I love seeing players rise from the ashes like. Speaks volumes of the respective persons character.

Didn't on the Beek say he didn't want to come to us and be involved in a relegation scrap. Off his lips the daft cunt.

He actually failed to put Joelinton through in a similar scenario second half. I wish that had have been Schar too

Yep, said for a while we're not going down. Aside from Cambridge we've shown signs of improvement throughout for me. Howe had to get the squad fit before he could even implement anything else. I'd love to know his honest thoughts on Steve Bruce... I can barely see us finishing lower than we are now tbh, the wheels are in motion and enough fixtures are left for everyone to have big sides to play. We have form, unity and Eddie Howe. The rest have sinking ships, lack of quality and/or division.

He's still played his part in our recent run of form like. We'd all love goals from our centre forward but what's important is results and at present he is contributing to a very good run of form from the team.

Release the Eurometer

Ah, that seems strange to me, doesn't that enable him to launder potential dirty money through the club?

Is it just me or was he doing a 'redeemer' style pose as he ran?

Is my interpretation right that he still owns the club but it is currently under the control of Chelseas Trustees? So presumably this means he cannot bank roll them personally but they can continue to function via their own commercial revenues?

We've got the 3rd best form in the league over the last 5.

Wouldn't blame him if he was. Just heard Howe wasn't happy with him feom some fans at the weekend and hadn't seen the comments.

What were the Howe comments about last weekend?

If Everton have one game in hand on us, it cannot be us - granted our game was rearranged. Also when Burnley game in hand is doesn't matter. They have 2 in hand and need to win both. I have us staying up by 5 points - above; Brentford on 31 Watford on 28 Burnley on 26 Norwich on 24 That's without beating Burnley or Norwich (draws at both) and a defeat away at Everton.

Think we just have to be focused and not get carried away, we're in form but nothing about Howe suggests to me he's the type to lose sight or focus of the end task. He's measured and composed. Burnley have 2 games in hand on us, but are 5 points behind. It is unlikely they'll win both to see themselves above us. Othet than them, there's only Everton and Leicester who have games in hand on us. We have the 3rd best form over the last 5 games and if you include Leicester in those 'reachable' teams then that's 10 teams, who realistically cannot all pick up points in the same gameweek. It'll take another 10 games to see us safe, but I don't think we should worry at all. Lampard's MotD interview pointed fingers at his predecessors and wasn't particularly inspiring. Palace are struggling to win games, Leeds' are all bluster and Brentfords bubble has relatively burst (I know... I've said it now...). Burnley, Watford and Norwich are all shite and we need to play two of them still. I just don't see anything to concern ourselves with so long as we continue in a similar vein to what we have under Howe thus far.

I think something was mentioned mate. I'll check it out. Had a mabic week or so, so got some catching up to do. Will let you know. Stag Do and West Ham (a) this weekend.

Shelvey isn't, hasn't ever been and never will be a captain. Trippier - armband or not will always be a leader. It's that simple.

Cause he's got his confidence that's why. You cannot underestimate the job Eddie Howe has done psychologically on this team, Joelinton in particular.

If you criticise Joelinton your a fucking SMB. Simple.

Thanks for all the very kind comments and generous donations folk, it's greatly appreciated. We would try our best to do displays without financial contribution but frankly they'd not be half as good. It's you, the fans that really make this happen.

Cheers mate

Not yet but it has been discussed. If anyone fancies a gan

Not sure mate will need to check
