Chelsea 2023-24: Super League Winners 4 years in a row

[Horny Bull 2759]

Jackson has got to put that away. Fantastic chance wasted.

[ztejas 43411]

I'm amazed we got a point. They looked hell-bent on handing City 3 in the 2nd half.

[InkaUtexas 25853]

Don't see confirmation, but damn this would be interesting.

Jose Mourinho could be set for a sensational return to Chelsea as a report claims Mauricio Pochettino is facing the sack next week.

The Blues have been poor for most of the season with Pochettino’s men currently 11th in the Premier League table – one place higher than they finished last term – with 12 matches to play.

Shit, I hate how this season is going, but damn it would be nice to get some consistency in leadership...

[APMP 688]

Can we sell Raheem Sterling already? I'd happily take a few blades of grass in exchange...

[RichUT 1832]

This fucking team. I swear. They are just allergic to any kind of prosperity.  

[morehornsepower 887]

agreed.  we are going to lose - or at least drop points - to 10-man, about-to-be-relegated Burnley... *sigh*

[edit] - and yet, still dominate pretty much every statistic.

These owners made a bunch of bad decisions in the transfer market and now they'll end up sacking a fairly quality manager because they have no other option to keep fans hopeful. It's really hard to see any sort of path out of the woods that isn't 3+ seasons away. 

[InkaUtexas 25853]

Up at half. Settle for a tie. And I would say we are in for 5 years of rebuilding.

 

[InkaUtexas 25853]

Just turned it on. 2-0 over ManU.

Please turn it off.

[InkaUtexas 25853]

I did...... FUCK.....

[Horny Bull 2759]

Holy shit lol. Thank you for your service Inka 🫡

[morehornsepower 887]

wow.  Just...wow...

lol

[RichUT 1832]

Sigh. 

[InkaUtexas 25853]

Blues looking good. 4-0 before half. Do I turn it off now? @Horny Bull

[Horny Bull 2759]

I haven’t been watching so I think it’s my turn to sit one out. 5-0 now

Dammit this is the team I expect.

[morehornsepower 887]

Palmer has been on fire...starting to give me some hope!!

[Horny Bull 2759]

Jackson somehow continues to find ways to be absolutely miserable in front of goal.

[APMP 688]

Mudryk is ass at set pieces, really any kind of cross. Yeesh.

[RichUT 1832]

Great job guys. We kept Arsenal off the scoreboard for a good 4 minutes.....

[Horny Bull 2759]

Nice little derby win on a Thursday. Romero is still a cunt.

[RichUT 1832]

Welcome back, Reece. 

[Horny Bull 2759]

Caicedo with a banger from the halfway line

 

[Horny Bull 2759]

I’m getting really tired of going through this process

Fuck. I’d say “unbelievable” but sadly this is very easy to believe. What a fucking beating it’s been following this club as of late. 

[ztejas 43411]

We had 28 points in our last 12 matches. That was Arsenal's pace over the entire season.

[morehornsepower 887]

This makes no sense.

[APMP 688]

The Chelsea boardroom is full of imbeciles. There's no other explanation.

[Longhornfan1024 1707]

I was willing to give the new ownership the benefit of the doubt until now.  This is just pure idiocy.  We ended the season winning 5 in a row, with I think 1 league loss since February.  We lost 1-0 to Pool in the EFL Cup Final and 1-0 to City in the FA Cup semi-final.  We were playing exciting football and it seemed we were finally gelling as a team.  Now we get to start all over?  Fuck these fuckers.  

[InkaUtexas 25853]

Off to Europa we go.

[TexArcher 37761]

Chelsea ownership finally did a smart thing by hiring a guy who can not only take us to the Championship, but who knows how to win it.

 

[MoJames 8244]

Been beyond busy at my new job.

Season was rough, but ended on a nice run when we finally were healthy.

I feel like the new ownership is just taking an approach of going after youth on the squad and in the managers office and trying to find a spark. I feel like Poch was just a caretaker between shots at young management and I'm sure that's what we should expect from these guys for the time being.

Otherwise, I do really like the squad we have currently and think we are set pretty well for the future.

It'll be really interesting to see how the entire EPL looks like in two years from a managerial standpoint with Klopp off this year and Pep rumored to be done after next.

[RichUT 1832]

They gave Maresca a 5 year deal with an option for a 6th, which I find completely hilarious. I’m sure there are clauses that will let both sides exit early once we’re ready to run him off in 2026. 

[TexArcher 37761]

Fun fact: the last Chelsea manager to make it 5+ years was Dave Sexton, from 1967 to 1974.
