The problem is, Chelsea know they're favourites to miss out on the CL altogether if they don't win today, as Man City will start as favourites in the final. I don't mean to piss on anyone's chips, but I don't see Chelsea players bottling out of challenges because they have another game after this, however important. I hope, I really hope I'm wrong and you're right. 3

Md9 Posted 23 May 2021 Posted 23 May 2021 Just need grielish to start the game and then he will do gown after any touch and wind them up rudiger to get sent off because he is a t*** Chilwell to score an og mass brawl to break out Chelsea deducted another 15 points and miss out in Europe altogether 1

jeffschlupp Posted 23 May 2021 Posted 23 May 2021 Couple of mentions that Kamal Sowah might be in the squad on Twitter - he is listed in the club's list of U21 players (as it is limitless), but I don't know whether that means he can return to play for us this season or not. PL Handbook is a bit vague with regards to 'international transfer certificates' and the like. Would be useful if we needed some pace second half?
StanSP Posted 23 May 2021 Posted 23 May 2021 Not like we've had to pay for clappers before but more free food and drink is always welcome 3

He has been in the training photos for today so it means he definitely has his work permit sorted But still I think it would be a bit weird if he turned up in the squad today, loan contracts usually run until the end of the month

I'm sure there used to be (and maybe still is) contention around players getting their loans extended to cover play-offs that have run over into June?
StanSP Posted 23 May 2021 Posted 23 May 2021 Seeing some stuff on Twitter about turning up at the ground or being allowed in at specific times? Done the questionnaire and had nothing about a set time to enter?

Guest Danny Clender Posted 23 May 2021 Posted 23 May 2021 Can anyone confirm if Youri's in the match day programme or not?

The reason I don't think it's totally impossible they don't win is simply because Vila is a decent side and Graelish is capable of wonder goals against any opponent at any time.

They are and he is, but it's a lot to expect of a player returning from a lengthy injury to deny Chelsea. You're right though, Villa are capable alright, I've been quite impressed with Watkins this season and McGinn has not only impressed, but had a recent rich vein of scoring form. In no way is all hope lost but we're rightly underdogs of the 3 teams chasing 2 places. We like being underdogs though.

TrickyTrevLeftPeg Posted 23 May 2021 Posted 23 May 2021 Villa have nothing really to play for. Surely they will play a few youth players and with John Terry at Villa aswell he will be in ear of Dean Smith to play as many kids as possible. Can't see Chelsea dropping points. Hopefully a few twists and turns this afternoon
