There are few players that, being replaced by Ross Barkley would be considered an upgrade. Jorginho is one of those players.
"In 1986-87 Chelsea became the first club to market strips under their own name, the Chelsea Collection. At first these were without a sponsor before Bai Lin Tea, a slimming aid created by Peter Foster briefly appeared in early 1987. The product proved to be bogus and the logo was soon removed: Foster, a career criminal and con artist was arrested and jailed. The shirts were briefly sponsored by Grange Farm, the property of chairman Ken Bates who was fond of telling assembled hacks, "I'm off to my 300 acre farm. You lot can bugger off to your council houses." It appears a logotype was only applied to change shirts. The Italian sportswear company, Simod, took over as sponsor in February 1987. Their logo type appeared in gold for the first game and thereafter was white". The following season we began with no sponsor, then got Commodore with a white background (probably a temporary iron-on thing), and then with no background and I guess that's really the start of the modern era from there.
Villa 99% likely to stay up. United seconds away from victory, Johnny Evans got a well-deserved straight red. As I type Schmeichel gifts Lingard a second for United.
Top 4 and a cup final. I'll take that most years but especially this year. Well done Frank and the lads. One more match to win please and then you can work your arses off in august and find some defensive quality.
Liverpool have been incredible - and to be fair took their foot off the accelerator a bit after restart, but if City can sort out their defence they'll be immense... 102 goals scored this season. We scored more than United but our GD was -15 vs theirs. Strange season!
Credit to OGS, and I think Utd are rightfully in 3rd. He was really under the microscope earlier and has done a good job. The Bruno signing has been excellent for them. I dont begrudge them top 3.
That too! In fact I think it's a record for the Premier League that they've set. With more ball runners next season I do expect we shall see more penalties for us in 2020/21.
And some 7-8 VAR calls in their favor. Remember the game they won against us at the Bridge? Total bullshit. So much in their favor but ******** em.
Great way to end the PL season on a tricky tie that may have need help from Man Utd, If things had gone South.... From top to bottom, Frank & the lads in what was a mixed season got the job done & hopefully it's a legit new era at Chelsea. Give him a few seasons with these young players to develop , fix the defence issuses & It'll be a hell of a ride imo.
I was in tears after Luton, funny though, can't remember the final. Today I thought the team played well, much more solid than usual, which Chelsea will turn up for the final? Mount was my man of the match but there were a lot of good performances, our boy in form Pulisic had a bit of an off day but he's done his bit recently, I hope we have the 'good' Chelsea version for the final the the one that turned up for Liverpool (cup), Man Sh*tty and today and not the Chelsea that turned up for Bournemouth, West Ham or Sheff Utd.
