I always find it amusing that chelsea fans are all post abramovic according to certain other clubs fans.
I of course appreciate that being a supporter of a totally stagnant club like the toffees and generally always being second best to your utterly abhorrent neighbours makes it difficult to understand that clubs can change and of course a club that gets bought out and all of a sudden has a bit of cash on the hip, is always likely to become more successful. Hand in hand with that comes the inevitable increase in fan base.
So in the years to come, Mr toffee I assume you'll use this peice of advice that I have kindly offered you as you can use it to harass your own supporters.

Shame 1 "fan" spoils it for all. I much prefer everton over liverpool. they're a nicely run club and now should do well. Just hope they don't get big headed. They were great to watch in the 80s and if it wasnt for the euro ban would have been a force ever since.

Johnny Evans, Phil Jones. ? We're not Sunderland. ! Look we've obviously all had a drink so let's just put this down to a moment of madness. We all say things sometimes that we don't really mean.
Is this jose mourinho. ? He is the only person I can think of that may think Phil Jones is a good fit for chelsea right now but only because he needs to ship the freaking helmet out of his squad and he knows that chels are going to be right up his arse this year so he needs to throw in a couple of cheap tricks to weaken his " previous club" . That's what he calls us these days by the way just in case anyone hasn't noticed.

Unsung heroes? Anyone think Darren wood or Peter Nicholas are worth a shout? . Nope, didn't think so :) . John Spencer and mark stein on the other hand. really enjoyed it when those guys were up front.

Koulibaly would be a great signing though. I'd rather break the bank for him than lukaku.
I know it's frustrating and I kinda feel the same in terms of moving to the next target but I really think koulibaly is top top drawer and may give us a streamlined route back to serious title challengers . I can't see many other players that would turn us from top four maybes into title challengers right now. No world class players are really available these day let's be honest.
Obviously I'd like us to get him at a good price but we're not Arsenal so let's remember that we never really think about the transfer fee after the actual a signing. If the guy fixes our defence, he is worth whatever it takes as we have all the other attributes to win everything if we could just get back to that mean defence we use to have.
I don't expect everyone to agree but I think we all agree that we need a world class centre back to replace JT as he has been beyond world class for so many years and his demise ( though he is still quality) leaves us exposed. There ain't too many defenders of real quality about these days so koulibaly seems to be the best available.

In all honesty I've never seen him play. He looks sensational on you tube but so does Jon obi Mikel. I've heard it's been his first consistent season but it been a brilliant one. If he's as good as what people make out we should just pay the money. But spending big amounts hasn't always served Chelsea well and he will be going to the AFCON too. Unless we can just get by this one season and then pair Christensen with Zouma.

Koulibaly looks like he was made for Premier League. He looks strong, powerful, everything we need. I genuinely think if we get him, we will win the league!

GET IN THERE CHELS.
I don't want to get carried away but with Conte I think we'll definitely win the league, the fa cup and I just have a feeling he has a trick up his sleeve to win us the Champions league this year too. After that, I can see us winning the world cup and Wimbledon mens singles.
Antonio Conte. One game in and I love him already. He watches and celebrates like a fan. We have to win something with this man as I would love to see his celebrations if it was for a trophy.
Passion aside, he clearly accepts nothing other than 100% from all. His decision to take hazard off was perfect timing, he went with two up front which we never see, he left cesc on the bench which again was the right thing to do. There is space for cesc but it wasn't needed last night. Every player made us a team last night. Players that have had me worries for a while looked more like the players that made me feel confident before every game 2 seasons ago. Absolutely delighted. Conte, uomo fantastico.
I had resigned myself to a draw that was nowhere near the reward that the manager and players deserved for the way they played but I was happy that the key ingredients from last season were back. EFFORT. But the diego pops up and gets us the 3 points we deserved. A little more clinical with the final pass around the box and we will hammer teams at times.
It felt like we just went mental every time we lost the ball and just kept winning it back I seconds. I really missed that but Kante has shown already that he inspires others to get the ball back immediately.
All in all, I am delighted with the performance, the crowd was great, the manager is awesome and if we can land Koulibaly, he is a beast and would make us challengers. We still look a little fragile at the back and still look like we can leak a few but they did ok last night .
As an added bonus West ham were absolutely dreadful and if they carry on like that they'll be taking the new stadium they stole of the tax payer to the championship.
Can't wait to go to the Burnley game where I can see MY chelsea again, It's so easy to support HARD WORK win lose or draw.
Just need a song for Antonio now, I've got a few ideas but they are based around italian classical music so I worry that the Mhu will struggle to hit the right notes . I'll give it a go though and see how it goes. :)
UP THE CHELS. !
