Reece James signs new 6-year contract with Chelsea until 2032 #CFC

Football increasingly a sport that, on the pitch, off the pitch, and now by the side of the pitch, rewards people for deliberately overreacting. What do you tell the grandkids? “I got shoved by Pedro Neto, and after rolling on the floor for ages I got his shirt.” (2/2)
The ball boy who Pedro Neto pushed last night obviously deserved an apology, which Neto gave both to him and on air in an interview afterwards. But he didn’t deserve Neto’s shirt, which he also gave him. Made such a meal of the shove from Neto. (1/2)
My analysis of everything that went wrong for Chelsea on their bruising night in Paris…
…and why Liam Rosenior must accept most of the blame. #CFC

Chelsea bid to beat PSG in a competition no one can belittle, as a rivalry between two fine young teams renews itself

Liam Rosenior gives no early indication which goalkeeper will start against PSG. A big call ahead (although Malo Gusto basically admits it doesn’t matter)… #CFC

Quite an overcast evening taking hold here in north Wales, where Wrexham and Chelsea are out doing their warm-ups. Just glimpsed the first tin-foil trophy, which means the FA Cup is in town. #WxmAFC #CFC

Cutting out indiscipline, taking a hands-on approach to set pieces, and getting Cole Palmer firing
Liam Rosenior's plan to solve Chelsea's problems. #CFC ⤵️

No
Since losing 12 consecutive matches (which was impressively bad), Wolves have lost just 4 of 14. Stocks in Gomeses and Buenos through the roof
Rosenior says he will pick players who show improvement with their discipline in his starting lineups for Chelsea moving forward #CFC

Set pieces have felt something of a failure for Chelsea this season, both offensively and defensively. For Arsenal, certainly a success. #CFC have worked on them for the last fortnight — now would be a fine time for the dividends to appear

Crystal Palace decent, Evann Guessand better. On they go.
Report from Selhurst... #CPFC
www.standard.co.uk/sport/footba...
Oh and, not insignificantly, Glasner risks torching his chances of a top job if he keeps speaking out
Comment: Oliver Glasner has been foolish to pick public fights with the board and #CPFC fans. Only has himself to blame for tarnishing reputation despite being Palace's greatest manager
As a neutral, it's pretty depressing. A feelgood story turner sour

Chelsea fined £325k and West Ham fined £300k for their mass brawl last month. Rosenior spoke to players internally after game to remind them of how to react in similar situations. A #WHUFC exec met with Nuno and Bowen to remind them of the same. #CFC
