Couldn’t stop that one from Reece!

That was an absolutely sublime free kick, incredibly cheeky.

Trubin’s been excellent, as has Antonio Silva, both have been on #CFC’s radar historically.

A lovely second goal that demonstrates everything Delap can bring to this team: strength, skill and composure when it counts. Chelsea have all but booked their passage to face Benfica in Charlotte in the round of 16

I do not want to hear the words ‘Balon d’Or’ until at least October, thank you very much.

He’s single-handedly got France back into the game, unbelievable cross for France’s fourth.

That is absolutely huge for Lando. Mega mega mega.

New lap record to boot.

And you can tell how much it’s taken out of him.

Sort of stuff why I’ll never tire of Monaco, there is simply nothing like it on a Saturday.

Bold take here.

If the Enzo to Roma stuff has any legs, and a certain someone leaves their club despite recent success…

Chalobah, Cucurella, Caicedo and Palmer.

The rest I am spectacularly unbothered about.

F1 at Aintree: 1980s Haas Lola prepares for Silverstone exhibition - Sports News Home to the British Grand Prix in the 1950s, the roar of F1 returned to Aintree at the first of three annual track days on Saturday, April 26.

Visited Liverpool Motor Club at Aintree just over a week ago, and an actual F1 car showed up!

Piece here about the Haas Lola’s brief time in the sport, and a bit of Aintree’s Grand Prix history for Merseysportlive.

Very good half from #CFC, who look like a Chelsea team again.

Hoping they can keep it up.

In all seriousness it’d be cool to win the Cons League and complete the set, but it was the Champions League 4 years ago…

It’s just hard to get up for all of the self-congratulation I know will come from these owners/SDs, for a competition that had never been completed when they took over. #CFC

Times like these where you can only feel embarrassed that #CFC have ended up in the Conference League in the first place.

Something just feels wrong.

Good start and then an almighty drop-off in the second half of the season.

It’s actually very Leicester 23/24.

Shocker that.

Puzzling tactical decisions or not,
#CFC really do look like a team devoid of any belief in what they’re doing.

Limping to the end of the season now, and looking like having little to show for it.

Fans want change, and fast.
