Im surprised Parker gets away with that cardigan in Burnley.

The teams ahead of us doing their best to give us European football next season, Brighton, Brentford, Fulham and Everton all dropped points

So it's confirmed and for once the timing is good though unfortunately a world cup year which is always tricky.

Yep and if we beat spurs on Tuesday then we're 8th which is a conference league spot

More like “It’s not about the size of the squad it’s what you do with it”.

Don’t think he wants it as it will give him less time on the training ground in his first as

Let’s be clear the clowns 🤡 in the board room should not get any credit for this as it’s the minimum for Chelsea FC which is a top class manager.

The idiots patting themselves on the back after presiding over a cluster f**k for four years can get f**ked the lot of them.

They hired over promoted average people who came with his stupid idea that they can dismantle a winning machine and recreate it over night with young players all over the pitch.

So f**k the lot of them they will get no praise from me not NOT not EVER.

There’s no money in it, a win gets you into the EL. Big fizz.

Not in my opinion. Now we have a proper Manager I'd prefer us to concentrate on improving our league performances and position without the hindrance of the extra games and midweek trips the Conference League would involve. It's not as though it's a potentialy big money spinner either, let's put more effort into getting a decent front of shirt sponsor for that purpose.

Do the Liverpool connections bother you at all? Poch never really looked comfortable being here.

I think we’re so desperate for success that we’ll accept anyone.

Connections are parochial bo**ocks. If Poch looked uncomfortable it was due to dealing with the morons he eventually walked away from. The right person is all that matters.

He made his name at Real & Bayern, the dippers were just a stepping stone.

I couldn’t careless. Am backing the manager as he’s the best they have hired.

It depends on how he does.

No one is bothered about Lampard's West Ham or Fabregas' Arsenal connection.

Would have been a different story had they flopped.

Which underlines the petty stupidity of the concept.

Finally something to look foward to....its been a while. Lets hope the board starts buying real football players from now on.
