Some really good players in there and a coach who knows exactly what his squad can do and gets it out of them. Very impressed by them this year.

Saul for 80m euros. OK, I get it - a player has to want to come here for any transfer to happen. (Do you hear that Piatek pants-wetters?) Why would Saul want to come to Chelsea when his other suitors are Barca and City? But to a point nicephorus has made multiple times: Bakayoko (40m) +Drinkwater (38m) = Saul Zappa (25) + Barkley (17) + Emerson (20) + Giroud (17) = Saul Michy (40) + Baba (20) + Zouma (15) + Moses (12) = Saul + 7m Sidwell = Saul Wait, what?
Playing for Pep is the ultimate winner here. Think if city didn't have pep, they wouldn't have the same draw to players. Chelsea doesnt have an identity anymore. Sarri ball doesn't work, the only two people in the world that believe in it are already here and they are struggling.
England smash Czech republic 5-0 with Barkley in early and cho making his debut. Youngest ever to do so in a competitive match!
I really like Southgate. I think he's done exactly what needed to be done by implementing a mixture of youth and experience.
Imagine if we won the games we should've showed up for. We'd be comfortable in 3rd place by a long shot.
Pretty easy work, too. Newcastle never looked like threatening. This means we'll beat Brighton because we're a dumb team.
I'll miss our neighbors. Looks like our biggest problem is ourselves followed by a resurgent Arsenal.
Huge win by the wolves. We have to handle our shit tomorrow and we’re back up into 5. If Palace feels like doing us a favor we could be as high as 4 by the end of the day.
The United loss now means we will will also lose. But since this the other teams' thread: -OGS heralded for returning the "United way" (2 losses in last 3) -Spurs 1 point in last 15 -Spurs losing their stadium opener would be oh so Spursy
Calling it now. If they do lose (and I hope they do for so many reasons), someone will update their stadium wikipedia page to show the owner as whomever scores the winner against them.
Spurs Palace tied at 0. Long 45 minutes left to go there. But man if Palace can hold that score line we take back our own destiny.
Kai Havertz is really ********ing good. That's someone we should be after. That kid is so good and composed.
