    Brentford fully deserved the win. PL should just fuck Chelsea off and give their spot to a better team like Wednesday. Give someone like them a fraction of what Chelsea have and they’d be a solid PL side.

    Pochettino is such an overrated nothing manager. All those players all that money and he hasn’t got a clue.

    I wonder if Chelsea players feel extra pressure to make the most of a Reece James cross knowing full well he only has a few more until he’ll need another surgery

    You just have to laugh 😂

    I’m just counting down the days until Poch fucks off so we can start trying to be a serious club again, and I hope the board realises their mistake and parts ways at the end of the season, instead of letting pride influence their decision. He’s washed as a top-level coach, and the game has simply left him behind.

    We have just needleesly wasted a season on a guy who was clearly no longer good enough to meet our needs.

    Hopefully, he takes Gallagher to whatever new club he goes to as well
