Just seen that our French connected club Strasbourg held PSG to a 3-3 draw in Paris and at one stage were 3-1 ahead. Early days still in their season but that are currently in 2nd place just a point behind PSG.

Dark Mode / Light Mode and increased text size implemented on the main pages (see toggle top right of pages). In the evening, dark mode may be better for some people?

Can the text size also be optional? Its HUGE!
{Ed033's Note - i suppose it's possible to add in at some point next week.

Ed033,
I noticed on the Liverpool sites that the wording is larger than other sites, is there a reason for this, also noticed there is a day time/ night time button on the Everton page.
{Ed033's Note - Well spotted, i will have to add that to the Chelsea page, then.

Chelsea 8-0 Wigan.
What a fantastic day out that was!
A mate told me the other day that the only times a title winning side have won the league while scoring over 100 goals or more are all within the last 15 years. I think he said it had happened six times.
Our best is apparently 103 goals with 68 scored at home!
16 Oct 2025 19:49:47
Tom, I remember it well; not so sure how I got home in one piece.

A glorious game that was just such a wonderfully fitting climax to a glorious goal-fest season presided over by King Carlo and his expressive eyebrows. Defintion of a Blue Day and one of the best ever at Stamford Bridge. So great to be able to relax in te second half and simply enjoy our lads demonstrating why they were the best in England. Exhibition football including DD hat-trick and volleyed goal from Ashley C. I loved it and celebrations afterwards. even if my head didn't much enjoy life the next morning!

I'm strangely nervous about us getting a result at Forest this weekend.
I know they can't win a game under Ange but it would be typical Chelsea to come off the back of a good performance and then lose.
Anyway, I think Forest have some very good players, particularly in midfield.
Will be interesting to see what players are back from injury and of course Chalaboa from suspension but I would be tempted to start with Badiashile and Josh.
COME ON MY MIGHTY BLUES.
16 Oct 2025 10:35:45
It's a game we will obviously befirm favourites to win and Forest have been plummeting twards the relegation zone but we all now the unpredictablity of the EPL.
But despite not wanting to jinx us with optimistic prediction I would eexpect a fairy comfortable away win given their form of late, the boost of vctory v Liverpool, TC back plus some others (Tosin? Fofana? Santos? ) perhaps after injury (though Josh and BB did v well together) and v importantly fact that likes of Caicedo, Pedro and James spared from International duty. and EM has had plenty of time to prepare with fair numnber of likely starters for the Forest game. He and squad in general must see this as a must win league game to help continue post LFC game momentum. Otherwise all the doubts about our season and possibility of Champions League spot come end of it will be back in droves.
KTBFFH.

I’m always nervous about Chelsea games lately. It would be nice to see us get a decent run going starting with NF.
16 Oct 2025 17:55:28
Do agree that CFC has been so up and down in EPL in recent seasons that it is hard ever to be anything other than uncertain or nervous before a game. So hoping too that we can put a run together. Had posted after Brighton defeat that was hoping that turnaround and more consistency in season ahead would come with beating both Benfica and Liverpool in the week ahead. Well we managed that but absolutely need to keep momentum going v Forest away. Oh, and not have a fifth red card in a row after Maresca's one after run down touchline to celebrate Estevao goal earned him a secondd yellow. Discipline has been a problem in recent games and we must have picked up more cards than most others in EPL though haven't checked the stats.
16 Oct 2025 20:00:48
JBS, we are second to Brighton in the disciplinary table although they have no red cards. Last season we only had two red cards but topped the table for yellows with an incredible 99.
17 Oct 2025 09:49:23
Interesting stats Jimbo if a tad worrying!
15 Oct 2025 16:37:22
I was going to watch the Doris's tonight in the champions league only to find out their game is on the disney channel! more subscriptions! no thank you but it is getting ridiculous the amount of different subscriptions now needed to watch football! rant over.

The international break is always a pain particularly after our performance against Liverpool, I would have liked to see some momentum towards the next game. On the other hand, it gives some of our players a rest. Not Estavou though busy scoring two goals for Brazil. Not sure what TT thinks he is doing with England with his "places must be deserved" mantra. The current squad is littered with bang average players who wouldn't make it past the group stage in the World Cup. The notion that you would leave players like TAA, Bellingham James and Palmer out of the squad is fanciful.
Just noticed that the Wolves game is an 8PM Saturday fixture. Obviously, nobody cares that there are generally line closures on TFL at weekends; once you're out of the group who cares how you get home.
11 Oct 2025 15:23:52
Totally agree with you Jimbo over transport issues. Us fans are treated terrible.
12 Oct 2025 10:50:50
Completely agree. and 8 pm kickoff for an EPL game only about getting yet another game in on tv after the 5.30 pm one on a Saturday.
I find the midweek European competition kickoffs at 8pm tricky, but that timing dictated by UEFA not the FA so we're stuck with it and as they are midweek line closures not usual though cancellations and delays pretty common of course.
So yes, not much thinking about us fans!
12 Oct 2025 10:52:39
PSAlso completely agree re comments anout the International break but balanced by possibility of players getting a rest and gtreat that neither Caicedo nor REcce involved. and that Estevao scored a brace (plus did come off with c 20 mins still to play I tink)

On the flip side JBS, Enzo has picked up an injury.
12 Oct 2025 16:47:13
That's v bad news about Enzo Bill do you know how serious it is?
12 Oct 2025 17:02:13
A mate told me ages ago that Enzo has been forced to train with Knee support for ages.
This could be something that is manageable, fingers crossed it hasn’t blown up into something more serious.
As far as KO’s are concerned, I think it’s a disgrace but as a fickle fan I want the TV money.

Is it true Arsenal earned over half their history in the 1930's from bribes engineered by the disgraced Sir Henry Norris when they should have instead been languishing in the dump that is Woolwich? Maybe ED01 could enlighten us?
{Ed001's Note - I have to be honest, I don't know much about that period of Arsenal's history, but I think I am going to have to start researching that period now.}
11 Oct 2025 10:09:23
Had never heard about this RPD would be ghood to know more. and also to know if elemnts of corruption or the powerful flouting the rules in football not just a recent development?!
12 Oct 2025 17:04:08
Sir Henry was an interesting character. There were lots of accusations about bribery associated to him.
I seem to remember reading he was an MP so he was well qualified.
17 Oct 2025 19:40:42
Tom, interesting? He was an out and out crook. Following the reintroduction of football after WW1 in 1919 Arsenal were elected from Division 2 to Division 2 despite finishing 6th. It was widely alleged the bribes had been paid to other club chairmen. He used the club’s account to pay for his chauffeur and pocketed £125 from the sale of the reserve team bus. He was eventually banned for life from football. He appealed and The Lord Chief Justice found in favour of the FA. He also unsuccessfully tried to sue the Daily Mail. In 1927 it was established that other club chairmen had taken bribes from Norris in 1919.
