@FrankKhalidUK Thoughts on Garnacho making the Argentina squad.

Such a shame that our current and ex Chelsea players have not been picked by Brazil for the World Cup.

With Barco coming is Cucurella on his way out.

🚨✅OFFICIAL: Argentina World Cup final squad announced🇦🇷 As Lionel Messi misses out due to... See below

Garnacho makes the Argentina world cup squad. Funny old game.

🚨🎙️| Pep Guardiola: 🗣️“First of all, I want to apologize to Chelsea fans because what happened yesterday was very painful to watch. I watched the game back and honestly, Chelsea should have had at least two clear penalties maybe even more. I was shocked that none of them were given. As managers we accept losing, but losing because of decisions like that is very difficult because it breaks the hearts of supporters who spend their money, time and emotions supporting their clubs. Football should never make fans feel cheated. I’m happy we won, yes… but I have to be honest. Those decisions were not fair to Chelsea. If that happened against Manchester City, I would be speaking even louder. Referees and VAR need to do better because moments like this damage football.”

🚨🔵 Xabi Alonso signed his contract earlier today at Chelsea, everything completed. ✍🏼 The agreement until June 2030 is done, sealed and will be announced in the next hours. Xabi’s contract to run from July 1st but set to start working immediately also on transfers.

The difference Levi Colwill makes to this team is genuinely ridiculous. Came back from an ACL injury like he hasn’t missed a single game. Just absolutely class.

🚨🎙️ Wayne Rooney on Chelsea’s controversial FA Cup Final defeat against Manchester City: “I’ve watched football long enough to know when a team’s been hard done by, and Chelsea were absolutely robbed today. I don’t care who you support, some of those decisions were unbelievable. The first incident on Joao Pedro before halftime is a penalty for me all day long. Khusanov doesn’t go for the ball, he goes straight through the man. Anywhere else on the pitch that’s a foul instantly, so why does it suddenly become ‘not enough contact’ inside the box? Makes no sense. Then in the second half, the one on Caicedo… Doku clearly catches him as he’s driving forward. Chelsea players are surrounding the referee asking for consistency because we’ve seen those given plenty of times this season. VAR had every opportunity to step in and once again nothing happens. And the handball shout? That’s another one people will debate all week. The ball hits O’Reilly’s arm from Enzo’s cross and I honestly don’t know what defenders are supposed to do anymore because we’ve seen penalties given for far less than that. Every week the interpretation changes. What frustrated me most was the reaction from the officials. No urgency, no proper review, no referee going over to the monitor. In a cup final, with moments that big, you have to get them right. Chelsea players looked furious because deep down they probably felt the decisions were never going their way today. Three huge calls, all ignored. That changes games, especially finals. If this happened to Manchester United, Liverpool or Arsenal, everyone would be talking about it for weeks. But because it’s Manchester City on the other side, people seem scared to really question it properly. Chelsea didn’t only lose the final today… they were let down badly by the officiating.”

@UTD_Seth001 Absolutely rubbish. SH never made this statement. WHY?

🚨 Steve Holland on Matthijs de Ligt’s injury situation at Manchester United: “Everyone at the club is disappointed for Matthijs because no player wants to go through another serious injury setback or surgery.” “But at the same time, Manchester United is a football club that needs stability and reliability if they want to compete again at the highest level.” “You need players who can show up every three days, every week, every month. That consistency is what builds top teams.” “That is why players like Bruno Fernandes are so valuable. Managers trust players who are always available, always fighting and always ready to perform.” “With centre-backs especially, consistency is everything. Partnerships, rhythm and understanding only come when players stay fit and available.” “It becomes very difficult to build a defensive structure around players who continue suffering injury problems because every setback forces the team to restart again.” “Manchester United are trying to return to the Champions League and compete seriously again, and for that you need defenders who are stable, physically reliable and available throughout the season.” “The club will support Matthijs completely through his recovery, but long term Manchester United need centre-backs they can depend on day in, day out.” {@MENnewsdesk }

@ChelsOnTheRoad @TheChelseaForum Was there for that match. Big guns came on at 60 minutes and changed the game.

Chelsea vs Spurs. FA Cup semi-final 2017 💙 Matic’s thunderbolt at Wembley. Hazard off the bench. Conte’s Chelsea 🔥 ✨ #CFC

@kieolfc @LFCRetail @robbelaar

The Reds have opened up shop on Oxford Street becoming the first Premier League team to do so Massive @LFCRetail

@Blue_Footy If he manages like he played, the good times are back.

Alonso didn't even have elite top players at Leverkusen; he just made average players look good. He's so good at putting players where they will show the best version of themselves.

@leecfc10 James as well.

🚨 EXCLUSIVE: Chelsea and Xabi Alonso have reportedly reach pre agreement on contract terms with some details pending but it's expected to be completed soon. Xabi has as also requested players like Cole Palmer, Joao Pedro, Cucurella, Enzo Fernandez, Pedro Neto, Estevao, should be UNTOUCHABLE.

@secretsourc Mmmm will be surprised if this is a done deal yet.

🚨🔵 💣MAJOR EXCLUSIVE: Xabi Alonso to Chelsea, deal done and sealed. Agreement completed on a three-year plus deal, with Alonso set to lead the Blues from pre-season. Chelsea have accepted key conditions requested by Xabi, including more control in the project. Players excited for the new chapter. #CFC

Best band from London, Queen for me? London’s best band, who do you reckon?

Lawyer Mark Stephens, acting for the families, said: ‘This represents a serious failure to protect the rights of families who have been deceived and lied to from day one.” #chinookjustice dailymail.com/news/article-1…

@CFCJnR Totally Agree 👍

Did anyone else see Summerville cooking the likes of Rice and Saliba for West Ham today? I wasn't joking when I said he's better than Ndiaye, they will probably get relegated now. This is the best realistic Winger that Chelsea can sign on the left, Premier League ready.
