A thread of some of my favourite Chelsea moments and why. Get ready for some bangers! Happy birthday Chelsea 💙 #CFC120
Today marks 120 years of Chelsea Football Club. This game is what we make it. 💙🥹
Fofana v Ndiaye or does one move to the right side? In any case Everton are shaping up to have a good season
🚨🔵 EXCLUSIVE: Everton are in advanced talks to sign Malick Fofana from Olympique Lyon. Official bid submitted and clubs now in direct talks, with Everton also in contact with player’s camp. Everton in discussions on personal terms with Fofana, talks underway. #EFC 🧨
On this day I tweeted about: - Enzo being better OOP - PSG - Jorgensen being a poo GK Think the big man probably came for the Jorgensen slander 😂

Hello @grok Who is the most famous person to visit my profile? It doesn't need to be a mutual. Don't tag them. Just say who it was.
Woke nonsense at it's absolute best
#drfc no way we've conceded this
Yeah, Lampard. Won everything he could have won with Chelsea (most of them multiple times). 3x PFA TOTY 2x England POTY PL, FWA, PFA player of the season UEFA midfielder of the year England POTY 211 goals + 102 assists for Chelsea Legend.
“Lampard”
Not sure St.Etienne will have the funds for the buy option (relegated). Could do so and then move on immediately for profit. Surprised Sunderland don't want him - really good player. Was decent for Chelsea U18 and surprised we let him go to West Ham at that stage even.
🇫🇷 Pierre Ekwah - 23 y/o - Sunderland - 189cm, left footed Was out on loan at Saint Etienne this season, and it seems his parent club doesn't have him in their plans for this upcoming Premier League season, and I'm not sure why. He uses his stature to cover ground oop and win…
Think Jesse Derry will stay U21 and supplement Kavuma-McQueen when he's not with U18. Only started twice in PL2 last season. Loan might be a little early.
Jesse Derry was expected since December Aim is for him to go on loan. Very good player. U21s is not acceptable for his level
It seems Chelsea have finally landed a long term target in Jesse Derry. There were lots of changing reports on Derry over the last few weeks, so seems Chelsea have fought off some strong interest. I got to watch a decent amount of Derry this summer at the U19 Euros, where he was…
🚨 We understand that while Jesse Derry was set to join Bayern Munich amidst interest from other Champions League clubs, Chelsea swooped in late last week and are now set to sign the England U19 international.
Exclusive from @TheChelseaSpot x.com/TheChelseaSpot…
🚨🔵 Chelsea agree deal to sign 18 year old winger Jesse Derry from Crystal Palace beating 8 European clubs for the England wingers. Medical will take place on Friday as the teenage sensation looked set for a move to Germany before Chelsea hijacked the move.
Mosquera for €15m is very very good business. Fair play
🚨❤️🤍 Official, confirmed. Cristhian Mosquera joins Arsenal on €15m fee plus add-ons from Valencia. “It’s an opportunity that came up and I couldn’t let it pass me by. I’m joining a historic, massive club”.
Assuming "better than Hato"... While I really like ISS and would loan now to integrate in 26-27, he's never played a senior game. He's not ready for champions league immediately. At ~£35m if Hato flops you can still move with relative ease. Just keep the pathway open for ISS
Ishe Samuels-Smith is better
Media companies publicize this stuff, but... - Trastevere are only 10-15 years old as a club - Are inside Rome (where Roma + Lazio are the main teams) - Are in Serie D (which is basically semi pro) It means less than nothing, especially in pre-season with players like Dybala
Jackson is immediately behind the current elite crop of players (mostly older than him). The only issue the others aren't just accumulating xG, they're turning it into more goals and missing less big chances. That said I'd still keep him 100%
Players who’ve accumulated more non-penalty xG than Nicolas Jackson across Europe’s top five leagues since the start of 23/24: 🔘 Erling Haaland 🔘 Harry Kane 🔘 Robert Lewandowski 🔘 Serhou Guirassy 🔘 Mo Salah 🔘 Kylian Mbappé 🔘 Alexander Isak An absolutely elite group. 🤷♂️
The season is finally done... Two trophies, clear development, and yet still not perfect. ✍️ @CFCriley2 reviews the 2024/25 season and gives his player ratings #CFC | #Chelsea thechelseaspot.com/2025/07/19/che…
Ann-Katrin Berger has twice beaten cancer, been overlooked by Germany 🇩🇪 for yeeeeaaars, had to wait so long to secure her place, then today made the most astonishing save to prevent late own goal, scored her penalty, saved pen to win shoot out. Superstar 🌟
