Voted with my feet and left X. Loved old Twitter, but X was toxic. A case of the broom changing its handle and head too many times. And don't get me started on who the broom's owner is. Didn't post much on X, but this seems a nicer place...

Meanwhile, Farage is up there boasting about getting £5m for having a milkshake thrown at him. I've been trying all afternoon and nothing. #iwantmy£5m

Fair play city they had that moment of quality req'd. I thought overall we played well. I'm not sure how at least 2 of the penalty claims were so easily dismissed. Khusanov definitely tripped Hato? And I get he used his shoulder but he ran from an angle straight into Pedro, no attempt at the ball.

Derry starts! Exciting to see what he offers. Some who watch the youth sides will know more and probably tell me he's good value for a starting spot, for me given Garnacho has been so poor I'd have given him a shot anyway! The rest of the side picks itself really. #chelseafc #chenfo

Reece James: “This is football, this is the way we want to play. If you play out from the back mistakes are going to happen." Isn't that the definition of madness? To continuously do the same thing expecting a different outcome. If you know it's a problem do something about it, surely?! #chelseafc

Nobody's asked for it, nobody wants it...back by no demand whatsoever...the roundup of my favourite albums from the previous year (2025). In no particular order standouts are: Saya gray Turnstile Bon iver FKA Twigs Yungmorpheus Dijon Men I trust Royel otis Deki alem Nourished by time Best: Geese

19 points dropped from winning positions. Only West Ham has more (20). Should be 2 points behind villa after the last two games, instead four points dropped and we're in 4th having played 1 more than United. So passive throughout, and a capitulation after the red card. Disappointing. #Chelseafc

Hang on Chelsea with 17 points dropped from WINNING positions?! 17?! That would have us as league leaders! Gotta cut out only playing half a game of football #chelseafc

Quite like that Rosenior wears glasses. Wonder at what stage he'll have the 'Potter Glow-Up' and get laser eye surgery and a roll neck shirt #FULCHE

We normally have one good half and one bad half ...and I honestly think that might have been the good half 😬 #MCICHE

Jorgensen in goal Badiashile in defence Haaland starting. So we're already 3 nil down before kick off. #MCICHE

Only Chelsea can lose to a side that is playing for a draw. So frustrating to watch two entirely different halves from the same team - every game. Dominant but no end product. Same as. rinse, repeat #CHEAVL

Wow, VAR can work THAT quickly and effectively?! Correct decision, made in a matter of seconds. Yeah that's how it should work... Take note Prem refs! #chelseafc #cheajx

Today's Che v Liv prediction. I'm going for 11-11. Chelsea and Liverpool to both finish the game with 11 players #CHELIV #chelseafc

We're a gift aren't we. This is the worst of Maresca. Pass it across the pitch on the half way line, nothing vertical and the opposition will be very happy. Lincoln deserves to lead. #cfc #chelseafc

Took me 27mins to realise that Nedved hadn't joined Newcastle in the summer and Anthony Gordon has just grown his hair long. In my defence I didn't have the sound on. Someone on @socobhampod.bsky.social mentioned the extreme bounce of the ball and I've noticed it tonight, pings about #NEWLIV

Robert Sanchez: best goalkeeper in THE WORLD Fair play to him, he's had a great game and tournament. Generally been far better since he's kicked it long more often than not. Even had time for a late bozo moment. #chelseafc #cwc2025

I think I got sunstroke from being outside today... For one second there I thought I'd just watched Chelsea beating PSG 3 nil in the Club World Cup Final. Delirious #clubworldcup #chelseafc #cwcfinal25

It won't count but seeing that Delap take round and finish 🤩. I had forgotten what that looked like from a Chelsea striker. No disrespect to Jackson who I like, but I was ready to watch Delap lose control and dribble the ball to the keeper or run it wide cross it back and out for a throw #chelseafc

What I've seen of Estevao* is: brilliant in the build up but lacks the final finish/ball. He'll fit right in at Chelsea then! I joke. Maresca will coach him into a world class winger like he has with the current lot. I joke. EM will prob play him at left back. I not joke. *Just the CWC! #chelseafc

Enzo Maresca is one lucky boy. If he scrapes top 5 and the UECL and claims this has been a good season, he will be glossing over performances like tonight. Glad we won, but that was another bad game (for all except for Caicedo) #CHEMUN

Travelling from Warwick to Stamford Bridge for Chelsea v Djurgarden tonight. Will be in MHU. First game I've been to under the new owners. I'm wearing the 2001 shirt. Reminds me of my favourite player (Super Frank) wearing it when he signed for us back in 2001. £11m no less! Bargain #chelseafc

We're on a high after my son played and won his first proper game of football for his new team. Didn't score but came close and he won't take his shirt off! Now we're blasting this album full pelt.. "I'll make it to the moon if I have to crawl!" #vinyl #albumoftheday

Big day for #chelseafc today. CFC Women take on Barcelona in the first leg of the Women's Champions League semi final, whilst the men try to win their first away game in ~4 months against Fulham to keep up a challenge for Champions League football next season. #KTBFFH

Can't blame the fans for this one. Well done to the Chelsea choir tonight. If only their performance was matched by the players. Hapless manager. Lost players. Embarrassing result. #chelseafc
