🚨🔵 EXCL: Chelsea reject approaches from clubs around Europe and two from Premier League for Josh Acheampong.
Defender seen as untouchable for the new era under Xabi Alonso, first decision made together between #CFC and new coach.
Acheampong stays, under contract until 2029.
Since no one wants to say it, I’m going to say it.
The red cards we’ve picked over the last 2 seasons clearly shows Chelsea is being targeted & referees are harsh to our players with no form of leniency.
We haven’t been at our usual level but PGMOL has contributed a lot to our horrible season. I’ve also noticed a pattern of 50 - 50 tackles called as fouls and someone needs to speak out.
We need to demand answers and repeatedly question decisions that referees make when Chelsea is involved
Every week we see players of other clubs do worse things and get away with it. We need to speak out!!!
Xabi Alonso’s message to Chelsea fans: “Chelsea is one of the biggest clubs in world football and it fills me with immense pride to become manager of this great club”.
“From my conversations with the ownership group and sporting leadership, it is clear we share the same ambition. We want to build a team capable of competing consistently at the highest level and fighting for trophies.
‘There is great talent in the squad and huge potential at this football club and it will be my great honour to lead it. Now the focus is on hard work, building the right culture and winning trophies”.
Ignore the fact you’re a Chelsea fan. Is this not a penalty? Khusanov lost the ball, Hato got ahead of him and was already in possession, then got charged from behind. If Hato wasn’t wearing blue, he gets that penalty.
You won’t believe that Bukayo Saka and Reece James became regular starters for their clubs around the same time.
Since then, Reece James has won the UCL, UEFA Super Cup, FIFA CWC, FIFA Intercontinental Cup, and the UEFA Conference League. Meanwhile, Saka’s trophy cabinet consists of just an FA Cup and 2 community shield despite reportedly earning around £300k per week.
I’m tired of the way commentators and most people in the media speak about Caicedo. They talk about his track record of yellow cards, label him a shin kicker and talk about how he likes to be a little “extra” with his tackles, etc. No.
The guys just works REALLY hard for his team and doesn’t look like your favorite player. Moi is a multi dimensional footballer and thrives anywhere on the pitch. Stop limiting him to suit your agenda.
Wasting your time when you should be appreciating one of the best midfielders in world football.
🗣️ Cesc Fabregas: "Crying after my last game for Chelsea was something I couldn’t control. It was a very emotional moment. Despite joining from a rival club, the fans showed me love beyond imagination.
I was so loved at Chelsea that I started wishing I had started my career there. Chelsea gave me what was difficult for me to get at Arsenal —Trophies."

Malo Gusto dunking on Aston Villa and Amadou Onana for doing the three point collectors.
Thought he could get away with doing that at Stamford Bridge, so done it back at Villa Park.
When I said the idea Chelsea lack discipline is just a media fugazi, people came at me. Bruno Fernandes did far more than Neto towards the referee and got nothing for it. Meanwhile, Enzo got booked for praising the ref after gusto’s foul was acknowledged. EPL is a disgrace….
JUST IN: Tim Tebow shows senators a map of the United States showing every single location where someone is downloading, sharing, or distributing CSAM.
“We are losing the battle, and we are losing the war, and boys and girls are suffering for it…”
Same referee. Same game. 15 minutes apart.
One deemed a perfectly fine tackle. One awarded with a yellow card.
The ref didn't want to make a controversial decision and give a penalty? Cool.
The yellow he gave for the second one ended in a red card.
No consistency.
