Why did you come back?

Coming up for this one. Osula to score

That's fair enough and totally reasonable when you put it that way.

I thought about whether that might be an option - Guehi’s recovery pace meaning all 3 squeeze right high up so we keep teams boxed in and beat them up

Re: him being pictured at their training, I’m sure there’s some genuine desire there to try and talk him into changing his mind. I think their view is sell if he really wants and then maximise value, not let’s cash in now and force it.

😂

Difficult, certainly. They’ve a very good manager in my view. Admittedly just one match, but when I was in Spain I went to see his Frankfurt team dismantle Barcelona at the nou camp and was mighty impressed. Winning the EL was some achievement.

Right? I see them as a team to watch this year. If they carry on last season’s form…

Sure?! The point being made is that we shouldn’t sneer at perceived “smaller” clubs and assume we’re better than them. It’s a pointless discussion of whether we were shit or they were great, but I watched it and thought I’ve not seen a team neutralise us so effectively for a long while.

Just when I was worried that the Willennium was losing momentum

They didn’t look at best medium when they played us off the park at their place last season (when we didn’t field a bad side)…

Someone will eventually make a really good TV drama about Abramaovich and Boehly using Chelsea as a multijurisdictional money laundering vehicle. “The Shed”.

Was fine as a depth squad player and nice that he was local; unlucky not to have a goal or two but just not quite at the level required in my view.

Was Anderson really one of our most exciting young players? I’d not say many fans, in my experience, were excited about watching Anderson when he was selected. He was a depth midfielder and didn’t project to be much more for us.

I feel compelled to point out that I find @The College Dropout’s posts interesting

He’s not on the same planet as any of these players though

Oh my

Lynx Africa bubbles

Taps to on

Graeme Bailey, above

Isn't Bailey considered unreliable / know-nothing?

Wonder if Mitchell etc

Abiding memory was him giving the ball away the moment the Strawberry Corner arrived at the "never gives the ball away" part of the song.
