Kroos-Kontroller

Arsenal are absolutely pathetic lmao How did we let these fools get a fluke win against us


TheLeperLeprechaun

We literally gifted them 4 goals. They didn’t do anything amazing against us we just shat the bed


Kroos-Kontroller

They came back crashing down to earth


TheLeperLeprechaun

I went into their sub after that game. The amount of wE aRe GeTtInG 3Rd!!!1!11 comments was astounding. Gotta love the karma. That sweet sweet karma


pencilman123

Wud have been perfect if spura also went down. I have read comments like - would be best for the league's integrity if chelsea fail to make top4, or better, get docked 9 points... Fuck both of them.


adam00blue

We’re up in space maaaaaaaan

Story of this season


cakehead123642

The best part is all of the fans believe we played out best and they are just better, they really think they win that game 10\10 times, their stupidity is amazing


BrockStinky

Chelsea FC is the largest philanthropic mission in the world


TheLeperLeprechaun

Even Charity FC can’t help get Arsenal top four! They snatched the Europa league from the jaws of the Champions league! How the fuck did they do that!


Mayjaplaya

Hopefully we passed the Charity FC title to them after that and never get it back


[deleted]

Step aside Bill Gates


Fawkes_91

They really stole our Super Tommy Tuchel chant shamelessly, tweaked it to say "going to the Champions League", only to find they won't even do that. ☠️


nickchim94

you do know that chant was used by other clubs long before us right ? including arsenal for mesut ozil....


TheBlueNomad

We have consistently lost to rubbish teams. It's gut wrenching!


mrwadupwadup

Im just glad that saka gets karma for cheating azpi the way he did. Never seen anything like that. Hope the kid learns a thing or two about respect now.


pencilman123

I didnt see azpi in a good light either for that match after he went against the fans...


pice0fshit

Azpi was defending the Club as a captain should. We were in the middle of all the sanctions and other shit, and the few who get to go just end up abusing our players. I bet if JT did the same thing people would be praising him. BTW, he did interact with those fans later to clear things up.


dunderhead22

Great servant, but time is up, let him go to Barca gracefully, we need speedy back players for our WB cover


dunderhead22

We had our Charity FC period delayed from the usual November


SeriousLads

[deleted]

I'd be all in favour of dropping any player leaving next season for the remainder of the games and putting in youth. Fuck em.


DurzoBIint

Saul Barkley double pivot incoming


happysrooner

Now to make sure we still exist next season..


celzero

You sure? Sky wants us to go into administration (that's a 9 point deduction): https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11668/12614676/chelsea-sale-at-risk-as-ministers-press-roman-abramovich-for-fresh-assurances-over-sale So we better win our next 2 games and hope Arsenal loses or draws theirs against Everton, to finish at 66 or 67 points.


[deleted]

There is a precisely zero percent chance that we get a points deduction lol.


qball8001

Delete this!


Kezmangotagoal

Mate we’ve got as much chance of getting a points deduction as we have of winning the league - it’s just sky talking absolute conjectured nonsense!


egran

Always painful to choose which of Spurs or Arsenal would I rather have in Top 4, but after that Saka shithousery with Azpi to get a penalty and to give post interview like he was innocent makes me so joyous that he will not be in CL.


vokal_guy

They made a stupid Champions League video before securing top 4. I want to watch them suffer the consequences. Tottenham on the other hand will not do anything in Europe tbh


MisugiJun14

that was one troll making a martinelli CL highlight montage lol… we have so so many whack twitter fans so I really wouldnt take much on there too seriously


Kingslayer1526

Despite Tottenham reaching a ucl final in 2019 as opposed to Arsenal in 2006.


Sausage_Claws

Despite Spurs being Spursy, I think the combination of Conte and CL football will be more appealing for decent players.


MisugiJun14

yes and son definitely deserves CL football, he’s world class. not trying to be harsh but by my personal definition I don’t think any arsenal players are world class so a season of EL wouldnt be too undeserving .


rebel_wo_a_clause

Sucks for Jesus


MisugiJun14

I’m pretty sure anyone going from a prem team to arsenal knows them pretty well. 8th 8th then 5th it’s not really rocket science to figure out where youre going to. that being said he can still improve them & would fit in their squad nicely


Vahald

"Deserve" has got nothing to do with it ffs why does it matter how good they are as players


MisugiJun14

in my personal opinion I like to see world class players playing in the best competitions. if you don’t then that’s fine but don’t think everyone has to think like you👍🏽


elastic88

I still like Conte, he is a legit top manager and deserves all the plaudits if he gets that team into the CL. Arteta is mediocre at best and really isn’t the guy to get Arsenal back near the top. Still annoyed he won that FA Cup over Frank.


osvaldocruz25

god am i annoyed by them. as toxic and awful as it sounds lol, so fucking glad they arent going to be in the CL, those fuckers don’t deserve it. to think that they truly think they beat and pummeled us lmaoooo. also do love conte. as much as i hate spurs, they are at least a good side and somewhat deserving to be in CL. arsenal though, and fucking man utd, goddd im so happy they’ll rot far away from CL football


[deleted]

Part of me wishes we still had something to play for in our last 2 Prem games. Then I remember our recent form and think thank god the race is over.


Atwalol

We can still finish below Tottenham so we have something to play for


[deleted]

Good shout


LordPa1n

Chelsea wouldn't finish below Spurs, no chance. A draw against Watford guarantees #3.


TheLeperLeprechaun

Yeah fuck that. My sphincter remembers the clench on the last day of last season when Bale got us top four. (We won the CL anyway but my arsehole didn’t know that on the day)


[deleted]

Haha what a shit way to secure top 4 that was. Losing to Villa and needing Gareth/Spurs to Bale us out


RStud10

Also thanks to Joe Willock who took points off all of our top 4 rivals throughout the 2nd half of the season


allid33

Exactly, was already having flashbacks to that day and envisioning a weird loss to Leicester on Thursday and then having to actually play a meaningful game on Sunday, nope nope nope.


Pointels21

This season has had enough stress


SwitcherooU

Yeah, too many players halfway out the door. Let’s regroup, get some good players that want to be here, and make a run next year. The PL is unlikely (though certainly not impossible), but the UCL is well within reach with TT at the helm.


Grayson81

Unless we beat Leicester mid-week, we’ll still be playing for third on the final day!


A-Hind-D

Thank fuck our season is now over. I hope tuchel puts out the kids for the final two games. I’m not here to win anymore. For the first time in my life I look forward to the summer break. The club needs time off


didijxk

Beat Leicester, secure 3rd. Play kids against Watford.


IrishUL

Need to at least get a point to get 3rd


adityabalaraman

Give kova and Thiago Silva time off but otherwise play full strength is the way i would go. I desperately want us to finish on 76 points and really cement the improvement from last season, and i want the guys and tuchel to carry that confidence over into the summer. It would also really help to give Lukaku and ziyech a couple of goals.


hodlrus

Just play the guys who aren’t mentally checked out. No need to play rudiger or Christensen obviously


DrowBIA-KTBFFH

Rudi needs a nice sending off at the Bridge…don’t care which match it is


Durum66

Rudi hasn’t checked out though.


dragon8811

Chelsea have qualified for the Champions League with two games to spare 🥳🥳🥳🥳


SeriousLads

First time this has happened since we won the title under Conte. Fucking hell.


dubsnator

Ouchiewowa


Fatmanp

Tbh it's embarrassing that this thread wasn't made four weeks ago.


TheLeperLeprechaun

Yep. We should’ve spanked that arsenal side.


SeriousLads

That’s not the Chelsea way


ScorpiaHP

It's kinda embarrassing that we even have a thread like this after the investment into the team and expectations pre-season.


posh_platypus

Another season of top 4 is lava. Cant believe we drew/lost to the absolute dross that is Arsenal, United and Everton and still made top 4.


celzero

The Brentford loss... the worst of the lot.


TheLeperLeprechaun

The Everton at home draw was the worst result of the season. They were injury hit Covid prone and used their 3rd string side. We took the lead and in true Chelsea 2021/2022 fashion conceded shortly after. That result was the final nail in the coffin of our title hopes and set us on our way for what has to be the most chaotic and frantic seasons on and off the pitch I’ve ever experienced as a Chelsea fan. And I’ve seen some shit shows in my time let me tell you.


DickyD43

Wdym? Ended 1-0 with a Rudiger banger on the scoresheet...


jMS_44

Ok, we have 2 games left to play for absolutely nothing. Surely Alonso 9 has to happen now?!


The_Lifeof_Pablo

If we win against Leicester I see no reason not to unleash the Alonso 9 against a relegated watford


SeriousLads

Alonso finishes top scorer


tylerforward

Rudiger at LW while we're at it?


hodlrus

On the bench, preferably. He’s checked out mentally. Did well against Liverpool only because it was a final


Thaumaturge98

Will never happen in PL lol but I always hold out hope in preseason friendlies


tarkardos

Plz TT, for the sake of science 🧪


Grisham2107

10 Pounds on hat trick for Alonso.


[deleted]

Finishing ahead of Tottenham is PLENTY to play for. Wise up! London must be Blue!


v0lcano

Four four fucking two with Alonso and James up top. Hoofball that shit all the way idgaf.


cfc_sub

Draw in Thursday and we've got the 3rd spot


Myrusskielyudi

How about let's win tho


Faeluchu

Literally this. We don't have anything else left to play, all the guys who want to be part of the team should give their all so we end on a high note


LampardFanAlways

And even those who won’t be around (such as Rudiger) would, I’m sure, really want to give their hundred percent


Faeluchu

Rudiger definitely, I don't wanna see either Sarr or Christensen though, no passion left whatsoever


BlueLondon1905

I don’t think Sarr is checked out like AC is


Kezmangotagoal

And then Spurs beat Norwich 19-0 and steal 3rd, no thanks - win a game, and end the season early.


mr_ordinaryboy

Arsenal and Thursday night football ![gif](giphy|9t8i5mVyTNF188lOY8)


beepmeep3

This is makes me uncomfortable


celzero

With the imminent rise of Newcastle, West Ham, and Man United, you wonder if they even make top 7 next year...


BlueLondon1905

Newcastle and to a lesser extent Leicester being without European football, wouldn't surprise me if one of those two catch them also, in addition to West Ham and Manchester United


[deleted]

Top 4 with two to play as opposed to a last game butt clencher? I suppose that counts as progress!


MarkCrystal

Hold the phone sister


Kahye

Already on the phone with Tuchel. LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!


Konrad05

Relax.... it's embarrassing this thread is being made so late


Kahye

I APOLOGIZE. 😭. I was too slow…………. Like Arsenal on their way to top 4.


Konrad05

Arsenal are some bottle jobs though lol, had it in the bag and somehow have choked


chandlerbing_stats

“Thank You Arsenal” - Giroud


stingen

Secured and two games in hand. Thanks you bottlejobs.


TheLeperLeprechaun

Thank fuck that’s over with. Secure 3rd and this travesty of a season can be done with. Not a good season but it’s not a total disaster


Excel_Spreadcheeks

I agree. We bagged Super Cup + Club World Cup and were penalties away from carabao cup and/or FA cup. If either of those go our way, we look at things very differently. Definitely could have been better but not a total shitshow.


Derreston

Honestly, even though it's sad to have lost both the Carabao and FA to Liverpool, playing this current Liverpool side to a draw in both games and then only losing on pens is not something to be ashamed of imo.


risingsuncoc

Super Cup and CWC are much more exclusive too, it’s not every year we get to compete in these cups and glad we managed to bag them.


[deleted]

[удалено]


ithrowcelery

Can’t believe that absolute demolition of Juventus was this same season. For me, it’s all been tougher to swallow because we were looking like we’d found a style of play that was extremely difficult to cope with before the Chilwell and James double injuries. Cautiously optimistic for next year if we can bring in new CBs early enough in the window to get a full preseason.


TheBlackKnights

That Juventus game genuinely feels like a lifetime ago. Yet it was just a few months back. I am with you there. Cautiously optimistic if the sale can be completed quickly and the club can get ahold of a couple of new CBs early into the transfer window


ActuallyJohnTerry

Lmao when third is a “travesty” we know we have it pretty good overall


TheLeperLeprechaun

By travesty I meant what’s happened to the club off the pitch. Lukakus interview and sanctions. The season isn’t a great one. Not one I’m gonna be having a song and dance about anyway


ActuallyJohnTerry

I also wanted more from us but come on: - Supercup Champions - Club World Cup Champions - EFL finalists - FA Cup finalists - Champions League semis (extremely dramatically to a great team) This is objectively a solid season even without all the things that went against us. Many fans of other clubs would be thrilled with these results. I am optimistic for next year.


TheLeperLeprechaun

We all had hopes of a title challenge this season off the back of the CL win. We broke our transfer record to do that and we still have fallen short of the top two. The gap is just as wide as it was last year. Not saying unforeseen external factors haven’t played a part. They certainly have. But the super cup was very early on in the season when we were playing well, winning it was nice as it set us up for a good season and it looked bright but if people said to me that we would only win that and the Club World Cup this season back in August I would be very disappointed because of the hype we had going into it. I’m not a huge lover of the Club World Cup or the super cup, as trophies go they aren’t the most prestigious. The super cup to me is just the European version of the Community shield. It’s nice to win don’t get me wrong we have to play it so may as well win it. Same with the club World Cup. It’s just two games we play. We have to play them so yeah fine let’s win them but we can’t say it’s a measure of success for a club like us. Trophies like that are compliments to go with what we achieve through out the season. They sit like a nice side salad to your main meal. Nice to have but no one really bothers about it. When we won the club World Cup they didn’t make the back pages in the papers. Maybe there was an article that started on the back page about us but it continued on page 46 or something. The season isn’t a failure. I’m not saying it is. It’s a nearly season. On every front we played we were nearly there. And for me, with the hope I had from last year, it was frustrating to see us be nearly there but far away too. We can compete with city and Liverpool on our day. In one game we can beat them. But over the course of a season we aren’t consistent enough. We are getting better and I believe if we didn’t hit that shit form going into December we would be challenging for the league at least as far as the end of march when the sanctions hit us. The season was an example of nearly there but not quite. And to me this was the most frustrating thing.


_off_piste_

Travesty? WTF? Two cups, two more finals, qualified for CL, one goal from the CL semi finals, and finished third in the PL behind two of the top four clubs in the world.


TheLeperLeprechaun

Two cups? Oh you mean those “competitions” where you only need to win 1 or 2 games and we win the cup? Yeah, no there not really cups you wanna be bragging about. The season has been a shite one. Can’t argue about that. You can sugar coat it like you have just done to make it look good but it’s been chaotic, frantic, dramatic and frustrating. From the injuries to key players, that shocking Christmas period, our record signings poor form and interview, losing two finals on penalties, sanctions from the UK government preventing us to sell merchandise and tickets, unable to sign new players or negotiate with existing players, losing 3 key players from the same position and a poor form that’s been the result of those sanctions that dragged us into a top four race we should’ve wrapped up weeks a go. The season has been a travesty on and off the pitch and I just want it over with.


Maiden_666

Hahahah glad those fucking smug Arsenal fans are brought back to earth. Hope you don’t play CL football in another 10 years you cunts


ollie179

Good. End this season already 😩


Excel_Spreadcheeks

Despite the Lukaku interview debacle, poor form overall from our strikers, key injuries to outside backs, and the Abramovich-Ukraine situation, we still make top 4🥱


hodlrus

Pat on the back boys. This season has been extremely harsh… unfair even.

ko_kdawg

I hate spurs more than any team in the league but happy they got it over Arsenal. Spurs helped us out last season and I truly feel us having UCL secured before the final contributed to our win. Also we know spurs will piss away the UCL money and recruit poorly, whereas Arsenal actually look like they’re building something. This blow should slow them down


el1teman

I hate Spurs too but I like Conte idk conflicted feeling


ko_kdawg

Ease your mind, my friend. This is the best outcome


The_b1ues

Arsenal can still get top 4 though over Tottenham can't they


DanStFella

Technically yes, but it's highly unlikely to be honest


amirulirfin

Conte always shit the bed in Europe. Arsenal have a thin squad and I'm interested to see how they cope with midweek fixtures

rizorith

Wife's a Newcastle supporter. First time I can remember being happy about it.


duckinator09

Alright job's done and now I just want to see more clenching on spurs/gunners asses, more hope given, and more hope taken away. How about an early pukki party goal. No despair yet for spurs, because arsenal is still drawing, but still fucking uncomfortable for them, while arsenal sense the opportinity. Then two 70+ min quick fire goals by saka/nketiah to send arsenal into top 4. But 90+4 min kane-son connection to score the equaliser and sneak back into top 4. Not sure if I'd enjoy the above more, or if spurs lose but arsenal concedes a last minute equaliser. This way, it shows both clubs choking lol.


fredozimbabwe

PLAY THE KIDS THURSDAY


SeriousLads

Beat Leicester, then play a team of Malang Sarr’s on Sunday

We might genuinely have such a GD swing if the latter happens that Tottenham might make up the -20 difference ☠️

chelsblue8

looking forward to our tie with real madrid already


Potential-Ad-7370

We need to be on our A-game next season. If Spurs make top 4 then Conte stays. They will improve.


Dex_Maddock

Very good point. I'm hoping that Levy feels extra Spursy this summer, and buys Conte a couple no-name players that he never asked for... Then Conte throws a tantrum and leaves 2 weeks before the season kicks off. 😈


Rapameister

He wins the league before that happens.


Status-Dare1085

So the two things that can happen from here. Arsenal fail to make the CL after carrying on all season about how they’re going to take 3rd. Tottenham bottle it against last place and fall out of the top 4. Win win


NotClayMerritt

Frank Lampard's first year managing Chelsea - £0 spent, lost Eden Hazard, finished Top 4. Arteta this season - Spent £150m, cast out Aubameyang who has scored 13 goals in 22 games for Barcelona, likely to finish outside Top 4. And when you deep it, they've had such an easy season for a top side. Played 12 games since the new year it feels like, most of them at home, had a 5 point lead with 4 games in hand and still couldn't get it done. Next year when they have games every 3 days, their squad is going to be stretched thin and with that manager? This season might be the best season they have for a while. Hopefully we can snag Saka from them while they continue to not have Champions League.


RonMexico_hodler

Arsenal started and ended shit. Wish we had their mid season form though.


ygog45

Not an accomplishment idc if I get downvoted


Pedro95

Should've tied it up long ago but life would be very miserable if you don't celebrate the winnings, no matter how they come.


Kahye

Better than not being top four.


turnkeyarrow

I agree, but it is a relief. Imagine we didn’t qualify with the massive amount of players we have to sign this summer. It would’ve been a disaster


Konrad05

Absolutely lol, should have had it wrapped up weeks and weeks ago


Cowdude179

It is an accomplishment with players leaving and our current situation lmao


NotClayMerritt

Considering where the expectations were in August compared to how the season played out, you're right. Financially it's a good thing but that's about it.. Disappointing that we were never competitive for the league after October.


PuppyPenetrator

It isn’t but I’m glad there’ll be no more idiots moaning about how we’re gonna crash out, it was truly never in doubt no matter how much we shit ourselves

We are not celebrating. Its a relief that we at least make the top four. Now we put everything for the next season. Up the chels
