Steve Livingstone has always stuck with me. We got him in swap deal for Graeme Le Saux and I think he only ever played 30 mins for us.

Well I guess that’s one trophy lift I can never have a picture of…

So what competition are the gonna invent for us next…? #championsoftheworld #cfc

Hang on, you didn’t say it was also bad news…?

I was a student when England won the Rugby World Cup in 2003. The final was at 9am or something coz it was in Australia, so a group of us said we would stay out all day and all night if England won. We got to mid afternoon and then had to go home for a nap coz we realised we weren’t gonna make it!

Completely agree with this. I think he’s trying to get his leg in front of the opponent to shield the ball, but he times it badly and ends making a terrible challenge.

Ah I see Chelsea’s plan. Get the win in the bag early for a little bit of prize money, then lose twice to maximise holiday ahead of next season. All on track so far!

Dude! Chelsea won it all last night! At least give it a couple of days before letting other things get you down…

We’ve won it all!

Anyone else not yet received their Cup Final tickets for Sunday yet? Thought they were supposed to be sent today… #cfcw

Yes via email

Two games left and UCL qualification still in our hands. Could Chelsea fans try to like, maybe, support their team…?

The optics of Amesbury punching a constituent probably contribute to the impression that Labour aren’t listening, so I would be a bit pissed off with him if I were in the govt

This reminds me of the eighties when a new sponsor would randomly appear for a few games and then disappear!

They would just keep saying science is wrong. If they don’t believe we need Measles vaccines they won’t believe this!

I’m not sure to be honest, but whatever problems we have, I think they’re more about personnel and recruitment than the manager. It also feels like our chance conversion is down, so we’re less likely to go ahead (early) in games, so the oppo doesn’t get drawn out to create chances for fast breaks.

But isn’t this sort of thing also about how teams set up against us?

I think that’s fair, and there are problems, but I don’t blame Maresca for having a lack of forward options. Jackson and Palmer have been injured/out of form and nobody else has stepped up. I don’t buy the argument that Maresca has coached anything out of them.

For the record, I didn’t think Poch should have gone at the time, but I also think Maresca has had to deal with two poor transfer windows from the club and possibly has a worse squad than Poch did. And as a club I think we need some stability. There has been too much turnover under this ownership.

I could get slaughtered for this, but I would be interested to see a Venn diagram of people that currently say Chelsea should have kept Poch and people who at this time year said we should sack Poch.

Yes that does tell you the issue. But I think it’s maybe not what a lot of people say it is?

Yeah except in this case it’s not our current hierarchy. 2020 is still Abramovich era.

Ok. I’m not saying I’m loving it at the moment but I think there is a bit more room for optimism than that!

4 points from 2 games is surely on target for your original 10 points from 5 games target for the month, no?

You think no wins from any of our home games when we are what, 5 consecutive wins at home?

Yeah. But you could say 7 points from those games. Or 1 goal conceded in those games.

My dad told me once that people analyse the result and not the game. Think this is an example.

Find it absolutely incredible how much negativity some people are able to generate about a team that have made it to March before losing their first game of the season, even when defeat doesn’t yet knock them out of any competition. #cfcw

Also he says he’s never physically hurt anyone, implying that he has hurt people in other ways…
