COME ON YOU BLUES!!! I fully expect this post to disinterest 99% of the class since it’s about soccer. If you aren’t interested in premier league football (soccer) then here’s your chance to leave. OK now that everyone has left time for me to vent about Chelsea’s abysmal form as of late.
At the beginning of the season, I was very optimistic about our chances at silverware both domestically and internationally, but now halfway through the premier league season and in the knockout stages of the Champions League, things look rather bleak for Chelsea. We sit at 8th place in the table which is dreadful after spending over 200 million dollars over the summer transfer window. Our 2-0 loss against Leicester just showed the disparities between a team in form and a team out of form. We won against Fulham by only 1 and they had ten men on the pitch after a late first-half red card. I don’t understand why the new signings are struggling as well as other core players.
Many people are turning on the manager, Frank Lampard, who is a club legend. He is one of Chelsea’s best players of all time, if not the best. He had a great first season as manager last year leading us to finish in 4th place in the league and reach the FA Cup Final, despite the transfer ban. This season with all the new purchases everyone expected us to be title challengers and while mathematically it seems like a slim chance that we’ll challenge for the league title, I still have faith, rather blind faith. I just hope Frank can turn the ship around and lead us on another unbeaten run as we had earlier this season. I hope he doesn’t get sacked as it would be hard to see such a club legend leave that way. Only time will tell, I just hope we regain form in time for our clash with Atletico Madrid in the Champions League.

I saw that Frank Lampard was fired and replaced. Must be pretty big news if I hear about soccer in America.
