Banter aside, the Wolves game on Monday is the most important because they are on their way to being our Burnley, Stoke, West Brom..etc. We need to get a result there especially since they would be recovering from their Europa League game.

nikka we just got throttled by United on our season opener. There isn't one Chelsea fan who seriously believe Frank Lampard has what it takes to lead the club as a manager despite being a club legend as a player.

Act like we don't fire successful managers for less. :mjlol:

lol

the fans were chanting his name at the end of the game. they understand the restraints he's been placed under this season

frank's goodwill will last until the end of the season, guaranteed.

Chelsea will be fine. That's not even close to their best starting 11. Take off Pedro and Barkley - I still don't know why he starts - and replace them with Kante and Pulisic and a lot of problems get solved. They still also have Rudiger, who's a more competent CB than either Zouma or Christiansen. And continue to throw Tammy into the fire because he has the potential.

Nah. Martial's not willing to do the dirty work a great no. 9 must do unless he gets the ball consistently. He's a glory hound.

True, martial sulks a lot, even when he is the one who has made the poor pass and given it away he will sulk and start strolling on the pitch. As for no.9 it was commercial reasons. He registered a trademark AM9 and a logo just before that and wanted to be 9 for commercial reasons, like CR7.

He's not world class, but you'd struggle to come up with 10 attacking players under the age of 21 better than him.

He's 20, other than Mbappe you'd struggle to name many truly world class players at 20 years old. He's a fantastic player and has the potential to be world class if he gets regular game time and improves his game over the next 4-5 years.

The Arsenal
arsenal supporters were "make arsenal black again" and chelsea supporters are now "make chelsea white again". i have no problem with chelsea reverting back to type, their supporters deserve a BNP vibe around the club. abromavich showing up on the scene with his rubles denied arsenal of the elite african talent that would have been next for us back then: drogba and essien.

Mbappe, Felix, Sancho, Jovic. Chiesa is 21 but if you want to count him then him too.
