman's level of spending and made us worse !!

Ive just come to terms with spreadsheets... help me block your bullsh*t please...

And look at all those managers winning things in different seasons one after another. Surely any manager who comes to Chelsea has aspirations of winning something in their first or second seasons, they dont get longer than that. The only project at Chelsea is to win.

Perhaps you're one of these new fans who doesnt remember the winning years and how it was achieved.

Well £60m under Roman would've got us Olise, Kvaratskhelia, or Semenyo.

£60m under BlueCo gets you Mudryk and Gittens. Two pretend footballers who should be track stars.

People decided they didn't like him before he joined so now they're ignoring what is in front of them and using anything to discredit him.

If he turns out to be sh*t, so be it. As of right now, the people ridiculing him are showing themselves to be nothing more than pig headed fools with a baseless agenda.

Maybe it's YOU who are a " pig headed fool" with a "baseless agenda" ?

It's just a matter of opinion isn't it ?

That used to be the case. Sadly not the case now under the new regime. It's all about the £££££££

Well you need to put a smiley face on your comment to indicate that it's not to be taken seriously instead of the thumbs up that you actually did attache to it . .I take it that your comment that Rosenior is the " biggest upgrade we've had in 4 years" is also " sarcasm" Or not ?

I love how you know who everyone on here is, their associations to Chelsea and how long theyve been supporting. did I mention I went to primary school in chelsea in the late 80's? but then you knew that right?

My oh my, what a clever clogs you are.... absolute 🔔 end (mummy and daddy will be so proud of you to help this mid aged man find th eblock button so im not subjected to your nonsense, help a senior out)

winning will help them get more ££££££££, not winning means less £££££££££ shame they dont grasp that.

I think it is pretty obvious that Arsenal being top of the league and CL is a better position than being 5th in the league. I can't believe this needs explaining.

No - Rosenior is the most exciting managerial appointment since Tuchel.

Just block me you boomer stop saying you've done it for clout. There are plenty of moderators on here that can guide you.

Gone all out like Newcastle did? Worked well for them when they were chasing goals, didn’t it. I’m not sure if people honestly think that was the best way to approach a team set up to sit deep and counter or a lot of posters on here just genuinely don’t understand football.

2-0 down from 1st leg by the way

And you know that how?

You shouldn’t dig someone out because they dont agree with you

I went to my first game in 1971, i had a season ticket in Division 2, i seen all the sh*t we have served up, was there for our lowest ever attendance against Coventry, I stopped going when Hoddle took over and havent been back since, BUT it doesn’t mean i shouldnt have an opinion

Newcastle were 2-0, we were 3-2 down.

They tried to attack and the tie was over in the first 30 mins. We stayed tight and were the better team until the 97th minute.

Boomers are of an older generation to me, but then if you could read you would have worked that out right. typical of the younger generation to be so knowledgeable and understanding that they fully read, think and digest things, I said im mid age. google or ask chat GPT what this means and walk into a lampost. You could be helpful, just say or explain it... but you'd rather be a know-it-all abusive c**t...

To be fair, you've tried to call me out over age, my knowledge and time spent supporting chelsea, Where I live, mortgage payments and a multitude of other things, all of which are wrong and being called a boomer, wow, brilliant. Outstanding... You are a very salty sad individual. Leave the spreadsheets and go spread some cheeks and get laid, might help you get perspective, if you know how to date and meet people in the real world without a dating app.... 😂

Are you completely ignoring the post i replied to where he dug me out? Or is it only an issue because i did it?

You know football is played over 90 + injury time and is focussed only on results... We lost in stoppage time. Jose Mourinho would slap you down for talking like a loser. We were the better team until the 97 minute, then we lost the game and tie you absolute plumb...

Okay i'll help you to block someone on here. Are you ready? Its going to blow your mind... Press the block button 👍

The fact that you think the pinnacle of life is 'spreading cheeks' shows what a sad little life you have. Sad and misogynistic.
