Match Day Thread Chelsea FC v Sunderland AFC - Saturday 25th October 2025 - KO 15:00

he did well i think, not a game to 'show yourself off' but he stuck with the plan along with the rest of the squad, did himself no harm i feel.

not sure which stream i ended up watching but the commentator just kept saying how good we were playing the game calling it a near perfect away performance and this was well before we got the winner...so anyone reading that chelsea 'report' needs to go looking for a fair report.

 

The amount of fannies throwing strops because we lost to Man Utd are very quiet

let’s get carried away man

 

The Chelsea fans were shocking. Sunderland fans were in full voice even after going a goal down and throughout the game. Our fans are 2nd to none.

 

I'd held back until now, but realistically this team is better than anything I've seen before.

The Peter Reid period was exciting but chaotic, Keane was never going to succeed and other attempts were far from convincing.

This is serious, professional and totally planned.

Everything looks like it's being organised by a crack team of football experts playing some kind of computer game.

I can't see a single reason why things should falter ...

... after today I've officially suspended my disbelief.

 

Highlights on Sky PL now

 

That match today was excellent. They scored but apart from that my nerves was more whether we could do what I was hoping and score a winner!

Unreal! For all their posession we did more with it and seen multiple pundits say similar. Only place I've seen suggest it was a smash and grab was the Chelsea website bullshit, the ministry of information from 1984 had wrote the ****er!

 

Totally the pessimistic devil in me but if we’d beaten Burnley we’d be top of the ****ing league. Annoying

 

Aye, some setup we’ve got now mate.

Posted earlier that lads with the pedigree of Xhaka and Nordi have bought right into the club inside three months, look at them on the footage of Talbi’s goal behind Roefs.

Lads like them haven’t signed here for a relegation struggle, their aspirations and those of the likes of ELF, Talbi, Diarra and Sadiki will be to target European football at the earliest opportunity.

KLD has sold us to Xhaka, I don’t get the impression that Xhaka would tolerate pipe dreams or kite flying. I still pinch myself when I see him line up for us.

Really impressed with the regime and looking forward to how this all pans out.

Also encouraged to see that RLB seemed a bit peeved about their goal.

Onward and upward.

 

Is this the changing of the old guard, are the three promoted teams gonna stay up and three established teams go down.
Six more wins and a couple of draws is that us staying up.?

 

Played well, confident and reassuring in everything he did. Also, played the pass from just outside our box for Brobbey and then had the nouce/confidence to follow the pass and to actually be the furthest player forward as Talbi scored. Not bad for a centre half in the second minute of injury time

 

I couldn't care less about Leeds and Burnley tbh.

I still think both could go down because they don't have the strength in depth.

Sunderland are already way ahead of them.

 

No She-ra tonight on MOTD

 

Dan Ballard has put on a few clem right at the end

 

Shame. He needs a double dose of humility.

And a ****ing hair transplant, the baldy nob jockey.

 

Fixed it for you.

 

Happy with that Charles.

 

We seem to have a preference for swashbuckling CBs, every one of them is attacking minded and covers the entire pitch. They are a massive goal threat.

 

Yes talbi laad. The time to be second is not now. Baller

 

Support was magnificent down there, as per. It’s unreal having a team who properly care but also the quality to go with it. Good times.
