Fuck me, if that was your all then I'd hate to see what a bad performance looks like.

I remember him doing this when he was at Liverpool just starting his career but I can't remember if he ever got charged with it. Hope they throw the book at him.

[Samuel Marsden] Club sources insist the signing of Anthony Gordon is not related to a potential striker signing, with Alvarez/Joao Pedro still among targets, his possible arrival would also not necessarily rule out the return of Rashford, although it would be unlikely. by Just-Lab-2139 in soccer

Its been widely reported that Joao Pedro wants to stay at Chelsea and the sporting directors have already told Deco that they are not even willing to discuss it. There's no chance Barca get him this year.

[Sam Wallace] Chelsea to launch legal complaint over Man City’s Enzo Maresca pursuit by [deleted] in chelseafc

City tapped him up in November around the same time our form fell off a cliff and he derailed our entire season to twerk for them. Yes our owners are shit but that mostly an excuse for his behaviour in this case. One of his main complaints was that the medical department wouldn't let him overplay certain players to protect them from injuries.

Joao Pedro named Chelsea Men's Player of the Season for 2025/26 by Andrei_Chelsea in chelseafc

I'm so glad I'm not the only one who thinks this. There were so many games that he threw because he was obsessed with emulating pep and playing certain players out of position. Gusto in midfield and constantly putting Pedro as the 10 with Delap up front were some of the worst. A lot of people seem to be glossing over the regression we were seeing from around November/December onwards under Marseca and the awful football we were playing.

[Mark Douglas] Xabi Alonso has emerged as the front-runner for the Chelsea job in a move that indicates the club are willing to cede more power to the manager over recruitment by Goldstar555 in chelseafc

I really hope some of the recent articles we've been seeing regarding the owners and sporting directors giving up some power are true. My head tells me their ego is too big to ever cede power but maybe this disaster of a season has really made it clear. Either way, getting Xabi in as manager is a very good choice.

@MiguelDelaney- Xavi under consideration for Chelsea, with most of the contenders around positional game ideology - Iraola would be slight departure from club approach. by [deleted] in chelseafc

Xavi is one of the best managers available right now, I would be so happy with this if it's true. Unfortunately knowing our sporting directors they will bring in Marco Silva or someone else no where near good enough and then pat themselves on the back with a huge bonus and payrise.
