I will not be at tonight’s game. I have to except for a while my pilgrimage to the bridge will now just happen occasionally.
Bournemouth are coming of a thumping and I expect a reaction from them as they slip closer to the bottom end of the table. I also expect a reaction from us. For about an hour of our last game we were in total command, they made some subs and became more physical in midfield and we lost control. Watkins also made a big difference for them but his qualities should hardly have been a surprise to anyone but we became a panicked mess at the back that wasn’t helped with Cucarella having to come off with injury.
I fancied us strongly to stuff Villa and got that wrong but nevertheless I think we will win tonight.
COME ON MY MIGHTY BLUES.

That went well.

Good spot.
30 Dec 2025 22:21:44
Like stuffing villa lol
We are average at best
Can I ask why you haven't been a fan of inverted full backs.
30 Dec 2025 22:42:10
I don’t mind sticking my neck out.
For me the inverted full back creates pressure and gaps for the CH to cover. This then means there is a potential gap between the CH’s.
The problem is my preference would be 433 but with our squad that could mean leaving out our best player.
My major problem either EM is he is too predictable with his tactics.

You are spot on Tom, let's call him "Maresca the predictable".
31 Dec 2025 08:58:07
Let’s call him Maresca, the Chelsea manager.

Let's call him maresca e spazzatura.

You keep banging that drum tomb. After we play city at the weekend I have a feeling your drums will be drowned out. I hope not but I can't see anything else other than a city win.

CFB, how little you know me.
I’m always happy with my opinions. I will let others dwell in there’s.
The owners will decide, probably at the end of the season. In the meantime I will just relax and enjoy supporting my team win, lose or draw!

Your right I don't know you.
But 90% of people that come on here know, you like an argument. Which is why you come here, why you send emails to FAB or the club constantly.
Me am a little easier in life I love chelsea but it won't ruin my day or week anymore. Nothing I say here or for that matter you say will change the club I love.
Since you said you like an argument I was just always trying to get the last word for my own fun. But you must have more time on your hands than me because your name is still at the bottom of every thread.
31 Dec 2025 17:28:32
I certainly want to change certain things at the club I love.
I want away fans slung out of The Shed, I want CTV back and I want a better conduit to the club than the FAB.
I’m not sure how much time I have on my hands but I hope you have considerably more!
31 Dec 2025 20:15:16
The point is tomb your not going to change a thing, neither am I or anyone else on this site.
I want entertaining football you want what you want.
Anyway am busy back at work now to keep trying to wind people up.
Have a great new year everyone. And here's to our cfc getting champions league again at the very least. With or without merasca.

I look at life differently to you. I believe you can’t complain if you don’t complain.
I care more about winning football than entertaining football. As I’ve said before, I enjoyed winning the Champs league and being second best rather than being the best and losing. Each to their own I guess!
01 Jan 2026 09:09:56
Being second best doesn't mean its not an entertaining game, Tomb.
01 Jan 2026 12:11:27
CFB, I’m not sure I can make this any clearer. I’m not a neutral supporter of all things football. I just support one club, a club that I want to win every game.
It may well be that the neutral fan or a Chelsea fan who craves entertainment found the games against Newcastle and Bournemouth “entertaining. ” I personally was just pi@@ed with our performance in both games.
Give me a win over entertainment any day of the week.
