when we host euro 2028 i hope we pack the executive boxes with rugby league players, dartsmen, county cricketers & the entire casts of eastenders/emmerdale to sporadically cut to them during matches with no explanation graphic of who they are
Interesting development noticed by some fans, Chelsea have updated all of their social media profiles with this slightly redesigned logo.
The "New" badge on the left, the current badge on the right.
Jorrel Hato had a very good end to the season, playing as a CB. He had a very poor start to his Chelsea career, and didn't look great at LB. He's also only just turned 20-years-old. Great prospect and looks good.
The PR I've seen today though is shameless and so intentional. Let the boy develop. I've also seen Malo Gusto mentioned, Valentin Barco, both as 'reasons' for selling Marc Cucurella along with how much they rate Hato.
Cucurella left because he wanted out since January, not other reason - that is why they 'let him go'. Hato is not a reason, nor is Barco, Gusto, or any other shoehorn option they want to mention. A serious club replaces Cucurella, a serious player, with another serious player to COMPETE with Hato, rather than use him as the reason they sold Cucurella and over-hype him in briefings. It's so tiresome. Stop shoehorning 'swiss army knives' and start acting like a serious club again.
🚨🎙️| Joe Hart on West Ham’s disallowed equalizer vs Arsenal, accuses VAR of saving Arsenal’s title hopes:
🗣️“Listen, I don’t care what anyone says, that goal should’ve stood. VAR has absolutely ruined moments like that. West Ham fought for that equalizer and somehow they’ve found a way to disallow it for the softest little touch you’ll ever see. If that’s Arsenal scoring at the Emirates, nobody even checks it for more than five seconds.
And this is what frustrates fans, Arsenal have lived off those scrappy, aggressive goals all season. Blocking keepers, crowding the six-yard box, little nudges here and there… suddenly when it happens against them, it’s ‘clear and obvious.’ Give me a break.
I was a goalkeeper, I know when a keeper’s genuinely impeded and when he’s looking for help. There’s no way you can tell me that was enough contact for the goal to be overturned. The game’s gone soft. West Ham have been robbed, simple as that.
You wonder why fans think certain clubs get favourable decisions because moments like this keep happening. Arsenal are in a title race and somehow every 50/50 call seems to land their way. That equalizer changes the whole atmosphere of the game and VAR bottled it. Absolutely bottled it.”
Chelsea FC’s proposed introduction of balloting has been overwhelmingly rejected by many matchgoing supporters.
A statement from the Chelsea Supporters’ Trust.
Whether you liked Liam Rosenior or not, it's actually evil what these owners did to him. Essentially forced out of Strasbourg, where he was doing well, and thrown into a job he was never up for. All because they needed a company yes-man. Another career ruined. Evil, evil people.
We lost it at the bridge. Were an absolute shambles that night. Was happy to see the return of 3 players staying up at defensive set pieces and Josh back on the pitch. Sod the league cup. Brighter days ahead UTC 👊🏽💙
I don’t care about Jacquet. I haven’t watched him. And neither have you.
What I do care about is that these directors wasted a whole month on him and ended up with nothing. They’re so incredibly bad at their job, it’s a joke.
And with that goal, Chelsea’s record of 15 Premier League goals conceded in a season won’t be matched.
See you next season when they start piping up again 😂
