Thiago Silva, at the age of 39, is STILL a top class player for Chelsea and I am STILL happy for him to be in our starting Xl’s. Thiago Silva is a footballing legend, has been […]]]> Tue, 28 Nov 2023 19:01:13 +0200 https://api.follow.it/track-rss-story-click/v3/juOIN50i9GfbjyXlM_-JEUGT5aWO9DEx https://api.follow.it/track-rss-story-click/v3/juOIN50i9Gc2yCnc7n99kwBC78OgjhDM Chelsea’s owners want to see improvement, and they are seemingly expecting more right now. Behdad Eghbali was in the stands watching the Newcastle game on Saturday, and I am sure he is still just as angry as we all are about the result and the god awful performance. They want more….

They've had a rocky start to the season, with plenty of reasons for that. Recent results and performances have been a lot better, and there's plenty of excitement building through this international break that manager Mauricio Pochettino might have been able to use the fortnight to cement […]]]> Fri, 24 Nov 2023 22:16:17 +0200 https://api.follow.it/track-rss-story-click/v3/juOIN50i9Ge3i-8de8FSoGw5Ur-z5Bww https://api.follow.it/track-rss-story-click/v3/juOIN50i9GfTVa6BG9Cll-GrEXdXG_66 Thankfully, the international break is now over and Premier League football is back! We are finishing out November with a trip to Newcastle on Saturday afternoon. It’s our last game until we go into a very busy festive period throughout December, so a win is even more important.

This week he has been speaking about Cole Palmer at Chelsea, and Johnson has been super impressed, like all of us have been.

After 11 games played, they were already three points off the European positions and nine points adrift from the top four places.  Based on what the team have shown so far, they may appear to be huge outsiders to qualify […]]]> Tue, 21 Nov 2023 03:03:03 +0200 https://api.follow.it/track-rss-story-click/v3/juOIN50i9GdheLG4rnbc6sfGo0LrnZNO https://api.follow.it/track-rss-story-click/v3/juOIN50i9Gfp08sSXO1LjNaXKMm36c-X It’s high time that the big bosses in football take a long hard look at the scheduling of international breaks during a domestic season, because they are doing much more harm than good. The Premier League, sponsors, and TV bosses want to see exciting, fast, and entertaining games week in week out, of course they […]]]> Mon, 20 Nov 2023 18:30:47 +0200 https://api.follow.it/track-rss-story-click/v3/juOIN50i9Gfp08sSXO1LjNaXKMm36c-X https://api.follow.it/track-rss-story-click/v3/juOIN50i9Gdh4iYKyWX6aQSngkwrdsok Chelsea have been linked with new strikers a lot over the last couple of months, ahead of a possible January move to sign a new one.

Blues fans will have been so thoroughly exhausted by a quite extraordinary run of games that they need a break almost as much as the players.

England, Ireland, Canada, Ghana, Sweden and Portugal are all represented directly in the club's under 18s.

And the Manchester City game on Sunday, as well as the Tottenham win on Monday, has been a mighty fine example of that.

The Chelsea winger still has some pretty big fans and believers in his ability, largely from the media and pundits. Many Chelsea fans also still think he’s top class.

The Blues have a player that appears to be contributing very little to the team. If it’s not an injury, it’s a benching and Armando Broja is quickly running out of good vibes to survive on.
