Maybe playing the youngsters is the way forward ??

Oldest player Chilwell 27 ?


Crazy stat - Chilwell and James have only played together 11 times in the last 100 games !!

Chelsea have played decent enough tonight but lets be fair, Villa have been rubbish. Easy win for Chelsea.

Soooo when did football commentating change from simply naming the player in possession to today’s incessant chatting between the two commentators !?

I’ve had to mute the City v Burnley game and put on the Talksport commentary ( had to sync the footage to the audio )

Sheeesh !!

Vinicius JR and Bellingham are on a different level of class!

That ball from Vini JR for Bellingham's first goal was one of the best passes i've ever seen. Just out of this world!

Playing like they are right now, Real Madrid are the best team in the world, it's that simple. Beating 2nd place Girona 4-0 after 60 mins. (it's on ITV 4 fwiw)

I’m watching Bayer Leverkusan play Bayern Munich off the park .. I reckon they’d give anyone a game


If will be interesting who Xabi Alonso chooses in the summer .. Liverpool or Real Madrid

Loved Jonathan Pearce back in his C5 days when he did the Chelsea UEFA Cup games. Can't stand him now, and haven't be able to for a long time.

First x rated foul from West ‘am

Hammer’s fans start booing Saka for getting assaulted :(

Yeah 4:0 down but that means we get a bloodbath in the second half



Hopefully they sack Moyse afterwards and they bring in a manager who plays the old West Ham way .,..

Tens of thousands of West Ham fans leaving the ground before halftime !!

Moyse will probably resign to save face ..

the WH fans were shouting boring, boring arsenal :joker:

I wondered if that was the Arsenal fans as a joke

West Ham are 2nd dirtiest London PL team, after Spurs of course.

Calvin Phillips on now .. kicking anything that moves … dear me

Phillips was walking back and made no effort to stop Saka from scoring.

This is one of the troubles with 5 subs .. they just take off anyone with a yellow then the substitutes just start fouling ..

Even Ward-Prowse is barging into people now ..

Why Spurs though ?

They only have Romero who’s thuggish and even he has settled down since he was given some responsibility

Why are VAR doing nothing about these dangerous lunges ?

Souček just took Martinelli out at knee level

Spurs players actually attempt to injure opposition players with their tackles. And every time they play Chelsea it's the same. They go out to break legs and intentionally hurt Chelsea players. It's well known by everyone but you it seems. The dirtiest performance ever in the PL was at the hands of Spurs against Chelsea a few years back.

Phillips barging into the back of Nelson flattened him .. right in front of the ref who didn’t even speak to him

Martinelli hacked down needlessly

Arsenal making subs to protect their players
