    Let's All Laugh At... Let's all laugh at Chelsea thread

    Yep my old man has been a Chelsea fan since the 50s. He took me as a kid to see a game there around 1979/80 and I swear there were maybe a couple of thousand in the crowd, all on one side of the stadium and me and my best mate did sprint practices around the stone terrace behind the goal because...

    Premier League 2023/2024

    That’s how I read it, but I think some counts as extra ordinary loss, like paying off Lerner, so no idea if they can be deducted from the 115m over 3 years figure… but it feels like they have to sell for sure

    Premier League 2023/2024

    Hmm Aston Villa reported a financial loss of £69 million for the financial year ending May 31, 2019. This loss included a £30 million bonus payment to former owner Randy Lerner upon the club's return to the Premier League, along with "exceptional promotion-related costs" of £45.8 million. The...

    Darren Bent: I played under ruthless manager – his brutal training demands left player in hospital on a drip

    Haha he’s married to one of the Real Housewives, so he keeps popping up in parties, in the kitchen making drinks, palling around with his best mate Boy George, etc, it’s seriously weird. I will say, having seen way more of it than I’d want when my wife’s doing her Sunday morning marathons… I’ve...

    Darren Bent: I played under ruthless manager – his brutal training demands left player in hospital on a drip

    My missus is addicted to Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, and PK as they all refer to him comes across as an utter prick whenever I see him… talk about the Dark Ages.

    Mauricio Pochettino

    That started during Poch's final season, but they made a decision (I assume to protect him to a degree as things were unravelling) that it would start with Jose taking over.

    Dele Alli at Everton

    Sure, but players go through dips and as I remember he was getting 'distracted' with esports and all that stuff, so you can't help but wonder at the difference the father figure being there to help him find his way out of all of that and not being there made. Maybe it's my memory adding details...

    Let's All Laugh At... Let's all laugh at Chelsea thread

    I have a suspicion a certain amount of amnesty was promised in terms of past crimes but the actual 'hand-binding' that is going to get them in trouble is on the new guys with their 12 players on 8 year contracts, etc. I had this conversation with my old man at the time - he's a Chelsea fan -...

    Dele Alli at Everton

    Watching that was more than just a little emotional. There are tears in the eye, first of joy at the unbridled passion and skill and those goals, then in sadness as he sits with Jose, and that interview on the Overlap has them on the cheeks. It's hard to believe he's still only 27 and impossible...

    Mauricio Pochettino

    Maybe I’m weird, but I tend to think Poch got incredibly lucky with us… in the CL quarters vs City there’s a goal that would have knocked us out in the last seconds (90+5) cancelled out because it’s adjudged to have had the slightest touch turning it into a backpass and our equalizer on the...

    Transfer window closed, it’s already too late for him to change ;)

    Premier League 2023/2024

    Let’s be honest, if they are 200m short they are going to fall afoul of psr, and it won’t be fixable unless there are some seriously dodgy horse trades going on, they might as well fire him and put all the losses in the same fiscal year, and bundle it under the same fine/points deduction.

    Manager Watch: Ange Postecoglou

    My heart. Love Ange, you just know he’s a top human being first and foremost, and this outreach with Freddie and his family is so good for the soul of football, like JD and Bradley. It’s more than the game. What a young man. I hope he gets to see us win lots of Premier League titles.

    Ah so what’s all this guff about Gallagher not wanting to leave because he wants to captain Chelsea at Wembley they were spouting today hahah. The it reflects badly on Chilwell… (and Gallagher because he plays for the blue scum ;) )

    Player Watch Player Watch: Timo Werner

    From his first video with us, talking about how hard the treadmill was, on, I’ve wanted this guy to knock it out of the park. He’s talked about how he had no game time, so wasn’t fit, and we are finally beginning to see what he might look like up to speed (and that moment last night when he was...

    Let's All Laugh At... Let's all laugh at Chelsea thread

    That was horrible. Imagine being in his place, should be a life long memory being made, that his parents have paid a fortune for… and instead it is the day his team abandoned him in the middle of Anfield… I think that reflects really badly on Connor Gallagher, too. Captain’s job to look after...
