Haaland will be at Real Madrid by then, surely? [emoji846]

Same here bro. Funny how things really do come down to red or blue.

Haha. Trump doesn't count. The forum has already covered that one! [emoji23]

Fair enough. As Chelsea fans we obviously hope that a guy smart enough to be a self-made billionaire does have a nuanced plan. And equally, fans of other clubs will hope he's a lunatic with more money than sense, and it will end in tears. I hope it's the former, but that's about it.

Well, that's a slightly antagonistic statement to make! I know exactly what I mean. We've spent alot of money on youth, which clearly shows that we have a big eye on the future. Anyone who follows football even semi-consistently will know what sort of demographic Chelsea have repeatedly been...

You're entitled to that opinion, but for me that's a simplistic perspective that doesn't account for the longer term model that we plainly have.

I don't think we'd expect to go into this season as title favourites regardless of how much money we've spent, and especially so when we consider how much we've spent on youth. Theres a team that won the treble last season. I don't think any amount of money prevents them being seen as...

It's a fair point. However Thiago Silva is one of those rare players who manages to defy the normal constructs of age due to the ridiculous level of quality he has. Imho he's in the conversation when best CBs of all time are debated.

I'm very happy with that first performance. We are very rough around the edges, and have some rookie errors in us, which is to be expected with the youth in our team and the number of changes to the squad. But overall we are played well, and definitely had the best of the ninety. A good start.

[emoji23] Thanks Seb. Yep, he's an extraordinarily reprehensible piece of shit for sure. So scary that he apparently continues to resonate with so many Americans.

Really hoping for a good result vs dippers bro. It's gonna be interesting!

My understanding of Trump is he's a spoilt, draft-dodging elitist who comes from a long line of spoilt, draft-dodging elitists. Apologies for the off topic comment.

What a refreshing perspective. I too think it's going to be fascinating to see how things play out for us. It is of course very tempting to dismiss what's happening at Chelsea atm as madness, but self-made billionaires are usually reasonably smart, and usually not avverse to a little risk...

In a luxury limo [emoji23] The sudden interest in Kepa from Bayern and then Real has really weirded me out though. What are they seeing? Are we about to jog him on, having paid a small fortune for him, just as he's improving? I'm struggling to maintain a logical perspective on it tbh.

I've gotta hand it to you and Vinny; you're both super inciteful. Fair play.

I totally agree. I think the PL is like a metaphor for the UK Government as a whole - posture like a professional while taking the money!

Fans are tribal. Football is a universal love affair that brings people together more than it separates them, I'd like to think.

I think you might be wasting your time buddy. The lad obviously feels that this forum is an extension of the terraces, and I guess he's entitled to feel like that if he wants to.

I think I understood what you meant. Fair play for being honest, I guess.

And inciteful post of the week goes to..
