The twitter feed originally set up for my Chelsea blog. Now all my ramblings are here... By @MrRCSaunders

[S. @SebC__]

442 diamond

9 strikers / wingers on the pitch

Split strikers 🐆
Wide midfielders crashing the box 🏃🏻‍♂️
Shinpad kicker goal side to screen the defence 💚

Play the most advanced runner

[Russell Saunders @bridgeviews]

This.

Don’t get it.

[Rob Lawman @CFCRobL]

Genuine qusetion, if you run into someone's line and make no effort to actually play the ball, instead knocking them off balance, why isn't that a foul?

He didn't get his body across and shield it, he literally just ran into him and initiated the contact

[Coventry City @Coventry_City]

WRAPPING THE TITLE UP IN STYLE. 🏁

[Russell Saunders @bridgeviews]

Not sure there's a better way of putting it than this -->

[CFC Central @CFCCentral3]

Sackable offences have been committed season upon season without any repercussions. Nepotism hires are thriving, press access is being revoked if you write against their wonderful vision. An echo chamber where the dumb lead the dumb on a path to self-destruction.

[Grant @grantdesmidt]

PSG are really bad. They were there for a thrashing. Instead, Chelsea threw this away with an embarrassing tactical setup, visibly knackered players (draw your own conclusions), and this joke buildup 'football' - with a goalkeeper who is only good enough to have one Denmark cap.

[Russell Saunders @bridgeviews]

Lucky, lucky Arsenal. That's not a penalty.

[Rob Lawman @CFCRobL]

The fact Rice can do this AND then move his arm to the ball and the VAR looks at it and says the handball was forced by the illegal physical contact he initiated is fucking laughable

[Russell Saunders @bridgeviews]

This

[Dmitry @ChicagoDmitry]

This is the problem with this joke of squad construction. We manufacture a big transition moment, but it's Liam Delap who is fucking worthless on the end of it and he kills it

[Russell Saunders @bridgeviews]

The absolute stupidity

[Russell Saunders @bridgeviews]

Spending £2bn and securing a Champions League spot once in four seasons is going to be some achievement.

[Russell Saunders @bridgeviews]

Who knows whether this is nonsense or not, but centre half is one of the last things I’d be shopping for

[ChelsTransfer @ChelsTransfer]

Standard Sport understands Chelsea are set for a quiet January and may sign no one, but there is a keenness to add an experienced centre-back - most likely next summer.

[Louis Beneventi 🤌🏻 @Louis_Beneventi]

Gusto at left-back. £60m on Jamie Gittens. Reece James filling in at centre-back.

£1b spent.

How do these two still have a job? Get these pathetic excuses out the club. Absolutely hideous management to take Chelsea backwards consistently under the guise of positive PR.

[Russell Saunders @bridgeviews]

All so predictable from the 55th minute, that’s the thing…

[Russell Saunders @bridgeviews]

We’ve looked exhausted for ten minutes. Need fresh legs. Change it now before it’s too late…

[Russell Saunders @bridgeviews]

Well, everyone was saying Tosin was a liability…

[Russell Saunders @bridgeviews]

2-0. All so very predictable

[Russell Saunders @bridgeviews]

All true, and bizarre in the extreme

[Rob Lawman @CFCRobL]

With no loaded intent towards either club, I find it really bizarre the media narrative is 'resilient' and 'plucky' Arsenal for securing a draw against 10 men for 60+ minutes

The discourse genuinely seems to portray that they were down a man

They were poor and got away with one

[Russell Saunders @bridgeviews]

Anyone else had this error? Ideas?

[Russell Saunders @bridgeviews]

@ChelseaFC Hi. I’m a ST holder - I’ve been trying to forward my ticket for today’s game (and my sister’s, who is also a ST holder) to members in our family (and even to each other) for a while now, but keep getting the same error when we/they try to accept. Help please?

That’s a harsh yellow….but we’ll take it.

If only he hadn’t taken three of our most dangerous players off (if Neto could be described as dangerous).

Something to play for
