Cole Palmer scored a sensational hat-trick as Chelsea struck twice in the final minutes of stoppage time to beat Manchester United 4-3 at Stamford Bridge #CFC #MUFC irishnews.com/sport/soccer/c…
. @ChelseaFC boss Mauricio Pochettino admitted he was surprised Ben Chilwell started two games for England during the international break, having only recently returned from a knee injury - by @robert_oconnor_ independent.co.uk/sport/football…

On this day – Kosovo’s Independence Day - we remember fondly Ibrahim Rugova, the Founding Father of independent Kosovo, and recognize the contribution of all those who fought for freedom, independence and democracy of Kosovo. Forever grateful to our friends & allies. #Kosovo #16!
𝐑𝐄𝐒𝐓𝐎𝐂𝐊 | BLOOD AND CIRCUSES by @robert_oconnor_ The experiences of football in contested territories covers football in the conflict zones of Kosovo, Nagorno-Karabakh, Abkhazia, South Ossetia, Transnistria and the Donbas. @BitebackPub 🛒 stanchionbooks.com/products/blood…
Just seen that it was P Diddy's birthday this weekend, which seems a good, if tenuous, reason to post this Viz column I ghostwrote for him a few years back.
Your Chelsea side for tonight! 📝 @ParimatchUK | #TotChe
We should all be for innovations in the women's game, carving out a distinct and separate path etc, but Mia Fishel playing up-front for Chelsea whilst wearing number 2 is bonkers
📸Chelsea v Brighton #CFC #ChelseaFC
🚨 Chelsea XI : Sanchez, Disasi, Colwill, Cucurella, Chilwell (c), Ugochukwu, Caicedo, Mudryk, Palmer, Maatsen, Jackson
Chelsea's points-per-game over the last 35 matches (three short of a full season) is 0.8. That would get you relegated in every single Premier League season and have you finish bottom (or joint bottom) in 1997, 1998, 2005, 2009, 2011, 2014, 2015 and 2018.
