I think they're catchable over the next 10 games if we get our act together

Sometimes, absolutely.
If Deontay Wilder punched the Judi Dench on the arm as hard as he could, you'd view it very differently than if she punched him on the arm as hard as she could.
Both would be wrong though. That's the point?
Me stealing one of your chips while you go for a piss is wrong. Me robbing your house of it's entire contents is wrong.
There's degrees to "wrong", THAT is the point.
And this is nothing like the analogy you are using...
That's an analogy to show why "wrong is wrong" is an asinine statement.
Judi Dench v Deontay Wilder is my analogy to show why strength and gender does matter in terms of how physical interaction is widely judged.
And it's a ridiculous one in the context of what is being discussed unfortunately. Nothing alike!
My point was it doesn't change what is right and what is wrong.
I am going to miss Rudiger. He's a bastard, a warrior type; and under Tuchel has been in the top 3 CB in the league IMO.
Seems to me someone has been in Christensen's ear, too. He was all set to renew but suddenly hasnt... Barcelona heavily linked. Big losses those 2 will be. [if AC does go]. They'll need replacing. Kounde probably

And it was a quite harmless body check. I could understand a bit of outrage if she performed a two footed sliding tackle or something like that, as that really is dangerous.
He shouldn't have run onto the pitch like an absolute knob. His own fault. No one complains when the security at matches rugby tackle the female pitch invaders when there have been some.
The problem here is that dickhead wandering around the pitch and taking the piss in the first place. Him then being clattered in such a beautiful manner is pretty much poetic justice.
Sadly we also have to take part in that stupid, worthless, shit, pathetic Club World Cup nonsense. What an absolute waste of time. I'd love the club to not take part, its such a bullshit tournament
No chance. Who gives a feck anyway, barely any difference between finishing 3rd and 4th.
Tuchel clearly hasn’t got the memo that elite football management is about making friends, ‘pashun’ and expressing yourself.
That is class. So funny to see people in here whining about a guy thinking it’s ok to invade a professional football match to TAKE PICTURES of the women and then getting his dumb privileged ass put on the floor
Great goal, reminds me of one of Rooney’s chips he used to do.
Yea, it's nothing to be outraged about. The only culprit is the moron who invaded the pitch.
That’s 1/4 of the season. That’s a lot. If you couldn’t close the gap in that time I’d be worried.
We are going through a difficult patch but it won’t last forever so times ticking.
No, right and wrong should obviously be based on how the involved people are linked to Manchester United FC. Everybody knows that.
I wouldn't really say it did, the UCL was about as comfortable a win as you can get in such a competition and I would say his league efforts were good even if we did fall out of top 4 (like I said the fact it even became a possibility again was thanks to Tuchel).
The sexism in here is pretty shameful to be honest.
No he couldn't, but the tackle was unnecessary, he was already leaving the pitch ffs...plus kid looked like a high schooler.
Well, considering USA female senior team lost to U-16 boys teams.
You gotta love how far a big bag of Roubles can go at UEFA HQ.
"Chelsea are the jammiest, luckiest gits in Cup draws."
Pat Nevin reaction to the Champions League draw and Chelsea getting Lille twice

Pat Nevin doesn't know what he's talking about. The same Pat Nevin in 2015 was "astonished" and surprised Eden Hazard was statistically a much better dribbler than David Silva. That sums Pat Nevin up.
If you read the thread we have rarely got easy Champions league knock out games.
Yep and it was just as tedious when some of our fans kept claiming conspiracy when we kept getting the worst possible draw for a while.
Shit happens.
Pat knows
Not sure. They have a massive injury list at the moment but are apparently due quite a few back soon. Losing Chilwell, Kovacic and Kante, whilst having to play, apprantly semi-fit, Jorginho and Alonso would hit any team.
For me, I am slightly amazed they've been able to still eke out the points. If they are able to keep in touching distance to the Dippers and City (say six points) by the end of Dec, I can still see them making it a three horse race.
Kante and Kovacic back in training. Jorginho and Loftus-Cheek potentially replace them in the physio room. Half fit or not match fit Kovacic and Kante will now likely start vs Wolves.
In many ways Wolves and Villa are the worst type of teams to play away when we're in a rut like this, I could be wrong but I feel we never win these type of away games when our form is so so or worse.
Would genuinely feel more confident if we were facing Liverpool or City as our form often goes out of the window in the big ones.
I agree. We almost never win those types of games when we're in poor form. I looked at the schedule and lost the little bit of confidence I had left
There's a few Portuguese chaps on here, right? You've gotta be Chelsea fans now, I don't make the rules but there it is.
Postponement rejected this morning. More positive cases, too.
This will be an absolute slog today

Who is all out do we know?
And people were complaining when Arteta said we should have set rules or protocols when dealing with Covid cases and postponements, yet no-one seems to know what the criteria is for postponements.
Not yet.
Someone on twitter said it was Alonso, James and Jorginho but may not be true.
This is a shit show. Would Chelsea’s huge squad be a factor here? It’s hard to say 7 is a lot when your squad is so packed
Our squad is the same size as everyone else's.
They can't make decisions based on perceived quality of back-up players, can they?
So Saul or Pulisic and Azpi as the wingbacks and Kante/Barkley as the CM's. Yikes.
