    Chelsea are both packed full of amazing players and should be in the Champions League but also everyone who starts for them is a disgrace to the badge and the binman who picks them is a fraud. Ironically if you balance these two opinions the club in question would be finishing in mid table.

    They've been the better side to a very decent Wolves side and dictated play in their own back yard. All whilst you have Broja, Jackson and Sterling miss chances that any respectable prem attacker is putting in whilst Gallagher has the ball bouncing off him like the League 2 player he is and then people try and say xG is bullshit and they won't shoot up the table when Nkunku and whatever other signing slots in.

    This is the most Jimmy opinion ever but 'have we overcoached players so much that they're incapable of doing the obvious thing if it's not in the UEFA B License handbook'



    The state of this.

    Be honest, he'd have overhit the pass had he gone for it.

    Or Jackson would have Ronnie Rosenthal'd it.

    Most Chelsea result and performance possible so far.

    Need Sterling to pull a hamstring desperately.

    Wolves need to secure this before Nkunku comes on.

    Maybe but imagine the xG they could quote from the ensuing miss.

    And he keeps Sterling on the pitch.

    Pochettino is on the take. No other reason for all of these decisions since the summer

    The tracking back, or lack thereof, from Chelsea's midfield and attack when they inevitably give the ball away stupidly is something else.

    They don’t have a midfield even out there. Gallagher on his own. Pochettino masterclass.

    The fact he’s not even coming under pressure is hilarious.

    Given the state of that almost break there by Wolves I can only assume 'the operation' has expanded its gambit to mass lobotomies.

    I hadn't clocked that Chelsea had a shirt sponsor after the last one was deemed illegal so I gave it a google.

    Ref should have done the old pointy pointy thing as he booked Sterling there, an accumulation of attempted cheating. Would definitely have time for that as a concept.

    Must be devastating to support Dundee for years then jump ship to being a Top Blue when the consistent failure gets too much, only for a geopolitical clusterfuck to condemn you to watching the same thing with a bigger budget.

    Wolves much better on paper, so I'm not sure how it's the manager's fault. Perhaps the modern football manager is just a target to lash out on for no reason.

    The big issue with Ratcliffe taking over and INEOS'ing the fuck out of the team is that steroids don't up the talent level just the stamina so the various 'marginal gains' things won't actually make the team good.

    Unlike Waff, Jimmy remembers the good ol days where Chelsea were the team full of Jorge Mendes clients instead of Wolves so he knows who wins.

    Ratcliffe taking over means you don't have the Glazers in control of who runs the footballing side of the club. That is what matters. No more investment bankers as sporting director.

    Unless you're talking about his ability to install undetectable steroid regimes I'd ask why you think the guy who's guided a team who finished 4th,17th,11th,4th,3rd prior to them taking over and converted that into a finish of 9th,5th,9th will be any better. They haven't sold a single player for over 10 million euros in their entire time owning the club so I'm not sure you can rely on Jim's eye for the transfer market.

    Oh yeah you're right. Actually ineos coming in with a focus on the football side rather than commercial and investing £300m is a net negative for all involved.

    Have Ineos won a grand tour since taking over from Sky? Geoghan-Hart's Giro? Feels like they probably don't have the steroid thing all that down pat, and he was/they were just mugged off buying into that team.

    I guess at least he isn't buying into United at the top of their cycle.

    Reckon he could persuade Pep over?

    What if the two are related? They've been shitting themselves for months.
