That said Arsenal are so well organised they're making you look worse than you really are I think

I think we’re doing a pretty good job ourselves at looking actually worse than we really are.
At 5 -0 we got away lightly, shocking !!

Lol 4-0 now. Havertz again, ironic really, he couldn't score for toffee at Chelsea, now he's banging them in.

I hope Boehly is looking at the players signed by the two teams, Arse signed Trossard and White from Brighton, we signed Cucu and Caicedo. We signed the wrong two players quite clearly. Maybe Boehly thought Declan Rice was Caicedo or something?

I suspect this is not going to end 4-0, optimistically I would say 5-0 but I have a feeling it'll be worse than that.

I suspect if we swapped Caicedo and Cucurella for Trossard and White, C&C would start playing brilliantly while T&W would struggle to kick the ball in the right direction. I don’t think Poch is helping.

Come on lads....trust in the process. Agent Poch has got this, maybe, probably, well I doubt it, but.....

Sadly, he's lost the cloakroom.

I was expecting 3:1, but hoped for better by end of first half after a testing 20 minutes start
Was almost as pleased with 5;1 at the end as it could have been far worse, and at least I remember Chelsea winning 6-0 at home 10 year’s ago .

No surprise. We're a classic one man team, and without Palmer, we're relegation fodder. I suspect he will be gone in the summer to meet FFP, as he's the only player we've bought who is worth more than we paid.

Last night proved me right about Enzo. He's not a better alternative to Rice, he's not even in the same ballpark quality wise. And he cost £5m more than Rice.

We will also have to sell Gallagher and James at some point. We cannot sack Poch, again due to FFP, so that discussion is over. We can't sell Mudryk or Caicedo due to the FFP hit on both.

I don't know what the answer is, but I'm going to have a bet on us going down next season, either by normal league position or by FFP sanction. At least the money I win will ease the pain.

[968]

Congratulations to Boehly and Egbali. Truly magnificent way to run a club (into the ground).

Given James's injury record, will we get top dollar for him?

This will be studied in business schools for decades to come, it's actually remarkable how badly they've failed in every conceivable manner. Quite how these got to this position when I wouldn't trust them to run a car boot stall will forever be a mystery.

I may have asked before on here, but why did the Candy brother who was in the running fall out of contention? Lifelong Chelsea fan, presumably not a total idiot.....

Absolutely not. Could have been a £100m player, but I think I've heard figures around £40m being touted.

He’s a fking idiot. No matter how rich he is, he makes terrible decisions such as buying Twitter.

It's all paid for with loans and investments from other people. It's not like he wrote a cheque for $44bn from his savings account

I'll agree to disagree. You don't build several massively successful businesses if you're an idiot. But buying twitter does look like an absolute shambles of a decision so far.

He comes from an extremley wealthy South African family that made a fortune out of exploitation in the African gem mining industry - he's not exactly a self-made billionaire. And if you delve into his 'businesses' he's not exactly the stellar businessman he and all his fawning followers make out.
On top of which he's an utter ****

[968]

The point is that billionaire businessman are not necessarily making the best decisions when it comes to running football club and these two clowns may just have destroyed Chelsea entirely.

[bodhi]

That old "extremely dodgy" billionaire businessman we had running the show up until a couple of years ago didn't do too badly.

Shame the structure he put in place around player recruitment was replaced with someone reading Sky Sports gossip column and buying anyone mentioned....
