All the data I've looked at (the league table) says that Chelsea are shite.
Turn the table upside down, and they should be top four had Ev and Forest not docked points.

They’re 4th on XG for vs XG against I think.

But it’s a very very crude measure to use.

Anyway, they’re planning to seek, both James and Gallagher in the summer to avoid breaching PSR.

There’s is no single way that anyone is paying out big money for James.  Because the guy is injured more than Thiago. 
And Gallagher is one year from going on a free.

And on paper they are their two best players.  :lmao. What a way to run a club

xG does not factor in the quality of the players taking the shot or facing it.

Thst's the difference between them and United. United are shit in their box but efficient in the opposition's box while Chelsea are shit in both boxes. Only Palmer has that quality that's keeping them in midtable.

Also, anyone club that signs James is off their head because of his wages and injury record. You are right.

Basically,  they've been reset to what they used to be. They are just hoping that their big money flops will come good.

With reports saying that Sir Rat wants to go more British at United, I wouldn't be surprised to see them both over there  ;D

Imagine what Southgate could do with James, Gallagher, Mount and Rashy and the new Zidane/Mathaus. They'll run away with the league. Be afraid everyone, be very afraid.
I’ve plenty links to the clubs playing and backroom staff as many on here know thank you very much. Fair enough, I admire your optimism. But you’re absolute ostriches if you think this squad, even with 2 or 3 new, “cut price” players with potential get us anywhere close

So…. Their accounts show that they made PSR. By…… selling their hotel (which is part of one of their stands) to….er.. themselves

The whole deal to sell Chelsea once UK sanctions kicked in has been as corrupt as fuck. From the terms of the sale, to the destination of the money raised by the sale, to the terms of ownership, to the funding of the ownership, and now the avoidance of PSR sanctions by some of history's most creative of accounting.

Then again, what did we expect once Johnson's Tory government got involved?

I've been banging this drum for ages, hoping that one of the, still world leading, investigative journalists we have in this country will get involved. The wait continues.

Chelsea got out of FFP as they sold their hotel to themselves.

Appears they have £164m worth of assets left to sell to themselves. This is a farce. The other clubs need to vote to stop this asap.

That loophole is a huge advantage to London clubs where real estate is bonkers, and often quite shady with so many loopholes already.

They will eventually run out of assets to sell but it will have given them £300m extra moving room. Championship and Uefa banned this loophole but it's not banned in premier league. I suspect and hope there are strong calls to ban it with immediate affect. I suspect Chelsea have already sold their £164m assets to themselves hence why they are not worried about failing FFP this year.

The league has been proactive in that respect. Chelsea look desperate to me so I find what they're doing very funny. It's not like the league would have docked them many points for it anyway.

If they qualify for a UEFA competition then they have to comply with tighter rules and they should already be building towards that. Their strategy is a huge failure.

Not sure what others think but if the team is 4-0 up and you have already scored a hat trick, you would want to be some sort of selfish asshole not to let one of your teammates take the penalty but insist you do it.

He's cracked 20 PL goals and is equal to the freak that his former club spunked a bucket load of cash on instead of giving him a break.

Tend to think the one who has a strop about not being given a penalty to try and rack up the easy goals when they’re not the regular taker is the one who looks more pathetic in that scenario. But then there were two of them at it! Or was Madueke trying to keep the peace?

At the same time, not sure what to make of the chinless wonder Palmer. Top scorer in the league but has 9 penalties. Even without those that would be a very tidy return in his first season I guess, but I think it will lead to him being slightly overhyped when they talk about England starting line ups etc, not that I’m overly bothered by that.

Anybody else notice when the young lad scored Chelsea’s 6th goal. He ran to the crowd and some big fat cockney wankah , Razor Ruddock lookalike, had his arms outstretched waiting for an embrace but got ignored , he then started having a go at the player and swearing at him. Made me larf it did.

Haha missed that. I did comment about how OTT celebrations were (call the celebration police!) but my son was more charitable. Guess he’s a boyhood fan and a big moment for him. Is he any good? Gets a lot of sub appearances but can’t say I’ve ever seen him do anything. He had about half an hour to put that away last night!

It was hilarious. I tried to find it on the sky 3 minute highlights but they showed it from different angle so couldn’t see it. Never heard of the young lad that scored. That Palmer looks a player tho doesn’t he. Just what we need!

After this weekend's results, maybe Chelsea can take some points off of Arsenalon Tuesday.   Be funny if they do - they are only 3 points back from United, with a game in hand (and massively better GD).  United don't play either until Wednesday, so a win would elevate them (temporarily) to 6th.  Obviously Arsenal have the CL QF on Wednesday first, and then Chelsea play City in the FA Cup on Saturday.
