Blues cooking up something

HELLO my good football people...trust you're keeping well! Seeing as the transfer window has gone a bit quiet over the last week, I'm going to get straight into it.

Guys, stop sending me Club World Cup stuff... I know how horrible it must be for all of you having to see Chelsea crowned “champions of the world”, but I'm with you, so stop trying to explain to me the value (or lack of it). It's a Mickey Mouse trophy, ill-timed and plonked in the middle of a country that simply needed it as a test run for the 2026 World Cup.

I don’t think anyone (Chelsea or not) truly believes the Blues are the world’s best club. Apart from anything, look at the side of the draw the west London club were in. They might as well have played Saxon Rovers (no disrespect) or a Builders Warehouse “B” team to get to the final.

Naaah, it’s simply a Fifa showpiece which they've changed to every four years in an attempt to give it a bit of clout.

So yeah, don’t worry, not with me anyway. I mean social media-based fans will be smearing it all over the place, but I'll never claim to support the “world champions”. Okay, are we done now?

Competitive

Saying all that, the knockout stages were fully competitive and provided some real tests... there are of course a few major positives from the Blues’ perspective.
