Colos Short and Curlies

Didn’t Targett fall Ill and then get injured? perhaps the illness knocked him physically and by the time he had fully recovered we were so deep into the season Howe just felt Burn should continue as the unit was working so well? not necessarily down to Howe not fancying him

We’re going to finish third and Isak is getting the golden boot

Does anyone else see his long term position more as a striker? he might be missing an inch or 2 but I see a lot of attributes that could transition to a central striker

Never forgive her for not being my wife

mid assume the clip is from The Girl Next Door where she plays an ex porn star.

Chelsea have averaged 70 points a season over the past 10 years with a couple of whoppers and a couple of stinkers in there. With the strength of the new top 6 (bye Spurs) I don't see them getting much above 70 this season. Imo if we can get 75 points we'll be top 4, 70 would get top 5

Lets move forward a few years

totally agree. alongside that I’d also put in clauses where if a player on a pro contract doesn’t play a certain % of games in a season or across 2 seasons maybe then their transfer fee is fixed at the remaining value of their contract and this is set as a release fee. Contracts at a max of 5 years as well to avoid clubs offering massive contracts to navigate this

Debuchy was a Jan signing was he not? Part of the French Connection we brought in en masse

That’s a Top Man top from the mid nineties

and how many times does it get posted on here that if Miggy had a footballing brain he’d be awesome?

no word of a lie I had this from a spurs fan that the plan was to sell Kane for £90m and take Mbappe on loan for a £50m fee. he would flop horribly in that scenario, wouldn’t risk his RM move

we’ve got 3 weeks until announcement, let’s play the build up rather than shoot our load on pic 1

I doubt there is a club with a better overall portfolio of kits this season. the design team have done good

each one of them is going to score at least 7 in the league I reckon. you’re also missing little Joe who will play there at times and I can see him getting 5+ Isak and Wilson 15 each. there’s 63 goals before you get to the midfield trio, defenders and the odd one or two from the rest of the squad

Basically what I used to play when there was only 2 of us playing back in the day. what next a game of FA doubles instead of extra time / pens? I’d be up for that as well

We brought Darlow on so it doesn’t look suspicious when we throw the game?

I want 10 mins of Bruno and Tonali on the pitch please

Org chart is upside down

Wasn't wor Fab showing a few grey flecks towards the end of the season? A little just for men being used me thinks

Not if there is no/minimal gain to us but gives players game time. It’s less of an issue than multi club ownership where players are farmed out to

why? If it’s loans without a fee that allows players to play then it would be pretty shitty for people to kick up a fuss. Any benefit on wages is chicken feed in the grander scale of things (although helpful to us in the short term)

we could lose Darlow and bring in a Scott Carson type for the Third choice. will dibs be happy sitting on the bench for another season if say Inter come in for him? At £15m for the 2 less £3-4m for the third choice it becomes a conversation point imo

How much do you reckon we’d get for Dubs and Darlow? could see Inter being interested in Dubs. bring in a true third choice on the cheap and £10-12m could be added to the coffers - pretty much all profit as well by now you’d think

the double hands on hips from Isak and Fabianski may well be my favourite single moment from last season
