Chelsea thread

Well another superb free kick from Alonso. With him, Willian, Cesc, Hazard and Luiz we're a bit spoilt in that area.

The season already has that feel about it when theres like 8 games to play and youre out of contention for the league title.

Are these highlight packages being posted on the threads legit? I'm reluctant to click on any, they seem like spamming exercises, who knows what it could be?

There's an ok.ru player near the bottom of the page - that is legit. I wouldn't use any other of the download links. I also wouldn't go anywhere near the page without an adblocker.

THere's quite a few sites that function very similar to this which I've had great success with. 

Quite enjoying Conte giving it to the ex-coach

Eh, Mourinho already won that one....

"What never happened to me - and will never happen - is to be suspended for match-fixing. That never happened to me and will never happen"

Morata is starting to remind me of Torres, moping around ineffectively up front.

0-0 half time vs Norwich.

Now over 5 hours since we've scored.

Well we got there in the end. But geez when theres complaints about an exhausted squad a replay going to extra time is hardly what we need.

Ah nuts....Thought we did ok, just lacking a little finishing up front. Not our day.

Newcastle at home this weekend in the FA Cup.

Then we got Bournemouth at home, Watford away and West Brom at home before Barca.

Not the hardest run of fixtures so hopefully Conte can get the squad just right for Barca.

But before all that, Newcastle. I do love the Cup so here's hoping we can keep going.

That goals is so hilarious, mostly because there wasn't much anyone could do about it. 

Yea a double deflection for the first and a deflection leading to the second. Thems the breaks I suppose.

Seen this on twitter, wowsers

Feb 20 Chelsea v Barcelona

Feb 25 ManU v Chelsea

Mar 3 Man City v Chelsea

Mar 14 Barcelona v Chelsea

Mar 31 Chelsea v Tottenham

Yea it's certainly a tough run. Between Man City and Barcelona we've got Crystal Palace at home and then between Barcelona and Tottenham we've got Bunrley away. Just to help break it up a bit.

Home to Hull in the next round of the FA Cup

Giroud it is, then. Probably a better/cheaper/more sensible option than Dzeko.

Yea happy enough with Giroud. He's probably more ready to lead the line than Michy and seems more in the mould of striker that Conte wants. Still don't feel like we're that much better off though overall.

Treat my boy well, he deserves it, excellent club servant. 

Will he be back-up or will he take Morata's spot?

With Morata's form in the toilet, anything is possible really. Conte has form for playing two strikers at Juve, Morata/Tevez and Llorente, so there's potential for a partnership there.

3-0. Ouch. Nathan Ake. Very ouch.

Chelsea vs Bournemouth Full Match & Highlights 31 January 2018

Ooh Watford game on Waitangi day at 9am. Good stuff. Wont have to try and discreetly watch it at work.

There are no highlights from Bournemouth (as above!)

here's hoping we play better against them Hornets

Their new manager is renowned for making teams defensively solid and tough to break down. Perfect bloody timing.

I see Batshuayi got 2 goals and an assist on debut

Watford 4 Chelsea 1 WTF??

Been a while since I posted. We'll do bloody well to make top 4 from here. Though I still think we can do it.

A better chance than Arsenal.

Very sad news re Ray Wilkins passing away, 61 is far too young for someone to go these days. 

A real club stalwart over the years both as a player and a coach.

Yea really sad new about Ray Wilkins. Dad was telling me some stories about watching him play, said he almost seemed too good for his own team mates, was always one step ahead of them, they weren't on the same page.

As for this season, without Champions League to fight for it kind of just limping to the finish. At least we go an FA Cup semi to look forwad to!

About time something went right. Good to see the heads didn't drop and thank Arsenal for Olivier!

Yea certainly was good to see some fight. Its all a bit too little too late but its better than just playing out the season with no desire/passion.

was nice to enjoy a win and will certainly give us some confidence heading into the FA Cup semi against them. 

Wilkins spent seven years at QPR excellent player and half decent manager.

Really nice win away to Burnley. Theyre a tough team to beat. Good morale booster ahead of our FA Cup semi. 

Down to 5 points behind Tottenham, 7 behind Liverpool.

We've still got to play Liverpool. 

Certainly unlikely we'll catch either but  nice to keep fighting. Crazier things have happened.

RIP, Roy.

However many title-winning captains we'll have, there will only ever be one first.
