What was Jackson thinking ? What an idiot . A shocking , truly shocking display by Chelsea is such an important game. And don't get me started on the embarrassingly biased commentary from Fletcher and McCoist. Tempted to bin this second half off tbf

This whole thread could easily apply to music .... listen to what you want , don't let others tell you what is and what isn't "good" or "bad" - If you love it, fill your boots .
I’m saying this in my capacity as an author and once and future library worker:
Read whatever the hell you want.
I cannot impress enough on you that the “important” books aren’t important if you don’t jive with them. The popular books, the canon, the whatever. Read what you want.

Less goals than I imagined - I thought we'd get battered - but apart from that, this game played out pretty much as I thought it would with us never seriously looking like scoring... In summary a dull , dispiriting game

Acheampong has been the standout performer but otherwise Chelsea look impotent going forward - I guess that's what happens when you play without a striker and with no intensity whatsoever .

Whenever Callum Hudson-Odoi scores for Forest there is always the inevitable howl of "why did we sell him?" A reminder that he scored 4 goals for Chelsea in 72 league matches over 5 seasons during which time he spent almost a year in total injured and missed 58 league games while crocked ...

A sad day to recommend a comprehensive article that’s a thoroughly good read about the opportunity presented by the grassroots levy. It sits as a difficult reminder that the solution exists but will come too late for some venues. Excellent piece from Mark Sutherland

A Lifeline for Indie Venues: Can a New Tax on Arena and Stadium Concert Tickets Save the U.K.’s Grassroots Circuit?
With U.K. independent music venues closing at an alarming rate, a new steers £1 from each arena and stadium concert ticket to indies. Can it work?

I mean , great to see a win and a clean sheet - can't argue with 4-0 and hopefully that's a platform to build on , but bloody hell Southampton were pitiful .

Anyone thinking this was defeat solely down to a goalkeeping error is wilfully missing the point . Another desperately disjointed , confused and headless performance from front to back.

There's a lot of blame being laid at Marescas door - I've said it before - he is not blameless but .....there are fundamental issues with this squad that go way beyond the manager. Terrible recruitment , injuries, a profound lack of character in the players we do have, no on-field leadership ....

Mortifying - not sure when I've seen a more gutless performance . No player on that pitch merited more than a 4/10 & that's generous. Our manager appears to have given up or is paralyzed by indecision or both . The owners haven't got a clue and the SDs need to be given their P45s. What a shambles.
