    Chelsea Football Club (also known as The Blues and The Pensioners) are a professional football club based in Fulham, London. Chelsea were founded on 10 March 1905 at The Rising Sun pub (now The Butcher's Hook) after Gus Mears had previously acquired the Stamford Bridge athletics stadium with the aim of turning it into a football ground. Since there was already a team named Fulham in the borough, the name of the adjacent borough, the Metropolitan Borough of Chelsea, was settled on. Chelsea's first major title success came in the form of the League Cup with the appointment of former Arsenal player, Ted Drake, who also led Chelsea to the their first ever League title, enabling them to compete in the European Cup, but after objections from The Football League and the FA, Chelsea were persuaded to withdraw from the competition before it started - allowing Matt Busby's Manchester United to start their illustrious adventure with the competition.

    After decades of being non-competitors, Chelsea returned to the domestic title fore in 2003 under new owner Roman Abramovich, who fueled an unprecedented spending spree - starting in the mid 2000s. Since the takeover, Chelsea won 2 Champions League titles, 5 Premier League titles, 5 FA Cup titles, 2 Europa League titles and 3 League Cup titles. On 10 March 2022, the British government announced sanctions on Abramovich with Chelsea allowed to operate under a special license until 31 May. Subsequently, Chelsea confirmed that terms had been agreed for a new ownership group, led by Todd Boehly, Clearlake Capital, Mark Walter and Hansjörg Wyss, to acquire the club. On 30 May 2022, the sale was completed, ending Abramovich's 19 year ownership of the club. Chelsea's most prominent rivalries include local clubs Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur, title rivals Manchester United, Liverpool and Leeds United. Chelsea play their home games at Stamford Bridge — which had been their home for over a century.

    Would be absolutely stunned if we managed to grab a point here. Chelsea doesn`t look fantastic either, but they don`t have to be to pick us apart.
    Why are seasons so long? Why can`t i stop caring about these mediocre jokers? Do they care about me?
     
    Newcastle have played Tuesday, Sat eve and are playing Thursday.

    Unites playing Wednesday, Sat eve and are on again Wednesday.

    Scheduling is an absolute joke.

    Thoughts of another game are depressing.
     
    Onana
    Wan Bissaka Maguire Shaw Dalot
    McTominay Mainoo
    Antony Bruno Garnacho
    Hojlund​

    I actually don't mind this team. But I'm not optimistic because I think we've put in a few too many garbage performances against decent teams where the players will lose faith in ten hag eventually. The starting 11 is usually not the biggest problem anyway, it's how they are asked to play.
     
    Chelsea play tomorrow, so Wednesday's game is advantage to us. Right?!
     
    Onana
    Wan Bissaka Maguire Shaw Reguilon
    Mainoo Amrabat
    Antony Bruno Garnacho
    Hojlund

    That should be the team. Bet it won't be though.
     
    Onana
    AWB Maguire Varane Shaw
    Mainoo Amrabat
    Antony Bruno Garnacho
    Hojlund
    Though will probably be Lindelof back in...
     
    I hope Brighton take point off them tomorrow to keep them in bottom half of the table, so as to increase the probability of us beating them come mid week.
     
    Chelsea haven't got shit on us. We're far better at wasting money than they are.


    Jokes aside, there isn't any chance we can give them Mason Mount back?
     
    Onana
    Dalot - Maguire - Varane - Regulion
    Mainoo - Shaw
    Hannibal - Bruno - Garnacho
    Hojlund

    not what will get picked though​
     
    ..........Onana..........

    Dalot.Maguire.Shaw.Reguilon
    .......McT..........Mainoo...........
    ..............Bruno...................
    Antony.....................Garnacho
    ...............Højlund...................

    Subs: Rashford, Martial, Amrabat.

    We win 2-1
     
    Battle of the expensive rubbish piles. Not sure if we win the game do we get the trophy, should go to the loser I guess.

    El Crapico
     
    Onana
    AWB Maguire Shaw Reguilon
    Mainoo Hannibal
    Bruno
    Pellistri/Antony Hojlund Garnacho

    Not sure about AWB, still liable to have a brain fart every now and then. Few young players but I’d rather watch a younger side try… and lose, than a team of older/expensive players feck about.. and lose.

    l’ll be there regardless though.
     
    Meh. We might win and win well or we might lose and lose badly. That’s United in 2023. I have little faith in this lot
