@brfootball For those of you who hate refugees coming to this country. Not all of them are scroungers. Some just need a stable country to show their talents to the world. How many Alphonso’s have died in the see trying to look for a stage to perform. Let’s show solidarity for refugees.

Joao Pedro is our 25/26 Player of the Season. 🇧🇷💙

Our brilliant Brazilian. 🇧🇷

🚨 Pep Guardiola to leave position as Manchester City manager at end of this season. 55yo Spaniard departing after trophy-laden decade & set to be replaced by Enzo Maresca. No official confirmation yet from #MCFC. W/ @SamLee @TheAthleticFC after @MailSport nytimes.com/athletic/62693…

@G0ldboost @1ndy_B List the 30 squad pls. Y’all act like you the teams better than the fanbase of that team knows. Also there’re about few other teams in the PL with 30 man squad. So whats all these yapping for ?

@whonda85 @1ndy_B You’ve got 30 first team squad players. Why are you acting like 40 is absurd ?

I saw these exact same clips with Slots Feyenoord carving teams open before he joined us. All modern day managers are tactically astute, it’s about managing big names and ego’s to make them do what you want them to do that makes you a success at a really big club.

@1ndy_B Lying for the sake of it. Point out where Chelsea have a 40 man squad or you’re still holding on to a situation that happened three years ago?

Alonso didn’t manage to do it for more than 3 months at Real Madrid so it will be interesting to see him keep a 40 man squad happy at Chelsea. Big clubs need a big manager that commands respect along with the tactical side of things. Not many of them out there tbh.

Forced my guy to book a therapy session after his breakup. He swore he was okay. Picked him up after the session because I was proud of him. The ride was quiet for the most part. When were almost at his crib, he held my hand and said, “Bro, anka girl noo ku me…”

Xabi Alonso’s message to Chelsea fans: “Chelsea is one of the biggest clubs in world football and it fills me with immense pride to become manager of this great club”. 
“From my conversations with the ownership group and sporting leadership, it is clear we share the same ambition. We want to build a team capable of competing consistently at the highest level and fighting for trophies. ‘There is great talent in the squad and huge potential at this football club and it will be my great honour to lead it. Now the focus is on hard work, building the right culture and winning trophies”.

It’s not my nature. I give my man proper, meaningful and sensible gifts. You should try that too. Gift giving is neither a one way street nor an entitlement. Don’t expect champagne treatment when all you offer is ‘a king was born today’, singlets and boxers. And don’t just wait for occasions.

Chelsea Football Club is delighted to announce the appointment of Xabi Alonso as Manager of the Men’s Team. The Spaniard will begin his role on July 1, 2026, having agreed a four-year contract at Stamford Bridge. Welcome to Chelsea, Xabi!

Xabi Alonso is set to have the title “manager” at Chelsea rather than “head coach”, indicating greater say at #CFC

@rajsinghchohan First manager in this Clearlake era that I’ve seen you say something positive about on the get go. Tells volumes

Alonso is an excellent coach tactically and some would say he shoud’ve waited for a better job. But the big appeal for him here is he also wants a lot of control instead of the modern head coach-sporting director type relationship. He wants an Arteta-type blank canvas where he can override the board to make signings that he wants. For Chelsea’s board, their recruitment model is not good, so Alonso’s demands are a better bet than trusting the guys in their hierarchy to build the squad. We have a 4 year sample size of transfer failure with them. Alonso shaping their recruitment vision, is a last Hail Mary to save the Clearlake era as they have shown themselves incapable of forming a hierarchy who makes good decisions. Whether Alonso has a good enough vision to warrant this type of control is still TBC and make or break for this appointment to work. Recruitment at Leverkusen was purely handled by Simon Rolfes who is excellent and gave him excellent young talents to develop. Alonso instructed Real Madrid to sign Huijsen, Carreras & Mastantuono which is a mixed bag. Generally I’m against coach’s having majority recruitment power. They have too many responsibilities to be doing this job as well as coaching the team. But there are instances like Arteta where the pros outweigh the cons. Alonso’s player pull will also likely be big, so overall I would’ve done the same in Clearlake’s situation. Look forward to seeing the first transfers as it will tell us a lot about the direction/success of this appointment.

Ass shape is more important than ass size… let’s talk about it 🤣
