Wallace is alright but I still don't see a future for him at Chelsea.

ALso, you guys are winning the Premier League lol, only actual good team right now.


Loan policy has been a mess this season. Only Moses and Bertrand are regularly playing (at a high level), and those two will be sold.


at least we still have bamfordinho to look forward to.

Lol true. I just don't see how we'd lose it. Best team, best coach, good lead on points, all the other contenders suck this year, etc. Can't celebrate until it's over, but I hear the fat lady right around the corner.

Traore not going to start this upcoming game. Renato Ibarra has taken his place on the right wing.

Now I remember why I took a break from watching VItesse. This team sucks the joy and positivity right out of you.

What happened to Chelsea's plans to build a new stadium btw?

I know they were interested in Battersea Power Station a couple years back but lost to some Malaysian investor.
That was kinda sad. Battersea would've been a very unique and intriguing football stadium.

Not many suitable spots due to cost and proximity, and Chelsea Pitch Owners - who own the pitch and the right to the Chelsea Football Club name - aren't very open to relocation.

Still exploring stadium expansion but there's only so much they can do.

Battersea idea was one of the best in sports but oh well

Why is it that Chelsea always drop points at the same stadiums year after year.

St. James Park, Villa Park, Stadium of Light, Hawthorns.
Dirk Nowitzki, Steve Nash, Kevin Garnett, Toni Kroos, Pep Guardiola, Ernst Happel, Joachim Löw.

Goodison too, but they broke that curse this season.

Bertrand Traore is playing striker today against Ajax, and has done a fantastic job at it, just scored his 2nd goal. Also done a good job with his passing.

Wallace was subbed off after a head injury, but he seems ok.

4-0 against Ajax is a weird scoreline even if it was just a cup match. Didnt know they were capable of keeping clean sheet

Just an anomaly. We'll concede at least 3 next game.

Vitesse leading Heracles at the break 3-0, 2 goals from Traore, who has been awesome at striker again! Finishes with confidence, made very good passes as well. Maybe this is his true position? He has the selfishness and confidence for it, and has been surprisingly good at staying onside as well.

Finish for the first goal was awesome. Think he still needs to get a lot stronger, but glad to finally see him play well.

Messed up a chance, but looked tired. Substituted now. Vitesse defence asking for trouble.

Watching Achenteh play really makes me miss van Aanholt. My god this guy is awful, all he does is give the other team chances. Good thing goalkeeper is playing well.
