I've been a Chelsea fan since 1989, back when Kevin Wilson and Kerry Dixon were leading the line. I've also spent five years working at Stamford Bridge as part of the groundstaff. I've survived Winston Bogarde, Jes Høgh, Bernard Lambourde, Jiří Jarošík, Slaviša Jokanović, Steve Sidwell and plenty of others who probably weren't quite good enough to pull on the shirt in the first place. I've experienced the incredible highs, but I've also endured more than my fair share of lows. I've seen where this club has come from, and perhaps that's why I have a slightly different perspective on where we are now. Some of today's Chelsea supporters have been spoiled by success, trophies and an expectation that we're somehow entitled to compete for everything, every season. That expectation is now clouding their judgement. Look at Liverpool. Klopp took almost five years to deliver a Premier League title. Look at Arsenal. Arteta took six years. Yet Alonso has been in charge for just 13 GAMES and we're already hearing calls for his head. It's utterly mental. Of course we should be beating Tottenham and Sunderland. Nobody is suggesting otherwise. But football doesn't work like that. You don't simply assemble a young squad, appoint a new manager and expect everything to click overnight. This is still a team in transition. There are young players learning their trade, combinations to develop, consistency to find and a new manager trying to establish his identity. There will be setbacks. There will be frustrating performances. There will be bumps along the road. And let's not forget, nobody realistically expected us to finish above Arsenal or Manchester City this season. The primary objective was, and remains, securing Champions League qualification and continuing to build towards becoming genuine title contenders. We need to show a little perspective, a little patience and, above all, a little faith. Supporting Chelsea has never meant expecting everything to happen overnight. If you've been around long enough, you'll know exactly what I mean. Back the manager. Back the team. And give this project time. 💙 #chelseafc #cfc

Whatever the penalty controversies, and headlines of Daylight Brobbery, Sunderland players showed how much they were playing for Regis Le Bris and why he remains the right head coach for them. Fans played their part, too. TV shook with the noise they made. #SAFC

What’s stopping this man city team from destroying Nottingham forest

I’m starting to worry about Maresca’s ability to manage a game of football. He either can’t see or refuses to see the glaringly obvious! Same errors, same issues every game but we just carry on. He won’t last the season at the rate.

Cole Palmer has fucked his England career and to be honest he’s not good enough to be an England international anyway.

Chelsea are probably the only club with big trophies that I still consider a small club. Winning trophies doesn't automatically make you a giant. Chelsea fans celebrate the Conference League and Europa League like they've conquered Europe. Even West Ham don't make that much noise about the Conference League. Their European presence is also inconsistent. A couple of seasons in the Champions League, then disappearance. There's a difference between winning trophies and having the history, stature and consistency of a genuinely big club. Chelsea have had success, but that doesn't automatically make them giants.

Cole Palmer, what exactly is the hype around you? Let's be honest, Cole palmer is an average player being elevated by English media hype. What has been your actual contribution to Chelsea this season? Name one game Chelsea won because of your individual brilliance. We need to separate reputation from performance. Stop telling us he's world-class when the performances aren't matching the hype. 🤷‍♂️ Thomas Tuchel made the right call by not calling him up.

Top 5 CM I personally consider world-class: 1. Elliot Anderson 2. Jude Bellingham 3. Vithina 4. Pedri 5. Aleksandar Pavlović What's yours?

How is that Chelsea fans have taken Alonso as one their own despite him being a Liverpool man & also how he was the one that broke our 86-game unbeaten home run. But, when Rafa Benitez was at Chelsea, he was treated like he had leprosy & was insulted everyday until he left.

The reason other fans and the media are obsessed with Arsenal is because even though we don’t have a European Cup, we have more aura and clout than every other club. We carry a level of nonchalance they can only aspire to. We are at the top table and we invited ourselves.

This might be an unpopular opinion, but I think Dame Helen Mirren is bloody awful in #Mobland

Maresca layed the foundation for what Chelsea is under Alonso. Enzo Maresca even though was sabotaging Chelsea from within, deserves some credit for building Chelsea’s current identity. He did the heavy lifting, transforming us from a chaotic transitional team into an organized, positional machine. However, it was Alonso who has truly elevated us. Alonso stepped in, ironed out Maresca’s defensive flaws and is taking us us back into top 4 PL contenders. Without Maresca's tactical groundwork, Alonso would have nothing. Maresca built the engine but Alonso is learning how to actually drive it to glory.

Chelsea can keep dreaming about Zubimendi. The only place they're getting him is on FIFA. 😂 As for Alex Scott, don't be surprised if Chelsea come knocking with a £100 million opening bid. If he agrees to join, we all know the biggest attraction is that Chelsea money. Cowboys FC never disappoint when it comes to spending.
