    At a glance I make it that 8 of those Chelsea players on the pitch were at the slub before the start of this season - not sure what they spunked all that money on really. I mean the Man City bench is basically sat there laughing at them:

    Strongest bench in premier league history. I can't see anybody getting close to this team for at least a couple of seasons.

    Akanji £15m. Probably the defensive signing of the season.

    *cough* Botman *cough*

    nah you're probably correct. After a few sloppy goals recently we no longer have the best defensive record in the league. Crazy that we're even close though.

    Well Pogba was free until they bought him back again for £89m or something so yeah you could say that.

    It would’ve been Saliba until he got hurt and completely destroyed the whole Arsenal team.

    Yeah though I think they bought him a few years back and he's just been on loan in France for a year or two from them?

    Still though, I'm yet to see anything much from Fofana to justify they hype compared to the likes of those mentioned above.

    Looks like loads of empty seats behind the City goal. I can only conclude Chelsea aren’t much of a draw.

    No £80m player would look good alongside mediocre players like £60m Cucurella or £33m Coulibaly being protected by £100m Fernandez.

    It’s the jewish festival of Shavuot next week so the Glazer’s will need a day off for that. This cash cow may have to be milked for another year.

    Kinda fitting that my last PL match for however long had a great moment ruined by VAR. Just got in and he's not even ****ing offside either <doh>

    Gonna be so gutted if it's announced for championship next season.
