Another true Chelsea Stalwart leaves the stage. A solid, understated, reliable CH the likes of which every keeper likes to have in front of him. A worthy member of the great 70's side and the CH of my Chelsea almost grown up days. In a star studded side of dazzling stars and really strong characters he provided the necessary stability for stars to shine and the strong to be strong. As said , that goal against RM. Thank You John.

A hard fought one?

So the "reckless challenge" only seems to have taken Cole out of this big game..well done manure. Maximum damage minimum punishment. Was fated to miss this game...having made a long distance time wise appt I will miss the reserve game Thursday and originally an appt made for Mrs C on Sunday..scan type non emergency but tight to get appt so took the Sunday one...an unfortunate need for Mrs C to visit UK has me back in the Stone Age and the Arse game back on the table,,BUT,,the fates say NO...just accepted a Sunday lunch kind invitation at a good restaurant from a couple I like a lot ..the lady being a good friend to Mrs C,,,,difficult to refuse and date restricted so I know when to listen to the messages in the wind! What does this mean?...being spared a humilition?..being denied a joyful victory ? I await Sunday afternoon (in Cold Colorado.._15C last night)..🤠🦕🦖

Have never forgiven the Scousers for sullying a nice song BUT Snoopy (a life long Chelea fan) gets it right.

Posted a while back that I suspected that Madueke was a one trick pony seems more and more my suspicions were not too far off. Have said from the start that Sanchez fills me with no confidence week in week out,,some amazing shot saving at times but always the brain F lurking in the goal mouth. The penalty ? amazing how a Chelsea defender could so misjudge a cross into the box leading to the opportunity for var/ref to award a penalty..doubt Chelsea or any side would have got that at OT.
-
Questionable. As an "oldster" ...at OT all day and every day....bring in the SAF factor and it's double yer money! The over theatrical dive sums it up....no way would that be awarded in the other goal mouth. The combined OT/SAF factor would mean no penalty and depending on the hostility factor in any particular game possibly a yellow for simulation. Bottom line..regardless, since when has a point at OT been bad?

Thoughts,,,B'mouth,,as above... a lot of criticsm from fans,,,just beat Citeh at home. Forest,,as above..dropped points,,,,just hammered W/ham and where are they in the table! Newcastle,,,beat Chelsea B thanks to,basically two brain farts,,one mindless the other self inflicted during a chaotic momenmt,,,just beat Arsenal full A side. Comments ?

Yep,,if only he was like Enzo.

Geordie win,,,can't wish any good result on the ARSE at any time,,draw would be ok'ish. FT as I posted,,,,😁

I seem to have an amazing talent of making long term appointments to coincide with Chelsea games. This game is no exception, Annual Check up arranged before fixture dates so will have to watch a goal gorged, for Chelsea, recording. 10-45 appt other side of Denver 100 mile round trip no big deal usually but through busy inner clty traffic...sigh. Balanced by the cancellation of Mrs C's appt on the day of the Arsenal as she is in UK. 🤠🦖🦕

@Sciatika,,really enjoyed the trip down memory lane video...couple of thoughts..the Chelsea players looks if they are enjoying themselves and,,gulp,happy and not just with the scoreline AND,,,suspect var would have made a huge difference to the final score !!!!!! One unquestionable goal!...and at OT?

With a smile I know but I have to say @ROTG after a break seems to be showing a lighter more smiley side 😁not that it wasn't lurking before. Takes all different voices to make a readable forum. On my post I did start with IF,,,,, Sadly the guy falls short in his day job which is the only thing that brings him into our conversations initially.

Just a comment, I really didn't like dolly mixtures as a kid (or now),,NB gets it right,,,🍫everytime.

Not a criticsm of your viewpoint @ROTG,,, just a follow on..."sweep things under the carpet"....If he were fulfilling his employment obligations and producing on very blinkered "football" terms most fans "compartmentalise" the issues. Doesn't make the behavior right by any means and as you harshly, but correctly point out I don't recall anyone condoning the racist song incident,quite the opposite, I think the closest to excusing it came from pointing out he wasn't alone and others should be implicated.... I for one am still a bit puzzled as why the "Authorities: and Chelsea swept it under the carpet,,,not the fans. Bottom line is, sadly, his weakness is not uncommon but a worrying question is ...Is he being swayed by others in the club and the game and/or is he having a bad influence on younger players?..that is a concern to me.

IF the report is true then the guy is indeed everything called so far. What he is saying as far as I can read is he wants to be partying, chasing the ladies etc and paying for it all by taking the Chelsea shilling. He took on the responsibility of a family and now he no longer wants that responsibility. Same as his football with Chelsea..wants the "good stuff" but not prepared or honest enough to earn it or take on the duties he signed up for on and off the pitch. Captain's armband ? Compare his showing him to the real on field Captains of the past. The longer it goes on the more his signing looks like a disaster from every angle. Many an alleged "naughty boy" has earned his keep on the field, doesn't make private behavior acceptable any more than any colleague or friends philandering,,(glass houses etc). but work place efficiency affects everyone.
