One other Chelsea fan, Claire McConnell, has a bone to choose with our chief sports activities author:

You ask how we followers really feel re articles about Chelsea homeowners’ combating. The article that aggravated me essentially the most this week was by Barney Ronay, with the headline saying it was in regards to the demise of Man U, and the primary 2 paragraphs have been all about Chelsea. Very low cost shot I believed.

Right here is the offending article:

I’m to see how Nicolas Jackson goes up entrance for Chelsea.

This week he signed a 9 12 months contract extension, holding him on the membership till 2033. 9. 9! Utter lunacy. I didn’t know they gave out contracts that lengthy. I’m positive none of this can blow up in anybody’s face.

Good factor they’ve received 37 gamers in reserve.

Some sturdy views from Chelsea fan Matt Muir:

You requested Chelsea followers what they consider the ‘battle for supremacy’. This one thinks it’s a depressing instance of precisely why personal fairness is a most cancers. A plague on all their homes (although in all probability Eghbali’s, Stewart’s and Winstanley’s most of all). It’s horrible seeing your membership getting used (badly) as an funding car; being a billionaire’s plaything was much more enjoyable.

Thanks for all of the onerous work, it’s very a lot appreciated. Hope it’s an entertaining sport on your sake.

Cheers Matt. And although I don’t have a canine on this struggle, I hope you no less than discover some pleasure within the leisure this night. I really feel your frustration.

It wasn’t too way back that Jadon Sancho was thought of one of the vital thrilling prospects within the English sport.

However his profession fell of a cliff in Manchester and it regarded as if he’d by no means fulfil his promise.

He’s been given a second probability at Chelsea and has received the complete backing of his new boss.

There have been extra tales about Chelsea’s off-field operations than what they’ve produced on the pitch.

It’s nice for journalists, like Jacob Steinberg, however should be maddening for his or her followers.

What do you make of this newest “battle for supremacy”?

I don’t imagine it! For the second sport in a row, Everton have seen a 2-0 lead grow to be a 3-2 deficit. What on earth is improper with that crew?

So, what will we make of the groups?

The very first thing to notice is that Kepa Arrizabalaga is unavailable for Bournemouth as he’s on mortgage from Chelsea so Mark Travers begins in purpose. In any other case there’s only one change from that insane comeback win over Everton as Adam Smith replaces Julian Araujo.

Chelsea look a contact defensive. Two modifications from their final outing as Axel Disasi and Renato Veiga exchange the injured duo of Malo Gusto and Enzo Fernandez. Jadon Sancho may make his Chelsea debut off the bench.
