The Bonk

Palhinha best midfielder on the pitch. What a player Fulham have there.

From the PSG physio table to first 11.

That midfield has no cohesion. Who holds the ball? Mount? They're all attack minded and Havertz is barely a CF. Come on, Fulham! Mitro brace, Fulham win 2-1 again.

Don't let some Marramatics and the Magedia tell you any different though! Historically, Boro are a better run club than them and higher in the all time table with less games played.

That's some feat considering they have only spent 16 of 31 seasons in the PL. This is from 2020: Sunderland - Points: 618 (from 608 games), Seasons: 16, Goal difference: -292 A historically shite run club with terrible ROI for anyone involved in ownership. Not enough MLF's to make them worthy of note.

I can imagine them not syncing on the pitch, but Potter is nowhere near as shit a manager as Souness was for us. It might or might not work out for him at Chelsea, but he'll go somewhere else and do well. I think he's a great coach, never thought that about Souness.

For a sleeve. Fuck off, man. I dunno, can't help but like the bloke and hate Chelsea the football club. I have a feeling they'll be much better next year and might do well in the knockout stages.

No worries, mate. Cheeky bugger, man.

How did Todd afford it in the first place? He’s only worth $5 Billion. Did Clearlake stump up most of the cash? I guess the player purchases are part of the £1.75bn they needed to commit to investing. Which is also fucking stupid and why football is fucked. I guess we’re adding to that, but not recklessly it appears.

The biggest flaw in his “human capital” nonsense is the fact they’re diminishing assets. Players you mentioned have now seen their stock fall and will struggle with form if called upon. Sterling hasn’t been good, Gallagher decent, but not as effective as he was at Palace. Ridiculous way to run a club, unless they have some predictive player modelling data that prescribes these players as leading indicators of success, it doesn’t make sense to me. Culture is something you can’t buy, you need to manifest it and Chelsea lack it or any sort of identity.

Get in!!

Isak dies a hero

Fuck, so close

Miggy, get it towards goal, man.

Isn't Grealish quite similar in play to Maddison? Also, thought it would be the red side of Manchester in for him, but not surprised by this either.

You could tell he was switched on, happy, engaged with the medical, players and coaching staff. I bet it feels great to feel a few hundred miles away from the hot mess that is Everton and the gobshites chasing his motor.

Jonjo, thank you for your goals last year and your peak contribution of “couscous nonce” along with the subsequent 5 match ban. Good luck, sir.

He looks a bit past it(think he was playing out of position when I watched Chelsea last to be fair), but that makes sense. I’d not bother offering him a new contract if I were them, could sign a younger player in the summer.

They're a culture-less football enterprise, @midds. It was the same, if not slightly less so under Abramovich, but much worse under Bohely, who's an absolute creep.

Aye, suppose. Be funny if they aren't able to flog either of them.

Why would Arsenal even want Jorginho?

Think that's in reference to Everton, no? Tough to decipher that shit tweet.

Previous links, mostly, going off of my gut. Playing for us at this point in his career might not be a guarantee for England, either. While we’re on the rise, I still think we have some catching up to do in regards to other big clubs in turning players heads. If given the option and we’re not in the CL, he 100% goes to one of those top 4 teams. (Spurs, Man U, Arsenal) Would love to be proven wrong as I rate him highly. I think we actually stand a better chance of signing him now if Leicester are bothered. He’s 100% going to a CL side this summer, really hope it’s us!

I’m not entirely convinced Maddison even fancies joining us. Think he would prefer ManU, Arsenal over us, even if he’s a rotating player for those sides.
